Portland One:16 Bible Church: Recent Episodes
Charlie Kirk fought a good fight. He went into the public square and proclaimed Jesus and His moral standard...unto death. This is a MUST HEAR sermon. My voice is shot from the public declaration of Christ, His Gospel, and His moral standard. Nevertheless, the truth of Romans 1:16 went forth with strength that is not my own. There are many lamenting Charlie Kirk's death, many jumping on his bloody coat tails, but will we do what Jesus did, the Apostles did, George Whitefield did, and Charlie Kirk did? Will we stand up for Jesus courageously? Will we not be ashamed of the Gospel of Christ? Will we go therefore? Or will we just be pretenders and cowards who watch Mrs. Kirk pick up where her husband fell on the field of battle? May God wake up His Church through the violent and bloody death of Charlie Kirk and send her forth with strength, courage, and genuine love for Jesus and perishing sinners! May God raise up a million men to stand in the public square in Charlie Kirk's place! This is NOT my final sermon on Charlie Kirk, his life, his mission, his death, the evil of Leftist/Woke/Trans ideology, and God's plan to turn the world upside down through the public proclamation of His truth. God willing, that will be preached next Sunday. I simply did not have time to prepare properly this Sunday.
The day is coming when all Israel will bend the knee to the Good Shepherd, the King of kings, the King of the Jews! This is the plain teaching of Scripture. This isn't Zionist or Dispensationalist propaganda. John Calvin, Matthew Henry, Jonathan Edwards, Charles Spurgeon, J.C. Ryle, and a great cloud of Bible believing, prophecy believing, Biblical Covenant believing saints have faithfully declared this certain truth...the truth that Zechariah 12-13 makes abundantly clear. God will fulfill His prophecies and uphold His covenant with Israel as a nation. Jews and Gentiles will be united under the blood of the Lamb! "I will refine them like silver and test them like gold. They will call on my name and I will answer them; I will say, They are my people,' and they will say, 'The Lord is our God.'" -Zech. 13:9
God will keep His promise. Prophecy will be fulfilled. All Israel will be washed in the blood of the Lamb!
When the fullness of the gentiles have come in ALL ISRAEL WILL BE SAVED! The Messiah, Jesus Christ, is coming again. The Day of the Lord is coming! All prophecy will be fulfilled! All Biblical Covenants will be kept! The King of kings and Lord of lords will will crush His enemies, Jew and gentile alike. Christ will conquer the world and rule in Zion. All Israel will be saved and a great many gentiles too! Israel's entire population is less than 10 million souls. There are less than 16 million Jews on the entire planet. Israel and the Jews are NOT attempting to conquer the world. Israel and the Jews are NOT secretly ruling America! That is absurd anti-Israel, anti-Jew propaganda. Israel and the Jews are NOT the pernicious parasitic evil on the planet responsible for every evil (porn, homosexuality, child trafficking, etc.). Israel and the Jews are NOT responsible for the evil of Islamic jihad. Those are absurd, often repeated, anti-Israel, anti-Jew lies. When your favorite "reformed" podcaster, YouTube guru, or preacher is aligned more with Adolf Hitler and Hamas regarding Israel and the Jews than Jesus Christ, the Apostle Paul, and the Great Commission…you need to find a new favorite. When your Covenant theology cancels God's Biblical New Covenant promises and perverts them you need to cancel your anti-Covenant Theology and embrace Biblical Covenant Theology. This isn't what is now popularly called "evil Zionism," it's just what the Bible clearly says. Don't dismiss me as an "evil Dispensationalist." I'm a Bible believing Christian who really wanted to be in the cool Covenant Theology club, but couldn't bring myself to cancel God's Biblical Covenants. Here I stand.
A Memorial Day message for soldiers of the cross! Has God enlisted you as a soldier of the cross or to sit in a comfy Christian easy chair playing Bible trivia until you die and go to the great Bible trivia game in the sky? Did God save you to ever refine and argue secondary theological matters or to make much of Christ and His Gospel as a Christian soldier? What does "Jump on the grenade!" mean to Christian soldiers? What can we learn from brave young soldiers about the ministry of the Gospel? Listen in and find out!
Have you ever thought it would be amazing to have an inheritance given to you from a long lost billionaire relative who created and owns a Fortune 500 company? Aim higher! If you're in Christ...you have an eternal inheritance from the creator and owner of the cosmos who isn't some long lost distant relative, but God your Father!
A word on Roman Catholic anti-Christ heresy, evangelizing Roman Catholics, Doug Wilson's Romish anti-Gospel heresy, and his CREC denomination's ongoing anti-Christ ecumenical counter-reformation! Follow the link below to hear the message.
Are you struggling, dear mother? Here's hope! Are you strong, dear mother? Here's encouragement to hold fast and press on! Are you broken, dear mother? Here's a life ring!
Paedobaptism is contrary to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Paedobaptism is contrary to the Great Commission of Jesus Christ. Paedobaptism is not in the Bible. Paedobaptism is either dangerous error or damning heresy (depending on the individual) and needs to be exposed as such for love of Christ, His Church, and a multitude of perishing paedobaptists who are trusting in sacramental sprinkling and Jesus in the same soul damning way the Judaizers of Galatia were trusting in circumcision and Jesus (See Gal. 1:6-10 & 5:1-6). Baptism is the immersion of Holy Spirit regenerated and indwelt repentant Gospel believing confessors of Jesus Christ as Lord in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit! Sprinkling unregenerate, unconscious, unrepentant, unbelieving, unconfessing babies and then pronouncing them covenant bound Christians is not baptism. The Bible knows nothing of this. The antichrist heretical Roman Catholic Church knows it well and has been glad to lend it to a great many professing "reformed" Christians who have failed to apply Sola Scriptura and Semper Reformanda to their doctrine and practice of baptism. Just as love demands that we call our Roman Catholic neighbors to repent of their heretical baptism and believe the Gospel...love demands that we call many of our Protestants neighbors to repent of their heretical baptism and believe the Gospel. May God be pleased to purify, protect, and reform His Church.
Our battle cry isn't, "Go to church!" Our battle cry is, "Go therefore!" Learning from elderly 85 year old Caleb how to "Go Therefore!" in the service of King Jesus to advance the Kingdom of God courageously!
Biblical encouragement for Christ's soldiers and Biblical rebuke for those who are running from the battle. Vital Great Commission lessons from the boy named David and his epic battle with Goliath. Much of the Church is cowering before the giants of our day just as Israel's army cowered before Goliath. Who will stand up with the faith of the shepherd boy, march across the valley, and engage giant anti-Christ Marxism, giant atheism, giant LGBT, giant BLM, giant Islam, giant Catholicism, giant Mormonism, giant Watchtower, and all their giant brothers with faith in the one true God and His omnipotent Word-- Who will unleash the lion of God's Word in the streets-- Who will unsheathe the omnipotent Sword of the Spirit and wield it on the battlefield-- Who will -go therefore- and turn the world upside down-- Who will continue to make every excuse not to-- Who will continue to watch the world burn and their neighbors perish in apathy-- Who will hear the Word of God, repent of Great Commission rebellion, and -go therefore- to make Christ's name great in the earth-----
God's men will always fight the good fight- Cowards will always oppose them- Praise be to God, there's hope for cowards, for God can and will make men and warriors out of cowards- There's a war on- Satan's armies march to war every day. Satan's armies take souls and cities every day. Satan's armies fight to win. Christ's Church is to march to war every day, win souls and cities every day, and fight a good fight to win ground for Christ and against evil every day- Let us stand up and fight like men of God for the eternal souls of men and for the temporal blessing of mankind-
The Lord Jesus knew -the best defense is a good offense- long before men discovered it on the battlefield or sports field. That's why He commanded us to -Go therefore and make disciples of every nation-- Christ's Church is to be perpetually on the offense- We don't need another conference on Cessationism. We need men full of the Holy Spirit's power and love to -Go therefore-- and preach God's Word wherever perishing sinners are found- We don't need another Reformation tour or conference. We need real reformers to -Go therefore-- and preach God's Law and Gospel to bring spiritual reformation to the souls of men and the nations of this world- We don't need another book on a secondary theological issue. We need God's men to obey God's book by obeying Christ's Great Commission command to make disciples of -every nation-- We don't need God's men to merely fret about evil advancing in the world. We need God's men to act like men and -Go therefore-- to fill the world with the glory of Christ and His Gospel...calling all men, everywhere to repent and believe the Gospel-
Hey pastors and churches...there's a war on- Satan and his anti-Christ Globalist Marxist, BLM, ANTIFA, LGBT, Muslim armies are at war against God, His Word, His Gospel, His Church, and Western civilization too. They're fighting to win every day everywhere all over the earth. They're marching to war to take individual souls, families, cities, and entire nations. They aren't playing or pretending, they're fighting to win. Most pastors, churches, and Christians aren't fighting at all. They're avowed anti-Great Commission spiritual pacifists. They're not going to soil themselves or Christ's good name by getting in a Gospel fight. They refuse to fight the -good fight- that Christ commands them to fight. They're just going to complain about the world while they watch it burn...or close their eyes and stop their ears so can't see the flames and hear the cries of the perishing...while they drink their latte, eat another donut, think spiritual happy thoughts, and look forward to their next worship service or Christian conference. God rebuke such hateful apathy- If you're not in the fight -and most aren't- repent and get in the fight for the glory of God in the redemption of sinners as if eternal souls and Western civilization depend upon it...because they do-
