Here’s Why the Younger Generation Is ABANDONING God – Ken Ham

8 Jul 2023 Michael A

In the following 4-minute excerpt, Ken Ham explains why it is that the younger generation is leaving the church. His explanation is the best I’ve ever heard and you won’t hear it from any of the contemporary church leaders, they do not understand the problem. His illustration shows that the social problems we experience are the symptoms of the attacks Humanism has launched against God’s word…. That is, moral relativism, abortion, gay marriage… are symptoms of the real problem. Church leaders and politicians focus on the symptoms and believe they can change society by doing so, Ken Ham’s illustration demonstrates that our leaders are focused on changing the fruit; this problem will not change unless the root is dealt with.

This chapter talks about HOW to get wisdom and it describes how wisdom transforms those who possess it, from the inside out. It brings understanding and discernment; thereafter, one’s choices are better, more godly. God gives wisdom and that wisdom brings inner transformation. Important benefits: protection amid the threats of daily existence; and deliverance

C H Spurgeon’s Morning and Evening Thoughts June 28 – My Hope Is Built on Nothing Less

28 Jun 2023 Michael A

Below you will find Spurgeon’s morning thoughts followed by the hymn he cited as he closed those thoughts: My Hope Is Built on Nothing Less. The hymn is a video by Brian Cochran, he sings the song while playing guitar; lyrics are pasted in for those who might want to sing along. I find it easy to sing along with his songs, it is like being in church and singing along with the congregation. Spurgeon’s evening thoughts follow hymn and lyrics.

C H Spurgeon’s Morning and Evening Thoughts for June 27

27 Jun 2023 Michael A

Today, he emphasized two very common problems: compromise, in his morning thoughts; and calling in his evening thoughts. Since he was such an excellent biblical preacher, his words are very worth considering. As I read his morning thoughts, I thought of how the church is compromising with the CRT and LGBTQ movements; and of how liberalism has been an issue for over a hundred years, Spurgeon himself fought against it in his writings. His evening thoughts deal with callings, the common errors new converts make [an 11-minute MacArthur video on Spurgeon’s ‘downgrade controversy’ is linked]

Introducing Wisdom | Proverbs (1:1-7) – Pastor Kyle Johnston

20 Jun 2023 Michael A

This video is the first of 12 in a series: Study on the book of Proverbs, chapters 1-9. The videos range from 9-14 minutes in length, this is the longest video. I found the last video of this series because I wanted to blog on Proverbs 9 and after listening to it, I decided it would be beneficial to me and interested readers to blog the entire series for reasons that will become apparent in this video. Video highlight points precede this lesson. ADDITIONALLY, this post contains a reading from John Calvin’s Institutes of the Christian Religion to explain the necessity of a believer knowing who he/she is in relationship to God

Purity of Heart and Life – Charles Spurgeon Audio Devotionals (Matthew 5:8)

18 Jun 2023 Michael A

The two-minute devotional in this post is about purity of heart, Matthew 5:8. A list of highlights precede the video and a brief comment after it to add a few things Spurgeon did not mention in this very short devotional [I’ve listened to him preach on the beatitudes and know that he did not have time to state a few other foundational points about purity of heart and the process inherent in the beatitudes; as this is a devotional, not an exhaustive study of purity of heart…].

God Hates A Liar – Grace Digital Network

8 Jun 2023 Michael A

The video in this post is a thorough biblical critique of liars. In our day, lying is seen as part of interacting with others. Our leaders do not even seem to care if their lies are known. And they are not ashamed of lying…. On the other hand, truth is vehemently opposed. Those same leaders are making laws against truth and it is central to their mission to punish righteousness…. The following video reveals what God thinks about lying and liars:

Psalm / Hymn Singalong for personal worship

2 Jun 2023 Michael A

The purpose of this post is to provide music and singing for leading personal worship. I doubt if I’m the only worshiper who cannot carry a tune, even when I know the lyrics. Herein, the lyrics are below the music video so that readers might sing along with Brian Cochran as he plays his guitar and sings. It is like being in church and singing with the congregation and the pianist. Herein: Psalm 51C, about confessing sin; two hymns to help the worshiper consider the atoning work of Christ; and one hymn to help one consider the covenant God made with Abraham from which His redemptive work flowed
