Though this is not exegetical teaching, a street ‘preacher’ is also a ‘teacher’ (which is a gift of the Holy Spirit). Therefore, he will also teach the Text (Acts 8:26-40). This morning I preached from Acts 2:32-39, I will be using this text at various places throughout this holiday season. “This Jesus God has raised
When I saw the title of this video I was taken back, but I’m glad I watched it. Though the Doctrines of grace and other essential Doctrines are nonnegotiable, and we must unequivocally defend them. But to do so without God the Father, and/or Christ being “thee focal point,” frankly it is sin. In Revelation
My Cardiologist admonished me to lose more weight, but the good news is to counter my cardiomyopathy he is allowing me to “increase” my cardio exercise with more intensity. So I’m back on a bicycle. I love evangelizing Downtown Los Angeles (DTLA), but the traffic and parking is always a setback. So I have decided
Through this sermon many professing Christians were encouraged, many asked for prayer, one street preacher was encouraged to return to the streets; and one lady responded to the Gospel call. All private conversations were omitted. Understandably so a Christian asked me why I usually point my own fingers at myself, while telling the world how
When I was a baby Christian the late Dr. Adrian Rogers was one of my favorites (though not anymore). Here he tells Christians that inviting the unsaved to our church is unbiblical. That is why so many buildings that we wrongfully call “church” are full of false converts. Henceforth making Christianity look just like the
When I saw the below news article entitled “Revival hits army base with 1459 receiving Christ,” I just had to read it. Though there are many things wrong with this story, the following is my synopsis. Their so-called “found faith” is not something to be found. Faith is a gift from the Lord (Eph 2:7-9).
I decided to preach from this local news event. His father Ben is still in the hospital, please pray for him and others. I provided a link to this News story in the description field, or click on it here. Music ‘Power Within,’ by Epic Score.
Though it was short lived. An hour ago my wife and I (and four very scared dogs) heard the loudest thunder and lightning storm that we’ve ever heard in this part of Southern California. So while still in the dark, I turned our tablet on, and starting reading Scriptures about thunder. This was certainly one
Interesting moment with a Satanist to my left, and a “Priest” scholar Atheist on my right, both trying to shout me down. The prophetic words of 2 Peter 3:3 said the scoffers would come. “This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way
Whoever said Christianity is boring? What a mess this was. I almost gave up, but I’m thankful that He prevailed. I almost deleted this video, but perhaps the Lord might use this online later. The fellow that called the police was an advocate of today’s liberal social justice gospel, which is no Gospel at all.
Though Christians are commanded to preach the glorious Gospel, we also have a duty to oppose false teachings. We’re not called to make friends with the world, nor fellowship with them, nor invite them to “church.” We’re commanded to warn them, and sometimes you will push them away, because they are already dead in their
Sadly today when Christ’s bond slaves (aka Christians) obey this command (Holy Spirit willing), pseudō-Christians wrongfully call them a legalist, pharisee, or self-righteous. But I say to them, examine the Scriptures, and test yourself to see if you’re even saved (2 Corinthians 13:5-6). Even a couple of Elders I know (via social media), seem to
There seems to be a growing trend amongst professing Christians. An erroneous belief that somehow God gives a pass to all victims of murder. Brethren, our emotions should never change our Theology. Without equivocation, I believe in the Biblical doctrines of a ‘particular limited atonement,’ and ‘original sin.’ Which also means that ‘regardless of age,’
This is not a commentary, and it certainly is not a teaching of the below Scriptures; it is a general outline. If you have not yet done so, before you go any further, please first read my Gospel tract here. Is there an examination process that a professing Christian can use to help discern if