Our neighbors and nations are perishing- What's the answer to the post-Christian Western World's anti-God, anti-Christianity, anti-Bible, anti-Law, anti-Gospel, anti-Truth cultural revolution-- What are pastors, churches, and individual Christians supposed to do to stop the rampant rise of evil and decline of Christianity in the West-- Are we supposed to stop it at all-or is that dangerous Christian Nationalism talk-- Do we simply give up and hole up until Christ returns-- How are we to respond to the growing hostility towards God, the Bible, the truth, and Christians-- What are we supposed to do about it-- What is Christ's command to pastors and churches----- 2 Timothy 4-5 provides the answer, -endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry-- We need churches that tell their pastor to unchain the Word of God from the pulpit and to -Go therefore- and turn the world upside down with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, preaching God's Law and Gospel in the highways and byways in obedience to Christ...or to go find another job- We need churches that require a man to preach the Word in the open air like the prophets, Jesus, and the Apostles before they allow him to preach the Word in the pulpit- We need valiant men who run toward the Gospel battle in obedience to the Great Commission instead of trampling it under their cowardly feet as they run away from the battle- We need Christian wives who tell their husbands that they'd rather be married to a dead man than a living coward...and to come back with their shield or on it- We need men who study, pray, and then actually stand up and -Go therefore-- as if eternal souls and Western Civilization depend on it-
Behold the Lamb of God and worship Him- He's all glorious- He's all powerful- He's mighty to save- He takes away the sin of the world-
What is strange glory-- How is it part of the Christian life-- Why is it so tragically rare-- What is your personal experience of this strange glory--
How is Christian joy strange-- What does it have to do with suffering-- What relationship does it have with the Great Commission-- How is Christian joy related to our ever changing circumstances--
Strange Christianity--- What is strange Christianity-- What Christianity turned the world upside down-- What Christianity gives Christians victory through persecution and suffering-- What is the Apostle Peter talking about in 1 Peter 4-12 and how does it apply to our Christian lives--
WHAT IS GOING ON--- The double-mindedness and hypocrisy in the -ShepCon2024 Truth Triumphs Conference is staggering. John Piper has been pulpit sharing and conference slumming with a who's who of sketchy, female, cursing, pervert, heretic preachers for years. He NEVER should have been invited to speak at the Shepherds' Conference and he should be immediately disinvited with a clear explanation as to why. --In a truly sad and shocking display of double-mindedness, Pastor John MacArthur just publicly declared TGC-T4G-MLK50 and the men associated with it to be -Christianity astray-- --https---twitter.com-i-status-1759628155160084963-. Yet, John Piper is a diehard -TGC, -T4G man- was a -MLK50 speaker- is a promoter and defender of -BethMoore, -DougWilson, -NTWright, -MarkDriscoll, -TimKeller, and -SamAllberry- and is a pulpit sharer with -MattChandler, -LigonDuncan, and the rest of the -woke -socialjustice compromised who's who crowd. MacArthur's duplicity has made the Shepherd's Conference and his own pulpit an open door for John Piper and TGC's liberal, egalitarian, woke, social justice, same-sax attracted Christian apostasy that MacArthur rightly judged as -Christianity astray-- --What is our pastoral duty in light of these tragic and indisputable facts-- In obedience to the Lord's command to elders in Titus 1-9, our duty is to -by sound doctrine, both to exhort and convict those who contradict-- To speak truth in love- To warn God's people- To call for and pray for the repentance of all those directly involved and those defending or willfully turning a blind eye to the Truth Triumphs Shepherds' Conference in reality being the Truth Trampled -Christianity Astray- Conference.
-Do not receive an accusation against an elder except from two or three witnesses. Those who are sinning rebuke in the presence of all, that the rest also may fear.- -1 Timothy 5-19-20--Why preach this sermon-- Why bring public correction to a 70 year old Scottish gentleman preacher with an amazing accent and widely trusted, global Bible teaching ministry-- Why warn and exhort our local church, Christian leaders, pastors, and the body of Christ at large-- Here's why. Alistair Begg used his widely trusted, highly influential, global, Truth for Life ministry to open the hellish Pandora's box door of Romans 1-18-32 LGBT apostasy in the conservative, Biblical, Reformed, Christian world. He capitulated morally and theologically on the battlefield where Satan is fighting most fiercely against the precious lives and souls of girls, boys, women, and men. He has refused to recant his teaching. He has doubled and tripled down in his defense of his moral and theological capitulation-accusing pastors and and Christians who have brought correction to him of being Pharisees who very likely have the same sexual perversion in their own hearts that they would like to act upon. Alistair Begg's capitulation and accusational defense will have far reaching affects on the Church as a whole- individual churches- pastors- grandparents- parents- children- and girls, boys, women, and men who are perishing under Satan's global LGBT rebellion and deception. Every pastor should be speaking to this issue with full 1 Timothy 5-19 strength and clarity. May God be pleased to grant Alistair Begg repentance and to protect His Church from Alistair's evil counsel.
While I encourage you to listen to the entire sermon to get the full meaning and context of 1 Peter 4-1-6, I will tell you that I speak illustratively and directly to the situation with Alistair Begg beginning at the 45 minute mark.--If you fight a good fight in every area except where Satan's battle against God and the souls of men is raging the hottest...you're not fighting a good fight at all- If you sound a full retreat on that battlefield, make a peace treaty with those warring against God, in any way affirm them in their abominable war, and give them gifts to honor and celebrate their perverse war against God and the souls of men...you are a coward and a traitor to Christ, His Law, His Gospel, and mankind. In 1 Peter 4-1 the Lord gives us a command to arm ourselves with the mind of Christ. Are you armed with the mind of Christ in this wicked and perverse generation of rampant apostasy-- Is your pastor-- Are your favorite conference and radio preachers----Tragically, Alistair Begg has proven not to be armed for the battle of our day, the battle of Sodom and Gomorrah, the battle of Psalm 2, the battle of Romans 1. In the day of global battle against Satan's soul damning, life ruining, body mutilating, sexually deviant lies, Alistair Begg has compromised and capitulated in the name of not offending the world at war with our God and King. Alistair now serves as a litmus test for the rest of us. Is our armor on--- Will we wield the Sword of the Spirit with strength and clarity, will we merely swing it about in the air against unnamed foes, will we shamefully leave it in its leather sheath altogether.
Christ suffered for sinners once- He paid our sin debt in full- It is finished- Salvation is through faith in Christ and His finished work alone- There is no condemnation for sin left for believers. Purgatory doesn't exist, is a blasphemy of Christ's finished work on the cross, and 1 Peter 3-19 doesn't support it. There is no second chance for salvation after death. Baptism doesn't regenerate the dead soul or save sinners. Unholy priests, sprinkling unholy infants, with unholy water isn't baptism. Again, Christ suffered once for for sins and sinners. He took the fullness of the wrath of God on our behalf. Our sufferings are not evidence of God's wrath upon us, but evidence of our loving Father's commitment to perfect our faith and draw us nearer to Him through righteous chastening.
A Christmas message for atheist-agnostic-undecided Christmas celebrants, anti-Christmas puritanical grinches, and merry Christian celebrants of the birth of King Jesus-
How heretical is Catholicism-- How far from the true Jesus and His true Gospel is it-- Catholicism can't even get John 3-18 right----He who believes in Him -Jesus- is not condemned- but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only.-
Listen in and learn the victory of faith and thanksgiving available to us in Christ...contrasted to the danger and misery of living in a state of unbelieving fear.
Christ alone saves sinners...with no co-mediatrix in Mary, no antichrist pope, no antichrist priest, no antichrist sacrament, no antichrist wafer, no antichrist baby sprinkling, and no antichrist purgatory- Until our Catholic friends repent of their faith and trust in Catholicism's many antichrist substitutes to the one true Christ and His finished work on the cross...they cannot be saved. No. They must repent of their many antichrists and place their faith and trust wholly upon the true Christ and His true Gospel- Then, and only then, can we count them as saved and give them confidence of salvation. That isn't narrow minded or bigoted. That's the narrow path of life in Jesus Christ- That's love- That's the Gospel- You do not know saved Catholics. The Catholics in your life are not saved. Praise God, you likely know several -or even many- saved former Catholics, who have now repented and believed the Gospel- May our gracious God be pleased to save a multitude more out of Satan's antichrist church.
The Catholic Church is perhaps best, most Biblically, and most succinctly described as -doctrines of demons.- The unholy mass constitutes the heart of Catholicism and thus the heart of its doctrine of demons. May God be pleased to give us Gospel clarity and the loving conviction to proclaim it to our perishing Catholic neighbors...and may this very simple and yet powerful message be used to rescue the precious souls of those bound up under Rome's demonic deceptions, false christ, and false gospel.
