The Immeasurable Glory: What the Puritans Got Right About Holiness

We often caricature the Puritans as joyless legalists, obsessed with rules and devoid of life. But what if they held the key to the very thing the modern church is missing? In this post, we dust off the 'Old Paths' to discover that for the Puritans, holiness was never about earning God's love—it was about enjoying it. We dive into the vital distinction between the root of salvation (Justification) and the fruit of salvation (Sanctification), and why the famous warning—'Be killing sin, or sin will be killing you'—is actually a promise of freedom. Stop settling for a 'clean outside' and discover the immeasurable glory of a heart renewed by grace.

Giants in the Mist: Why Spurgeon and the Puritans Are the Antidote to Modern Anemia

In an era of high-tech worship and "relevant" messaging, why does the modern soul often feel so anemic? We have traded the granite of the Reformation for the papier-mâché of pop psychology, leaving us tossed by every wind of doctrine. To recover our strength, we must look backward—not in nostalgia, but to the "Old Paths" (Jeremiah 6:16) trodden by the Puritans and Charles Spurgeon. These giants were not joyless moralists; they were physicians of the soul who knew God as a consuming fire and a loving Father. It is time to blow the dust off the old volumes and rediscover a weight of glory that can sustain us in a lightweight age.
