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
This morning I almost went off-roading, I’m glad I did not. Today at this location I preached from Revelation 20:11-15 and Romans 8:35-39. I warned the crowd that many of them will experience God’s wrath, judgment and that “with violence,” Jesus will throw them into the lake of fire. I pleaded for them to ‘repent
I agree with Brother Rusty’s message, however may I add these three points. #1 the unsaved world is doing exactly what we should expect from them. That is why the Lord’s Church must ‘go out’ and preach the glorious Gospel (the whole counsel of God). Yes I believe ministries should be under a plurality of
As it says in Jude, Christians are to “contend for the faith.” But it seems there’s an increasing need to ‘contend for soberness’ and sanctification amongst the brethren. I was told by a Pastor (who is a user, and ‘proponent’ of alcohol consumption), that he looks forward to, and “can’t wait” to literally drink “fine
As Joe Rigney stated “Because when another faithful ministry becomes a fruitful ministry, the envious pastor sees a threat, a rival. The Gospel driven pastor sees reinforcement.” Disclaimer: One of the men that Rigney cited as a leader or pillar was Piper. I no longer subscribe to Piper (reason here).
A truly saved Christian will be willing to lay down their life for the cause of Christ. According to the description field, “Philip Powell was born in 1939. He went to glory on Sunday 26th April 2015. Born in Wales he met a lot of gifted servants of God in his youth which impacted his
The following are additional remarks that I forgot to mention in this video. I’ll be resting this week. My Ejection Fraction has increased from 20% to 40%, I am so thankful for that progress. But I still have Cardiomyopathy, COPD, Congestive Heart Failure / Systolic Heart Failure, and I still rejoice in that. Lord willing
A colleague asked me to read and comment on J. Warner Wallace’s below article, which he published on April 24th, 2017. After reading this article, I decided to make my comments public. I have much more to say, but to avoid being too critical, I will refrain from many comments. But first is Wallace’s article.
In the first 30 seconds you will see a Satanist wearing Easter bunny ears aggressively assault my friend Ronnie Cardiel. Take note that as soon as Ronnie recovers from this attack, he rejoices saying “Oh praise God, thank You Lord!” This is the book of Acts in action. Recover – Rejoice – and Regroup. This
In this video I share some of my Bible study tools, and an exhortation to study the Word of God on your own. Correction: I truly chopped up the years / centuries. My commentaries go back as far as the 1500’s.
This is a must read for Christians. Yes this is a serious problem today, as so many ‘professing’ Christians compromise. But I would be careful shifting all the blame to the “church.” The Lords truly saved blood bought born-again church is beautiful. The problem is due to unbiblical Soteriologies, these buildings that we wrongfully call
While waiting for my next heart procedure, I frequently distribute lots of Gospel tracts, and engage in ‘one on ones.’ But this morning while tracking, I learned that the two preachers whom minister at this location (my former fishing hole), would not be there today. Since my heart is currently more predictable (Lord willing due