Choosing between the Roman Catholic Church and its sacraments or Christ's true Church and true Gospel isn't a choice between a chocolate frosted donut or a maple frosted donut on Sunday morning. It's a choice between a flaming pile of poisonous poo from Hell or the soul saving Manna of Heaven- Most professing Christians -Reformed and otherwise- feel and act like it's a casual choice between two donuts. May God's Word ignite a Gospel-Reformation fire in God's Church- This sermon is a Reformation torch put to Satan's church. This sermon is a Biblical torch put to the soul damning Catholic idolatry of Mary. May it burn far, wide, and hot-
In this Semper Reformanda message, Eric Holmberg's tragic apostasy to Catholicism's soul damning heresies is addressed- Holmberg's apt use of Doug Wilson -a perverted and Romish wolf in sheep's clothing- to defend his apostasy is addressed- and Voddie Baucham, Josh Buice, Jeff Durbin, Phil Johnson, and James White's ongoing wolf -Doug Wilson- petting, promoting, platforming, protecting, and quoting is addressed. Why address these things-- For love of Christ, love of His true Church, love of 1.3 billion perishing Catholics souls, love of Eric Holmberg and his family, love of impressionable pastors who are following the compromised lead of conference speaking pastors in need of Holy Spirit empowered Semper Reformanda-Gospel zeal...and for love of my own dear congregation as they watch a man they trusted go apostate and elder conference speaking pastors they trust-ed promote and protect an undeniable pervert, heretic wolf in our midst. May God be pleased to purify and protect His Church and ignite true Reformation fire. Eric Holmberg's blood is on Doug Wilson's hands...and the hands of those who have long been compromising with Wilson. May God grant repentance.--Acts 20-26-30--Therefore I testify to you this day that I am innocent of the blood of all men. For I have not shunned to declare to you the whole counsel of God. Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood. For I know this, that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock. Also from among yourselves men will rise up, speaking perverse things.-
The command of 1 Peter 3-15 is to -always be ready to give a defense- of the faith. In this message we review 1 Peter 3-15 and look to Jeremiah's life and ministry for encouragement and insight into how we can indeed -always be ready- to declare and defend our faith with love, fear, and courage.
Aliens are all the rage. They're in the movies, TV shows, kid's cartoons, History Channel, the evening news, and as of last week...they took center stage in the United States congressional hearing on UFOs. Just as with Big Bang Cosmology, Evolution, homosexuality, and transgenderism...many professing Christians are now capitulating to alien propaganda. How are we to respond to the topic of UFOs, UAPs, ETIs, Interdimensional beings, biologics, biologicals, and aliens-- Is there a Biblical path to peace with all this or is it just the newest assault on truth, sanity, souls, the Biblical worldview, and God Himself--
What is the resurrection revolution-- Are you part of it-- Should you be-- You've been saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in Jesus Christ alone...now what--
The Apostle Peter writes to the Christian pilgrims of old and to those walking in faith today- What is a Christian pilgrim-- Listen in and find out, my friend-
How would the Lord Jesus have us to deal with calamity, hardship, trial, persecution, tragedy, suffering, disease, and death-- That is an important question. Do you know the answer-- The answer is a blessing-
Peter's life and ministry are a phenomenal account of God's amazing grace to sinners. This message will convict, excite, and encourage every believer-
You'll either say -Amen-- or -Ouch-- or both in response to this sermon. I say both. May God raise up His Church to -Go therefore--
Peter's humanity, faith, and apostolic ministry are wildly instructive for every Christian- Don't miss this dose of grace and truth-
The Lord Jesus Christ is the Rock of our salvation, the Cornerstone of Christianity, the Rock upon which we stand, and the Rock of offense that will crush all those who do not bend their knee and confess Him as Lord- Flee to Christ and live-
C.S. Lewis is a gateway drug for Catholicism, theological liberalism, mysticism, and apostasy. He is an enemy of God, the Word of God, and the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Those who quote him do so in ignorance, willful ignorance, or as fellow enemies of God and His Gospel. May our gracious God purge our homes, pulpits, and churches of his corrupting influence.
Catholicism is a vast missionary field filled with precious souls who must -Repent and believe the Gospel- -Mark 1-15-- Many Reformed pastors, men, and churches are just posers. They have no heart for the Gospel battle. They have no heart for the ongoing Reformation war to rescue 1.3 billion Roman Catholic souls. They're just a useless theology, history, stout beer, whiskey, cigar club that likes to fly their Reformed flag high while ignoring the cries of countless billions of Catholics in Hell and the 1.3 billion more who are a breath away from eternal wrath. Some Reformed men are even worse. They've actually declared peace with Catholicism's abominable heresies and now call Catholics their brothers. Get to reforming or get a new flag and a new name-
The existence of evil is not a threat to the Christian worldview, it's the death blow to the atheist worldview.
Joseph had every earthly reason to be depressed. His own brothers hated him, plotted to murder him, and ultimately sold him into slavery. Then, through the first recorded false -MeToo accusation, Joseph went from hated, betrayed, Israelite, slave...to hated, betrayed, Israelite, slave, attempted rapist, prisoner- Some would argue Joseph had justifiable reason to be angry with God after experiencing so many injustices -which is blasphemous-. What Joseph knew, and what you and I can know too, is that Romans 8-28 - 35-39 is heavenly truth no matter what earthly circumstances we face---We know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose...35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ-- Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword-- 36 As it is written--'For Your sake we are killed all day long--We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.'-37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. 38 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, 39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.-
From the historic record of Jacob's life recorded in Genesis 35, and supporting Scriptures, we learn vital life lessons on walking with God, dealing with death, celebrating new life, parenting, and protecting children from perversion.
Following God in a fallen world includes death, hardship, hope, despair, mountaintops, valleys, fear, and faith-
Genesis is the book of firsts- first man, first woman, first sin, first son, first murder, and first rape. Is rape wrong-- Why-- Is rape a justification for the murder of unborn children-- Why or why not-- How is rape a Christian apologetic--
Communism and Communist insurrection are evil- The Democratic Party and their co-conspirators in the press are actually right. On 9-11 we shouldn't just look back to the threat of Islamic terrorism. We should be deeply concerned about the very real threat of domestic terrorism and fascism from within the United States. Only the domestic terrorists and fascist tyrants are Leftist insurrectionists masquerading as the President, Vice President, and Democratic Party leaders...not America loving, Constitution loving, freedom loving, 1st Amendment loving, 2nd Amendment loving, God loving, Bible loving, Church loving, 2 gender loving, Biblical marriage loving, parental rights loving, unborn child loving, born child genital mutilation hating, Jesus loving Americans- --The Democratic Party is beating war drums. Their constant -civil war- rhetoric isn't just rhetorical. They started by calling us -deplorables,- then -xenophobes,- then -white supremacists,- then -domestic terrorists,- then -White Christian Nationalists,- and now -fascists.- They mean to advance their anti-God, anti-Bible, anti-America Communist-Globalist agenda by marginalizing, criminalizing, arresting, imprisoning, fining, impoverishing, confiscating property, and taking parental rights from their opposition. Their messaging is remarkably similar to the German Nationalist Socialist Party's messaging before the infamous night of the broken glass -Nov. 9th, 1938- when the cold war against Jews and political dissidents went hot. How are Christians to respond to the real evil and present danger of Communism and Communist insurrection-- Listen in and find out-
Portland has thousands of men who call themselves pastors. In over 20 years of pastoral evangelistic ministry I've never bumped into one of them obeying the Great Commission at a parade, Saturday market, abortion clinic, college campus or anywhere else preaching the Gospel. I met a few of their congregants this summer. Two sweet, but audacious, young women stepped up to men twice their age, preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the middle of Portland, to tell them that they shouldn't be preaching the Gospel to well over a thousand Portlanders because it only offends. They stood their ground zealously contending against the preaching of the Gospel and for friendship, hyper-relational evangelism for over 30 minutes. Here's the kicker. They go to a -reformed- church and profess to believe God is sovereign in salvation. These are the Christians the -Don't Go Therefore-- pastors have filled America and the Western world with...Anti-Great Commission Christians- Their pastors are a curse to them and they are a curse upon our land---Much could be said to refute their Anti-Great Commission arguments, but let's just ask the Apostle Paul what he thinks of their arguments. What say you Paul-----How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed-- And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard-- And how shall they hear without a preacher-- And how shall they preach unless they are sent-- As it is written- 'How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, Who bring glad tidings of good things-' -So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.- -Romans 10-14-17
A word on the demise of Roe v. Wade for Never Trumper Christians, for abolitionist Christians, for prolife Christians, and for abortion supporting Democrat false-Christians.
What happens when man's deception and God's providential grace meet-- How are we to understand God's election of Jacob over Esau-- Why did God choose Jacob when Jacob deceptively stole Esau's birthright with the help of his deceptive mother-- What does all of this have to do with us all today and me in the Marine Corps 30 years ago-- Listen in and find out-
God is so faithful- His providence is astonishing and beautiful- His timing is perfect---Would you believe the Lord sent us a congregation of about 300 precious souls at Planned Parenthood today-- Would you believe -considering my Facebook posts regarding Catholicism this week- that they were Roman Catholics...including roughly a dozen nuns, a dozen monks and priests, 50 or so other adults, and 200ish high-school and college-age kids-- That's exactly what God did- Brothers and sisters, would you believe we just happened to have a half-mile hailer amplifier -that I initially forgot and had to go back into the house to get before leaving this morning- so we could preach the true Gospel of Jesus Christ to this beautiful congregation of perishing idolaters for 15 minutes until the priests ushered this God ordained congregation away lest they repent, believe the true Gospel, be saved, and be Catholics no more-- That's exactly what happened- Pray for their souls---Catholics are not our brothers and sisters in Christ, but notice -when the video comes out- how insistently they repeat their declarations that they are. Our Catholic neighbors are a vast mission field- The Reformation isn't over until all 1.2 billion Catholics are saved by grace alone through faith alone out from under their soul damning antichrist works righteousness doctrines of demons, every Catholic Church is closed forever, and every idolatrous transubstantiated wafer bearing Catholic alter is burned and replaced with a true Gospel preaching pulpit- --One more thing. Stop calling yourself Reformed if you're not carrying on the Gospel Reformation war. There's a Gospel war for eternal souls on. Act like it, men-
Douglas Wilson is a popular pastor, theologian, and author. He has many friends in the Biblical, Reformed, G3 Conference, Shepherds' Conference, Evangelical world. He's considered a champion of Biblical truth and Reformed-Protestant Christianity by many. He is not. Douglas Wilson is a false teacher. He's a counter-reformer and an enemy of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He teaches that Catholics are his brothers and sisters in Christ. He says Catholics are participants in the New Covenant, but not necessarily regenerate or born again. That is a Biblical and theological impossibility -Jer. 31-31-34-. He declares Catholics to be saved by faith alone despite the fact that they reject salvation by faith alone and participate in a system of sacramental works righteousness that blasphemes Christ's tetelestai. Douglas Wilson has -a different gospel, which is not another- -Gal. 1-6-9-. He declares the premier Roman Catholic apologist, G.K. Chesterton, to be saved despite his ardent adherence to and defense of soul damning Catholic heresy because in Doug's estimation -contrary to Scripture- Chesterton yet evidenced the grace of God and Holy Spirit at work in his life. Wilson dogmatically says he's not going to make it to Heaven if G.K. Chesterton -Catholic Apologist-, J.R.R. Tolkien -Catholic-, and C.S. Lewis -Pseudo-Catholic, mystic, pagan- didn't make it to Heaven. In addition to Wilson's false teaching regarding salvation-he's a consistently profane and immoral man who enjoys using highly sexualized -sometimes pornographic- illustrations, imagery, terms, and demeaning slurs toward women. I pray Christ's men will stand up, defend the Gospel, defend women, and protect the Church.
