J. Gresham Machen’s classic book Christianity and Liberalism – Ligonier Ministries

2 May 2023 Michael A

This post contains two short videos about J Gresham Machen; the first is on his book Christianity and Liberalism. Therein, Stephen Nichols explains the controversy which led Machen to write his book. In the course of his explanation, Nichols provided basic teaching on modernism, liberalism, the Scopes monkey trial, and Christian fundamentalism…. If you know nothing of these things, you should hear this video because it will give you insight into origins of current struggles in the church. The second video, 7-minutes, is an answer to a question submitted to Ligonier Ministries. This video is also on Machen but is more of an overview and covers different things.

John MacArthur: God-Centered vs Man-Centered Faith

30 Apr 2023 Michael A

In the first of two video shorts below, you will hear MacArthur state what is required for a professing Christian to live in accordance with scripture; in the second video short, you will hear what most people think it means to worship God, or to be a Christian.

The Doctrine of Election – A W Pink

27 Apr 2023 Michael A

This post contains a 3-minute video excerpt of a C H Spurgeon sermon on election and a 52-minute A W Pink video on the topic. Pink used quotations from several Spurgeon sermons to clarify various aspects of the doctrine; I thought his presentation was very understandable. If you don’t know much about this doctrine, which is a foundation stone of God’s plan of redemption, as found on the pages of scripture, then please sample the videos.

What is the Gospel?

23 Apr 2023 Michael A

The following 7-minute video is from the YouTube site, Got Questions dot org. He presents the gospel message clearly. The gospel message is the good news concerning Christ and the way of salvation. It comes with the bad news, that you were born in sin under the law….

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

20 Apr 2023 Michael A

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.

C H Spurgeon’s Morning and Evening Thoughts for April 14

14 Apr 2023 Michael A

Again, when I went to my E-sword pc Bible program, the following devotional opened before me and I read it to my blessing. Both messages are great; but the second one speaks specific encouragement for times such as this: I posted earlier today, a video about the globalist agenda, how the one-world order is crystallizing before our eyes. The second message below is comforting in light of these developments; it is also comforting for all conditions a believer might experience: cancer, Covid19….

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.
