The Responsibilities of the Church, Preaching, Part 2a
John MacArthur has spent more than five decades teaching the Bible verse-by-verse . . . often for nearly an hour at a time. Clearly, he’s committed to in-depth preaching. But should all pastors still preach like that? Since attention spans have dropped should pastors adapt their messages? Wouldn’t congregations be better served by shorter, more topical sermons?

Keeping a Pure Mind

There may be a long—and commendable—list of things you’d never actually do. But what about the things you think about doing? How are you at controlling your thoughts?

The Memory That Shuns Sin, Part 2b
When you become a Christian, how you talk, think, and even what you do for fun changes. But as you might have found a radical change in your priorities doesn’t happen without a price.

Frankly, it’s evidence that you’ve taken steps to break sin’s hold on your life.Hear more on GRACE TO YOU with John MacArthur.
The Memory That Shuns Sin, Part 2a
Scripture calls Christians to many things . . . but certainly not to a life of violence. Yet where sin is concerned, you need to do everything possible to destroy its power . . . it’s grip. . . and just because you’re a Christian doesn’t mean sin isn’t a threat. So . . . what does it take for you to break free from the sins you do battle with? John MacArthur explains that on GRACE TO YOU.
The Memory That Shuns Sin, Part 1b
You can probably imagine the anger you’d feel toward a con artist who cheated you on a business deal, a robber who broke into your house, or a terrorist who hurt someone you love.But how offended are you by the very thing that Christ died for . . . the sins he bore on the cross? How often do you get angry about your sin? Hear more on GRACE TO YOU with John MacArthur.

Stop Criticizing, Part 2
If you’ve ever tried to speak out against dishonesty at work . . . or evangelize a neighbor trapped in a sinful lifestyle . . . perhaps you’ve been told, “Judge not, that you be not judged.” Sadly, for many people that verse is a convenient defense against calls for repentance. But was Jesus really saying we shouldn’t judge sin? John MacArthur answers that on GRACE TO YOU.