John Knox famously prayed, -Give me Scotland, or I die-- Why are so many Christians afraid to pray, -Give me America, or I die---- Why do so many Christians seem satisfied with a post-Christian America-- Is Ultra-MAGA really an ultra shameful slur-- Is Christian Nationalism wrong-- Should we be ashamed if someone labels us as dreaded and deplorable Christian Nationalists-- Is Christian Nationalism the greatest existential threat to American democracy that CNN and MSNBC say it is-- Is there a case for Biblical Christian Nationalism-- What would Jesus say-- Better yet, what did Jesus say-------And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, 'All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of ALL THE NATIONS, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you- and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.' Amen.- -Matthew 28-18-20----Our obedience to Christ's Great Commission results in the salvation of individual sinners and the transformation of entire nations...and that's the goal- Consider Jonah and the national repentance of Nineveh- Every Christian -no matter their eschatology- should want, pray toward, and work toward seeing their nation bend its knee to Christ through individual and corporate repentance and confession of Christ as Lord- That's Biblical Christian Nationalism- Our goal is to preach the Word of God to all of mankind and see every sinful rebel and nation subdued and saved- We're aiming too small if we're not aiming to see Christ reign from sea to shining sea and over every other individual and nation on God's green earth-
Genesis 26 records the historic and inspiring account of God's unfolding grace in Isaac and Rebeka's life. It is instructive for every true believer and follower of God in every age.
A radical, countercultural -i.e. Biblical- Mother's Day message to encourage and strengthen mothers and elevate motherhood to its God given Biblical heights.
Abraham and Sarah are beautiful examples of salvation by faith alone alone and perseverance in that saving faith by grace alone-
Topics include- Tyrants, Love, Guns, Violence, Pacifists, and Evil- My delivery was a bit off due to sickness, but there are vital and timely truths in this message.
Genesis is the book of firsts. First man. First woman. First marriage. First child. First Murder. Genesis chapter 19 is the historic record of the abominable sin of homosexuality first rearing it's perverted and violent head in the city of Sodom. What does God's Word say about homosexuality- Is it really that bad- Isn't all sin the same- Is it loving to use Biblical terms for homosexuality like- sin, vile passions, against nature, lust, shameful, debased, sexual immorality, and abomination- Is it Biblical, morally right, or loving use the term same-sex marriage or same-sex attracted- Is it Biblical, morally right, or loving or to use newly created gender neutral terms- or to refer to a man as a woman- or to refer to a woman as a man- Can Christians attend homosexual weddings- Do all homosexuals go to Hell- Can homosexuals be rescued from both the eternal penalty and present power of sexual perversion-
The 2022 Shepherds' Conference theme was Unashamed. I have attended the conference for the last 23 years and it was a genuine blessing as always with one significant disappointment. In light of our Lord Jesus Christ's standing Great Commission command...Satan's army actively marching to war in an unprecedented global Psalm 2, Romans 1-18-32 uprising against God...the criminalization of Christianity in the West...and a great apostasy taking place in the visible church...we desperately need an urgent call to be UNASHAMED OF THE GREAT COMMISSION and Christ's clear -go therefore- plan to fill our cities with His Gospel and turn the world upside down- The Shepherds' Conference messages fell short of the vital UNASHAMED OF THE GREAT COMMISSION mark. Here's the urgent and essential evangelistic call that was missing. It is long past time to put the -GO-- back in -go therefore-- Satan's army is going every day, all day, all over the planet, in every known tongue. Satan's army is advancing on every front. If we won't -go therefore- Satan's army will soon come for our churches, our Bibles, and our children. If we aren't willing to go for love of Christ and perishing sinners...will we not get Biblically studied up, get spiritually prayed up, and actually get up -like Jesus and His disciples did- and -go therefore- to turn the world upside down for the love of our own children- May God grant a revival of Biblical evangelism and missions- It's long past time we stop asking what Jesus would do and we start doing what He did, doing what He trained His disciples to do, and doing what He still commands us to do today.
Join us as we dig into the glory of salvation and horror of abomination in Genesis 18-19-
Satan's soldiers are warring against God, His Word, His Law, His Gospel, His Church, marriage, family, children, and gender daily- We are losing ground on all fronts- Are you a soldier for Christ- Do you know what a soldier for Christ is- Does that sound way too militant- Are you just here for the donuts and coffee-
Our society's criminalization of God's unchanging truth about gender and sexuality is a Satanically inspired and empowered attempt to criminalize the Word of God, the Law of God, the Gospel, the Church, and God Himself- It's a global Psalm 2, Romans 1 uprising against God. Who's to blame- Satan, homosexuals, politicians, pastors, or average Christians- What are we going to do about it-
Should Christians be merry at Christmas...or should they reject Christmas as unholy commercialized covetousness, Catholic heresy, and pagan idolatry like the Reformers and Puritans of old--
It's God's Church. He didn't fail to design it. In fact, He made His design for His Church exceedingly clear in Scripture. It's simply a matter of whether we're going to trust God's perfect wisdom and obey God's command...or foolishly trust our perceived wisdom and rebelliously create our own plan. Many professing Christians are coming up with creative new plans for gender, sexuality, marriage, parenting, etc. It's no wonder many do the same with God's Church. May God bless the hearers of His Word and His blood bought Church with a glad reception of Elder Rule.
This sermon serves as a Proverbial-Biblical rod for the spiritually foolish backs of Gospel assaulting, counter-Reforming, faux-Reformed, anti-Evangelical, pseudo-Christians...applied with love for Christ, for 1.3 billion perishing Roman Catholics, and for the ecumenically compromised men and women in grave danger of hearing, -I never knew you. Depart from Me.- It's time for many -Reformed- leaders and professing Christians to get to reforming or to get a new name. If you're not actively reforming through the clear declaration and defense of the Gospel...you're not really Reformed. If you aren't willing to lovingly expose the soul damning, Satanic evil of Roman Catholicism and call real Catholics to really repent and really believe the real Gospel...you're not really Reformed or Evangelical.
Tithing...everyone's favorite topical sermon subject- Right- Wrong. Just Benny Hinn's favorite. A sincere loathing for charlatan, TBN, Word of Faith, charismatic abuses has kept me from ever preaching a sermon on tithing. I don't know what anyone gives to our local church and I never have. This I know- God's Word is true, He promises blessings for those who tithe with faith, and I've experienced the truth of His promise throughout my Christian life...especially in times of relative poverty. Genesis 14 records Abraham's tithe to Melchizedek. It's the first tithe in the Bible and there's much to learn from it.
Politics are never -just- politics. Communism isn't -just- another system of government. Communism never brings its promised equity and utopia for all. Communism always brings equal oppression, suffering, poverty, starvation, and mass-murder for all. Joe Biden didn't stumble, bumble, fumble, or drop the ball in the Middle East or at our southern border-neither dementia nor idiocy results in consistently harming America, harming our allies, and strengthening our Communist and Islamic Jihadi enemies 100- of the time. Communist insurrectionist Joe, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, the Squad, and their modern day axis of evil allies have declared war on the United States of America and the Constitution upon which it stands. Make no mistake, if they succeed, every form of evil will be unchecked in America and around the globe. Right now our war is cold, but the tyrant Marxists in the White House, the Senate, and the House of Representatives are moving closer to a hot war every day as they systematically marginalize, stigmatize, and criminalize God fearing, Bible believing, Constitution defending Americans. Here are eight Biblical reasons to actively stand against and speak out against the Democratic Party's ongoing Communist insurrection.
WARNING- This booster shot is not recommended by the Devil, the WHO, or the FDA. While a whole sermon series can and should be preached on each of these vital topics...this sermon serves as a one stop BIBLICAL BOOSTER SHOT against Satan's relentless and largely successful assault on God's perfect design for manhood, womanhood, marriage, and parenting.
It has been rightly said that the promise of the land for the Jewish people is repeated over and over in the Word of God. One writer says, -Scripture has at least 170 references to the land that God gave to the offspring of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. God promised the land of Canaan to the Jews as an unconditional covenant - 55 times the Bible records that God confirmed the gift with an oath. Twelve of those times He stated that the covenant was everlasting.- It is abundantly clear from the Bible that the Jewish people have been given the land of Israel from God for an -everlasting- possession, that they are thus the rightful owners, that the Palestinians can't take it from them, and that no eschatological theologian or theology can take it from them.
