False Christian teachings, trends….
The video of this post is about your role in the great commission. Even as this world seems to be unraveling before our eyes, Christians must be most focused on doing Christ’s work. Please listen and get encouragement to seek God’s help that you might be brought into line with God’s purposes for you in His world. Pastor Philip Ryken makes Jesus’ words from Matthew 28:18 a personal directive.

I recently received a question from a reader who was confused about how to discern biblical from un-biblical preaching / preachers. This post aims at helping such readers. Seasoned Christians who believe in the doctrines that come from the Protestant Reformation, know that Dr. Voddie Baucham is a great preacher. Nate Sala, the creator of this video looks carefully at Baucham’s sermon to show just why that is so. Listeners will gain in two ways from hearing the video of this post: they will hear a biblically sound sermon and get some insight into Baucham’s purposes (and the purposes of biblical preachers); furthermore, they will get a 3-point tool by which they can measure preaching they hear, at their church and elsewhere.
The purpose of this post is to use the writings of John Calvin, who thoroughly understood scripture, to show why God gave the law through Moses. The goal in that is to show Christians that it is impossible to get into heaven by obeying the law. The law, as in Romans 3, was merely given to show us that we are helpless to obey it. We must rest in the righteousness that Christ earned by obeying the law during His earthly ministry. The book of Galatians and the initial 5+ chapters of Romans say just that. So, every Christian MUST learn how to submit to the Holy Spirit and quit working to earn merit before God….
Is Satan bound? Or is he the ruler of this world? Q&A from one of our live events, Derek Thomas, W. Robert Godfrey, and Sinclair Ferguson discuss how the coming of Christ has affected the dominion of the evil one.
This post contains a video by Justin Peters Ministries with a fuller assessment of the Alistair Begg event, utilizing more recent news than my other post. There are time stamps so that you may advance video to desired location to skip news you have already heard.
This post contains Mike Gendron’s monthly newsletter. Mike was a practicing Roman Catholic for 37 years before being born again. He and his wife thereafter began their ministry ‘Proclaiming the Gospel’ to witness the biblical Christ to Roman Catholics. I highlighted some words from Letters to Mike that speak to the ALISTAIR BEGG MATTER of the past week. Mike stated those words when questioned as to whether to attend a RCC wedding.
The purpose of this post is to provide an informed opinion on the events of the past week, via Rosaria Butterfield. She is a former lesbian and professor of Queer studies at Syracuse U; she was born again after reading through the Bible several times to write against it. She says a bit about her past in the 1st of three 5-minute videos. Each video deals with one of the terms of the title of this post, and more about her bio is given in the introduction of the post.
It has been said that the Gospel is so simple that a young child can hear it, understand it and believe it, yet so profound that a theologian can spend a lifetime studying its glorious transcendent truths. It is the greatest news anyone will ever hear because it offers a free and complete salvation from the punishment and power of sin, and a glorious inheritance in the everlasting kingdom of God awaits all believers. Topics of the gospel cards: God; Man; Sin; Jesus Christ; the cross; resurrection; salvation; grace; faith; repentance; righteousness; truth. [The complete newsletter is herein pasted, it includes speaking times and places; letters to the editor….]
I went to Pastor Hines Sermon Audio site to hear something on the Lord’s Supper. I decided to post the following 13-minute podcast because it provides understanding that connects the Passover with the Lord’s Supper and the gospel of Jesus Christ. I was particularly interested in improving my understanding of the Lord’s Supper, as I am discovering that my anxiety about partaking of this sacrament is typical among believers that do not rightly understand Christ’s work, believing that they have to be sufficiently worthy to partake of the bread and wine…. Also, the incarnation and the Christmas story can best be understood when one sees it in the context of God’s plan of redemption; the Passover and Calvary. Those connections are established in the material of this post
