What Is Free Will? R. C. Sproul

10 Aug 2021 Michael A

In Sproul’s lecture, he began by describing the humanistic concept of free will; then he described the biblical view of free will via the writings of Jonathan Edwards; Martin Luther; and St. Augustine; finally, he provided his own brief description. The crux of his lecture was that motive (inclination, intention, desire) precedes choice; and to have the ability to choose is free will. He explained further, that mankind’s ability to choose was impacted by the fall; and he clarified how our choice-making has been impacted.

Final Justice: The Return of Christ, Part 1, Dr. John MacArthur

15 Jun 2021 Michael A

Dr. MacArthur began a series on the return of Christ and the real justice that will then be experience by dwellers on the earth. Those not in Christ, will not want to experience that justice. He discussed numerous chapters of Revelation, in part, during the course of this 28 minute sermon. If you are not very familiar with Revelation, then this sermon will give you an overview of sorts. Furthermore, he wants to refocus Christians who are wasting their energy thinking about fixing this planet and establishing man’s justice; because all of that will be undone when Christ returns. For those who do not have 28 minutes to spend, sermon highlight points precede the sermon.

The War in Heaven | Revelation 12 | John MacArthur

16 May 2021 Michael A

Did you know that at the present time Satan is not in hell? In fact, did you know that he has never been to hell? And did you know that when he finally does get to hell, he’s not going to be in charge? In fact, when the devil gets to hell, he will be the lowest being there. He will be assigned the most horrible punishment of any creature ever made. He is not the king of hell, he is not in hell, and he’s never been there. In fact, he spends most of his time, according to this text, where? In heaven. …In fact, he’s going to be more devastatingly active on earth than at any other time because the theater of his operation is going to be confined to the earth. [During the great tribulation]

This post aims to define faith (via excerpts from Dr. J. Piper; and Dr. S. Ferguson). The excerpt by Piper is more about the battle of faith against unbelief; it provides insight into how unbelief derails a Christian; Piper also confronts a common social doctrine held by mainstream Christians; Ferguson’s 2 minute video provides the best definition of faith I have heard, it is an excerpt of a Ligonier Bible class. The 32 minute sermon from which the Piper excerpt was taken is also provided for those who would know more.
