A Foghorn for a Sleepy Church ⏰

“Islamic extremists blow-up our teenagers, our elected governments teach our children about the benefits of pornography and prominent church leaders say nothing biblical about abortion and transgenderism.”

Beginning with Saul’s dramatic transformation from Christian-hater to radical disciple, The Glorious Few leads the reader on a journey through the de-radicalised Church to discover what radical discipleship really means.

Nick Franks reflects on the counterfeit process by which Islamic terrorists are radicalised and what this spiritual forgery teaches us about the Holy Spirit and His preparation of the Church for the return of Christ.

Using scriptural study, extensive research and personal testimony, The Glorious Few is ultimately a heart-felt cry for national repentance and the Bride of Christ to be straightened out in preparation for the return of Jesus. 

A Consequence of Cessationism

Whether or not the Holy Spirit continues to give gifts to the Church today is not an “agree to disagree” issue. We should think about it like this: approximately 50% of the Body of Christ are believing/teaching error that both displeases the Lord but also hamstrings the Church. I enjoyed watching this sermon from John MacArthur yesterday but in his handling of several passages of Scripture he failed to address the unfaithfulness of the Church. THIS is the question of the moment and it is no surprise to me that cessationist men of the stature and quality of MacArthur are failing to hit the nail on the head — instead they’re in effect skimming the nail with a hammer so as to knock it in but knock it in all askew.
