What the Prosperity Gospel Does to the Gospel – If you read this site you’re probably convinced that the prosperity gospel is unbiblical. This short article takes a look at how the prosperity gospel distorts the true gospel.

There Was No Golden Age – Marc Cortez: “I often ask my students to give me a quick summary of church history. It’s a good way to see what they know, and, more importantly, what they think they know.

As a result, many of these songs became gems that have withstood the crucible of time.”

—J.C. Ryle
