How can I be victorious over my fear of sharing my faith? With Ray Comfort – Podcast Episode 203

24 Apr 2024 Michael A

This post contains the video of the Got Questions Podcast of today; it is an interview with Ray Comfort of Living Waters Ministries. He answered questions about how he shares the gospel. His major strategy, which I’d never discerned from watching his videos, is that he directs his questions at the conscience of the person with whom he is interacting; and avoids questions that engage the carnal mind: he explained that clearly in the video. If you have fear about witnessing or you just lack strategies, then you could benefit from hearing this podcast. Highlight points are below the video

Faith Is Like a Muscle and Needs to Be Exercised – Pastor Colin Smith

23 Apr 2024 Michael A

I am preparing a post on backsliding that mentions ‘exercising faith’ and thought I would post this article beforehand. Pastor Colin Smith explains that it is not enough to just possess faith, as those who are born again possess. One must learn to exercise it. He explains what that means. Extremely valuable information to all Christians that may not have looked into the matter; as exercising it is necessary in the Christian fight of faith.

Getting the Message Out – Matthew 28:18-20 – Pastor Philip Ryken

8 Mar 2024 Michael A

The video of this post is about your role in the great commission. Even as this world seems to be unraveling before our eyes, Christians must be most focused on doing Christ’s work. Please listen and get encouragement to seek God’s help that you might be brought into line with God’s purposes for you in His world. Pastor Philip Ryken makes Jesus’ words from Matthew 28:18 a personal directive.

UN-BIBLICAL PREACHING ILLUSTRATED: Steven Furtick – Revives “Little gods” Doctrine….

26 Feb 2024 Michael A

My last post illustrated biblical preaching that glorifies God and edifies the sheep of God; it used a video of a Voddie Baucham sermon: the World, the Flesh and the Devil. The videos in this post, sermons by Steven Furtick, illustrate preaching that blasphemes God and leads God’s sheep far astray. This two-part mini-series came out of a question a reader asked me regarding the nature of biblical preaching and its opposite. Each of these two posts list THREE POINTS that help listeners determine whether a sermon is from a biblical preacher or a counterfeit preacher.

BIBLICAL SERMON ILLUSTRATED: Pastor Voddie Baucham – The World the Devil and the Flesh

25 Feb 2024 Michael A

I recently received a question from a reader who was confused about how to discern biblical from un-biblical preaching / preachers. This post aims at helping such readers. Seasoned Christians who believe in the doctrines that come from the Protestant Reformation, know that Dr. Voddie Baucham is a great preacher. Nate Sala, the creator of this video looks carefully at Baucham’s sermon to show just why that is so. Listeners will gain in two ways from hearing the video of this post: they will hear a biblically sound sermon and get some insight into Baucham’s purposes (and the purposes of biblical preachers); furthermore, they will get a 3-point tool by which they can measure preaching they hear, at their church and elsewhere.

The Fruit of the Spirit – Pastor Sinclair Ferguson

12 Feb 2024 Michael A

The fruit of the Spirit cannot be artificially produced. These qualities must be developed in us by God’s grace. Today, Sinclair Ferguson considers the Lord’s purpose of growing His people in a wonderfully balanced way to make us increasingly like Christ. [Highlight points are provided after video.]

Dying We Live – Pastor James Boice

8 Feb 2024 Michael A

In this sermon, Dr. Boice delves into the paradox that as a Christian, we must die in order to live. His sermon text was Romans 12:1 I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. [Dr. James Boice was a contemporary and a friend of R C Sproul; they were born in the late 1930’s; Boice died of cancer in 2000, 17 years before Sproul.]

What does it mean to trust in Jesus? – Got Questions dot org

3 Feb 2024 Michael A

This brief article from Got Questions Ministries gives a thorough answer to what it means to ‘trust in Jesus.’ I am certain that if you are answering that question with your own reason, that you have answered in an incomplete way. Furthermore, most ideas about Christianity that are floating around in the social sphere are very wrong. Just read through the Bible and you will begin to see that. Mainstream, seeker friendly churches also err greatly. So, please spend 5 minutes of your time and get the correct answer.

James 1: 2-11 – Trials – Pastor Patrick Ramsey

17 Jan 2024 Michael A

This post contains a sermon from James 1: 2-11 on God’s purpose in sending trials and how to deal with them such that you might begin to know Christian maturity, fullness… being made perfect. Since all Christians will encounter trials from God to grow their faith, it is critical that you know how to go through these trials; upon what you should focus and why that ought to be your focus. This sermon makes those things very clear.

Proclaiming The Gospel (to Roman Catholics) – Mike Gendron

7 Jan 2024 Michael A

It has been said that the Gospel is so simple that a young child can hear it, understand it and believe it, yet so profound that a theologian can spend a lifetime studying its glorious transcendent truths. It is the greatest news anyone will ever hear because it offers a free and complete salvation from the punishment and power of sin, and a glorious inheritance in the everlasting kingdom of God awaits all believers. Topics of the gospel cards: God; Man; Sin; Jesus Christ; the cross; resurrection; salvation; grace; faith; repentance; righteousness; truth.