Abraham's life taught us that wealth can be a blessing from God and is not innately sinful. Lot's life teaches us that wealth sought and gained selfishly is always sinful and always leads to devastating poverty.
Is wealth evil- Does the Bible condemn personal wealth and personal property- Is Capitalism -equal opportunity- evil- Is Communism -enforced equity- good- What does the Bible say-
America is on the brink of ruin or revival. How did we get here- Who is to blame- Is there hope- What do we do now-
-Hot as hell-- is a common profane term among nonbelievers to describe summer weather, but it's not profanity as much as it's a horrifyingly inaccurate comparison. Worse yet, unbelievers and even many professing Christians no longer actually believe Hell is hot. On the historic hottest recorded Lord's Day in the city that boasts of being the most atheist city in America -Portland, Oregon- it seemed appropriate to preach on the doctrine of eternal fiery judgment.
The Gospel vs. LGBT Deception -Homosexuality Damns Souls and Destroys Lives and Nations
There's dangerous error, Roman Catholic heresy, and martyr's blood in the pedobaptism water. It doesn't regenerate. It doesn't remove original sin. It doesn't seal. It doesn't produce faith in crying infants. It doesn't have power. It's not holy water, it's poisonous water, and Semper Reformanda and Sola Scriptura are the cure. This sermon closes with a brief look at Douglas Wilson's controversial doctrine of pedobaptism. Mr. Wilson's crypto-Catholic doctrine of trinitarian infant baptism isn't just dangerous, it's convoluted, counter-reforming heresy.
What do your Roman Catholic friends believe about baptism- Why do your Lutheran and Presbyterian friends baptize babies- What power does the baptismal water have- What happens to a baby that is baptized- Is baby baptism really baptism at all- Should Roman Catholics get re-baptized when they repent of Catholic heresy and believe the Gospel of Jesus Christ- Do any of these baptismal details really matter- Yes--- Listen in and find the answers to these questions and more.
When you reject the God of the Bible, the God who created the heavens and the earth, the God who defines good and evil, the God who is truth, the God who is the only source and standard of truth, the ony God there is...all you have left is a downward spiral into moral corruption and intellectual absurdity that ends in Hell.
Women and womanhood have never been under greater assault than they are today. The greatest misogynist act to ever be legislated or carried out by a man is Joe Biden's Equality Act...that gave perverted men in dresses women's spots on the team, in the shower stall, and in women's shelters. This message is meant to elevate women and womanhood to it's God ordained Biblical heights, and to strengthen our dear sisters to stand joyous and resolute against Satan's lies. Many God-haters attack Christianity and the Bible with accusations of misogyny and oppression of women. Exactly the opposite is true. Jesus Christ and Christianity have done more to crush misogyny and elevate women than all other people, movements, philosophies, or religions put together. -Women. Can't live with them. Can't live without them.- has often been said as a joke or a sad commentary on marriage relationships in a fallen world. There's more truth to the statement than people realize. On the negative side, Eve ate of the forbidden fruit, gave it to Adam who did likewise, and in that act mankind incurred the judgment of sin which is death. Of course, Adam should have protected Eve from Satan's schemes and God held him accountable accordingly. On the incredibly positive side, Eve's very name means -mother of all living- and Mary -a granddaughter of Eve- gave birth to Jesus Christ, who took upon flesh that He might suffer, die, and conquer death for sinners. -Unfortunately, the first 15 minutes or so of this message, in which we looked at Genesis 1-3 to consider the creation, design, and fall of woman, did not get recorded due to -male- human error -- The message picks up mid-John MacArthur quote.
This message takes a fascinating look at the providential connection between God's curse upon Canaan in Genesis 9 and His eternal covenant with Israel played out in the rest of Holy Scripture and the history of mankind.
Here we have the record of a fresh start for mankind marred by the sins of drunkenness and dishonor of father. Mankind's sin has been wiped from the earth- Only the godly Noah -the preacher of righteousness-, his three godly sons, and their godly wives remain. All that remains of mankind comes forth from the ark full of faith in the one true God and a healthy fear. It's a bit like graduation day for a homeschooling family or the tale of a Christian commune set apart from all corrupting influence-but to our horror-we find that sin yet remained in these saints of old and that sin quickly ripped their family apart. There is no perfect environment. There is no perfect family. There is only a fallen world with fallen sinners desperate for the amazing grace of God in Jesus Christ--- It shouldn't shock you that the scientific evidence coming forth in the study of genetic code points back to the Genesis account of a recent creation, a recent and real Adam and Eve, and a recent worldwide global flood that wiped out all of mankind except Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth- Genesis 9-19 stands as God's inerrant Word with or without the aid of mankind's errant science, but it seems our scientific observations in the field of DNA actually point solidly back to God's record in Genesis of a recent Adam and Eve -roughly 6,000 years ago- and a global flood -approximately 4,500 years ago- that bottlenecked the genetic code down to the three sons of Noah and their wives from which the whole earth was populated. God's Word is true from Genesis to Revelation-
The Bible cancels both the KKK and the BLM movement. The Bible is the solution to the evil of racism and the evil of the baby genocide promoting, Planned Parenthood partnering, police hating, racism fostering, Communism facilitating, Black Lives Matter movement. The Biblical worldview of America's founding fathers is what made America the greatest, freest, most prosperous nation for men and women of every skin color and creed on the planet. The idea that America suffers from systemic racism is a fiction easily refuted by the reality of what's taking place at our border right now. People of color are fleeing from their nations of color and breaking into America because they know there is infinitely more freedom, opportunity, law and order, justice, and wealth available in America. The Black Lives Matter movement isn't about racial equality-it's about creating a race war to facilitate unrest and the opportunity for social upheaval and Socialist reconstruction of our society. The founders of BLM are self-confessing Marxists. The ANTIFA-BLM army that has been occupying and destroying our cities, assaulting and murdering innocent citizens, and maiming and murdering police officers is backed by the Democratic Party and the mainstream Leftist media-it's their army implementing their Communist will on America with the Communist sickle and hammer emblazoned on their flags, on their t-shirts, and spray painted on their black combat shields and helmets. We are experiencing a Communist insurrection, not racial reconciliation and justice for all. The Word of God preached pulpit and street to all men, of all hues, in every place cancels racism, slavery, Communism, sin, death, and Hell.
Why does God ordain adversity- How are we to deal with fear- What is the relationship between adversity, fear, and faith- For His own glory and honor may our gracious God be pleased to use the coming hour of adversity to purge, purify, and strengthen His beloved Church.---If you faint in the day of adversity, Your strength is small.- -Proverbs 24-10---Be strong and of good courage- do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.- -Joshua 1-9---Do not fear any of those things which you are about to suffer. Indeed, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and you will have tribulation ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life. -He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death.-' -Revelation 2-10-11
It's God's rainbow- Love, marriage, gender, and the rainbow all belong to God. We can't give up love. We can't give up marriage. We can't give up gender. We can't give up the rainbow. Love, marriage, gender, and the rainbow are what God says they are. Abomination, unnatural lust, and vile passion are what God says they are. For love of God and our neighbors perishing in the madness of their sin...HERE WE STAND-
God hating tyrants will never learn to fear God when God's people cower before them in silence. We have a long history of Protestant resistance to tyranny. May God give us more bold-hearted Reformers like George Wishart, who trained up the likes of John Knox, who boldly prayed, -Give me Scotland, or I die-- and then preached fearlessly to that end despite the real threats of the Roman Catholic tyrants of his day. The Roman Catholic Mary, Queen of Scots, gave this unintended compliment to Knox, -I fear the prayers of John Knox more than all the assembled armies of Europe.- Catholic tyranny and heresy could not stand the fire and hammer of the Word of God fearlessly preached and prayed. Wishart taught Knox to fear God alone and no earthly power by preaching the Gospel fearlessly in the face of certain persecution and martyrdom at the hands of tyrannical Catholic authorities. Knox learned his lesson well and helped raise up an army of Reformed preachers who freed Scotland from the tyranny of Roman Catholic rule and heresy by courageously preaching the Word of God in the pulpit and on the street. May God raise up men today with resolute steel in their spines who will fearlessly preach God's Law and Gospel in America's pulpits and streets in obedience to the Lord Jesus Christ's Great Commission and in defiance of today's antichrist, secular atheist, Marxist, Antifa, anarchist, Black Lives Matter, homosexual activist, baby genocide supporting tyrants. May God hating antichrist tyrants in every age and under every flag learn the beginning of wisdom, the fear of God, from preachers who fear nothing but God-and preach the Gospel in the pulpit and in the open air accordingly.
From time to time in good conservative Christian circles there are Bah-Humbug-Christmas-Killjoys who rise up to crush your Christmas joy, saying, -Charles Spurgeon didn't celebrate Christmas-- Let not your heart be troubled. --Like many faithful men in his day, Charles Spurgeon had reservations about the celebration of Christmas. They lived closer to the Reformation by date and proximity than we do today and the Roman Catholic Church held much sway in England and in the origin and celebration of Christmas. Spurgeon's sermons regarding Christmas reflect his genuine concern for the Gospel and the purity of the Church. Nevertheless, in his December 24, 1854, sermon titled -The Birth of Christ,- he ended his sermon saying---Now a happy Christmas to you all- and it will be a happy Christmas if you have God with you. I shall say nothing today against festivities on this great birthday of Christ. We will to-morrow think of Christ's birthday- we shall be obliged to do it, I am sure, however sturdily we may hold to our rough Puritanism...Feast, Christians, feast- you have a right to feast. Go to the house of feasting to-morrow, celebrate your Savior's birth- do not be ashamed to be glad- you have a right to be happy...Religion never was designed to make your pleasures less-Recollect that your Master ate butter and honey. Go your way, rejoice tomorrow, but in your feasting, think of the Man in Bethlehem- let him have a place in your hearts, give him the glory, think of the virgin who conceived him, but think most of all of the Man born, the Child given. I finish by again saying - A HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL-
Despite Oregon's Constitutional freedom-stifling, business-crushing, draconian, Covid-19 shutdowns - there are still masked, social-distanced, temperature-checked Saturday Markets where people are gathering to hear the Gospel. It was a joy to preach the hope of Jesus Christ and His Gospel in the midst of so much darkness, uncertainty, and fear. There were lots of listeners off camera to my right and left and behind the tents and food trucks. We prayed in the parking lot after the message and in immediate answer to our prayers, a man approached us and asked what church we were from and if he and his family could come on Sunday. It was a beautiful day of ministry.
