Gospel Centered
This was a blog I was sent by a reformed pastor outside of KC. He sent it to me and it was a focus that we must keep in mind all the time lest we stray. You can read the whole blog here http://www.joethorn.net/2009/08/11/gospel-centered/ Or if you can settle for my cliff’s notes you can [...]

Man’s Pride Sacrifice At The Alter Of Public Confession
