The Sovereignty of God in Suffering
Sin and Augustine
Is it truly in our nature to sin? What effect does sin have on our lives? How deep do the roots of sin go? God’s Word tells us that all men sit under the condemnation of sin “because all sinned.” (Romans 5:12-21) Paul says that sin entered the world through the trespass of one man. His [...]

In Chapter 2 of Preaching the Cross, J. Ligon Duncan III offers “eight simple exhortations” in regards to preaching Christ from the Old Testament.