Genesis chapters 7 and 8 record the horrifying judgment and amazing grace of God. Our God, the only God there is, is a just Judge. He justly brought a judgment of global destruction and death upon mankind and everything in which was the breath of life through Noah's flood. Only those sealed into the Ark were saved from the wrath of God. We've been warned of the coming eternal deluge of fire, not water- We've been warned of Hell and eternal damnation- We've been warned of the fierce wrath of the Almighty being poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation- We have been warned- Will we not be moved with godly fear-- Will we not flee to the grace, mercy, and salvation of God in Jesus Christ, the only Ark of eternal salvation-- Will we not warn others--
This message takes a close look at the heart of the historic and ongoing Reformation- Sola Fide, Solus Christus, Soli Deo Gloria- If the foundation of the Reformation is Scripture alone and Grace alone...the heart of the Reformation is Faith Alone and Christ Alone for the Glory of God Alone-
This message dogmatically celebrates the bedrock foundation of the historic and ongoing Reformation- Scripture Alone and Grace Alone - Sola Scriptura and Sola Gratia. The Reformation is not over- There are 1.2 billion Roman Catholics who need to be saved out from under Catholicism's soul damning system of antichrist doctrines of demons that blaspheme both Christ and His Gospel. Contrary to hipster opinion, being Reformed is not actually about beards, microbrew beer, tattoos, cursing, cigars, tumblers of whiskey, or being cool at all. Being Reformed is about more than a historical event or doctrinal statement on a page. Being Reformed is chiefly about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. You're not truly Reformed if you're not an actual Gospel declaring, defining, and defending Reformer. You're not truly Reformed if you're not laboring to rescue the 1.2 billion Catholics who are perishing under Catholicism's abominable antichrist heresies. You're not truly Reformed if you have ecumenical hymn sings and prayer meetings with Roman Catholics when you should be calling them to repent of their false christ and false gospel. If you say Roman Catholics are our brothers and sisters in Christ, you're not Reformed at all, you're a counter-Reformer. If you get an A- in Reformed eschatology and an F- in Reformed soteriology, you're not Reformed at all, you're not even a Christian. Repent, believe the Gospel, then call our Catholic friends to do the same. If you have no heart for Semper Reformanda Gospel warfare you may technically and theologically be Reformed, but you're no Reformer and you'll not hear, -Well done good and faithful servant--
A serious contemplation of the presence of evil in Genesis 3 inevitably leads to God's glory in Romans 9.
Adam's ancient excuse for falling in sin was to blame God and the woman God gave him. We all too often play the role of Adam yet today, making various theological, philosophical, physiological, psychological, and just plain pathetic attempts to point our finger to God and others for our sin. As we consider the fall of mankind into sin and the origin of evil as recorded in Genesis chapter 3, we should keep in mind the wish of John Calvin, who aptly wrote, -I wish that men would rather suffer themselves to be judged by God, than that, with profane temerity, they should pass judgment upon him- but this is the arrogance of the flesh to subject God to its own test.- May God's Spirit through the means of His Holy Word, renew our minds and protect us from the foolish and -profane temerity- to attempt to pass judgment on God, the only standard of good and evil, the only just Judge of all men.
Why did God allow evil- Was it to create beings with free will who would freely choose to love and worship God- Was it because God didn't know it was going to happen and He's been trying to fix it ever since- Why did Satan fall in sin- What does theodicy mean- What is the problem of evil- This message from Genesis 3-1 and supporting texts answers those questions and more...
How is it that a talking serpent got into the garden of Eden to tempt Adam and Eve- How is it that Satan got into the serpent- Who is Satan- Who created him- How powerful is he- Was he created good, or was he always evil- How is it that evil got into Satan-
Christ's church is essential. Christ's Church is the vehicle of Christ's Gospel-the only hope of salvation for mankind-without which all of mankind is doomed to eternity under God's judgment in Hell. Christ's Church is the messenger of God's Law-the only absolute, unchanging standard and source of morality-without which mankind descends into lawlessness, anarchy, savagery, every kind of evil, and temporal and eternal suffering.----Satan's church pretends to be Christ's Church, but it defies all that is holy, perverts the Gospel, and denies the Lordship of Christ. Satan's church and state go hand in hand. They are happily wedded partners in Satan's service. Satan's church is filled with members of the party of Satan. Make no mistake-the Democratic Party is the party of Satan. Christians don't vote for the party of Satan...false converts do, apostates do, Christ's enemies do. Christians aren't members of the party of Satan-false converts are, apostates are, Christ's enemies are. It may have been less clear a few decades ago, but it's now an obvious and irrefutable fact that a vote for a Democratic candidate is a vote for Satan's anti-Christ, anti-Bible, anti-Gospel, anti-Church, anti-marriage, anti-family, anti-unborn baby, anti-America, anti-Constitution, anti-freedom party. Satan's church and state are evil-and they've formed an evil alliance- Our churches are full of unrepentant, unholy members of the party of Satan who are actively supporting Satan's evil antichrist agenda.-----For the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God- and if it begins with us first, what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God-- -1 Peter 4-17-18
God hating tyrants will never learn to fear God when God's people cower before them in silence. We have a long history of Protestant resistance to tyranny.

Dear brothers and sisters-Christ is King of everything, every nation, every state, every city, and every man. Christ is King of His Church. Christ's CHURCH IS ESSENTIAL to individual Christians- the body of Christ as a whole- to our perishing neighbors- to our burning cities- to our lawless states- and to our demoralized, degenerate, disintegrating nation at large. No government, president, congressman, represenative, justice, judge, governor, or mayor can declare Christ's Church non-esstential------I was glad when they said to me, 'Let us go into the house of the LORD.'- -Psalm 122-----And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.- -Hebrews 10-24-25-----Peter and the other apostles answered and said- -We ought to obey God rather than men.- -Acts 5-29-----John Calvin rightly said- -Obedience to man must not become disobedience to God.-
An exposition of Matthew 1-18-25 preached on the street outside of Portland's most murderous abortuary, the Lovejoy Surgicenter.
After creating the earth, sun, and moon ex nihilo...our Creator casually mentioned that -He made the stars also- -Gen. 1-16-. God treats the creation of 1 septillion stars -that's a 1 with 24 zeros after it- as an aside, an extra, an add on worthy of only casual mention. Do you remember 2016- It was a really, really big year. You probably don't remember why. It was the year scientists figured out the universe was at least 10 times bigger than they thought it was and conversely our understanding of the universe was at least 10 times smaller than we thought it was -https---www.nasa.gov-feature-goddard-2016-hubble-reveals-observable-universe-contains-10-times-more-galaxies-than-previously-thought-. It's humbling to think about how little we really know...and that God not only created the stars but He calls them each by name.
Stephen Hawking said- ---I think the universe was spontaneously created out of nothing, according to the laws of science-If you accept, as I do, that the laws of nature are fixed, then it doesn't take long to ask- What role is there for God----We need to ask our atheistic, naturalistic, materialistic, big bang cosmologist friends a few vital questions. What exactly do you mean by -nothing-- By nothing do you mean absolutely nothing, or do you actually mean something- And who created and fixed these laws of nature you keep talking about---You see Hawking was an avid believer in and champion of the Big Bang theory. He believed the universe began by exploding suddenly out of an ultra-dense singularity smaller than an atom - and that's not nothing. He believed that from this speck emerged all the matter, energy and empty space that the universe would ever contain - and a speck isn't nothing, a speck from which everything in the universe supposedly emerged is definitely something- He believed all that raw material that emerged from the speck of something evolved into the cosmos we perceive today by following a strict set of scientific laws - and that's not nothing either, that's a preexisting strict set of laws - and where do you get a strict set of scientific laws without a Law Giver- In Hawking's conclusion to the first chapter of his final book, he wrote, -We have this one life to appreciate the grand design of the universe, and for that I am extremely grateful.- Saints, you don't have the near infinite design evident everywhere in our universe without the Grand Designer of Genesis chapter 1 who created the sun, moon, and the stars also...and He called them all by name-
There is only one Christian view on creation. There is no Christian view of Genesis other than the view of the Lord Jesus Christ. You can't call Jesus your Lord and reject your Lord's view, your Lord's position, your Lord's hermeneutic, your Lord's commentary on Genesis. Jesus provided His followers with an inspired, inerrant, preserved divine commentary on Genesis. With it He provided the foundation of the Christian worldview and the singular authoritative interpretation of Genesis as the literal account of God's creation of the heavens, the earth, and all life in it over the course of six literal days. Simply stated, if you don't hold Jesus Christ's position you don't believe Jesus, you don't hold the Christian position on creation, and you have rejected the foundation of the Christian faith and worldview as a whole. It's a dangerous thing to call Jesus your Lord and reject His divine commentary on creation and the books of Moses. Jesus said, -if you believed Moses, you would believe Me- for he wrote about Me. But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words- -John 5-46-47--
By God's gracious providence, America's Declaration of Independence and Constitution established the freest and greatest nation on the planet. I pray and sing, -GOD BLESS AMERICA-- without hesitation or apology-and so should every Christian. COVID19 insanity aside-there's never been a nation where you're freer to serve, worship, and preach the Lord Jesus Christ in the home, the church, and the streets. There's no nation where red, yellow, black, and white men and women have more equality and opportunity to pursue happiness to the glory of God. Every nation has its evils, but America alone is founded on documents that establish the God given inalienable right to life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, and the freedom speech that allow us to boldly proclaim God's Word, God's Law, and God's Gospel from sea to shining sea to set sinners free from the tyranny of sin, Satan, death-and evil government officials and decrees. The solution to America's sins isn't to hate America, it's to pray for God to bless America with repentance and faith in Jesus Christ, it's to die to self and take up the cross of Jesus Christ, it's to -go therefore- and -preach repentance and remission of sin- in Jesus name to all nations beginning with our own cities, states, and nation. May GOD BLESS AMERICA with repentance of its heterosexual sexual revolution and the resulting horrific genocide of 63 million preborn babies, with repentance of its rabid embrace and national celebration of gross sexual perversion and gender rebellion, and with preachers who will boldly and lovingly preach God's sin exposing Law and soul saving Gospel in the pulpit and on the street.
