Where can seekers find community outside organized religion? Meet The Nearness – RNS [Part 1 of 2]

11 May 2023 Michael A

This post contains an article from Religious News Service on a new spiritual coop called, The Nearness. I am NOT recommending this coop, but am critiquing it from a biblical perspective. This is part 1 of 2 ; the second part contains three one-minute videos and a 25-minute video: one by MacArthur on the difference between religion and biblical Christianity; one that describes The Nearness, from their YouTube site; one on a new course they are offering; and a video by R C Sproul that explains encounters with God. Therein, he uses scripture and personal testimony of his conversion. Part 2 will be posted tomorrow

This post contains an article from Religious News Service about United Methodist Churches that are disaffiliating over issues related to the LGBTQ movement. The purpose of the post is to keep readers informed on current events impacting the church amid the culture wars in America.

3 May 2023 Michael A

The entire News Letter of Mike Gendron’s ministry, Proclaiming the Gospel has been copied and pasted in below. This ministry is about proclaiming the biblical gospel to Roman Catholics, because they are being taught a false gospel based on works. This time, I also pasted in the information about teaching conferences and ministry publications of tracts, books, etc. The links are live to his ministry site, for those who would like to order some of his publications.

J. Gresham Machen’s classic book Christianity and Liberalism – Ligonier Ministries

2 May 2023 Michael A

This post contains two short videos about J Gresham Machen; the first is on his book Christianity and Liberalism. Therein, Stephen Nichols explains the controversy which led Machen to write his book. In the course of his explanation, Nichols provided basic teaching on modernism, liberalism, the Scopes monkey trial, and Christian fundamentalism…. If you know nothing of these things, you should hear this video because it will give you insight into origins of current struggles in the church. The second video, 7-minutes, is an answer to a question submitted to Ligonier Ministries. This video is also on Machen but is more of an overview and covers different things.

27 Apr 2023 Michael A

The title is a general statement to cover what John MacArthur addressed in the following video short I found at the YouTube site, Solus Christus: in his comments, you will hear a biblical take on the following: Planned Parenthood; abortion; human depravity; the Marxist worldview; the democratic political platform; Socialism; the absence of the rule of law in our culture under democratic rule….

Trans Movement and Christianity: The Root Cause of Enmity

21 Apr 2023 Michael A

In the 12-minute video of this post, vlogger, Colin Miller discusses Tucker Carlson’s statements about the Nashville shooting of 6 Christians by a trans person. Tucker’s assessment of the conflict that exists between the trans movement and Christians was spot on; Miller merely added to it and framed it in a biblical manner. This video is being posted because it is how biblical Christians need to see the problem; then they will have to admit that there is a conflict and can begin considering strategies.

20 Apr 2023 Michael A

The following video is from the YouTube site, Fight For Truth. I’m posting the video because his assessment is biblical and Christians need to hear some straight talk on the matter.

Kenneth Steward Sermon – Troubled Waters

16 Apr 2023 Michael A

Pastor Stewart’s sermon is on the following text, which he called the most meaningful in the entire Bible regarding practical living of the Christian life; he made the lesson Christ taught His apostles clear for us: Matthew 14:30 But seeing the wind, he became frightened, and when he began to sink, he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!” 31 Immediately Jesus reached out with His hand and took hold of him, and *said to him, “You of little faith, why did you doubt?” 32 When they got into the boat, the wind stopped.

C H Spurgeon’s Morning and Evening Thoughts for April 14

14 Apr 2023 Michael A

Again, when I went to my E-sword pc Bible program, the following devotional opened before me and I read it to my blessing. Both messages are great; but the second one speaks specific encouragement for times such as this: I posted earlier today, a video about the globalist agenda, how the one-world order is crystallizing before our eyes. The second message below is comforting in light of these developments; it is also comforting for all conditions a believer might experience: cancer, Covid19….
