Exposing the Campaign for Immorality – John MacArthur

11 Sep 2024 Michael A

Dr. MacArthur opens this message by explaining the different kinds of wrath of God that are apparent in Romans 1: eschatological wrath (end times); sowing and reaping wrath which is dealt out as consequences for the sin a person sows; cataclysmic wrath, God unleashes this type of wrath via miraculous use of the natural order, such as the flood or any other massive disaster that catapults souls into eternity; eternal wrath, as in those who suffer hell; but the wrath referred to in Romans 1 is different, it is the wrath of abandonment. …This type of judgment is, per the text: Romans 1:18 But God shows his anger from heaven against all sinful, wicked people who suppress the truth by their wickedness. …When man abandons God as revealed in creation, in conscience, in holy scripture; suppressing the truth, God judges that society. Even though that society considers themselves to be wise, that society is the ultimate ship of fools….

Stricken, Smitten, and Afflicted – Trinity Psalter Hymnal 342

10 Sep 2024 Michael A

This post contains one hymn sung by Brian Cochran. It was copied and uploaded from his YouTube site. I have been experimenting with singing as part of my personal worship for the past year, off and on. I find that my heart is warmer and more prepared for reading God’s word if I have sung a few hymns beforehand. This hymn is one of my favorites because it reminds me of Jesus’ atoning work, His suffering… for me. I am moved to consider my priorities and clearly see that the things of self are still way too important…. I’m in my 70’s and need to seek God’s help to rectify this while it is possible.

Hosea 10: 11-15 Sowing and Reaping – Pastor Richard Caldwell Jr

14 Jun 2024 Michael A

Sowing and reaping is a thoroughly biblical concept which I have often liked to forget about. However, to forget about it is to put your soul in grave danger. Pastor Caldwell presents the idea of sowing and reaping in a clear and memorable way as he preaches through Hosea 10: 11-15. My last post was on Pastor Caldwell’s sermon on repentance; well, knowing the ideas in this post will likely motivate you to desire repentance, and help you move in that direction.

Jesus’ Teaching on Marriage and Gender – Things Unseen – Sinclair Ferguson

11 Apr 2024 Michael A

This post contains a 6-minute video by Pastor Sinclair Ferguson which clarifies Jesus’ teaching on gender and marriage. With all the confusion in the 21st century church, he is a voice of reason that stands with God, His word and His Messiah. You may do what you want, but there are consequences, as Ferguson indicated in the brief video. Also, as some recently tried to say about Ferguson and other evangelicals from across the pond, their compassion is actually in line with God’s, not with man’s.

The Wrath of God in Preaching – R C Sproul

5 Apr 2024 Michael A

This post features a sermon by R C Sproul on the Wrath of God in general. His sermon text is Leviticus 10, the Death of Nadab and Abihu for offering ‘strange fire’ before Yahweh. If your church is teaching you that the God of the Old Testament is the wrathful God and the God of the New Testament is all about grace, then you absolutely need to hear this sermon. A pastor actually spoke such words to me shortly after I was born again while reading through the Bible. There are many pastors who teach such error. Sproul says enough from the New Testament to confirm that the same God is the one present on the pages of both testaments; that is, that ‘God’s wrath’ is still a reality.

1 Corinthians 6:18 Flee fornication… sinneth against his own body

3 Apr 2024 Michael A

In my daily reading, 1 Cor. 4-7, I spent time reading commentaries on the following verse. I wanted some clarity about the underscored portion of the following verse. I read several commentaries from the e-Sword Bible app on my iPhone, two of those commentaries are pasted in below: Albert Barnes and Matthew Henry. Barnes treats only verse 18; Henry, 12-20 of 1 Cor. 6. Scripture pasted in for those who would like to review it before reading.
