When the internet came along, it became obvious that unexpected intrusions into our lives, families, and marriages increased. However since smartphones, and now social media, it seems there’s no limit to temptation, compromise, and/or the appearance of evil. That is why I informed my wife that at any time she is welcome to log-in to
God willing our Pastor did an excellent teaching on Acts 14:8-18. I gleamed much from this teaching, but I want to zoom-in on verse 15 (to God be all the glory). In summary Paul and Barnaba’s where in the city of Lystra, Paul miraculously healed a man. But the people that had witnessed this began
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

While warning that some of their parishioners might not of been saved, that not everyone whom goes to church, or ‘believes’ in Jesus is saved. I preached on what Jesus said

I just got back from spending an amazing seven days in Tennessee. My primary reason for going, was to attend Reforming America Ministries third annual two-day Reformation Preaching Conference, which was hosted at Calvary Bible Church in Joelton.
