Pennsylvania court rules to protect parents’ fundamental rights – Alliance Defending Freedom

This post is related to the last post, it is about the defense of the three women who filed suit against the teacher who taught gender ideology to their 6 year olds. In the last post, there are other links about this case also. The last will be linked at the very bottom of this post. Quote from article: “A teacher instructing first-graders and reading books to show that their parents’ beliefs about their children’s gender identity may be wrong directly repudiates parental authority,” the court wrote in its opinion. “The heart of parental authority on matters of the greatest importance within their own family is undermined when a teacher tells first-graders their parents may be wrong about whether the student is a boy or a girl.”

Daniel 9 and the Secret Rapture (Remastered) – Martyn Lloyd-Jones

In this sermon, Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones focuses on Daniel 9 as a passage frequently used in the discussion of the end-times, yet the language it employs is often mysterious and open to debate over its meaning…. Dr. Lloyd-Jones also provides a commentary on a topic that has been steadily gaining traction in evangelical circles: the rapture of Christians. He posits that many people are surprised to learn that this theological idea is not commonly found until after the 1800s. How should Christians approach this topic? Listen to this sermon as Dr. Lloyd-Jones provides an alternative view of Daniel 9, and a biblical foundation for understanding the idea of an end-times rapture of the global church.

The Intermediate State – Martyn Lloyd-Jones

What happens between death and the final resurrection, the so-called “intermediate state”?
The sermon of this post is from MLJTrust, they described it as follows: In this sermon on “The Intermediate State,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones presents and explains several views on the intermediate state. Some propose that souls sleep until Jesus comes again; some argue that the dead reside in Abraham’s bosom or a place of suffering until the final judgment; others argue that only those who have eternal life with God will even exist eternally, a view called conditional mortality. But what does the Bible say? Dr. Lloyd-Jones presents a biblical case for why both believers and unbelievers will live eternally, either with God or apart from Him forever in suffering.

The Lord’s Supper – Martyn Lloyd-Jones

The sermon in this post is by Martyn Lloyd-Jones, and is on the sacrament of the Lord’s Supper. MLJTrust provided a sermon description and breakdown. That may be sufficient for some, but I encourage you to hear the sermon.  His teachings are biblical and he presented his material in a manner that makes it very understandable. Knowing God’s intention in these sacraments and how they are signs and seals will certainly enrich your walk with the Lord. [He spent some time explaining how the idea of the Roman Catholic Church, transubstantiation, is not biblical.]

The Sacrament of Baptism – Martyn Lloyd-Jones

What is the purpose of baptism? Why did Jesus teach baptism after someone is saved? In this sermon on the sacrament of baptism (the second sermon in his series on the sacraments of the church), Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones walks through a topic sometimes debated even amongst believers. Baptism’s meaning, he says, is an outward illustration of the inward cleansing from the pollution of sin. Its purpose is not to cleanse from sin and regenerate because that would mean that people are saved through the work of baptism, something that Scripture clearly denies. So, what does it accomplish? Baptism serves as a sign and seal of one’s justification and remission of sins. And yet, he says, not everyone is eligible to be baptized. This teaching runs counter to the Catholic teaching on baptism….
