In this chapter we will see God’s sovereignty and the Doctrine of the Trinity throughout. We will also see the doctrines of predestination, election, limited atonement (a particular atonement), intersession, the preeminence of Christ, and the perseverance of the saints. We will divide this ‘priestly prayer’ and this sermon into three parts, In verses 1-5
This is the message I preached today at my Church. I pray the Lord will use it to either edify, exhort, and/or convict all of us, including those on the internet. Though it is an exposition of Psalm 91, I taught much on the viruses and plagues mentioned in the Scriptures. I also shared important
In this Podcast I tell why I no longer believe that I am nothing but a “worm in God’s hand.” I teach what sanctification is, and what it is not. That sanctification is a Doctrine that’s rarely taught or understood these days, and perhaps why. I teach why there is no salvation without sanctification. I
These great commands by our Lord are rarely truly applied, obeyed and/or practiced (at least from my observations). Therefore I put this sermon together for the Lord’s people. I did an exposition of the Text, and shared several experiences, and how I applied this passage to them. The sermon notes to this teaching are available
Sadly today when Christ’s bond-slaves (aka Christians) actually obey this command (Holy Spirit willing), carnal 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 Elders I know (via social media), seem to
Perhaps this might be the most important message I’ve ever uploaded to YouTube? Over the years we’ve heard this parable taught by many Bible teachers. But often times the teacher places too much emphasis on Israel, the wedding, the bride, the groom, and/or their culture. When in fact many teachers failed to concentrate on the
Though Christians should be engaged in our culture, as we love our neighbor, but not without being ‘salt and light.’ Apparently many don’t understand what being ‘salt and light’ truly is (according to the Scriptures). Furthermore, Christians are commanded to go out and preach (or share) the glorious Gospel, that is the paramount remedy. Having
May I add my own personal thoughts. The Doctrine of Sanctification is very important to me. I pray daily for more sanctification, and I also pray the same for specific Christians. Though salvation is monergistic, sanctification is synergistic (Holy Spirit willing). Though a Christian is saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone,
As I labor though this expository teaching through the Psalms, I am confronted with verses 4-5 of chapter 5, and the Doctrine of God’s hatred of sin, as well as His hatred of some sinners (ouch). I also share the thoughts of many notable Theologians. I give an explanation and application of the Text, as
I say amen, but may I add this. That word “dead” in trespasses’ (in Eph 2:4-5) comes from the Greek work ‘nekrós’ (νεκρός), it is an adjective. By short definition this ‘nekrós’ means that before a person was saved (born-again), they were ‘metaphorically and spiritually’ DEAD, dead as a corpse in a graveyard. They are
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
I first saw this video today on the ‘Two Wine Theory’ Facebook page. I then contacted Bible Baptist Church, and they were gracious enough to provide me with the embedded code for my web site. I am posting this with the expectation that his ‘part two’ will not compromise. 😉 Thank you Dr. Stone for
