Combat Between the Flesh and the Spirit – Puritan Christopher Love

30 May 2024 Michael A

This post contains 3 videos: a video short, a 17-minute excerpt of the full sermon from which the short came; and the full-length sermon. The Puritan Christopher Love addressed the matter of the Holy Spirit’s work in sanctifying the believer. He focused on two aspects: what the Spirit does to dissuade a believer from sinning; and what the Spirit does to sanctify the believer after he has sinned. Every Christian needs to understand this matter as well as possible such that he/she is receptive to the Spirit’s workings. Highlights are provided for the 17-minute excerpt; a link to some posts in this blog about Jonathan Edwards addressing these matters, but Edwards was not as thorough as Love.

Jesus’ Teaching on Marriage and Gender – Things Unseen – Sinclair Ferguson

11 Apr 2024 Michael A

This post contains a 6-minute video by Pastor Sinclair Ferguson which clarifies Jesus’ teaching on gender and marriage. With all the confusion in the 21st century church, he is a voice of reason that stands with God, His word and His Messiah. You may do what you want, but there are consequences, as Ferguson indicated in the brief video. Also, as some recently tried to say about Ferguson and other evangelicals from across the pond, their compassion is actually in line with God’s, not with man’s.

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.

Christian Affliction… Being Exercised… Blessed Fruits — C H Spurgeon

16 Feb 2024 Michael A

C H Spurgeon’s three sermon points were: the outward appearance of our trials; blessed fruitfulness of trials; and those exercised by trials. It is a 45-minute sermon that mentioned points I had never heard on this topic. The section about being exercised is very beneficial to know if you are in the midst of trials. All Christians will eventually be there. There are sermon highlights, and several term definitions.

The One-World Religion is Here – Pastor Michael Grant

4 Feb 2024 Michael A

The 12-minute video of this post is by Pastor Michael Grant. Therein, he explained the coming one-world government, religion and economic system. He used scripture and current events to provide a meaningful and understandable foundation for Christians to build upon. [Since even the most prominent theologians of the church, past and present, disagree widely on the subject of ‘end times,’ it is difficult to draw conclusions about that period of time. However, as a Bible student, I believe that Pastor Grant’s points are valuable to understanding any of the major views.]

What does it mean to trust in Jesus? – Got Questions dot org

3 Feb 2024 Michael A

This brief article from Got Questions Ministries gives a thorough answer to what it means to ‘trust in Jesus.’ I am certain that if you are answering that question with your own reason, that you have answered in an incomplete way. Furthermore, most ideas about Christianity that are floating around in the social sphere are very wrong. Just read through the Bible and you will begin to see that. Mainstream, seeker friendly churches also err greatly. So, please spend 5 minutes of your time and get the correct answer.
