Prison Ministry of John MacArthur – Reaching The Lost When They’ve Hit Bottom

27 Nov 2022 Michael A

The title of this post does not mean that all prisoners have hit bottom, many will get released and continue in a life of crime; but MacArthur’s church ministry makes literature and ministry available for those who realize they are at a very low point in their lives. Part of the discussion focuses on the need of Christians to be able to present the biblical gospel message of hope to people, also non-prisoners, who are in dire need of it. In these days of mass deception (as evidenced in recent posts herein on the Covid 19 vax), and rapid moral disintegration of our world, everyone needs to be ready to meet God. Christians need to be able to witness Christ and His gospel message to lost family members and neighbors….

What’s Wrong With ‘The Chosen’?

6 Nov 2022 Michael A

The 2-minute video of this post explains why the movie, The Chosen, is unbiblical: the biblical gospel message is changed; it actually contains components of Mormonism. Such a gospel message has no saving capacity, so, it is very important to understand the errors put forth by the series

Antithetical Doctrines Provide Gospel Clarity – Mike Gendron, Proclaiming The Gospel

1 Nov 2022 Michael A

This newsletter emphasizes the antitheses in our culture that make the light of the gospel brighter. Some of those he noted include: Jesus will remain in heaven until He appears a second time, without reference to sin (Heb. 9:28). ANTITHESIS: Rome’s false Christ returns every day to be offered for the sins of the living and the dead (CCC, 1374, CCC, 1414). Jesus finished the work of redemption on the cross (Hebrews 9:12, 10:12). ANTITHESIS: Rome’s counterfeit Christ continues the work of redemption on an altar (CCC, 1367, CCC, 1405). Jesus redeemed believers from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us (Gal. 3:10). ANTITHESIS: Rome’s false Christ requires Catholics to obey the law to attain salvation (CCC, 2068).

Telling the Truth in a Post-Truth World, Part B – John MacArthur

30 Oct 2022 Michael A

Dr. MacArthur’s sermon emphasized the necessity of the born-again believer speaking God’s truth in our society. He explained the major problems of this society, and how these are the result of God’s judgment of abandonment. He briefly traced the social history of that judgment using Romans 1, and went to 2 Corinthians 10 and talked about ideological strongholds, how God’s truth is the only way those fall… that we must be focused on breaking these down by speaking God’s truth. He also explained how false teachers interfere with truth being spoken; and how politicians are increasing judgment by codifying wickedness, and more.

The Most Hated Christian Doctrine – John MacArthur

25 Oct 2022 Michael A

Dr. MacArthur opened his sermon by mentioning a few questions from a survey on evangelicalism; participant responses, by percentage, were given. That modern evangelicalism suffers from biblical illiteracy was apparent. He put that on church leaders for their teaching that falls short of scripture, and is largely devoid of truth. He talked about how hard it is to witness the biblical gospel because it must begin with ‘the most hated doctrine’ of scripture, that man is a depraved sinner. He used scripture to show what happened to Jesus, and then to the disciples for teaching that biblical gospel. [If you’re a new Christian, or have been under unbiblical teaching for some time, then this sermon will help you understand the biblical perspective of the gospel and witnessing it].

R.C. Sproul – God’s Help For Depressed Believers [Salvation And Eschatology, Part 4]

6 Oct 2022 Michael A

In the R C Sproul sermon of this post, he carefully explains how God gives salvation to a believer. In the process he discusses faith, justification and imputation, all bed-rock doctrines upon which the Christian’s spiritual life is built. He also clearly shows where Protestantism and Roman Catholicism differ, and where the latter veers into unbiblical byways. He uses scripture to make his points. [Sermon highlight points and some passages of scripture are provided]

How Do The Reformed Faiths Of J. MacArthur And V. Baucham Differ? [ Salvation and Eschatology Part 3]

4 Oct 2022 Michael A

In the video of this post, Pastor Joel Webbon explains the difference between the Baptist 1689 confession subscribed to by Voddie Baucham and the Westminister Confession of Faith subscribed to by John MacArthur – regarding their eschatological views. He does that in the process of answering a question submitted by a viewer. The question contained several questions which had to be clarified by Webbon before he got to the main point. So the video is a bit longer than it might have been, but for listeners who are new to such topics, Webbon’s redundancy will likely be helpful.
