The Golden Rule, Dr. Patrick Ramsey

17 Mar 2021 Michael A

Dr. Ramsey just finished preaching through the 10 commandments from Deuteronomy 5; this sermon is a capstone of sorts to that series. In other words, he talks about the golden rule in terms of the 10 commandments; he also tied in other significant passages of scripture such as Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount; and Jesus’ words in Matthew 22:37ff – when He talked about loving God and ones neighbor.
He began by talking about what the golden rule is not; and how not to use it. Then Dr. Ramsey talked about how social relationships flourish when people follow the golden rule and why that is so.

The Baha’i Faith and Christian Denominations Who Combine The Law and The Gospel To Create A Way Of Salvation ERR Fatally

15 Mar 2021 Michael A

This post uses scripture from Galatians to show that there is only one way of salvation, faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. The Baha’i Faith, and many Christian denominations mix the law and the gospel to create a way that does not lead to salvation; blending elements of the biblical system of law with the new covenant gospel way of faith creates a false way that leads only to damnation. Even though the apostle Paul used many words in Romans, Galatians and elsewhere to clarify this very important matter, many still err. Paul undoubtedly spent so much time on this matter because pride moves us all to think we can make our own way to God.

Allie Beth Stuckey, Relatable podcast topics: Dr. J. MacArthur’s comments on religious liberty; Beth Moore Leaving SBC; IF Gathering

11 Mar 2021 Michael A

Allie Beth Stuckey podcast: [from YouTube site] first, we discuss recent comments made by John MacArthur about religious freedom. Is it right to fight for the religious liberty of those who hate you? Then, we briefly address Beth Moore leaving the Southern Baptist Convention. She’s been a controversial figure in the SBC for some time, and it seems they will be parting ways. And, it was disappointing to see elements of critical race theory and other aspects of leftist social justice creeping into IF Gathering, a conference for Christian women.

The Tenth Commandment, Sermon by Dr. Patrick Ramsey

7 Mar 2021 Michael A

In Dr. Ramsey’s sermon on the 10th commandment titled ‘Desire,’ he defines the Hebrew word covet as desire; he distinguished ‘good’ and ‘illicit’ desire, providing examples of each and suggesting how one might channel desire to make it good. He also explained what the commandment does NOT require, clarification which many will appreciate

DISCERNMENT: Examples of Man-Centered Preaching And God-Centered Preaching Via Rick Warren & Paul Washer

3 Mar 2021 Michael A

This post shows a picture of man-centered and God-centered preaching, using two well known preachers: Rick Warren and Paul Washer. A linked video shows how they each addressed a conference of young preachers, providing guidance and encouragement. If you view 15 minutes of the 90 minute video, you will begin to get a sense of the definitions of these two very different styles of preaching which could also be labeled – unbiblical vs biblical; or progressive vs reformed; or possibly modern vs orthodox. Warren typifies modern evangelicalism; Washer typifies reformed evangelicalism (“reformed” derives from the Protestant Reformers, Luther, Calvin…).

How Do I Know I Am Truly A Christian When I Constantly Struggle With Sin? Dr. Stephen J Nichols

26 Feb 2021 Michael A

In the Christian’s struggle with sin, they may sometimes wonder whether they truly are born again; actually, it is possible to frequently wonder if one is really born again. Dr. Stephen Nichols provided a biblical answer to that question which was asked by someone at #AskLigonier. I found his answer to be very encouraging and insightful, as he redirected hearers to the only foundation of faith; and clearly cited the reason for fluctuations in assurance

Word of Faith Fellowship Spindale NC, And Similar False Ministries, Part 1 of 2

23 Feb 2021 Michael A

This post discusses the Word of Faith Fellowship in Spindale NC and several other ministries that diverge from the Bible in similar ways. Four talking points are taken from a secular news report on the Spindale fellowship, of which only the first is discussed in this post – individuals that start churches. In this case, Jane Whaley: she had no Christian education; demanded that she be honored (like cult leaders do); abused congregants….
