MacArthur/Sproul Q&A (Video)

This is a fun little video clip from a recent event. Also, R.C. Sproul does a good job answering a question about double predestination.

Reformed Perspective

There’s a new issue of Reformed Perspective magazine available for download if you’re interested.

The Story of Martin Luther (Video)

You may enjoy this video which tells the story of Martin Luther through Playmobil. Mike Reeves narrates.
