Off with the Old, On with the New, Part 2-1
It’s been said, “the sun melts snow but hardens clay.” And if you think about it, that’s also a great analogy for the power of God’s Word. For some it melts their resistance to the gospel, makes them softer, more sensitive sin. But it causes others to harden their hearts, run faster into evil, and farther from the Lord. John MacArthur examines this issue today on GRACE TO YOU.
Off with the Old, On with the New, Part 1-2
“Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.” Well, not to spiritualize that poem . . . but certainly you know the Christian road is the less-traveled way—as Scripture says, few find it. You can think of John MacArthur’s current study on GRACE TO YOU as something of a road map . . . charting a course for growth in Christ.
