John Newton Hymn – I Asked The Lord That I Might Grow – biblical critique by Vince Wright

27 Jun 2024 Michael A

This post contains a biblical critique on the John Newton hymn, I Asked The Lord That I Might Grow. The critique was copied and pasted from, The Berean Test (Vince Wright), which I discovered today as I was looking for lyrics to this hymn, set to music. I’d been listening to the hymn a lot lately and pondering its significance in light of spiritual growth, and was pleased to find a biblical critique of the hymn. Also, in this post is a link to the many contemporary songs Vince Wright has critiqued.

What is the purpose of the Mosaic Law? – Got Questions Ministries

18 Jun 2024 Michael A

Subjects such as this may seem a real bore to some Christians, but they provide fundamental understanding that can enable one to escape the clutches of many unbiblical teachers in our day. I am thinking chiefly of dispensationalism, which is unbiblical and based on the ideas of men. But there are more blatant forms of false teachings out there floating around in the contemporary church. Many are written on in this blog: the prosperity gospel; the mystical gospel; the gospels that have been adapted to CRT and LGBTQ. Other man-made gospels include the JW’s and the LDS versions…. If you read the Bible, then it will be made clear to you how these and other false systems err. Don’t be a victim of false Christian teaching; know what God says on the matter via His word.

Romans 12:21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good – Dr. James Boice

16 Jun 2024 Michael A

John Perkins, a black pastor in 1960’s Mississippi, was unjustly arrested and beaten unmercifully. He saw what hate can do to men, and–in response–Perkins chose to do the seemingly impossible. Join Dr. James Boice on The Bible Study Hour as we hear the pastor’s story and learn how–like him–we can fulfill the Apostle Paul’s directive to “overcome evil with good.” [Video description from YouTube] I have to say that the biblical fidelity of Boice’s sermon speaks to the unbiblical nature of CRT and other social movements that the 21st century church is drinking down that it might be found “relevant” in the eyes of the world…. Be a student of the Bible so that you are not led astray.

PENTECOST – Pastor Patrick Ramsey – [Part 11 – capstone of mini-series]

4 Jun 2024 Michael A

In the 27-minute Mp3 sermon of this post, Pastor Ramsey discusses Pentecost in terms of all the other one-time, unrepeatable events that preceded it; that is, it is the fulfillment of Old Testament promises and prophecies. In the process, he helps listeners see links between Old Testament prophecies and New Testament events. These are explained mostly via events and teaching from the book of Acts. [Highlights points of sermon are provided for those who would rather read]

Are There Few Who Are Saved? – J C Ryle

19 May 2024 Michael A

This post contains a video short and a full reading from chapter three, Few Saved. The reading is from J C Ryle’s book, Old Paths. He is thoroughly biblical. Modern evangelicalism, since the late 1800’s has been corrupted by many false movements. [For more on them see a link from this blog to page 11 of the category, Gospel Message. there are several examples of false systems.]

There are Not Two People of God: Israel and the Church [Part 8]

7 May 2024 Michael A

In the 8-minute 28-second sermon excerpt of this post, the late Pastor Eric Alexander explained how the Gentiles became incorporated into the people of God, Israel. Pastor Alexander defined the ‘MYSTERY’ that Paul discussed in Ephesians 3: the mystery is that God incorporated the Gentiles into ‘His people’ by UNITING them to His Son. This sermon will have more meaning if part 7 is also heard, a sermon on the Body of Christ from Romans 12 and Ephesians 4.

One Body in Christ – Pastor James Boice [Part 7]

6 May 2024 Michael A

Romans 12: 4-5 There’s no mention of the church in the Old Testament and in fact, the word church is used rather infrequently in the New Testament. But the word “body” on the other hand is used often because it reflects what the church really is. Join Dr. James Boice as he explores the true identity of the church on The Bible Study Hour. [Part 7 in my mini-series on the intimate relationship between the Old and New Testaments; highlight points follow the video.]

Sermon highlight points follow the sermon.

Jesus’ Teaching on Marriage and Gender – Things Unseen – Sinclair Ferguson

11 Apr 2024 Michael A

This post contains a 6-minute video by Pastor Sinclair Ferguson which clarifies Jesus’ teaching on gender and marriage. With all the confusion in the 21st century church, he is a voice of reason that stands with God, His word and His Messiah. You may do what you want, but there are consequences, as Ferguson indicated in the brief video. Also, as some recently tried to say about Ferguson and other evangelicals from across the pond, their compassion is actually in line with God’s, not with man’s.
