Holiness, by J C Ryle, SIN, Part 2

29 Nov 2021 Michael A

The purpose of this post is to provide a biblical definition of sin. I believe this is important because mainstream Christianity focuses on grace, believing they can ignore the Old Testament, sin, hell-fire preaching…. If you have read through the Bible, then you know that they are making up their way as they go along. They are on the wide road that leads to destruction, according to Jesus in Matthew 7. When Jesus opened His ministry in Matthew 4, His first words were, Repent and believe the gospel. To repent of known sin, one must know how to define it first of all….

David: Sin and Repentance (4 0f 4) – Kenneth Stewart Sermon

1 Nov 2021 Michael A

David wanted his heart renewed because he did not like how his sin had changed him; that is, sin was an expression of his character, BUT it also made his heart worse – it derives from what a person is, yet it also makes one worse. We are not in a static state; we are deteriorating as a person if we are not going forward and improving; that is, in your sanctification, unless you are working to go forward, then you are backsliding; one cannot stand still in the Christian race. David knew that he had harmed his soul and he wanted God to make him the kind of person he was before, a consistent, god-fearing person. Are you a Christian who no longer has zeal, earnestness, passion for Christ? Are you praying that God would give that to you again?

A Better Sacrifice – Pastor Patrick Ramsey

25 Oct 2021 Michael A

In his 24 minute sermon, Pastor Ramsey clarified the great differences between the old covenant and the new covenant. The net result of Jesus’ better sacrifice is that as the mediator of this new covenant His sacrifice is final, complete, effective and powerful. But those words are empty if you have no understanding of the covenants and how they differ; and what blessings the new covenant holds for believers. Please listen and bolster your knowledge of the entire Bible

Only Bad People Can Go To Heaven; That Is, You Must Know You Are A Sinner….

24 Oct 2021 Michael A

The following short sermon was preached today by Alistair Begg; he titled it, The Crown Of Righteousness. I got the above title from a statement he made during the sermon – those words should appeal to people who may believe they are too bad for heaven; that is, they could be helped greatly by hearing what Begg had to say.

R C Sproul articulated a secular psychiatrist’s argument against Jesus’ statements in the Sermon on the Mount; the psychiatrist believed Jesus to be saying that lustful thoughts are equivalent with adultery; R C explains the man’s errors. If you have never thought much about the degrees of sin and righteousness spoken of in scripture, then you will obtain much insight from this teaching video

The Believer’s Lifelong Battle for Holiness – Dr. John MacArthur

4 Oct 2021 Michael A

The MacArthur sermon in this post is preceded by a list of highlights for those who don’t have 45 minutes to listen. He answered many questions that believers have about what it means to walk in Spirit; about justification, sanctification and salvation. He also delved into pietism and the holiness movement; and legalism; these topics were considered to narrow down the meaning of true walking in the Spirit, as the others are common sideroads. If you are a new Christian, this sermon is worth coming back to many times, bookmark it.
