London’s Metropolitan Police recently paid a $13,100 settlement to a Christian street preacher they arrested after her preaching angered a Muslim mob — the second such settlement the bobbies have paid her in two years. Hatun Tash, a former Muslim, “regularly critiques and debates the Qur’an and Islam at Speakers’ Corner,” a section of Hyde Park set aside for free speech and demonstrations…. Tash, director of the ministry Defend Christ Critique Islam (DCCI), has a YouTube channel with almost 700,000 subscribers. She claims to have seen “over 1,000 ex-Muslims” become Christians in Great Britain and to be “discipling many people” around the world.

An Encounter With God – Martyn Lloyd-Jones
This post contains a sermon by Martyn Lloyd-Jones from MLJTrust: “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?” With this question, the notorious persecutor Saul had a face to face encounter with Jesus. Listen as Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones recounts this divine confrontation that transformed an enemy of the cross into a child of God. When culture screams for autonomy from God, the grace of God rips away the mask of cultural Christianity. Now, as one who is forgiven and at peace with our Savior, the Christian learns to be silent, to listen and to submit to Christ’s will. No one is saved as a family or a nation, but only an individual can be spared from the wrath of God by the conviction of sin and the forgiveness of the Savior.
Millions of Christians Not Planning to Vote – American Faith
This post contains an article from American Faith: Millions of Christians in the United States have indicated that they will not vote in the upcoming presidential election, according to a study released by the Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University. Many of the people interviewed for the study (79%) identify as “people of faith,” meaning they consider themselves part of the Christian, Jewish, Mormon, or Islamic faiths. Only slightly more than one-half (51%) of this demographic said they are likely to vote in the upcoming presidential election…. [If you know any such Christians as are described in this post, please encourage them to vote, as not doing so could ensure that we become a communist nation very soon.]
GTY Responds to Steve Lawson Situation – Truth Transforms
There are two videos in this post, the first cites the words of Phil Johnson, of GTY, on the Lawson incident, also an older article written by John MacArthur on the topic of fallen pastors. The second video is by Pastor Matthew Everhard that deals with the topic of fallen pastors.
Pastor Steve Lawson Has Been Removed from Ministry – BTWN News
I sampled several videos about Pastor Lawson’s removal from Ministry. Of those videos, the following one presented the event with respect and rationality. He defined several words and helped me to have a better understanding of the facts that Lawson’s church had released. As I listened to BTWN New’s presentation, I noticed that I had jumped to conclusions at the news. You might discover some of that in your own interpretation?
WE WILL NOT BOW – John MacArthur
In 2015, the Supreme Court foisted a great injustice on the American people: the legalization of homosexual marriage. The result has been a head-on collision of biblical truth and social norms. In the eyes of the world, telling the truth about homosexuality is officially hateful and bigoted. It may even come with legal consequences. Some Christians responded by bending to the culture’s pressure campaign and softening their views on homosexuality in the name of tolerance. …True believers do not have the liberty to withhold biblical truth because it has become unpopular.
How to Have Strong Faith – Charles Spurgeon Devotional – “Morning and Evening”
The 2-minute C H Spurgeon devotional of this post has a lot to say about trials, offering thoughts to consider that will provide stability in the midst of a turbulence; and to refocus one on what truly matters.
BLM (Blatant Lies Multiplied) | Timothy Brindle – Wrath and Grace – Voddie Baucham
This post contains two very short videos, the first is a song about BLM; the second, a one-minute statement confronting Cultural Marxism with Christian truth. These videos came from Dr. Voddie Baucham’s YouTube site, Wrath and Grace. The song is by Hip Hop artist, Timothy Brindle who is also a pastor. The Christian doctrine in his music is always thoroughly biblical. His other music contains themes that remind me of John Newton’s hymns.
The Modern Philistine – by Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones
…“The essence of wisdom for the church at a time like this is to look back into her own history.” When she does this, what will she find? She will find that no revival has ever been known in history that denied the fundamentals of the Christian faith or neglected such vital truths. These truths are constantly buried by “the rubbish of the Philistines.” Dr. Lloyd-Jones explains the vital truths and doctrines denied by the Philistines: the sovereignty of God, the authority of the Bible, the doctrine of sin, and the wrath of God. 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.
