The Modern Philistine – by Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones

Revival cannot happen without the proclamation of these truths. It is with arrogance, pride, and the tendency to glorify oneself rather than God that stands between us and His mighty blessings of revival.

In the process, he explained what the reformers meant when they called believers to ‘improve’ their baptism.

Hearing him talk about his ministry, current plans and some remarks about the past, was very moving for me. God truly has worked mightily through him.]

Franklin Graham Blasts ‘Evangelicals for Harris’

The article in this post was copied and pasted from American Faith. One statement in the article was from X, it noted that those evangelicals that are for Harris are apostate…. [Harris is a Marxist leftist democrat; Marxism sees the state as being ‘god’ and basically mocks the God of the Bible; so statements in the article about her affiliation with Christianity cannot be taken seriously by anyone who understands these things about her and her chosen running mate.]
