Truth more than Error?

Jesus said in John 17:17, “…Thy Word is Truth.” Are we certain of the what the Truth, the Gospel, is, and are we being faithful in proclaiming it? And…do we focus more on exposing error than proclaiming the Truth? On this program, Mike takes a look at these topics, plus shares a portion of a Mark Driscoll message on preaching.

Challenging Caricatures of Calvinism

Dr. Thomas Ascol of Founder Ministries writes,” I hope I live long enough to see the day when the common caricatures of the doctrines of sovereign grace have been so widely exposed that any self-respecting preacher will be ashamed to keep serving them up as if they were irrefutable critiques of what John Broadus called “that exalted system of Pauline truth which is technically called Calvinism.”  On todays program, Mike examines the gross misrepresentation what he calls “the true exposition of Scripture.”
