False Christian teachings, trends….
The video of this post is from the YouTube site, Benny Johnson, linked below. This YouTube independent news outlet discusses the ruling and gets into the SCOTUS vote, A C Barrett, in particular. He also shows very brief video clips of Holman and Miller regarding rogue federal judges.
Stephen Miller always has a sound take on political events. Also, he provided the best definition of “constitutional crisis” I have heard, he said: when the unelected federal judiciary and the unelected bureaucrats call the shots, then we do not have a democracy [paraphrase]. That is why those two groups are so alarmed and attempting to block President Trump’s agenda all the time. In the following 3-minute excerpt, he provides another sound explanation:
Spurgeon’s words for today offer a hopeful perspective for running the Christian race and insight into where one’s help lies.
The April newsletter discusses the following topics: Glory to God For One Million in Circulation; The Inspiration Came from a Crisis of Faith; Catholic Authorities Are Conflicted; Two Paths to Eternity; Reaching Catholics for Christ; and more.
The Martyn Lloyd-Jones sermon in this post is a careful description of the shield of faith. The sermon overview and points written by MLJTrust cover most of MLJ’s points. If you are trying to actually learn how to use the shield of faith, then I would recommend that you hear the sermon….
In this sermon on Ephesians 6:14 titled “Marching Orders,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones shows how they should view the world in light of their life in Christ. …Dr. Lloyd-Jones moves on to focus on the importance of preparation: preparing for a place in heaven means casting off the works of darkness and putting on the armor of God. It means spending time and energy on preparing for the future home rather than using it on the temporary home….
The Bible has made it clear that the life of the Christian will not be one of ease, but a continuous battle against the evil one. In order to live in victory, one must put on the breastplate of righteousness. The question, then, is how does one do this? …He begins by stating that putting on the breastplate of righteousness can be equated to putting on Jesus and walking in the Spirit. …Walking in the Spirit shows that the Christian is a new creation in Christ and has made Him the master rather than themselves….
Spurgeon’s Morning commentary is on the following verse: “Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered.” — Heb_5:8. His Evening thoughts are about this verse: Song of Solomon 5:6 I opened to my beloved; but my beloved had withdrawn himself, and was gone: my soul failed when he spake: I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer. [The morning thoughts are in line with the MLJ sermon which will be posted later today.]
I’ve listened to several YouTubers on this topic and this one does one of the best jobs showcasing the range of the lawbreakers involved in vandalizing Teslas. You have grandmothers, mothers, fathers, children all involved. Then there are the more militant actors using guns and Molotov cocktails to destroy property. One thing is common to all these lawbreakers, they have been motivated by political affiliations. The democrat progressive (Marxist) party is pushing violence, as in the ‘summer of love’ 2020.
Dr. Lloyd-Jones explains how putting on the breastplate of righteousness means looking to Jesus and following His example. …A Christian’s job is to follow the example of their Savior, and the breastplate of righteousness is what helps them do this by reminding them that Jesus has imputed and imparted His righteousness to them…. [Something that MLJ mentioned numerous times in his sermon, which is not clearly emphasized in the points is that selfishness is of the Devil. Upon hearing MLJ make comments about selfishness, I thought of Aleister Crowley’s law of Thelema, “Do What Thou Wilt.” I think the babyboomer generation and every generation since, has been dedicated to doing just that. Such a lifestyle is in opposition to the WAY of Christ….]
