Sown Among Thorns! – C. H. Spurgeon

28 Aug 2022 Michael A

I listened to the following sermon a few times over the past week because Spurgeon described the thorny soil of the heart so well. For some reason, I have never read commentaries on this section of scripture even though I have believed it to describe my own heart. In hearing Spurgeon’s specific description of that type of soil from Christ’s parable, I experienced conviction of sin. Highlight points are noted for the initial 24 minutes of this 48-minute sermon. Please take a few moments and read the highlights, you may be moved to hear the entire sermon

Philippians 4:8 Finally, Brethren, Whatsoever things are true…. Alexander MacLaren Commentary

9 Aug 2022 Michael A

This post contains comments from Alexander MacLaren on Philippians 4:8 and 9. I read it this morning after reading through Philippians. I believe that his comments are a prescription for the ailment of backsliding and commented on that while introducing the text. Also, some of his words describe current events which I commented on after MacLaren’s thoughts ended. If you have been struggling in your walk of faith, then you may find some specific direction and motivation herein.

Proclaiming The Gospel – The Ministry Of Former Roman Catholic Mike Gendron

2 Aug 2022 Michael A

Catholics have been indoctrinated with the premise that the Roman Catholic Church is the one true church founded by Christ 2000 years ago. They claim protestant churches began only 500 years ago. Are they correct? Is there a “one true church”? And if there is, can we identify the one true church? The answers to these important questions can be found throughout the New Testament. Mike’s argument consists of the following headings: Who Are Members of the True Church? The Professing Church Is Not the True Church; Roman Catholicism Is Not the True Church; There Is Only One Door to the True Church; The Spiritual Promises Given to the True Church; The Privileges of the True Church; and, The Protection of the True Church.

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.

Counting The Cost – Jeff Mayfield

23 Jul 2022 Michael A

This post contains a video by Jeff Mayfield that highlights chapter 5 of J C Ryle’s book, Holiness, Counting the Cost. Video highlights precede the video. Also, there are links to 7 other chapters of the book that Dr. Mayfield has explained. Today, I discovered that he also posts sermons from his church on a different site at YouTube, that is linked. He is currently preaching in Hebrews.

Backsliding – Reverend William Macleod

4 Jul 2022 Michael A

This post contains a 36-minute sermon by the Reverend William Macleod on backsliding. He defines it and discusses how it begins and how it can be remedied. Texts used include Hosea 14; and Hebrews 12. The sermon includes a 3-minute singing of Psalm 63. I had to divide the sermon into 3 sections, each is preceded with sermon highlights for those who’d rather read than listen; and for those who like to do both.

Why Are Most People Cowards? Obedience And The Rise Of Authoritarianism – Academy Of Ideas

12 Jun 2022 Michael A

The 12-minute video in this post clearly explains a major problem in America, the struggle between those who conform to social Marxism (subscribing to the political left, bowing to political correctness, blindly accepting their propaganda as truth…) and those who are not conforming. I have been writing about this problem but have not been able to put it in terms that this video uses; it clearly presents the matter and provides a solution.
After listening to the video, you will recognize that the solution is emerging at great cost to those involved; hopefully, more will take up the cause after it is clarified for them.

We Must Follow Christ, Not Ceasar – John MacArthur

12 Jun 2022 Michael A

This post contains a 5-minute video wherein Pastor John MacArthur explains that Christians must listen to God, not godless totalitarian government when it comes to whether or not the church closes its doors, and whatever else that is under the authority of God, per God. In other words, those Christians who shut the doors of their church at the direction of the state during the pandemic… are wrong and have disobeyed God….

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.
