The Covenant Of Grace – Pastor Patrick Hines [Salvation and Eschatology, Part 2]

27 Sep 2022 Michael A

In the 25-minute mp4 of this post, Pastor Hines explains biblical covenant theology as it reveals God’s plan of redemption in the Old and New Testaments. You will find that it is wrong to say, “the Old Testament was law and the New, grace;” or, “we are living in the day of grace,” as though those in the Old Testament were not saved by grace also. Many Christians, who have not formed a habit of reading through their Bibles, err in that they think wrongly about the Old Testament saints, how they were saved by God.

Dispensationalism, History And Theology By Pastor Patrick Hines [Salvation And Eschatology Part 1]

26 Sep 2022 Michael A

This post contains a sermon by Pastor Patrick Hines on the history of dispensationalism. In the process of explaining that, he addresses the pre-millennial and a-millennial views of end times. That is the chief reason I am blogging his message. The next post in this mini series will be about covenant theology, which is about the history of redemption as viewed by way of Bible covenants. That theology undermines dispensationalist’s views about end times and about how God dispensed salvation to Israel and the church; as covenant theology believes that Israel was the church from the beginning, via Abraham.

Why Is Repentance Necessary? – J C Ryle [3-minute excerpt]

10 Sep 2022 Michael A

The following 3-minute excerpt of an 80-minute Ryle Audio book about the necessity of repentance for heaven. I excerpted this brief section of Ryle’s message because his words offer a unique perspective regarding getting to heaven. I believe that his words will make it easier for you to accurately critique your own desires concerning heaven. Sermon highlight points are provided and a link to the entire audio book.

The Sins You Won’t Give Up – Pastor Tim Conway

9 Sep 2022 Michael A

There are two brief videos in this post, each are sermon excerpts of pastor Tim Conway sermons. The first provides a useful picture of the problem of repentance and the second a graphic depiction of hell. Each will slap you startle you with a dose of biblical reality. We all tend to backslide on occasion, even the great warrior king and poet, David backslid. I believe many Christians are grateful for his failure, as it demonstrated to all who read the Bible that God is merciful and forgiving; and sinners may start walking with God again, even after great failures. The videos provide warnings and encouragement for such as are in need of these.

A Picture Of Repentance – Voddie Baucham Sermon Excerpt

25 Aug 2022 Michael A

This post contains a 14-minute sermon excerpt of Matthew 7:13 and 14 by Voddie Baucham. He describes the narrow gate and hard way very clearly; he also provided a clear biblical picture of repentance. If you were saved via the sinner’s prayer, then you will be shocked. There are a few other pastors in our time that describe these things similarly, John MacArthur and Paul Washer for example. I chose to excerpt this brief section from his 72-minute sermon for that picture of repentance, as I believe it is rarely preached in the church of our day. If you want to understand just what the way of life that Christ described in Matthew 7 looks like, then please listen to this excerpt. The last 3 minutes are a closing prayer. Baucham’s entire sermon is also posted for those who might like to hear it. I listened to it several times over the past week; it is worthy of book marking and returning to until it is digested

How To Share The Gospel With An Atheist – Paul Washer

21 Aug 2022 Michael A

At the 2021 Fellowship Conference, Paul Washer was asked the following question: So I was saved about two years ago from, well, atheism, and I have a pretty atheistic family. And so I’ve been trying to share the gospel with them. Ever since I was saved. And just finally, recently, I’m engaged in a conversation with my sister, and she’s wanting to get into a discussion about evidence and I’m just curious if you guys can touch on should I engage in that or not? [He provided a 6-minute answer that will offer you help if you have unsaved family and friends that you desire to reach.]

Spiritual Depression – By Martyn Lloyd-Jones – Chapter 2 Excerpts, Post 2

11 Aug 2022 Michael A

This post provides excerpts concerning Martyn Lloyd-Jones second principle of chapter two from his book, Spiritual Depression. Recently, I posted excerpts of the first part of that chapter and have decided to provide the latter part also, so that readers might have a fuller taste of this classic book. The words of this post emphasize how God the Father made Christ a propitiation for sin; Jones calls this his second principle of chapter 2. His discussion in this chapter is of necessary prerequisites to knowing spiritual joy…such that one is not depressed spiritually.

Danger! Legalism: The Whole Christ with Sinclair Ferguson

10 Aug 2022 Michael A

Legalism is a problem as old as the garden of Eden. After God told Adam and Eve not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, the serpent planted doubt in Eve’s mind, resulting in her adding to God’s instruction and twisting His intentions. In this message, Sinclair Ferguson defines legalism and the underlying dangers that accompany a failure to see how God’s law is closely connected to His character. [His clear teaching will give you insight into how you are striving for repentance and obedience.]

Philippians 4:8 Finally, Brethren, Whatsoever things are true…. Alexander MacLaren Commentary

9 Aug 2022 Michael A

This post contains comments from Alexander MacLaren on Philippians 4:8 and 9. I read it this morning after reading through Philippians. I believe that his comments are a prescription for the ailment of backsliding and commented on that while introducing the text. Also, some of his words describe current events which I commented on after MacLaren’s thoughts ended. If you have been struggling in your walk of faith, then you may find some specific direction and motivation herein.

How Is The Lord Jesus Christ Our Kinsman Redeemer?

31 Jul 2022 Michael A

Dr. James Boyce was preaching on the Jubilee year today. As he talked about the various aspects of this topic, he came to discuss the kinsman redeemer. I was familiar with that idea from the book of Ruth; but I did not know that Boaz was a type of Christ. The initial 3 minutes of the following mp4, are about the kinsman redeemer and how it is that the Lord Jesus Christ fulfills that role to us; the other 7 minutes of the sermon include some related material about property…regarding the Jubilee year.
