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)

Considering the culture of Christmas

R. Scott Clark is Professor of Church History and Historical Theology at Westminster Seminary California, author, and Associate Pastor at Oceanside United Reformed Church (Carlsbad, CA)..He comments, via his podcast, on a radio show out of Chicago: The Heidelcast Learns from Steve Dahl. On that webpage, mouse-over Heidelcast Jan 1 2010, and click play, on the player.
Dr. Clark rather gets to the heart of a lot of contemporary evangelical emphases. He urges the necessity for focusing upon "law and gospel" in evangelistic endeavors. It should be an eye-opener for churches, and individuals, that hope to provide effective means for the conversion of unbelievers.
