Portraits of Grace

John MacArthur: This is John MacArthur with another edition of Portraits of Grace. Today, an alarming number of Christians seem to lack spiritual stability. Many are carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful scheming. Others lack moral purity. Too many believers are driven by their emotions rather than sound thinking.

Increasingly, therapists and psychologists are replacing pastors and biblical teachers as the heroes of the faith. While we still proclaim a sovereign, all-powerful God, our conduct may belie our creed. Well, despite all that, Paul said, "Be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might." That’s possible only when you trust God and rely on His infinite resources in Christ. This is John MacArthur, looking forward to bringing you more Portraits of Grace.
