From the Frontline: The Centrality of the Cross

This week, Hunter and I will discuss the Centrality of the Cross. When the Apostle Paul summarised the essential basics of the Good News, he put it this way:

"For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures."

1 Corinthians 15:3.

The centre of the Christian Gospel is the Cross and the salvation that God wrought on the Cross is the greatest act in all the history of mankind. It is no wonder that Paul could say:

"When I came to you, my brothers… I made up my mind to forget everything except Jesus Christ and especially His death on the Cross."

1 Corinthians 2:1,2

From the Frontline: Back to the Bible Mission

This week, Daniel interviews Alieske and I concerning our recent mission to Mpumalanga and Back to the Bible Mission. BBM recently celebrated 30 years of training pastors from all over Africa in an intensive three-year body, mind and spirit curriculum that studies every Book of the Bible. Frontline Fellowship has been involved with this leadership training initiative from the beginning. I have been part of the faculty of guest lecturers for this college over the last 14 years, lecturing on Missions, Church History, Biblical Worldview and Muslim Evangelism.

“Having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the Word of God which lives and abides forever.”

1 Peter 1:23

From the Frontline: The Authority and Inerrancy of Scripture

Daniel, Ndumiso, and Hunter discuss the importance of having a theology deeply rooted in the inerrant Word of God. Numbers 23:19 proclaims, “God is not man, that He should lie, or a son of man, that He should change His mind.” We must wrestle with the fact that every Word that God has spoken is true in its entirety and without error in any way. If we compromise on this foundation doctrine we will fall into many dangerous heresies and errors in our Churches today.

Today’s podcast Daniel and Hunter will be opening up Habakkuk 3 and discussing the nature of prayer. What does it look like to seek the presence of God amidst the turmoil in our hearts? How do we look back and remember the goodness of God rather than become depressed at the failures of our lives? How do we look forward to trust in the LORD rather than become anxious at the uncertainties of tomorrow? How do we get from a place of fear over the world’s troubles to a place deepened faith in the LORD amidst our troubles? 

“O Lord, I have heard the report of You, and Your work, O Lord, do I fear.”

Habakkuk 3:1  

From the Frontline-Episode 158-The Importance of the Great Commission

From the Frontline: The Importance of the Great Commission

This week, Daniel and I discuss the importance of the Great Commission of our Lord Jesus Christ. The last command of our Lord Jesus Christ ought to be our first concern. At the end of each of the Gospels and at the beginning of Acts, our Lord Jesus Christ emphasised different aspects of the Great Commission. What does the Great Commission require of us? How can we be more effective in fulfilling the plan and purposes of our Redeemer?

“…Repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His Name to all nations…”

Luke 24:47
