“…which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ.”

John Stott

To tamper with the gospel is always to trouble the church. You cannot touch the gospel and leave the church untouched, because the church is created and lives by the gospel.”
