Keeping Grace in the Gospel by Chris Shepler. Sword of the Lord Publications
The greatest truth ever spoken for the good of mankind is what the Bible calls “the gospel of the grace of God.”
Keeping Grace in the Gospel returns readers to that truth by directing them back to the unadorned Gospel revealed in Scripture. In a world crowded with religious noise, this book calls Christians to guard the simplicity of salvation found in the Person and work of Christ alone.
Using Scripture, Dr. Shepler exposes how additions to grace, such as works, rituals, moral effort, or religious performance, turn the Good News into a counterfeit message with no power to save. Salvation rests entirely on the finished and substitutionary work of Jesus Christ: His death for our sins, His burial and His triumphant resurrection. Nothing can be added, and nothing must be earned.
Throughout this book, readers are shown how to discern false gospels by being firmly rooted in the true Gospel. Keeping Grace in the Gospel urges Christians to proclaim the Gospel of the grace of God plainly and rest fully in the sufficiency of Christ’s finished work.

The War in Iran
BY DR. SHELTON SMITH // MARCH 11, 2026 As the Middle East turmoil continues, the war waged by the United States is a topic of much discussion. I have been repeatedly asked as to how I feel about it. 1. We can never be happy about war. No matter how necessary it may be, it is not a happy occasion. 2. In the case of Iran, the United States did not start this conflict. Iran has been killing and maiming thousands of Americans and thousands of Israelis for the past 47 years. 3.

No Plan B
We are all familiar with the idea that if things do not work out as we originally planned, then we go to Plan B. Plan B is our backup when Plan A goes awry. Plan B is not what we hoped to do, but when Plan A fails, we have another way to accomplish our goals.

The attacks in Australia are an example of the hatred birthed out of Islam that is targeting the Jews....
