When we first began the Scripture-Driven Church broadcast several years ago, the first ten messages we produced were a series titled "What Does It Mean To Be A Scripture-Driven Church?" Some of the archived recordings of that series are of rather poor audio quality. But even so, over the years it has been the most-listened-to series in our archive, and also the most-request resource on CD.

Today we present the first message in an updated version of that series. We have added new content to the messages, and of course the audio quality is much improved. We hope this series will be a blessing, encouragement, and challenge to you.

Message number one explores the crisis state of the Evangelical church, in which the Bible has become, as one magazine puts it, "The Greatest Story Never Read."
How should a Bible-believing Christian witness to a Mormon? How should you deal with Mormon missionaries who come to your door, or Mormons you encounter in your workplace, school, or neighborhood? Stay tuned for the answer in the final message of our series, "Christianity vs. Mormonism."
Mormons call themselves "Latter-Day Saints." But what is their definition of a saint? Does it pass the Biblical test? Today we shall see that four key elements of Mormon teaching combine to put forth a false gospel that condemns rather than saves.

Mormonism's confusing and contradictory soteriology:

. denies Christ's atonement
. says that each person must atone for his own sins by works
. teaches near-universal "salvation"
. says that Mormon men will become gods ruling their own planets, while all others will be relegated to the status of second- and third-class citizens for eternity.

But what does Scripture say? Stay tuned to learn more.
In the life to come, adoption means a secure inheritance, a new citizenship, a new body, and much more.
In this present life, adoption means new relationships, new privileges, and new responsibilities.
How are believers adopted by God? This precious doctrine is often neglected in contemporary preaching.
Today, as Hebrews 13:9 puts it, there are "many various and strange doctrines" about the coming of Jesus Christ. Liberal theologians call Jesus "the perfect liberal" while one evangelical leader has called Him "the perfect conservative." Why are these, and so many other misrepresentations of Christ's first-advent mission, fatally flawed? Stay tuned for the answer, from the words of Christ Himself, in a special Christmas message.
Mormonism teaches a pagan counterfeit of the doctrine of the Trinity. Is this a mere theological technicality? Absolutely not! In fact, there is no salvation for sinners apart from the work of the Trinity as taught in Scripture. Stay tuned to learn more, as we continue our series, "Christianity vs. Mormonism."
One of the most confusing and contradictory areas of Mormon theology is its false doctrine of what it calls "the Holy Spirit." It is also one of the areas in which true Christians can be most easily deceived. Stay tuned to learn more as we continue our series, "Christianity vs. Mormonism."
Like all cults that falsely claim to be Christian, Mormonism redefines the Bible's terminology. Nowhere is this more the case than in Mormonism's horrible disfigurement of the incarnation of the Lord Jesus Christ. They have invented a pagan substitute for the authentic Jesus.

Stay tuned to learn why "Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints" is a false name for a false church.
