Behold, I am Coming Quickly! – Rich Moore / Scripture Song / Lyrics

4 Mar 2023 Michael A

The Christian music in this post is based on Revlation 3:10-13; and Isaiah 41:10. Much Christian music these days is based on the opinions of the artists and not on real Bible verses. God the Holy Spirit saves people via scripture, not opinions of man. Also, if you use Christian music to stir up your heart for Bible study or personal worship, then hearing scripture as you listen has to be more spiritually beneficial. Additionally, if you grew up listening to rock music from the baby boomer generation, then you will like the music in this video.

Covenant Theology Overview by Pastor Patrick Hines [Salvation and Eschatology, Part 8, Conclusion]

3 Mar 2023 Michael A

The 22-minute video in this post addresses the following: the unity of the covenants of the Bible, Old and New Testaments; why faith is the only way of salvation; why works, obedience to the law, cannot save anyone; and why the doctrines of old-school Dispensationalism, which ascribe to God, two different ways of salvation in the Bible, are erroneous. Sermon highlight points are provided.

Not By Works – Galatians 2:15-21 – Pastor Patrick Ramsey

20 Feb 2023 Michael A

This post contains an mp3 sermon by Pastor Patrick Ramsey on Galatians 2:15-21. The way of salvation is not by works of the law. His sermon explained in great detail why this is so. Sermon points include more information than usual because this is an important point to grasp – every religion in the world, except Christianity, [and many of them wrongly] believes that one can earn righteousness to satisfy God’s wrath against sin… to get into heaven. The Bible says that is not true. The book of Galatians makes that very clear

Together For the Gospel – Galatians 2:11-14 by Pastor Patrick Ramsey

15 Feb 2023 Michael A

The 28-minute, mp3 sermon in this post discusses Galatians 2:11-14. Therein, Paul rebuked Peter for leading Galatians astray from the true biblical gospel…. In the process, pastor Ramsey clarified how Peter’s actions resulted in a message of hypocrisy to those present; also, that there has only been one gospel message since Abraham, the father of the faithful; that no one in the Old Testament was saved by keeping the law of Moses…. Below his sermon, I supplied some scriptures that indicate that Abraham believed God by Faith, as did all Old Testament believers who were saved. [Many Christians today believe that the Old Testament was about Law and the New, grace. No, all salvation has been by grace since God chose a people to call to himself, beginning with Abraham]

The Pretended Neutrality Fallacy – by Pastor Patrick Hines

13 Feb 2023 Michael A

In the 18-minute video of this post, Pastor Patrick Hines explains two fallacies that undermine the worldviews of people who go around saying, “the science says;” and those who subscribe to the theory of evolution. By knowing the contents of this video, Christians can also gain some understanding into how it is that one’s presuppositions form the basis for his worldview and one’s worldview determines how one explains the world around him.

The Parable of the Great Supper (Luke 14:15-24) — A Sermon by R.C. Sproul

12 Feb 2023 Michael A

Jesus told a parable of a great banquet. Although many guests were invited, they began making excuses once the feast drew near. Today, R.C. Sproul continues his series in the gospel of Luke, urging us to examine where we stand regarding the Lord’s ultimate invitation. [Sermon highlights are also provided for those who would rather read than listen]

What is the Westminster Confession of Faith?

11 Feb 2023 Michael A

This post contains the first video from Dr John Gerstner’s series on the Westminster Confession of Faith. The purpose of this post is to introduce Christians to confessions and their purpose in the Christian life. Dr Gerstner reads through chapter 1 of the WCF and briefly explains the purpose of the writers and how a student of the Bible can benefit from using this confession in Bible study. Links are provided to various confessions

Articulating a Biblical Worldview: Only Two Religions with Peter Jones

9 Feb 2023 Michael A

The video in this post is part 10 of a 12-part series by Dr Jones, Only Two Religions. The series is from his book by that title. Oneism is a descriptor of pantheistic religions, Paganism; and Twoism, is the term he uses to describe Christianity, which is unique among the religions of the world. The book is about how to live a Christian life in a world dominated by ‘oneism’ worship and practices. He wrote the book because there is a return to Paganism in the western world, as seen in the homosexual and trans movements and more. This lecture is about worldview, particularly, how the Christian worldview differs from the other. Also how the apostle Paul dealt with oneism in his day, as seen in Romans 1. The aim of this post is to help Christians know how to witness Christ in this culture. [My long series on Paganism is base on his book, see CATEGORIES, Paganism]

Galatians 5:17 For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit….

8 Feb 2023 Michael A

Learning to walk in the Spirit is absolutely essential if you would please God and make it into heaven. I am not satisfied with my own comprehension of such verses found in Paul’s epistles. These verses specifically identify a problem that occurs throughout scripture in that God calls us to repent and obey, and we want to rule our own lives and follow our own inclinations…. Seeing the problem clearly in your own walk is the first step in rectifying it. Exhortations that hold out the solution are found in the epistles and generally in scripture; that would be submitting to the Spirit’s guidance out of a love of God; using God’s appointed means, the armor He has given us with which to fight the fight of faith. But to use God’s appointed means of prayer and scripture reading, e.g., when we are bent on pleasure seeking to fulfill the inclinations/lusts of our heart, is impossible….
