Sanctification in Romans 6 to 8 – Martyn Lloyd-Jones – MLJTrust

20 Oct 2024 Michael A

…“It is impossible for a Christian to remain in continual sin due to sanctification.” This is a freeing truth. From the moment of conversion, the Spirit of Life dwells in the believer, and they cannot be subject to the carnal. Moreover, this is a promise for all Christians, not just a blessing that some receive and others don’t. And yet, the struggle against sin is still a daily battle for followers of Christ. To help the listener better understand, Dr. Lloyd-Jones explains that from the moment of salvation, Christians are dead to sin since they have been united with Christ and His life. The Christian spirit is alive to Christ, yet their bodies are still under the bondage and dominion of sin…. [From MLJTrust’s explanation of this sermon. They also provided sermon highlight points.]

Exposing the Campaign for Immorality – Pastor John MacArthur

16 Oct 2024 Michael A

This post contains an Mp3 message by John MacArthur, it is another installment of John MacArthur’s series, Exposing the Campaign for Immorality. …While the DNC is the catalyst, the need for addressing these pressing issues is much bigger than any political agenda, as society at large has moved beyond acceptance of sinful behavior and now celebrates it. The promotion of this behavior is inescapable and spreads far wider than the borders of the United States. In light of this, I want to provide a series of messages offering clarity to many critical issues. …The current state of the world mirrors the time of Israel’s judges: “Everyone did what was right in his own eyes” (Judg. 21:25). Rebellious humanity echoes the words of Psalm 2, “Let us tear their fetters apart and cast away their cords from us!” (v. 3). The restraints have been thrown off—and mankind is paying the price….

UN Communication Czar Hides from Questions on Censorship Partnership With Google – The New American

12 Oct 2024 Michael A

United Nations Under-Secretary-General for Communications Melissa Fleming refused to answer questions from The New American magazine’s Alex Newman about the UN partnership with Google. The alliance, which Fleming boasted about at the World Economic Forum, aims to silence voices online that contradict the UN’s narrative on issues such as climate change. Ironically, Newman asked her a question right after she finished a panel discussion on the importance of “journalism.”

London Police Settle with Street Preacher Arrested for Offending Muslims – The New American

11 Oct 2024 Michael A

London’s Metropolitan Police recently paid a $13,100 settlement to a Christian street preacher they arrested after her preaching angered a Muslim mob — the second such settlement the bobbies have paid her in two years. Hatun Tash, a former Muslim, “regularly critiques and debates the Qur’an and Islam at Speakers’ Corner,” a section of Hyde Park set aside for free speech and demonstrations…. Tash, director of the ministry Defend Christ Critique Islam (DCCI), has a YouTube channel with almost 700,000 subscribers. She claims to have seen “over 1,000 ex-Muslims” become Christians in Great Britain and to be “discipling many people” around the world.

An Encounter With God – Martyn Lloyd-Jones

9 Oct 2024 Michael A

This post contains a sermon by Martyn Lloyd-Jones from MLJTrust: “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?” With this question, the notorious persecutor Saul had a face to face encounter with Jesus. Listen as Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones recounts this divine confrontation that transformed an enemy of the cross into a child of God. When culture screams for autonomy from God, the grace of God rips away the mask of cultural Christianity. Now, as one who is forgiven and at peace with our Savior, the Christian learns to be silent, to listen and to submit to Christ’s will. No one is saved as a family or a nation, but only an individual can be spared from the wrath of God by the conviction of sin and the forgiveness of the Savior.

Millions of Christians Not Planning to Vote – American Faith

8 Oct 2024 Michael A

This post contains an article from American Faith: Millions of Christians in the United States have indicated that they will not vote in the upcoming presidential election, according to a study released by the Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University. Many of the people interviewed for the study (79%) identify as “people of faith,” meaning they consider themselves part of the Christian, Jewish, Mormon, or Islamic faiths. Only slightly more than one-half (51%) of this demographic said they are likely to vote in the upcoming presidential election…. [If you know any such Christians as are described in this post, please encourage them to vote, as not doing so could ensure that we become a communist nation very soon.]

Redemption: The Eternal Plan of God – Martyn Lloyd-Jones [Part 2]

2 Oct 2024 Michael A

The sermon of this post is by Martyn Lloyd-Jones and is the followup sermon to the one just posted, on the covenant of grace in the Old Testament. If you want an improved understanding of the unity of the entire Bible that results from God’s plan of redemption, this sermon and the one last posted in this blog will be of much help to you.

The Covenant of Grace in the Old Testament – Martyn Lloyd-Jones [Part 1]

1 Oct 2024 Michael A

This sermon by MLJ clarifies that the Bible is unified by its covenants. Furthermore, the most important covenant is the covenant of grace which was hinted at in Genesis 3:15. It is established fully via the duration of the Bible, in the various other covenants. If you have been under the impression that there are two peoples of God; or that the Old and New Testaments reveal differing ways of salvation…; then this sermon will show you the errors of such thinking that abounds in our society because of the man-made doctrines of dispensationalism.

WE WILL NOT BOW – John MacArthur

18 Sep 2024 Michael A

In 2015, the Supreme Court foisted a great injustice on the American people: the legalization of homosexual marriage. The result has been a head-on collision of biblical truth and social norms. In the eyes of the world, telling the truth about homosexuality is officially hateful and bigoted. It may even come with legal consequences. Some Christians responded by bending to the culture’s pressure campaign and softening their views on homosexuality in the name of tolerance. …True believers do not have the liberty to withhold biblical truth because it has become unpopular.
