Spiritual Depression – By Martyn Lloyd-Jones – Chapter 2 Excerpts, Post 2

11 Aug 2022 Michael A

This post provides excerpts concerning Martyn Lloyd-Jones second principle of chapter two from his book, Spiritual Depression. Recently, I posted excerpts of the first part of that chapter and have decided to provide the latter part also, so that readers might have a fuller taste of this classic book. The words of this post emphasize how God the Father made Christ a propitiation for sin; Jones calls this his second principle of chapter 2. His discussion in this chapter is of necessary prerequisites to knowing spiritual joy…such that one is not depressed spiritually.

Mercy For Those Who Wander – Jeff Mayfield

29 Jul 2022 Michael A

The following 4-minute video excerpt of a Jeff Mayfield sermon provides much encouragement for backsliders to return to the Lord. You may not view yourself as a backslider, but if you realize that your walk of faith is not what it ought to be, listen and get some encouragement to draw near to the Lord.

The Christian’s Struggle with Sin – Jeff Mayfield, Stony Hill Baptist Church

23 Jul 2022 Michael A

I just discovered Dr. Mayfield’s church site on YouTube today and was exploring it when I found this 4-minute video on sin. He apparently closed a sermon with this message. I am posting it because I rarely hear pastors talk about sin as he does in the video. He described what the born-again Christian experience is like.

Why Is The Bible So Violent – Ask Pastor John

4 Jul 2022 Michael A

A question was asked Pastor John from Judges 19 and it was phrased in terms of the title above.

In the following 13-minute video, Pastor John provided three reasons for the violence in the Bible. [The following points are summarized highlights from the video; Piper’s words are used in part.] There two phrases in the book of Judges that provide a glimpse into the answer to this question, they are 1) in those days, there was no king in Israel; and 2) In those days, everyone did what was right in his own eyes. His big point under this heading was that the river of evil flowing from the human heart runs wild without the dam of civil authority to keep it from spilling over onto the entire earth….

If You’re A Christian, Are You Still A Sinner?

2 Jul 2022 Michael A

The 94-second video in this post uses scripture to explain how it is that Christians are still sinners.

The Enemy Within By Kris Lundgaard – Book Sampling

8 Jun 2022 Michael A

This post contains an excerpt of chapter 1 of Kris Lundgaard’s book, The Enemy Within. He greatly simplified concepts on mortification of sin, such as found in the works of John Owen. There is also a book highlight from P&R Books. If you are struggling with sin, then you will likely gain much from this post and the book, which I highly recommend.

Mortification Of Sin – John Owen Via Dr. Carl Trueman

5 Jun 2022 Michael A

This post has a video-excerpt of Dr. Carl Trueman speaking on the mortification of sin. The excerpt is the final minutes of part 2 of a 5-part series Trueman was teaching on mortification of sin via the work of John Owen. This excerpt is intended to introduce readers to Dr. Trueman and mortification of sin; and it also emphasized something about the Christian battle against sin that is not generally known in the contemporary church, it is a life-long battle that must be fought.

1Corinthians 6:18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body….

8 May 2022 Michael A

When I did the recent miniseries, I forgot that the most powerful commentary I found on 1 Corinthians 6:9-20, was on verse 18, and not by MacArthur, but by Albert Barnes. Before pasting in Barnes’ comments, I provided the definition of the Greek word, ‘porneia’ which was translated ‘fornication’ by the KJV – look at the featured image to quickly get that definition.

Two One-Minute Meditations On Sin

8 May 2022 Michael A

This post contains two 1-minute videos by different pastors on sin; these are very informative and excellent for meditation. The thoughts in each video should aid one in self-observation and in obtaining a biblical perspective on sin. Contemporary Christianity falls miserably short regarding any aspect of dealing with personal sin.

The Doctrine of Hell: What 7 Popular Christian Pastors Teach About Hell

12 Mar 2022 Michael A

The following words are from the vlogger who made the video in this post: “Significant video editing was used to create a unique storyline that teaches about pastors who do and don’t teach about hell. With appearances by Joel Osteen, Rob Bell, Brian McLaren, Carlton Pearson, Paul Washer, John MacArthur, and Voddie Baucham.” [The chief distinction between these two groups of pastors is that one group preaches biblical doctrine because they possess faith; the other preaches their opinions about Bible doctrine based on reason, sometimes. Which group is your pastor most like?]
