Yesterday I began reading Dr. Sonny Hernandez’ latest book ‘High Calvinism: A Consistent Approach to Defend and Declare God’s Sovereignty.’ Frankly I couldn’t put it down, but I had to, because I had prior commitments. Thankfully I finished it today. There are many things certain about Dr. Sonny Hernandez. One of them is the masculinity
This morning I preached from Romans 8:28-30. I appreciate the woman that told me to “Speak it loud!” One man raised his hand in the middle of my sermon. I’m glad I ignored him, I later learned he is a Hebrew Israelite. Usually they are very aggressive, but this one was somewhat reasonable. Many engaged in
This sounds like a plot right out of a movie. Whereas 44 year old John Grazioli walks into a Catholic Church in Erie Pennsylvania, to confess to the priest that he had just shot and killed his wife. However while Grazioli is still on scene, the church notifies the police. The police arrive and take
It might be reasonable to say that public Heralds are the most criticized portion of the Lord’s Church, and sadly it frequently comes from professing Christians. The area that I am most criticized for by professing Christians, is that I often preach repentance. Professing Christians that are opponents of preaching repentance, will even wrongfully call
Biblical evangelism often involves ‘cleaning up false teachings,’ that have led others astray. No doubt hell will be full of false converts that believed in an ‘unlimited’ atonement. And most of them were ‘indirectly’ sent there by their own pastors (though Christ sends them there). Furthermore, there are many worldly teachings out there that teach
There is a dangerous trend on Facebook, which claims ‘Theology does not matter.’ I could not imagine a subject more important than the ‘study of God and His Word.’ In this short video Dr. Grudem better explains why. In addition to the Bible, I recommend the following reads on Systematic Theology (which I have in
I just added this new gem to my library. A book called “Christ Crucified: The Marrow of the Gospel in 72 Sermons on Isaiah 53.” It is a large book with over 700 pages containing 72 sermons on Isaiah chapter 53. But not just any sermons. These sermons were given by the 17th Century Scottish
Usually a Herald simply ‘preaches’ the Gospel, but if the crowd seems to be listening, and is not hostile, then perhaps we can try to ‘teach’ as well. Hence, in this video we have both street preaching, and street teaching to a long line of people. Music ‘Praise God from whom all blessings flow,’ by
Dr. Steve Lawson hits a home run in describing what it means to be ‘reformed.’ Too many of our postmodern pastors and Christians are either misled, or uneducated regarding this subject. As another said ~ “Of course, the Reformers themselves traced their doctrine to Scripture, as indicated by their credo of “sola scriptura,” so Reformed
This is a powerful sermon excerpt. As I’ve said many times before, an intellectual belief is not salvific. Dr. Morrow asks that important question. “Do you know God both intimately and intellectually? Jesus Christ didn’t die just to give you doctrine and insights into the nature of God; He died to bring us to God
