How can I be victorious over my fear of sharing my faith? With Ray Comfort – Podcast Episode 203

24 Apr 2024 Michael A

This post contains the video of the Got Questions Podcast of today; it is an interview with Ray Comfort of Living Waters Ministries. He answered questions about how he shares the gospel. His major strategy, which I’d never discerned from watching his videos, is that he directs his questions at the conscience of the person with whom he is interacting; and avoids questions that engage the carnal mind: he explained that clearly in the video. If you have fear about witnessing or you just lack strategies, then you could benefit from hearing this podcast. Highlight points are below the video

Among the comments Sinclair Ferguson makes, he talks about the Old Testament believers who were saved by looking forward to Christ, by grace; just as New Testament believers are saved.

The Article on Which the Church Stands or Falls – R C Sproul

8 Apr 2024 Michael A

Was the Reformation debate over justification by faith alone a tempest in a teapot? There are many today who think so, many who argue that the Reformation is over. In this message, Dr. R.C. Sproul will explain why the Reformers spoke of justification by faith alone as the article on which the church stands or falls, and why we are never to compromise on this essential truth of the Christian faith. This message is from our 2013 National Conference, No Compromise:

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.

The Passover [a ‘type’ of the New Covenant in Christ’s Blood] – R C Sproul [Part 3]

30 Mar 2024 Michael A

This post contains a 24-minute teaching video by R C Sproul described as follows, by Ligonier Ministries: The Passover is a day of central importance in Israel’s history. To bring about the redemption of His people from slavery in Egypt, God provided them a means of escaping the wrath He would pour out on the land. The blood of a lamb was to cover the doorposts of Israel’s dwellings, displaying God’s merciful protection of His people from the judgment to come. In this message, R.C. Sproul discusses the significance of the Passover and how it foreshadows the redemption accomplished by Jesus, the Lamb of God. [There are highlight points following the video]

Unity of Old and New Testaments – Part 2

28 Mar 2024 Michael A

The purpose of this series is to show that Bible covenants cause the Old and New Testaments to have unity. The Old and New Testaments, are the revelation of One God to a people He is calling out of this world. One can easily see the truth of that statement if he/she looks at God’s plan of redemption via the covenants He entered into with mankind in order to restore him, to redeem him. Excerpts from John Calvin’s Institutes of the Christian Religion will be used to support my purpose statement.

What is biblical typology? – Got Questions Ministries – [Part 1]

22 Mar 2024 Michael A

This is the first post in a mini-series that will use John Calvin’s Institutes of the Christian Religion to show the interrelatedness the Old and New Testaments. I hope to show readers that the Old and New Testaments are intimately connected by way of covenants. A fundamental concept that must be understood in order to see the connectedness of the two testaments is typology.

This post contains one commentary explanation of poverty of spirit from Matthew 5:3; it also contains a brief excerpt from two other posts about Jonathan Edwards, the excerpts are extremely relevant to the Matthew 5:3. One of those posts gave glimpses into his struggle for obedience; the other into his analysis of what constituted a truly born again person as opposed to a false convert.
