False Christian teachings, trends….
The 10-minute devotional of this post teaches the value of parents taking concerns about children to Christ in prayer; it also emphasized His readiness to help the young. Furthermore, the reader mentioned lessons we should get from the text. The reader has wonderful voice and style, and he used beautiful music to accent his reading. If you’re a parent, please listen
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
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]
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.
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.
In this post is an introductory sermon of John MacArthur’s series on Galatians. Sermon highlight points precede the 48-minute video for those who would rather read. The initial 20 minutes or so is devoted to the lives of Job and Luther, to show godly fear that moved these men to seek God, but that did not avail in reconciliation until God intervened. If you know little about the difference between the seeking of salvation/reconciliation with God via works or via faith, then you should benefit from hearing his words. Also, he describes some current false teachers, also highlighted in the points.
Did you know over half of professing Christianity denies or rejects the Gospel’s divine promise of eternal life? Our Lord Jesus made His gracious and unbreakable promise very clear: “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life” (John 5:24). [Then Mike talked about this via the following subheadings: Power of Almighty God; Promises of Our Great God and Savior; Perpetual Intercession of Jesus; Proof of Christ’s Unconditional Love; Protection of the Good Shepherd; Permanence of Divine Gifts; Plain Meaning of the Word “Eternal.” In conclusion, he asked 7 rhetorical questions.]
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.
The John MacArthur message in this post is divided into two parts, a 22-minute portion on being born again and a 6-minute portion of the prison ministry of MacArthur’s church wherein a prison official and 2 former prisoners discuss how they came to faith and what role the prison ministry had in that transformation. This post will help Christian readers understand that our time is a perfect time to bring the gospel message, as many are at very low points in their lives. The most recent posts in this blog were about the Covid 19 Vax crime against humanity which has killed many and is not done wreaking havoc in the world. Everyone needs to prepare to meet their God….
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.
