Martin Luther & Faith Alone / Imagine Believing We Don’t Need a Savior – Pastor Hines Podcast

21 Nov 2023 Michael A

This post contains a 10-minute podcast by Pastor Patrick Hines on the ‘righteousness of God.’ He frames it in terms of Martin Luther’s experience before he discovered this righteousness that God; how he discovered this righteousness; how it impacted him. In the middle of the podcast is a 3+ minute example of the typical thoughts a woman had on her way home from shopping; the example typifies human sinfulness and helplessness to enter into heaven without the imputation of Christ, our Savior’s righteousness to us and our trusting in that instead of anything we might do

ONGOING SIN – Pastor Paul Washer

29 Sep 2023 Michael A

In the video of this post, Paul Washer calmly communicates important points about ongoing sin in the daily Christian life. I found the video very encouraging and informative, and believe that others can also benefit from his insights on this major matter in the Christian life. [A list of bullet points precedes his video]

The Gospel of Jesus Christ – Booklet – by Paul Washer

27 Sep 2023 Michael A

This post is for people who aren’t quite clear on the gospel and want to know it better; or for those who have witnessed the gospel and want to also provide material for reviewing discussion points…. The initial couple of minutes of the video explaining Washer’s booklet cover the following points: who is God; what is man – it is essential that believers understand these two points from a biblical perspective; what God has done to satisfy His own justice and to simultaneously be able to show mercy to the wicked; why was the resurrection necessary; what does it mean to believe; how can you know that you believe; what does it mean to repent; how can you know that you actually have repented; what is assurance and how can you grow in it….

The Background for the Gospel Message – Pastor Patrick Hines – video short

26 Sep 2023 Michael A

The following 1-minute video short was excerpted from a recent podcast by pastor Hines: Romans 1:18-22 – God’s Wrath & Mercy, Man’s Truth Suppression. Herein, pastor Hines explains that the background for the biblical gospel message is God’s wrath against sin. He talked briefly about the ‘Christian Liberal’ message that is devoid of God’s wrath, as contested by J Gresham Machen in the early 20th century via his still very relevant book, Christianity and Liberalism:

The Fearful End of Ignorance – Studies in The Pilgrim’s Progress by Thomas Sullivan

10 Sep 2023 Michael A

This post is about a sermon on The Pilgrim’s Progress, focusing on the character ‘ignorance.’ The contents of the post emphasized how this is relevant to all Christians who are born again and walking in the WAY; in other words, on pilgrimage through the wilderness of this world. Highlight points identify the contents of the 40-minute sermon with some statements from the sermon. Also, there is a link to a post from last week that identifies all the characters in Bunyan’s book and concepts, themes…. Besides the Bible, Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress is the most meaningful book you will read about the Christian walk. It identifies many aspects of the Christian battle, especially diversions temptations, lies, false teachers… that take a believer off the true path. The believer must return to that path after becoming aware of being temporarily duped, deceived, tricked….

The Sinful Desire of Lust – Eros love – Mini-Series 3B

9 Sep 2023 Michael A

This post contains a 3-minute video by Dr. Heath Lambert about LUST. At the YouTube site, Zondervan, the video was titled, Why Can’t I Stop Watching Porn? He provides a biblical understanding of Lust and explains how it drives that craving for MORE. More money, power, material objects… porn. Those struggling from addiction of any kind will benefit from hearing his biblical explanation of the problem of lust. This post is a further explanation of eros love as described in post 3 of this mini-series. Dr. Spencer’s video is attached to this video also, it provides a thorough explanation of eros in the initial 4 moments of teaching; also, a video by Dr Spencer on lascivious is included; it identifies eros that has progressed to a near soul-damning state.

Basic Instructions For Battling Sin – Pastor Mayfield via John Owen

18 Aug 2023 Michael A

The two very brief videos in this post provide foundational instructions on battling sin from the works of John Owen. Pastor Mayfield explained that God wants Christians to sin less; that all Christians sin; that a Christian must seek God’s help via prayer to successfully fight sin…. The contents of these videos necessary building blocks for a Christian walk. These two videos are from a 17-part series, but stand alone. New and old Christians alike can benefit from what Pastor Mayfield explains because such things are not typically part of the Sunday church service….

Proverbs 5:22 The iniquities of the wicked ensnare him…. [Explained from Commentaries]

16 Aug 2023 Michael A

The two verses looked at in this post are some of the most frightening in the Bible. They are about those people who think they are getting away with sinning. These not only apply to the believer who is backsliding, but to those marauders who are doing smash and grabs; to those manipulators cheating to win elections; those malevolent globalists creating vaccines to harm others and rid the earth of them, or who are orchestrating famines to accomplish that end… but they are God’s words to all who think they can get away with sinning: the act of sin carries its own punishment. [I reviewed these for my own edification, as my attitude towards some sins is not yet biblical; hopefully, others will find this post worthy of contemplating.]