Do you hear the laughter- Mankind's revolution against God is raging. Baby murdering fornicators and adulterers are marching to war over the bodies of 1.6 billion babies in their bloody, genocidal sexual revolution against God. Homosexuals, lesbians, men pretending to be women, women pretending to be men, men pretending to be married to men, and women pretending to be married to women are marching to war in their perverse rebellion against God. Black Lives Matter rioters are marching to war for abortion, sexual perversion, and Marxism...against God and His design and definition of family and gender. Our cities are burning. Our statues are being toppled. Our streets are full of violence. Our police are despised, defunded, and disbanded. Anarchy is in the land. Plague and plague insanity are in the land. America and the Western World are crumbling. What is the answer- What are Christians to do- And what is that laughter I hear---Psalm 2-1-6-Why do the nations rage,-And the people plot a vain thing- -2 The kings of the earth set themselves,-And the rulers take counsel together,-Against the Lord and against His Anointed, saying, -3 -Let us break Their bonds in pieces-And cast away Their cords from us.- -4 He who sits in the heavens shall laugh--The Lord shall hold them in derision. -5 Then He shall speak to them in His wrath,-And distress them in His deep displeasure- -6 -Yet I have set My King-On My holy hill of Zion.-
ABORTION'S GLOBAL GENOCIDE OF 1.6 BILLION BABIES SINCE 1980, 40-50 million per year, and 125,000 per day is a horrific, bone-chilling, nightmare that puts the Coronavirus pandemic's 50,000- global deaths, -It's the end of the world-- panic, and -Stay home-- moral outrage into proper perspective.----1.6 billion babies have been slaughtered in the world's bloodiest genocide since 1980, 40-50 million babies are murdered every year, and 125,000 babies are murdered every day- Who cares- Nothing to see here. Christians and non-Christians apathetically press on with their lives...while 125,000 babies die daily. The global genocide of babies marches on with little resistance.----50,000- born people in a world of 7.8 billion people contract the Coronavirus and die. Global panic- Christians and non-Christians stop everything and say , -Stay home- Stay alive- Do the right thing- Love your neighbor- Be safe- Sacrifices must be made- This global pandemic must stop------Do the moral math. Don't buy into the world's panic and moral outrage. Love your unborn neighbors- Love the 1.6 billion babies murdered since 1980. Love the 40-50 million babies murdered every year. Love the 125,000 babies who will be violently burned, crushed, and ripped limb from limb today, tomorrow, and every day after that until real Bible believing Christians stand up and say, -Go therefore- Minister the Law of God and Gospel of Jesus Christ for the saving of souls and rescuing of babies at every abortuary- Do the right thing- Love your neighbor- It's not safe, but sacrifices must be made- This global genocide of babies must stop------Full sermon- https---www.sermonaudio.com-sermoninfo.asp-SID-33020174704789
The Coronavirus has given mankind an entirely unique opportunity. The entire globe has never come to the grinding halt that we're experiencing today. Humanity has never been so universally humbled. In the midst of the global pandemic panic we all have significantly more time and motivation to consider life and eternity. Take an hour for sober Coronavirus reflection.---Come now, you who say, 'Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit'- whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life- It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.- -James 4-13-14--What are you living for- What would your close friends and family say you're living for if they took a hard look at your life, at where you spend your time, at where you spend your money, at where you spend your energy, at what you view on television, at what you view on the internet, at what you delete from your history, at what fills your social media, at what makes you happy, at what makes you sad, at what makes you angry, at what you laugh at, at what you support and vote for, at your daily prayer or lack thereof, at your daily Bible reading or lack thereof, at your worship or lack thereof, at your obedience to the Great Commission or your lack thereof, at your empathy or apathy toward the genocide of 1.6 billion babies since 1980, at your empathy or apathy toward billions of sinners perishing in their sin, and at what you're willing to suffer and die for-
Circumstances change. Wealth turns to poverty- Health turns to ruin- Security turns to chaos- Safety turns to threat- Men turn to dust- Nations rise and fall- But the glory of God through the salvation of sinners is still and always the main thing- It is commonly and rightly reported among Christians that God reigns in the heavens and that plague in the earth is a judgment of God on sinful mankind. What are Christians to do in light of the judgment of God falling upon humanity- We are to keep the main thing the main thing and lift up the name and Gospel of Jesus Christ in a dying world---
The final event of our unofficial Shepherds' Conference evangelism is the Hollywood Blvd. outreach. It's always a joy to preach the Creator of the stars over the stars on the sidewalk. Where else can you preach the glory of the true God-Man -who created the cosmos, conquered sin, conquered Satan, and conquered death- to thousands of men, women, and children in the midst of so many inglorious, fake Supermans and Spider-Mans too-
Some states have -BRING BACK THE WOLVES-- movements in them. Some churches do too. The shepherds in those states know wolves are their natural enemies. Under-shepherds in Christ's Church know it too. Genuine under-shepherds don't pet the wolves and don't invite them in to devour Christ's blood bought flock, they put wolves out and expose them for the protection of the flock. Faithful under-shepherds aren't fooled by sheep's clothing, they see the wolfish fangs of theological and moral corruption beneath and take the Sword of the Spirit to the wolf.---Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits.- -Matthew 7-15-16-----They are very dangerous...we can all become easy prey to these people...So -Beware- it says...They're dangerous, they pervert the mind, they poison the soul...we see the results of what they do in 2 Peter- 'Many people follow their pernicious ways.'- -John MacArthur-----They are dangerous, they are clever. You'd be better off to embrace a cobra. You'd be better off to crawl in bed with a hungry lion. You'd be better off to drink a bottle of poison than to come near a false prophet.- -John MacArthur, on the danger of wolves in sheep's clothing
The pastor's under-shepherd role is modeled after the Good Shepherd's life and ministry-it is to shepherd the local church through the preaching of the whole counsel of God...and to go to the highways and byways to find the Lord's elect who will hear, will repent, and will confess Christ as Lord unto salvation through the public proclamation of the Holy Scriptures which are powerful to make men wise unto salvation and thoroughly equipped for every good work -1 Tim. 1-15, 2 Tim. 3-15-4-5-.
True joy and thanksgiving are found in the God of truth and perpetual thanksgiving in light of His eternal blessings-
Ultimately there are just two competing explanations for the existence of the cosmos, life, truth, logic, math, and everything else...the eternal God who has revealed Himself and His creative act in Genesis 1-1, or the absurdity of an eternal cosmos. This message is an in depth look at the glory of the eternal God of Genesis 1-1-
Psychology is exposed as a bankrupt- enslaving- unscientific- self-contradicting- failed attempt to answer the needs of mankind's fallen heart, mind, and soul...born out of an atheistic worldview. Philippians 4-1-7 is opened, expounded, and shown to be our God given treasure trove of real, present, and eternal joy and thanksgiving. Go there often. Fill your mind with the treasure of Heaven. Your joy will be full and your heart will be thankful-
All the world's pursuits of happiness are paths to despair. Self-loving, self-centered, self-gratifying pursuit of happiness inevitably results in greater and greater sorrow, not human flourishing. Philippians 4-1-9 provides God's means for great and abiding joy and thanksgiving. This sermon -part 1 of 3- reveals the blessings of joy and thanksgiving that God provides through loving imperfect saints and loving our perfect God.
Q- What do you do when a Catholic lady says the -Spirit told her- to pull her car over, get out, and stand on the porch of the abortion clinic to correct your preaching because you're doing it all wrong---A- You give her the Gospel. We're thankful for every Catholic man and woman that goes to the abortion clinic out of love for unborn babies. We're especially thankful for the opportunity to minister the Gospel to them.
