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)

Mark Dever preferred, hands down, to Todd Bentley!

I really did have it in mind to post a couple of the Todd Bentley 'exposes'; you know, he of the hideous 'bizarre-ness' going on down in Lakeland, FL. Well, it's just gone utterly out of bounds - beyond the bounds of reason and reasonableness. Don't bother. I'm sure God (note upper-case G) is nowhere to be found, in that maelstrom of heretical carryings-on. I think we're back to the "short-term gain, long-term loss" scenario - even if, and I do mean if, the claims and postulations of the proponents are even marginally realized.
Instead, here's some markedly more sound material. Mark Dever is lucid, and vastly more to be emulated, in the how to do church category.
