The True Nature of Belief
"/> 'Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.'

The Narrow And The Wide Gates
"/>Christ sets out life's options. Here is the meaning of the wide gate, through which one is carried by the crowd into purposelessness and spiritual disaster. In contrast - the narrow gate; and why it gets this description, when in fact it is the gate of enduring happiness.

Articles
Six Biblical Steps for Guidance
Dr Peter Masters
This article presents the traditional view that we are to seek guidance from the Lord in all the major decisions of life, and he will clarify our thinking, or overrule our circumstances. ‘Shew me thy ways, O Lord; teach me thy paths. Lead me in thy truth, and teach me.’ (Psalm 25.4-5)
Will Believers Pass Through The Judgement?
Dr Peter Masters
‘For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad’ (2 Corinthians 5.10). Will believers be included at the judgement seat of Christ?
The Holy War – Do we dodge enlistment?
Dr Peter Masters
The devil’s self-assumed task is to bring down the human race. He has brought about the Fall by his lies, and if he can keep all people in rebellion against God’s standards and desires, then the Lord will appear to have failed. Of course this is impossible, but Satan, in blind hatred, seeks to score over God and wreck his handiwork.

Metropolitan Tabernacle
The Tabernacle archives contain hundreds of testimonies of those converted during Spurgeon’s pastorate. Many glorious themes shine through, especially the instrumentality of gospel preaching and Sunday School work, the transformed lives of converts and their forsaking of the world.

Worship or Entertainment?
Dr Peter Masters
Where will your church be five or ten years from now? – asks the author. With the adoption of contemporary music worship many have already changed beyond recognition. Yet more will do so. Here are four essential principles which Jesus Christ laid down for worship, and by which every new idea must be judged.
Joshua’s Conquest
Dr Peter Masters
What is the spiritual message of Joshua's conquest for today? How can we account for the 'problem' portions and passages which evoke questions on, for example, the morality of so much killing, and the apparent responsibility of God in hardening the hearts of the Canaanites?
Nearly a Christian
C H Spurgeon
'The greatest tragedy must be the person who dies just outside the gate of life. They are standing just outside, but not stepping over the threshold themselves. Almost saved - but altogether lost.' For someone who has yet to accept Christ as their Saviour, reading this book could be the most important step they ever take.
Seven Certain Signs of True Conversion
