About Us

Josh Etter, Fred Eaton and Bart Byl are three brothers in Christ whose friendship is rooted in the gospel.

All three are members of Crossway Community Church in Surrey, BC, where Fred serves on the pastoral team. Crossway is part of the Sovereign Grace family of churches.

We’ve all spent far too much time looking inward instead of upward (Col 3:1), only to futility and despair. This blog was born out of our own need to live each day in the good of the gospel.

    Love your site! This gives me much to chew on as I prepare my own blog to spur on Christians to live missionally and spread the gospel to the ends of the earth.

    Keep spreading the Fame of Jesus,
    Ken

    Your blog makes the WWW worthwhile. I struggle to think of better uses of technology than First Importance. I thank God for y’all in bringing First Importance into existence.

    Thanks so much for this blog. I have it emailed to me every morning. What a great way to start the day! You help me preach the gospel to my heart and the hearts of others. Thank you. Thanks be to God.

    Your daily gospel meditations help me to obey the command of Scripture: “Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly” (Col 3:16), in which it seems that the “Word of Christ” (like in Rom 10) is not a general referene to Scripture, but a specific reference to the Gospel.

    This “gospel dwelling richly” also seems to be the primary means for “being filled with the Spirit” (cf Eph 5:18, the parallel passage).

    Which leads us to the “coup de grace”:

    Gal 5:16 “But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh.”

    God bless your efforts!
