Ligonier Ministries: Right Now Counts Forever: Themes from Ecclesiastes with R.C. Sproul

Here is just a few short quotes fromDr. R. C. Spoul's book, Faith Alone: The Evangelical Doctrine of Justification:

"Does saving faith require a trust in the righteousness of Christ alone as the grounds of our justification? Or may a person have a different view of the gospel and still be a Christian?"

"The Reformation was waged, not over the issue of justification by faith, but over the issue of justification by faith alone. It was the Sola of Sola Fide that was the central point of dispute."

" Agreement between Rome and Evangelicals can be reached in several ways. One is for Evangelicals to abandon their historic position of Sola Fide. A second is for Rome to adopt Sola Fide as its official doctrine. The third is for agreement to be reached that Sola Fide is not essential to the gospel."

Prayer is the Key to Successful Christian Living

Prayer is the Key to Successful Christian Living, by Rev, David Park

The text for this sermon is Luke 18:1-14: "And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint; Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man: And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary. And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man; Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me. And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith. And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others: Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted."

Here is a Hymn Based on Psalm 38: In Wrath and Hot Displeasure

(A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance.) "O LORD, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure. For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presseth me sore. There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin. For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me. My wounds stink and are corrupt because of my foolishness. I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long. For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease: and there is no soundness in my flesh. I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart. Lord, all my desire is before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee. My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me. My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my kinsmen stand afar off. They also that seek after my life lay snares for me: and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits all the day long. But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and I was as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth. Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs. For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God. For I said, Hear me, lest otherwise they should rejoice over me: when my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me. For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually before me. For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin. But mine enemies are lively, and they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied. They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries; because I follow the thing that good is. Forsake me not, O LORD: O my God, be not far from me. Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation." - Psalm 38

This reminds me of something Dr. Holdeman said in a lecture where he compared the use of vaccines to having clean water: "Next to clean water, vaccinations have saved more lives than anything else in history." Dr. Holdeman has a Ph.D. in Cell and Molecular biology.

The Two Biggest PR Winners of 2025: Qatar and Saudi Arabia

The Two Biggest PR Winners of 2025: Qatar and Saudi Arabia - pjmedia.com

Excerpt from this article: "Just five years ago, Qatar and Saudi Arabia were pariah nations. Their brands were synonymous with the funding of Islamic terrorism, murdering and dismembering reporters, the 9/11 attacks, corruption, repression, and anti-Western extremism. By the end of 2025, Saudi Arabia was the go-to destination for comedy festivals, boxing, MMA, pro wrestling, soccer, racing, and high-end entertainment."

------------------------------

I still don't believe the official story about 9/11!

Recommended reading: Towers of Deception – The Media Cover-Up of 9/11 – Barrie Zwicker

Select quotes from this book:

“…to logically believe in the official story you have to believe there were 19 kamikaze Arab hijackers who could hijack four commercial airlines all at once and outsmart the $44-billion-a-year US intelligence apparatus and outwit NORAD, the FAA, and the US Air Force and fly the airlines with pinpoint accuracy into the Twin Towers and Pentagon and thus bring the towers down (a first in architectural history) and that all this was orchestrated by Osama bin Laden or some other member of al Qaeda.”

“In the day before 9/11, unusual volumes of trading had occurred in certain 9/11-related stocks. This involved ‘put-options’ – investments that pay off only when a stock drops in price.”
“The official theory of the collapse, therefore, is essentially a fire theory. Yet fire never caused large steel-framed buildings to collapse before or after 9/11.”
On Christmas Day, 2001, the New York Times said: ‘The decision to rapidly recycle the steel columns, beams, and trusses from the WTC in the days immediately after 9/11 means definitive answers may never be known.’ The next week, Fire Engineering Magazine said: ‘We are literally treating the steel removed from the site like garbage, not like crucial fire scene evidence…’”

Daily Sermon for the Hearing Impaired: The Courtyard

The Courtyard, by Joe W. Allen [Text: Exodus 38:1-31]

----------------------

Note: This daily sermon for the hearing impaired is dedicated to my good friend, David J. Bishop, who went home to be with his Lord Jesus on July 1, 2021. David was the inspiration for me to begin posting links to sermons for the hearing impaired. David's not deaf anymore. And the first words he heard were from our Lord Jesus, saying to him, "Well done, David, thou good and faithful servant. Enter into the joy of thy Lord!" [Matthew 25:21]

Here is one of the last pictures David sent to me before he died. He was a big sports fan and LOVED the Seattle Seahawks! He was also a BIG baseball fan. I'm sure if David had been able to hear he would have loved the song, Take Me Out to the Ball Game! But David loved our Lord Jesus much, much, much more than any sporting event! Oh, here is a video of Take Me Out to the Ball Game in American Sign Language! (ASL)

1773 – The hymn that became known as "Amazing Grace", then titled "1 Chronicles 17:16–17, Faith's Review and Expectation", is first used to accompany a sermon led by John Newton in the town of Olney, Buckinghamshire, England.[24]

Here is a poem by John Newton (1725-1807): I Asked the Lord That I Might Grow (Video)

You may recognize John Newton as the author of that wonderful hymn Amazing Grace. It has been claimed that You Tube has recordings of Amazing Grace in over 50 Languages (source). Here are just a few: Spanish, German, Cherokee, French, Korean, Swedish, Russian, Japanese, Arabic, Lumbee, Chinese and Tagalog.

Dr. J. I. Packer had to say about Amazing Grace: "Yet we in our day, much as we love to sing Amazing Grace (I suppose because we like the tune), are not inwardly amazed by grace as the Puritans were; it does not startle us that the holy Creator should receive sinners into his company; rather, we take it for granted! 'God will forgive. That's his job!' was the final scoff with which the French cynic went to meet his Maker."

A lesser know hymn written by John Newton is Day of Judgment, Day of Wonders. To learn more about John Newton, check out these 2 sermons by Rev. Lee Sterritt:
