The Sins You Won’t Give Up – Pastor Tim Conway

9 Sep 2022 Michael A

There are two brief videos in this post, each are sermon excerpts of pastor Tim Conway sermons. The first provides a useful picture of the problem of repentance and the second a graphic depiction of hell. Each will slap you startle you with a dose of biblical reality. We all tend to backslide on occasion, even the great warrior king and poet, David backslid. I believe many Christians are grateful for his failure, as it demonstrated to all who read the Bible that God is merciful and forgiving; and sinners may start walking with God again, even after great failures. The videos provide warnings and encouragement for such as are in need of these.

Faith: Old Paths – J. C. Ryle

8 Mar 2022 Michael A

The one-minute video meditation in this pose is about the following points: 1. God’s mind towards the world. 2. God’s gift to the world. 3. The way man obtains the benefit of God’s love. 4. How true belief in Christ may be discerned and known. The scripture text is, “God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life” – John 3:16. Old Paths is a J C Ryle book about the weighty matters of Christianity; this is a tiny excerpt from that work.

The Welsh Revival of 1904-05 – J. Edwin Orr

4 Sep 2021 Michael A

In the following account of the Welch revival of 1904, James Edwin Orr tells of how that revival began and how it spread to Canada and the US a year later.
If you want a sense for how the Holy Spirit works in true revivals, then you will gain from listening to Orr’s account. At one point, he compared Billy Graham’s revivals to the Welch revival just to show how much greater the work of the Spirit is in relation to planned revivals of man. …As Orr described how European societies were changed during the 18 months the Welch revival lasted, I thought of 2020 and how decadent the US has become. …However, inherent in Orr’s talk is the hope that the Welch revival began with the spiritual aspirations of one man – the Spirit used him to kick off a work of God. The Spirit of God can do that anytime He chooses.

The Gospel of Redemption – Voddie Baucham

6 Jun 2021 Michael A

In the following 5 minute sermon excerpt, Dr. Voddie Baucham explains the gospel of redemption; his purpose in doing so is to clarify the difference between a man-centered gospel and a God-centered gospel. This culture has long believed that the gospel is about them and has wrongly presented the gospel in that way to those who do not know Christ.

DISCERNMENT: Examples of Man-Centered Preaching And God-Centered Preaching Via Rick Warren & Paul Washer

3 Mar 2021 Michael A

This post shows a picture of man-centered and God-centered preaching, using two well known preachers: Rick Warren and Paul Washer. A linked video shows how they each addressed a conference of young preachers, providing guidance and encouragement. If you view 15 minutes of the 90 minute video, you will begin to get a sense of the definitions of these two very different styles of preaching which could also be labeled – unbiblical vs biblical; or progressive vs reformed; or possibly modern vs orthodox. Warren typifies modern evangelicalism; Washer typifies reformed evangelicalism (“reformed” derives from the Protestant Reformers, Luther, Calvin…).

God Come Near: by Rev. Rutledge E. Etheridge III [Encouragement in this time of crisis]

21 Dec 2020 Michael A

So the Lord looks to you this morning via His word, with a view towards those particular sins that you and I know so deeply in our hearts, those sins with which we tend to identify, with which we may have come to define our lives, possibly our default sins; our go to in times of stress; those sins that we treat as an exception in our need to follow God’s commands; the ones to which we have yielded time and time again as if they were our Savior, and our Lord
