Salvation, the Cross, and the Reformation
TheCrossPurpose Podcast Episode 10 (Q&A) - We talk about church unity, salvation, the Protestant Reformation and so on...
So, we hosted a very short Q&A session during an event held a few weeks back commemorating the Reformation Day. There were several questions about the reformation and about the unity of the church that were fielded by Michael and Ashok. Here's what happened there.

Worship Services, the Cross, and John MacArthur
In today's episode, we delve into the recent incident involving John MacArthur and his church, Grace Community Church in California, who took a stand against the local government and decided to resume conducting services as they used to. How do we discern, from a Biblical viewpoint, the right reaction to the government closing down churches for such a long time period, and how do we evaluate the stand we must take for the gospel?
Sin not leading to death, the Cross, and Prayer
The wages of sin is death. How, then, can there be sin that does not lead to death? Here is another Q&A episode from The Cross Purpose podcast. We try to tackle a somewhat difficult question regarding sin not leading to death, as talked about in 1John chapter 5.
Racism, the Cross, and Righteous Reactions
It's been a while since the last episode, but we've come out of our hiatus to discuss the compelling social movement that has begun to gain critical mass in the West and is rapidly spreading throughout the world. How do we understand everything that's going on around the "Black Lives Matter" movement, and how do we react to it, considering our Christian worldview?
