I listened to the following sermon a few times over the past week because Spurgeon described the thorny soil of the heart so well. For some reason, I have never read commentaries on this section of scripture even though I have believed it to describe my own heart. In hearing Spurgeon’s specific description of that type of soil from Christ’s parable, I experienced conviction of sin. Highlight points are noted for the initial 24 minutes of this 48-minute sermon. Please take a few moments and read the highlights, you may be moved to hear the entire sermon

As A Man Thinketh In His Heart….
This post contains a 13-minute mp4 of the Late Dr. Robert A. Cook’s broadcast, Walk With The King. Today, he talked about thoughts, prayer and the Christian walk. I was impacted by his message and spent time thinking and praying on the matter. After the message, there are scriptures related to the message from throughout the Bible, for those who would like to know more about what the Bible says about thoughts.
A Picture Of Repentance – Voddie Baucham Sermon Excerpt
This post contains a 14-minute sermon excerpt of Matthew 7:13 and 14 by Voddie Baucham. He describes the narrow gate and hard way very clearly; he also provided a clear biblical picture of repentance. If you were saved via the sinner’s prayer, then you will be shocked. There are a few other pastors in our time that describe these things similarly, John MacArthur and Paul Washer for example. I chose to excerpt this brief section from his 72-minute sermon for that picture of repentance, as I believe it is rarely preached in the church of our day. If you want to understand just what the way of life that Christ described in Matthew 7 looks like, then please listen to this excerpt. The last 3 minutes are a closing prayer. Baucham’s entire sermon is also posted for those who might like to hear it. I listened to it several times over the past week; it is worthy of book marking and returning to until it is digested

Jared Kushner Addresses FBI Raid on Trump Home for First Time – Epoch Times
Former White House adviser Jared Kushner gave his first interview following the FBI raid targeting the home of his father-in-law, former President Donald Trump, on Sunday night…. “But what’s happening now is the same thing being done by the same people in the same way,” Kushner said, “they’re leaking to the same sources, they’re manufacturing fabulous claims that then get debunked shortly thereafter.” Kushner said: “It is giving a lot of people who want to believe in the fairness of the judicial system and our democracy a lot of pause and concern.”
We Have Been Deceived To Follow Our Heart – Dr Voddie Baucham
Pastor Voddie Baucham compares the myths of Greco-Roman romantic love to biblical love. While his focus was on warning single men and women about the dangers of allowing themselves to become involved with non-believers, listeners will hear a definition of romantic love and of biblical love along with examples of each. This message is worth hearing for singles and for married Christian people, as Christ would have us love our spouses as He loves His church.

Fentanyl deaths due to overdose have increased by 97 percent since 2019 in Wisconsin, the state’s health department announced in an advisory to warn residents about drugs laced with synthetic substances, especially fentanyl…. Wisconsin’s announcement comes amid news that seizures of fentanyl at the southern U.S. border increased by over 200 percent in July.
