The Golden Rule, Dr. Patrick Ramsey

17 Mar 2021 Michael A

Dr. Ramsey just finished preaching through the 10 commandments from Deuteronomy 5; this sermon is a capstone of sorts to that series. In other words, he talks about the golden rule in terms of the 10 commandments; he also tied in other significant passages of scripture such as Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount; and Jesus’ words in Matthew 22:37ff – when He talked about loving God and ones neighbor.
He began by talking about what the golden rule is not; and how not to use it. Then Dr. Ramsey talked about how social relationships flourish when people follow the golden rule and why that is so.

The Baha’i Faith and Christian Denominations Who Combine The Law and The Gospel To Create A Way Of Salvation ERR Fatally

15 Mar 2021 Michael A

This post uses scripture from Galatians to show that there is only one way of salvation, faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. The Baha’i Faith, and many Christian denominations mix the law and the gospel to create a way that does not lead to salvation; blending elements of the biblical system of law with the new covenant gospel way of faith creates a false way that leads only to damnation. Even though the apostle Paul used many words in Romans, Galatians and elsewhere to clarify this very important matter, many still err. Paul undoubtedly spent so much time on this matter because pride moves us all to think we can make our own way to God.

Isaiah 5-6 “The Man for a National Crisis” – Dr. John MacArthur

15 Mar 2021 Michael A

In the following sermon by Dr. MacArthur, he compares the current state of our nation to that of Israel, as portrayed by Isaiah in chapters 5 and 6 of his prophecy. Dr. MacArthur used many scriptures in his portrayal of nations under judgment by God, including Romans 1; Isaiah 1; 14; 66; Matthew 13; Mark 4; Luke 8; John 12; Acts 28; Psalm 81. In Isaiah 5, the prophet pronounced 5 woes for: 1, excessive materialism; 2, for drunken pleasure seeking; 3, for having no knowledge of God; 4, for defiant sinfulness, for blatantly displaying their sins; and 5, the arrogance and conceit of the leaders – they declared evil good and good evil…. His message ultimately stated that there is no hope for our nation, but there is hope of individual salvation, of those elect; believers need to be preaching correctly about the state of affairs in God’s world.

Huckabee, On The Evangelicals Open Letter To Biden About Abortion

14 Mar 2021 Michael A

I consider Huckabee to be a reasonable voice when it comes to news, especially regarding politics. His take on the evangelicals for Biden is similar to that of the Epoch Times, which I posted earlier this week.
If you are a professed Christian that cares about the abortion issue, then please spend 5 minutes listening to Huckabee on the matter:

Eating Honey Out of a Dead Carcass: Victory Family Church

13 Mar 2021 Michael A

John Nuzzo is the senior pastor of Victory Family Church; he preached this sermon to God’s people who are trapped in rage, anger, bitterness…as a result of the political and social situation the US is presently experiencing. His sermon began on a political note, but quickly turned to the Bible to provide a diagnosis and a cure for God’s people who are trapped in bitterness…

Allie Beth Stuckey, Relatable podcast topics: Dr. J. MacArthur’s comments on religious liberty; Beth Moore Leaving SBC; IF Gathering

11 Mar 2021 Michael A

Allie Beth Stuckey podcast: [from YouTube site] first, we discuss recent comments made by John MacArthur about religious freedom. Is it right to fight for the religious liberty of those who hate you? Then, we briefly address Beth Moore leaving the Southern Baptist Convention. She’s been a controversial figure in the SBC for some time, and it seems they will be parting ways. And, it was disappointing to see elements of critical race theory and other aspects of leftist social justice creeping into IF Gathering, a conference for Christian women.

Arizona and Montana Take Legal Action Against Biden Admin ICE Arrest Regulations: Epoch Times

10 Mar 2021 Michael A

“If asked about the poorest policy choice I’ve ever seen in government, this would be a strong contender,” Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich said in a statement. “Blindly releasing thousands of people, including convicted criminals and those who may be spreading COVID-19 into our state, is both unconscionable and a violation of federal law. This must be stopped now to avoid a dangerous humanitarian crisis for the immigrants and the people of Arizona.” …Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen joined Brnovich in the lawsuit. Both filed for a preliminary injunction aiming to block the regulations from going into effect. “Meth trafficked into Montana by Mexican drug cartels has wracked our state. The problem will only be made worse if the Biden administration continues to allow criminals to stay in the country,” Knudsen stated. “Enforcing our immigration laws and helping to keep Americans safe is one of the federal government’s most important functions. The Biden administration is failing its basic responsibility to Americans.”

Concealed Carry Holder, 69, Defends Himself Against 3 Alleged Robbers in Chicago, Shoots One: Epoch Times

10 Mar 2021 Michael A

A 69-year-old concealed carry permit holder was able to defend himself from three alleged armed robbers in Chicago, officials said. One of the robbers was shot by the victim. Police in Chicago said that three suspects approached the victim on Tuesday and told him to hand over his belongings. The man then pulled out his gun, which he has a permit to carry in a concealed manner, and fired a shot at one of the suspects. …According to a report from the conservative Heritage Foundation, citing data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), “Almost all national studies of defensive gun uses have found that firearms are used in self-defense between 500,000 and 3 million times every year in the United States.”

US Firms Are Profiting From Uyghur Forced Labor: Expert: Epoch Times

10 Mar 2021 Michael A

“Its persecution of Uyghurs is just one more example from a long and egregious history of religious persecution of many other religious groups, including Protestant and Catholic Christians, Falun Gong practitioners, and Tibetan Buddhists,” said Bauer, who was chief domestic policy adviser to President Ronald Reagan. “Quite frankly, I’d like to know how American corporations can morally justify investing in communist China at all. By doing so, they contribute to making more powerful a nation controlled by a repressive regime that has literally declared war on all people of faith.”
