I was about to type the points for Pastor Ramsey’s sermon, “BY FAITH,” and as I opened my E-sword Bible program, this devotional appeared as usual. Today, it happened to be about faith, so I thought I would post it too, before I post his sermon, as I have yet to type the points. Spurgeon’s two separate messages emphasized biblical faith, Pastor Ramsey’s sermon, the next post, describes, clarifies, emphasizes… the role of faith in the Christian life.

What is Christian dominionism? From Got Questions dot Org
Christian Dominionists believe that God desires Christians to rise to power through civil systems so that His Word might then govern the nation. The belief that “America is a Christian nation” is sometimes called “soft dominionism”; the idea that God wants only Christians to hold government office and run the country according to biblical law is called “hard dominionism.” Dominion theology’s beliefs are based on Genesis 1:28, which says, “Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over….
WHAT IS CHRISTIAN NATIONALISM? From Got Questions Dot Org
Christian nationalism is most often employed as a derogatory term. It is crucial to realize that labels can be unfairly used to trigger an emotional response.

A Study Of Selected Verses From Proverbs 5 and 7
In Proverbs 5:5 and 6, Solomon talked about how the harlot leads one from the path of life – she has no concern for it, and will lead you from it by her wiles; and in Proverbs 7, he made a statement that she will lead a man down the path to death like an ox is led to the slaughter – he doesn’t know he is going to his death…. Some excerpts from commentaries are used to give significance and clarification to these verses and a couple from Hosea
Why Should We Believe The Bible? Mike Gendron
Not too long ago this question was only being asked by non-Christians. Today, the question is also being asked by professing Christians who are caught up in postmodernism. They say the Bible cannot be the objective truth because truth is subjective. Everyone is entitled to their own truth. Skeptics say truth can no longer be known with certainty. How would you respond to these assertions? Or how would you respond to someone who chooses to believe their religious teachings instead of the Bible? [He provided 10 reasons.] Also included: an ecumenical conference at SBC church with Roman Catholics; Pope Francis stated that to proselytize was a Pagan activity…
