Am I Right With God – Pastor Patrick Hines

2 Mar 2023 Michael A

The 1-minute video of this post provides foundational biblical information via which one can assess his walk with God; that is, are you coming by faith or by works. Many Christians are coming to God via works and will end in hell. This is a follow-up post to the most recent post by Pastor Ramsey on Faith. There are links herein, to hear Ramsey’s sermons on Faith and Works; also links to Hines’ and Ramsey’s Sermon Audio sermon pages. I noticed that Pastor Hines also has some very relevant recent sermons on this topic.

By Faith – Galatians 2:15-21 – Pastor Patrick Ramsey

1 Mar 2023 Michael A

The following points are from Pastor Ramsey’s sermon conclusion: We are justified by faith in Christ Jesus; and FAITH does not merely believe some facts / truths about Jesus. Faith is trusting Him and depending on Him to save you By MEANS of His Death and Resurrection; and Faith UNITES the believer to Jesus. “IN HIM” we are made right with God. Thus, we are JUSTIFIED by FAITH; and we are JUSTIFIED ‘IN CHRIST.’ In Athens, Paul declared that God had fixed a day in which He will judge the world [see Acts 17]. How might you be found righteous before God [be justified] on that DAY? By FAITH in Jesus Christ because: John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. [The contents of this sermon clearly explain why John 14:6 is true]

Morning and Evening by C H Spurgeon for February 28 [BY FAITH, Part 1 of 2]

28 Feb 2023 Michael A

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

27 Feb 2023 Michael A

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

25 Feb 2023 Michael A

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. Beliefs require more than superficial connection to biblical faith to be truly “Christian,” just as vague similarities between two ideas do not make them equivalent. Such distinctions are often lost in the exaggeration and melodrama of modern communication. It’s common to attack opposing views using the most provocative language possible. Terms like communist, hate, radical, racist, fascist, supremacist, and traitor are applied to views that don’t reasonably fit those definitions. Nationalism falls into this category, at times.

A Study Of Selected Verses From Proverbs 5 and 7

24 Feb 2023 Michael A

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

23 Feb 2023 Michael A

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…

The insights in this 15 minute reading of a work by J R Miller, will give readers much to consider regarding their relationship struggles. It is worthy of careful consideration and several hearings, maybe notations… as this is biblical instruction.

The Normalization of God-Hating Is REAL – Good Fight Ministries – Paganism, Part 47

21 Feb 2023 Michael A

Good Fight Ministries: The song Unholy performed by Sam Smith at the 2023 Grammys tells the tragic story of a father/husband walking outside of the marriage covenant and into adultery. Kim Petras, the singer alongside Sam Smith, tells the media why it was they decided on such a twisted display. Why is it that this and so many of the popular performances today are so wickedly themed?
