This post contains a lovely video presentation of a brief work by J R Miller. His words get to the essential struggle of the Christian life. I have listened to it a half-dozen times in the past several days and have found much encouragement in his words. I most benefited from learning his perspective on the Christian’s struggles. It is a godly perspective such as is found in 1 Corinthians 9, where Paul speaks of the fight; and in Pilgrim’s Progress. A very useful small book is recommended which guides one through such a journey as the Bunyan’s pilgrim Christian walked.

Evidences of Saving Faith – A W Pink
This post contains two videos about faith, the first, by John MacArthur is ‘walking by faith.’ In this 5-minute excerpt, he talks about the disciples having walked with Christ in this world, had to adjust to walking by faith after His ascension; the second video, 31-minutes, is a reading of A W Pinks, ‘evidences of saving faith.’ Sermon points are supplied before each video.
The fight of faith, A W Pink
This post contains a 20-minute reading from A W Pink’s writings about fighting the good fight of faith. His description of the fight is very useful because he boils things down such that one can begin fighting. Sermon points precede the video, so those who do not have 20 minutes to spare, can read the points, which are more than just highlights.
Saving Faith – Counterfeits By A. W. Pink
There is a faith that seems genuine but that has no saving power. This post contains an 8-minute excerpt of a 32-minute A W Pink which provides some specific points that may help you ascertain the quality of your own faith. Since evangelism has been fairly corrupted the past 200 years, with many false gospels and methods of evangelism being foisted upon potential converts, ascertaining whether your faith is genuine or not is an important matter. The 32-minute reading is also included, as well as highlight points on the 8-minute excerpt.
The Conditions of Power in Prayer – Charles Spurgeon
This post contains a C H Spurgeon sermon on prayer: there is a 14-minute excerpt on a sermon point that will give you insight into the quality of your own faith regarding prayer. Spurgeon talked about prayer in terms of the relationship of a child to his earthly father; his examples were the best I’ve heard in terms of revealing one’s faith. If you desire to have answered prayers…and to grow in faith and love of God, then you will certainly benefit from hearing what he said. The entire sermon is also posted herein, and I highly recommend it, as the excerpt only covers one sermon point.
