Psa 18:16 He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters.

Psalm18:16 He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters. There can be little doubt but that David in this place is idealizing some of his own experiences; but that eye is very dim which cannot perceive in the Psalmist’s language something far beyond a description of his own immediate temporal danger and rescue. We have not exhausted the meaning of this magnificent hymn until we have seen in it a foreshadowing of the world’s redemption in Jesus Christ. In his description of this redemption, the writer compares Christ with Noah’s Ark, but the Ark of salvation which Christ represents is far better as he explained.

…Work Out Your Own Salvation With Fear And Trembling…. Philippians 2:12,13

11 May 2022 Michael A

While my friend and I were reading through Philippians yesterday, we looked at a commentary to better understand Philippians 2:12 and 13. The parts that we were interested in understanding better were: work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; and it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. If you’re not clear on the meaning of these statements, then your questions will be answered in this post.

1 Corinthians 6:9-20 On Sexual Sin; Part 1 of 2

5 May 2022 Michael A

This post is the part one of a two-part mini-series, but actually the third post I have written against Greear’s teaching in the following 1-minute video. Therein, J D Greear told his congregation that sexual sin should not be stigmatized; that it should be whispered about because that is what the Bible does while it loudly confronts greed…. Greear is likely saying these things about the Bible because the SBC has incorporated Marxist ideology via CRT and related teachings. Marxist ideology is anti-Christ, anti-God and anti-Bible. Marx stated that religion is the ‘opiate of the masses.’ In other words, those who subscribe to a belief in God, the Bible…are high on opium and not in their right minds, he would have you worship the state as God. The following scriptures and commentary show that Greear’s teachings on that video are grossly unbiblical and heretical.

The Gospel- The Only Hope Of Escaping God’s Wrath Against Sin

1 May 2022 Michael A

This post contains the gospel message presented by Mike Gendron, a former Roman Catholic. He was converted after having been a practicing Catholic for 37 years. His presentation contains many references to scripture and is worthy of study for anyone who doesn’t really know the gospel message or how to present it. This post was copied and pasted from an email I received from his ministry.

Philippians 2:16 holding fast to the word of life….

25 Apr 2022 Michael A

Philippians 2:16 holding fast to the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I may be proud that I did not run in vain or labor in vain. In this post, you will learn what the ‘word of life’ is and to what professed Christians are obligated in this world. You will also, certainly learn the value and necessity of reading the Bible. That is not the message of many churches in our time – they are sorely mistaken, proclaiming their man-centered gospel messages that cause hearers to be established in the Broad WAY of destruction.

Philippians 1:21 – For To Me To Live Is Christ, And To Die Is Gain

17 Apr 2022 Michael A

This post provides comments from two sources on Philippians 1:21. It is a very popular verse, but I formerly had a vague conception of its meaning. I decided to read commentaries on it today and thought I’d share those for others who also do not know exactly what riches it contains.

A Sight of Self – Charles Spurgeon Christian Audio Sermons

5 Apr 2022 Michael A

This post opens with the plight that many believers find themselves in, that their continued vows to stop sinning always fail. That scenario is clearly described, and a remedy is indicated. Sermon text is, Isaiah 64:6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. 7 And there is none that calleth upon thy name, that stirreth up himself to take hold of thee….

Ephesians 6:10-18 The Armor Of God – John Calvin Commentary Excerpts

2 Apr 2022 Michael A

The purpose of this post is to add some clarity to the concept of the ‘armor of God’ as the apostle Paul spoke of it in Ephesians 6. I recently came to a simpler understanding of it via listening to a couple of sermons of John Calvins and reading his commentary on 6:10-18. … Before writing this, I read through Calvin’s commentary on that passage of Ephesians 6, to ascertain that I heard him correctly. Excerpts from Calvin’s commentary will be used to make my point below, after I define ‘God’s appointed means of grace’ for those who do not know specifically what those are.
