False Christian teachings, trends….
R C’s sermon carefully explained The Day of Atonement; covenant blessings and curses; propitiation; expiation; the cross; imputation; substitution… the foundation stones of the gospel. If you desire to know the biblical gospel message; bolster your own gratitude to the Lord; draw nearer to Him by possessing greater knowledge of Him…, then this sermon can benefit you. If you have been in a false church, this sermon will help you specifically understand what is false about it.
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.
Pastor Ramsey is preaching about Israel and the church to help people think biblically (covenant theology) about modern Israel and the church. He is not addressing current problems in the holy land. This sermon is part one of three, he titled it ‘Israel.’ The next sermons will be, ‘the temple,’ and ‘the land.’ Highlight points are provided and a link to Pastor Ramsey’s Sermon Audio site.
This post contains a 10-minute reading from Calvin’s Commentary on Hebrews 12:4-8: My Son, Despise Not the Chastening of the Lord. It mostly describes appropriate ways to receive chastening from the Lord. Directly below the video are the words of Calvin which were read by the creator of the video, for those who would rather read, and those who would do both; also for easier review of talking points.
The two very short excerpts below discuss a Reformed Christian view of end times opposed to the Dispensational views that are seemingly part of Christian social views on the faith [views floating around in the social realm that go largely unexamined]. The title of the first video at Ligonier: What view did Calvin and other Reformers take on eschatology? Title of second video at Ligonier: How does Reformed theology understand the future of Israel? And how does this view compare to the theology of dispensationalism? [Portions of Galatians 3 and Romans 4 are pasted in below videos]
This post contains a 24-minute explanation of God’s righteousness, as is proclaimed in scripture, particularly, Romans. Many professors of Christianity do NOT understand what Pastor Hines explains herein. He focused on Romans 3, but also made some general statements about what is contained in the epistle of Romans. He also used the apostle Paul’s presentation of the gospel in light of a couple of statements from Isaiah and Jeremiah to show that salvation is by grace, not keeping the commandments. Video preceded by overview points.
Pastor Nelson’s 4-minute video calls for each of us to do what is called for in the following verse: If my people who are called by my name humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14

This post contains an 11-minute video that provides a biblical perspective on the title, ‘Is Mary the mother of God?’ Dr. Ortlund cited Karl Barth and Martin Luther in the process of answering that question. He has produced quite a few videos on various aspects of Roman Catholicism, two of which he mentions in the opening of his video. A list of highlights is provided.
