The Fox Den

by Terry Fox

Terry Fox explores the Bible to reveal the Christian message so you will know you have peace with God in Jesus Christ by the grace of God. Christianity is the amazing story of a holy God pursuing His sinful people to rescue them from sin, death, the devil, and His wrath. To do this God came to earth as a man, Jesus Christ, lived a perfect life and died the death we deserve. Furthermore, the Holy Spirit makes you alive with Christ and unites you to Him by working faith in you. Now all that belongs to Jesus Christ belongs to you. His righteousness is credited to you. His death is your death. His resurrection is your resurrection. You are secure in Jesus Christ because you are saved by grace. Now you have peace with God in Jesus Christ. You will see this more clearly as we study the Bible, review historic Christian confessions, and examine Reformed theology to build a solid foundation. Terry’s simple style makes it easy to understand. This will help soften your heart, and your love and de

  8. 95 - Christ Will Build His Church

  19. 84 - Bible Survey - Genesis 15 and 16

  25. 78 - Bible Survey - Genesis 1 and 2

  30. 73 - Sharing the Gospel Is Not That Difficult

  33. 70 - New Testament Verses on Forgiveness

    Adam was our representative in the Garden of Eden. So when he sinned, we sinned. Therefore, in him we are guilty of violating the holy law of God.

  34. 69 - 11+ Verses on Which to Meditate

    Christian meditation is a biblical practice. Just look at Psalm 1. However, Christian meditation isn't the same thing as eastern meditation. It's not mindfulness or removing conscious thoughts. It's not focusing on your breathing or calming yourself. In Christian meditation, you think constantly...

  39. 64 - David’s Confession of Sin - A Review of Psalm 51

    Some elevate David as an example for us to follow. However, he is no more of an example of a godly man than you and me. He acted wickedly and committed heinous sins.

  40. 63 - Why the Three Marks of the Church Matter

    Did you you know that not every church is a true church? Did you know there's a way to distinguish between a true church and a false church? Every true church has several distinguishing features.

  44. 59 - The Surprising Twist of the Pharisee and Tax Collector

    Jesus shocked His audience when He told a simple parable about a Pharisee and a tax collector.

Like Jesus' audience many people today don't really understand how a person is...

  45. 58 - The Person and Work of the Holy Spirit

    It seems some churches have limited the Holy Spirit to spiritual gifts. However, Peter tells us that the Holy Spirit is far more involved in God's work of salvation and sanctification than simply giving spiritual gifts. He is a key agent in the work of salvation and sanctification. In this…
