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

What is typology? How can we use it responsibly in Bible study? [Part 6]

22 Apr 2024 Michael A

This post contains a 5-minute video on typology and an edited blog post about the video, also by Ligonier. This is another post in my mini-series on connections between the Old and New Testaments. Among the comments Sinclair Ferguson makes, he talks about the Old Testament believers who were saved by looking forward to Christ, by grace; just as New Testament believers are saved.

What is Dispensationalism? [Part 5]

17 Apr 2024 Michael A

This post attempts to show the connectedness of the Old and New Testaments by explaining the unbiblical theology of Dispensationalism originated by John Nelson Darby (1800-1882). The writer explains how it was thereafter propagated, such that, in America, it became a chief lens via which the Bible was interpreted; but that it contradicts the apostle Paul’s teaching.

The Covenant – R C Sproul – [Part 4]

16 Apr 2024 Michael A

There is a war on God’s Word from both within and outside the church, and doubts about the trustworthiness of God’s word arise in the hearts of the faithful. How can we be sure God will do all He has promised? Dr. Sproul examines this thought as he explains what measures God has taken to ensure His promises to us.

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.

The Article on Which the Church Stands or Falls – R C Sproul

8 Apr 2024 Michael A

Was the Reformation debate over justification by faith alone a tempest in a teapot? There are many today who think so, many who argue that the Reformation is over. In this message, Dr. R.C. Sproul will explain why the Reformers spoke of justification by faith alone as the article on which the church stands or falls, and why we are never to compromise on this essential truth of the Christian faith. This message is from our 2013 National Conference, No Compromise:

This post contains a 14-minute excerpt of Pastor Hines sermon on the 10th commandment; the whole sermon was also posted for those who might want to hear it. The excerpt is accompanied by highlight points. Pastor Hines message was built around biblical contentment; he closed by relating that to commandment 10.

The Wrath of God in Preaching – R C Sproul

5 Apr 2024 Michael A

This post features a sermon by R C Sproul on the Wrath of God in general. His sermon text is Leviticus 10, the Death of Nadab and Abihu for offering ‘strange fire’ before Yahweh. If your church is teaching you that the God of the Old Testament is the wrathful God and the God of the New Testament is all about grace, then you absolutely need to hear this sermon. A pastor actually spoke such words to me shortly after I was born again while reading through the Bible. There are many pastors who teach such error. Sproul says enough from the New Testament to confirm that the same God is the one present on the pages of both testaments; that is, that ‘God’s wrath’ is still a reality.

1 Corinthians 6:18 Flee fornication… sinneth against his own body

3 Apr 2024 Michael A

In my daily reading, 1 Cor. 4-7, I spent time reading commentaries on the following verse. I wanted some clarity about the underscored portion of the following verse. I read several commentaries from the e-Sword Bible app on my iPhone, two of those commentaries are pasted in below: Albert Barnes and Matthew Henry. Barnes treats only verse 18; Henry, 12-20 of 1 Cor. 6. Scripture pasted in for those who would like to review it before reading.
