Man's relationship to God in creation was based on works. What Adam failed to achieve, Christ, the second Adam, succeeded in achieving. Ultimately the only way one can be justified is by works. (R.C.Sproul) Works! Works! A man gets to heaven by works? I would as soon think of climbing to the moon on a rope of sand! (George Whitefield) With the wolves you cannot be too severe. With the weak sheep you cannot be too gentle.” (Martin Luther on false teachers)

The Gospel Truth - By and Large!

I don't know that I should expect that everyone who navigates to this site will drop anchor and remain for any great length of time. I can only hope that I will have provided enough material that that can be done – if 'one' wishes to stay. Anyway, it has long been my wish that a venue could be provided that would allow me, or anyone else, the opportunity to read, or hear, relatively small portions of relatively great resources; sermons, etc.. The sort of material that I have in mind could be defined as 'the message in a capsule - something that represents the heart of the issue being presented. Well, YouTube and Google Video have provided just that – not to say there is not also a huge amount of junk and garbage. For the most part, that is, by and large, we'll try to steer clear of that kind of stuff. GodTube is another source that many might consider to be less problematic.

I don't know how much embedding I can do on a single blog, but I have several videos that I do want to share.

Some of the clearest and most definitive explanations of what I would consider to be Gospel Truth come from Pastor Mark Driscoll of Mars Hill Church in Seattle, WA.. He has been, and may still be, in some ways, a quite controversial speaker, and has broadly diverse reviews, but he definitely “Get(s) the Gospel right”. He may have, at times, stretched the envelope regarding propriety and decorum, but in the following clips, he tells it straight, and without compromise. See if you agree.
