Trans Movement and Christianity: The Root Cause of Enmity

21 Apr 2023 Michael A

In the 12-minute video of this post, vlogger, Colin Miller discusses Tucker Carlson’s statements about the Nashville shooting of 6 Christians by a trans person. Tucker’s assessment of the conflict that exists between the trans movement and Christians was spot on; Miller merely added to it and framed it in a biblical manner. This video is being posted because it is how biblical Christians need to see the problem; then they will have to admit that there is a conflict and can begin considering strategies.

They Put A “Christian Transgender” on MSNBC

The following video is from the YouTube site, Fight For Truth. I’m posting the video because his assessment is biblical and Christians need to hear some straight talk on the matter.

Truth About The Asbury Revival

18 Apr 2023 Michael A

This post contains a 15-minute video, a careful biblical critique of the Asbury revival. I was curious about the event myself and appreciated all the sources he used in drawing conclusions about this event. I listed several points about the peripheral benefits of listening to his video; points which touch the purpose of this blog.

Kenneth Steward Sermon – Troubled Waters

16 Apr 2023 Michael A

Pastor Stewart’s sermon is on the following text, which he called the most meaningful in the entire Bible regarding practical living of the Christian life; he made the lesson Christ taught His apostles clear for us: Matthew 14:30 But seeing the wind, he became frightened, and when he began to sink, he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!” 31 Immediately Jesus reached out with His hand and took hold of him, and *said to him, “You of little faith, why did you doubt?” 32 When they got into the boat, the wind stopped.

C H Spurgeon’s Morning and Evening Thoughts for April 12

12 Apr 2023 Michael A

Spurgeon’s morning thoughts were on, “My heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.” — Psa_22:14; and his evening thoughts, on: “The king’s garden.” — Neh_3:15. And it goes without saying that the writing is full of meaningful, poetic metaphors; the pictures of which increase insight. [I discovered his thoughts when I went to E-sword Bible software to get some scripture for tomorrows post, and was happy to see that today’s thoughts prepare the way to hear tomorrow’s post, even though each stand alone.]

Psalm 9 and the Antithesis – Pastor Patrick Hines Podcast

7 Apr 2023 Michael A

My last three posts are about events that are presently unfolding in our society; the two posts on Curtis Bowers’ Agenda Weekly, touched on the topic of the Nashville shooting by identifying underlying factors. This post explains the “antitheses” more specifically, using Psalm 9. An overview and some discussion points are precede his podcast.

C H Spurgeon’s Morning and Evening Thoughts for April 6

6 Apr 2023 Michael A

Spurgeon’s devotional, Morning and Evening, is very relevant to my last 3 posts and to the one I am working on for tomorrow, so I am posting it now. His perspective is biblical, but different from the others; therein you might also see the timeless relevance of God’s truth, as Spurgeon died over a century ago: his words are a call to Christians right now, today. I certainly needed to hear them, I hope you benefit from reading them also.

Just Like Abraham – Pastor Patrick Ramsey

3 Apr 2023 Michael A

The sermon in this post by Pastor Ramsey, examines Paul’s arguments for justification by faith in Galatians 3: 6-9. Understanding this material is foundational to your Christian walk, particularly because the doctrines in this text are largely misunderstood by the contemporary church. To put it differently, if you do not understand the contents of this portion of scripture, then you will not be able to identify when you are committing the spiritually fatal error of seeking to be made right with God by works, instead of by faith. Pastor Ramsey clearly presents Paul’s arguments; thereby arming readers to more easily see their own errors; to throw off such idolatry, via depending upon the Lord in prayer….

2 Apr 2023 Michael A

This post contains one verse of scripture, Proverbs 1:7 and the comments of 6 Bible commentators: John MacArthur; John Gill; F B Meyer; Albert Barnes; Joseph Benson and Matthew Henry. This is a foundational verse in the Bible, so it is worth the effort required to know what it means.

1 Apr 2023 Michael A

This post contains the evening thoughts from C H Spurgeon’s commentary, Morning and Evening Thoughts, for April 1st. They are on a verse from Hosea: “It is time to seek the Lord.” — Hosea 10:12. They go well with the verse and commentary from Proverbs that I have planned for tomorrow.