There's a Gospel war on- Christ has enlisted those whom He purchased with His blood as His Gospel soldiers. In this long war there is no more ancient foe than the antichrist Roman Catholic Church. There are 1.5 billion perishing Catholic men and women who desperately need Christ's true Church, Christ's army, to stand up and fight on against Rome's popes, priests, and soul damning doctrines.--In God's providence the occasion of this message was Reformation Sunday...and the Sunday the church surprised its pastor with a celebration of 20 years of pastoral ministry. They gifted the pastor a new, custom made, reclaimed wood, welded steel pulpit. It is fitting that this message -Holy War- is the first message preached from such a fine pulpit. May the Gospel war be advanced from it for decades to come- Soli Deo Gloria-
Like the armies of Israel cowering before Giant Goliath, much of the professing Christian church is cowering before Giant Atheism and his brothers -Giant Naturalism, Giant Big Bang Cosmology, and Giant Evolution- with the inspired, inerrant, preserved, omnipotent, sharp, double edged Sword of the Spirit -the Word of God- hanging limp at their side in it's leather sheath as if it's a useless, outdated, myth. Astonishingly, some have subjugated and given the Sword of truth over to these abominable giants. Others have invited the giants in and given them rule and reign over the church. Listen in as we unsheath God's Sword and slay the giant pseudoscientific myths of our day. Listen close and you'll hear Giant Atheism, Giant Naturalism, Giant Big Bang Cosmology, and Giant Evolution crying out in their death throws. Be sure of this. The Sword of the Spirit will slay them and Christ will soon crush them beneath His feet.
Don't be like Ben. There is no supposed morality, logic, or science that can be brought to bear against God. Ben went to a Wheaton College, who's motto is, -For Christ and Kingdom-- Ben went to Denver Seminary, where he says he earned his Master of Divinity because he wanted to see people saved from Hell. Last Saturday we were a few minutes into preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ in downtown Portland, Oregon, when Ben stepped out of the crowd to bring classic Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, bad atheist arguments against God's character and the justice of Hell. Ben went to Christian college and seminary to become an apologist for God to help rescue sinners from Hell...and he left Christian college and seminary an apologist for Satan to help damn sinners to Hell. Pray Ben sees the foolishness of his arguments against God before he perishes under God's just judgment in Hell. Here's the whole uncut conversation with Ben, as he requested. Hey Ben -if you watch this-, I sincerely invite you to sit down and talk over coffee. My treat -- Don't go to Hell denying the God you know. You haven't embraced intellectual integrity. You've embraced intellectual and moral insanity. Turn to Christ- He'll save your soul, your mind, and your morality.
It's long past time that we place the mythological shoe on the right foot. Many have errantly bowed to Naturalism, Big Bang Cosmology, and Evolution as facts and allowed the mythological shoe to be put on Genesis 1-11. Naturalism, Big Bang Cosmology, and Evolution are the myths that must bow to the facts of Genesis 1-11, not vice versa. The Word of God and all true science slays these atheist myths.
Believing Genesis is not optional. Rejecting a literal Genesis and replacing it with Big Bang Cosmology and Darwinian Evolution is to reject Jesus Christ's literal interpretation of Genesis and to embrace Satan's favorite Bible study hermeneutic, -Hath God said-- It's a rejection of the foundation of God's truth and a reception of the foundation of the atheist's favorite satanic lie. Rejecting the foundation of the Christian worldview and a replacing it with the foundation of the atheist's worldview is not an option, it's spiritual and intellectual suicide.
We look to Israel's continual apostasy in the midst of the ten plagues, the pillar of fire, the pillar of cloud, the parting of the Red Sea, the water from a rock, and the daily miracle bread from the heavens to learn about our own tendency toward apostasy and -an evil heart of unbelief.-
There's a great apostasy taking place in the visible church. What is apostasy- What is an apostate- How does it happen- --Like many before him, Josh Harris has traded the eternal treasure of Heaven, Christ and His Gospel, for the fool's gold of the momentary filth and fleeting pleasure of sin. He and every other apostate are lovers of self rather than lovers of God. It's soul damning, narcissistic, idolatry of self on full display.--Apostasy isn't neutral and it shouldn't be treated as such. Apostasy is antichrist. It's a declaration of war against Christ, His Gospel, and His Church. It's to join the original apostate, Satan, against Christ.--Doubting God's Word is the deadly seed of apostasy. Denying any portion of God's Word is the poison root of apostasy. Denying Christ and His Gospel is the soul damning fruit of apostasy. Hell is where sinful doubt, denial, and apostasy ends and eternal conscious torment begins.
The secular experts can't explain or prevent the growing horror of mass murder we see unfolding on America's news channels. We are reaping what we have long sown as a nation. You can only teach a nation's children there's no God, no Law, no Judge, and no Hell for so long before they begin to act out the lessons we've taught them. You can only teach children they're evolved apes for so long before they begin to act like them.----America doesn't need more psychologists. Psychology is a large part of how we got here. Psychology feeds the sin nature of man, perpetually teaching us to be lovers of self, ever engaged in developing a positive self-image despite the innate sinfulness of self. Psychology feeds the self-centered, narcissistic heart of man that beats in the chest of all of these mass murderers and all unregenerate men.----America doesn't need more armed guards. Short of unleashing the U.S. Military and making our nation a police state, we can't possibly have enough armed guards in every store, school, park, and random place people gather to stop these vicious attacks. Nor could such an effort be practically or financially sustained.----America needs the Revelation of God.-----Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint- but happy is he who keeps the law.- -Proverbs 29-18----America needs a revival in the fear of God. America needs the Word of God. America needs God's Law and Gospel preached everywhere- pulpits, streets, city centers, parks, river fronts, schools, colleges, sporting events, doorsteps, checkout stands, dinner tables, living rooms, bedsides - everywhere- The proclamation of God's Word saves sinners - and holds sin and sinners in check.
Youtube removed this video from our Youtube channel because they will not allow free speech on the topic of homosexuality. Jesus Christ is the narrow path of life. Sometimes the broad path that leads to destruction makes for strange bedfellows. A Muslim woman and a self-described -gay tranny- stand together opposing Christ and His Gospel. Islam and sexual perversion both damn the soul. These women engaged our Gospel preachers multiple times over several days. The -gay tranny- was clearly attempting to provoke us into saying something about homosexuality that she could record, report to the police, and send us to jail with. After several engagements, it seemed the Muslim woman was attempting to do the same thing with. The police repeatedly came and warned us that saying anything negative about homosexuality or Islam would result in our arrest. By God's grace we engaged these two women and many other Muslims and homosexuals with the truth of God's Word and did not get arrested. May our gracious God grant both of these strange broad path bedfellows repentance and saving faith.
This message was preached at the ONE-16 Bible Church in Birmingham, England. It's a Biblical charge from 2 Tim. 4-5 and supporting texts to God's pastors to make the Great Commission GREAT again by doing the work of the evangelist in the manner designed, exemplified, and commanded by the Lord Jesus Christ and the Apostle Paul-putting on the full armor of God- taking up the sword of the Spirit -the Word of God-- and boldly going forth under the authority of Christ- preaching the Gospel of Christ in the open air, everywhere, to everyone- knowing God's elect from every tribe, tongue, and nation will hear, repent, and believe unto salvation. Christ's Church must cease endless complaints about increasing unbelief, false religion, gender rebellion, and perverse sexual immorality advancing in the earth...and instead prayerfully and aggressively advance the Gospel of Jesus Christ with pastors equipping the saints and leading the way -do-ing- the work of an evangelist- -2 Tim. 4-5-.
Here's just a few minutes of an hour conversation with Noah. We are truly glad our Catholic friends are at the abortion clinic standing up for babies. However, we do NOT partner with them. Our Catholic friends are not fellow missionaries, they are the mission field.
Do you know the Lamb of God- Have you beheld the full Biblical glory of the Lamb of God- I encourage you to get your Bible, sit down, and -Behold- The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world-- from Genesis to Revelation.
This message confronts and exposes the widespread -same-sex attracted Christian- deception and hurricane force wind of abomination blowing through Evangelicalism's pulpits, churches, denominations, and conferences. J.D. Greear, Sam Allberry, and Jackie Hill Perry are shown to be actively exchanging the truth of God for a dangerous -same-sex attracted- lie. The Gospel Coalition's compromising council members -Albert Mohler, Russel Moore, Mark Dever, Thabiti Anyabwile, Ligon Duncan, David Platt, Tim Keller, H.B. Charles, and John Piper- have elevated Sam Allberry and Jackie Hill Perry as their TGC spokespersons for social justice for the so-called -same-sex attracted Christian.- Others are lending credibility through partnering in ministry and sharing the pulpit at Gospel Coalition, Together for the Gospel, and other conferences. Pastor John MacArthur, a man I look to as my foremost mentor and arguably the Charles Spurgeon of our generation, has many of these compromised men lined up to preach at Shepherds' Conference and is currently scheduled to share a pulpit in August with Jackie Hill Perry and Tim Keller at Sing 2019, the Getty Worship Music Conference -https---gettymusicworshipconference.com--. It's not a coincidence that many of the same compromising individuals who are bending the knee to our perverse culture are also ardent social justice warriors. I thank God for Pastor MacArthur's long history of fighting a good fight in the defense of God's truth, and I pray the men that he has long called friends and partners in ministry -who are now grossly compromising God's truth- will find Pastor MacArthur willing to stand and fight for their repentance.
A message every Soldier, Sailor, Airman, Marine, Coast Guardsman, Law Enforcement Officer, and civilian defender of innocents desperately needs to hear. An encouragement to the God ordained Romans 13-4 individuals who engage in righteous violence to protect the innocent and hold evil in check. An antidote to -Christian- pacifism.
When evil men are found guilty of crimes against women they should be punished to the full extent of the law. What about when evil women falsely accuse men of evil deeds- God's Word is clear that justice demands that the false accuser receives the same punishment that they intended to inflict upon an innocent man. This is important truth in a -MeToo -Survivor era gone mad.
God's Word teaches us to make right judgments in a rebel sinful world united in a rebel cry of -Judge not--
