@iMatthewJ Thought you'd like this one. We preach the person of Christ, not mere facts!

Brothers, the sunrises upon the Lord’s Day first here in NZ. Have a great Sunday morning doing what really matters and what we have been called to do: Feeding Christ's people - amidst trial and hardship and blessing and joy - by preaching Christ. Lets go!

Oof I have to share another one from the same sermon: “If there is hate outside the church coming to attack the church, then there should be great love inside the church.” @iMatthewJ

“In our sharing of the Gospel, we need to explain to unbelievers that they will experience hostility, even hate. What a terrible, weak gospel there is when it’s prosperity gospel.” - Matthew Johnston @iMatthewJ youtu.be/zpAK-w9FWh8?si…

"The pulpit is never to be the ladder by which ambition is to climb." - Charles Spurgeon


We need to appreciate at the deepest level the fact that the words “fear not” were so frequently on Jesus’ lips. — Sinclair Ferguson 📷: Cefalu, Italy 🇮🇹

Plenty of the old school dispensationalists did not deny the active obedience of Christ. 🤷‍♂️

The active obedience of Christ, His perfect keeping of the law, is imputed to believers. — Charles Ryrie, ‘The Ryrie Study Bible’, note on Romans 5:19.



The Spirit's witness is an immediate, internal, and powerful operation. — John Owen, Works, 3.374


Really looking forward to having @SlowToWrite on the @NoLastingCity_ podcast soon to talk about ‘Christ-less Conservatism’.

“And yet, shall not Israel be restored? Yes, the prophet speaketh of the restoration of Israel." “The calling of the Jews is a thing most certain, and shall be wrought in the latter days." — John Knox, 1540.



John Knox had a “characteristic directness.” Predestination was so much a part of Knox’s messages that 150 years later Arminians criticized Whitfield for preaching “doctrine borrowed from Knox.” Knox said, “absolute sovereignty is what I love to ascribe to God.” — Douglas Bond

The pactum salutis is the eternal agreement between the Father and the Son, in which the Son undertakes to redeem sinful men. - Charles Hodge, Systematic Theology, Vol. 2, p. 364.


The determining factor of my existence is no longer my past. It is Christ's past. — Sinclair Ferguson

The lifelong obedience of Christ was necessary in order for Him to be a suitable sacrifice for sin and “the source of eternal salvation” (Heb. 5:7–9; 9:14). In other words, apart from His full and active obedience, we could not be saved. — John MacArthur

“All faith here is imperfect; and our security is this, that it matters not how poor or weak our faith may be: if it touches the perfect One, all is well.” — Horatius Bonar


John Flavel continued to meet secretly with parishioners in [illegal gatherings]. Once he even disguised himself as a woman on horse back in order to reach a secret gathering where he preached. — Beeke & Pederson


Matthew Johnston Reposted

"How can you be a bold proclaimer of the Word of God if you are not nurturing your soul?" – Carl Hargrove


We must realize that our union with Christ and faithfulness to Him will draw enemy fire. Since our enemy is “more crafty than any beast of the field” (Gen. 3:1), he may use “friendly fire” too. — Sinclair Ferguson on John 15:18-27
