Give Sin a Name: Things Unseen with Sinclair B Ferguson

20 Jan 2024 Michael A

Pastor Sinclair Ferguson began a new podcast titled, Things Unseen in 2024. Each episode is 4-6 minutes in length. This post contains the episode of 1-19-24 and a link to the other 14 messages he has thus far aired. I got my post of yesterday, John Newton’s hymn, via a reference he made to search the hymn. Ferguson’s most recent several podcasts have been about character types of Christians that Newton identified in a little book he wrote. Each character flaw will remind you of Christians you are in the midst of, perhaps, yourself. Ferguson’s purpose seems to help Christians identify their own flaws for future prayer….

O Sacred Head Now Wounded – Ginger Millermon – Lyrics

1 Nov 2023 Michael A

I found the following song while I was searching the video page of a new YouTube site, StrangeLyrics. I was deeply moved by the lyrics, vocals and guitar; this is a wonderful song for preparing one’s heart to pray and read God’s word. The site has over 350 videos seemingly consisting of hymns and contemporary Christian music. If you like to sing along with Christian music, check out the site.

A Call to Remember – Alistair Begg on Ecclesiastes 12

19 Oct 2023 Michael A

This post contains a 20-minute sermon and the transcript from Alistair Begg. He apparently addressed the sermon to college youth. I heard it today before church and thought it to be an excellent sermon that has a lot to say to all age groups, especially the elderly like myself. It is based on Ecclesiastes 12.

The Holy Spirit Fruit of Love – Types of Love Defined – Mini Series part 3

8 Sep 2023 Michael A

This post contains an article and a video on the three types of biblical love. The article originated at Explore The Bible, Lifeway; and the video, from the Word of Grace ministry of the late Dr. Duane Spencer. If you only have a couple of minutes to spend, then the article will suffice; if you want to understand love as it is revealed in the events of scripture and as it is happening in the world around you, then hear the video. Dr. Spencer’s video thoroughly explains love. His Key Word Studies were intended to provide rich biblical understanding to his audience.

The Fruit of the Holy Spirit – Love – Mini Series Part 1

6 Sep 2023 Michael A

This first of three posts on love is about verse biblical love as in the following verse: Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. This article takes scripture from the entire Bible about love, and marriage. The next post will be a sermon specifically about the Galatians verse above; and the third post, on the three types of love discussed in the Bible.

26 Jul 2023 Michael A

This post contains comments on Psalm 37:1-6 from Matthew Henry’s Commentary on the Whole Bible. While I was reading this morning, I reviewed several commentaries on this passage and thought it very worthy of posting. The next couple of posts will also be about verses from this passage.

Morning and Evening Thoughts for July 25 – C H Spurgeon

25 Jul 2023 Michael A

Today, Spurgeon’s first meditation was about dealing with temptations to lust; his second, about dealing with afflictions in life that God sends believers; and why He sends them. This post contains a link to a post on Jonathan Edwards, therein, necessary information about how Edwards was able to live an obedient life is noted; born-again believers must come to the same realizations he came to, before obedience is possible

Morning and Evening Thoughts by C H Spurgeon for July 19

19 Jul 2023 Michael A

Today, Spurgeon’s morning and evening thoughts are about God’s purpose for sending affliction into the believer’s life. If you have been feeling discouraged by hardships and your own failures in your Christian walk, then you could easily find encouragement in his words. You might be more inclined to seek Christ out in His word and prayer, than avoiding Him because of a sense of failure (which seems to mostly be about self-reliance, which God is working to eradicate via affliction).
