This morning I preached from Matthew 18:1-4. One woman in line objected to the message, and made some comments. A second woman that is a “Theology major,” objected to my preaching. So she took a poll from the crowd to see if I should continue preaching (or not). To find out what the results of
I think it’s reasonable to say that marijuana is not only this man’s drug of choice, but it is idolatry. It wasn’t until I mentioned marijuana that he desired to shut down my preaching. It is my policy to generally ignore hecklers, but I fell on my own sword here, and so I own it,
Dr. Voddie Baucham is teaching thru a series on the ‘doctrine of salvation.’ Here he talks about the ‘covenant of redemption,’ as he preaches from John chapter 17. I don’t believe anyone’s ever asked me “why are you a Christian,” but perhaps the most God centered – God glorifying answer I could give, is this.
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). When Jesus commanded Christians to go out and make disciples
The photographs and video footage used in this video, are from my own personal files. In this expository teaching I go over (including but not limited to) 1. DAVID’S TRIALS (AND OURS) A. The Multiplicity of His Foes (vs 1) B. The Malignity of His Foes (vs 2) 2. DAVID’S TRUST (AND OURS) A. His
This wonderful lady asked me to omit her remarks. To be more specific, salvation is the Divine monergistic work of the Holy Trinity. Salvation comes to others as the Father ‘chooses whom He elects.’ He draws them (gives them) to His Son for redemption (John 6:37-44; 17:2, 6, 9, 24). Christ then redeems them from
In this passage we teach, learn, or reaffirm (including but not limited to), about the driven, the doomed, and the damned (they are contrary to verses 1-3). We also learn more about Gods judgment, hell, and His wrath. We learn about the incidents of false converts in our congregations, and the ‘unbiblical soteriologies,’ that create
As I prepared for this expository study (other than one scholar), I studied under the teachings of scholars from the 1400’s up to the 1800’s. Therefore, this teaching will not be ‘watered down’ with contemporary fruffles. We will learn of the dangers of ‘walking’ with non-saved ‘friends.’ We will also learn how to ‘Biblically’ love
