Has the Church Misunderstood the Gospel for 2000 Years?

The Briefing for Monday, August 25, 2025, by Dr. R. Albert Mohler, Jr.

Dr. Mohler gives a wonderful tribute to the late Dr. John McArthur. And he ends by saying that in the last week the church has lost 2 giant warriors - Dr. John MacArthur and Dr. James Dobson. And he prays that God will rise up warriors to take their place. Amen!

 The Briefing for Friday, August 15, 2025, by Dr. R. Albert Mohler, Jr.

Excerpt from this last Briefing: Dr. Mohler is asked why Christian ministers aren't better at doing exorcisms. He says, on the one hand, it is impossible for Christians to be demon possessed. And for the non-Christian, demon possession is the least of their problems!

Amen!

Excerpt from this article: "According to “The Black Book of Communism: Crimes, Terror, Repression,” a text considered the standard recollection of the USSR’s atrocities, 20 million perished as a result of Stalin’s targeted killings, forced labor, famine, and collectivization. These numbers were confirmed by a major Soviet newspaper in 1989...An estimate cited by the libertarian magazine Reason puts the total number of people killed because of communism from 1900 to 2000 at a staggering 94 million — making it by far the bloodiest ideology in recent history."----------------------------------------------------------------------

Here is a quote from David Rockefeller: "We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost 40 years......It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supernational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national autodetermination practiced in past centuries.”  (Memoirs)

What is Your Life? by Pastor Charles Spurgeon


Here is a quote from another sermon by Pastor Spurgeon: "But did I hear you whisper that this was not a convenient time? Then what must I say to you? When will that convenient time come? Shall it come when you are in hell? Will that time be convenient? Shall it come when you are on your dying bed, and the death throttle is in your throat—shall it come then? Or when the burning sweat is scalding your brow; and then again, when the cold clammy sweat is there, shall those be convenient times? When pains are racking you, and you are on the borders of the tomb? No, sir, this morning is the convenient time. May God make it so. Remember, I have no authority to ask you to come to Christ to-morrow. The Master has given you no invitation to come to him next Tuesday. The invitation is, 'To-day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts as in the provocation,' for the Spirit saith 'to-day.' 'Come now and let us reason together;' why should you put it off? It may be the last warning you shall ever have. Put it off, and you may never weep again in chapel...".- from Spurgeon' Sermon Compel Them To Come In

Here is a Hymn Based on Psalm 146: Hallelujah, Praise Jehovah

"Praise ye the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul. While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being. Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help. His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish. Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God: Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever: Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. The LORD looseth the prisoners: The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind: the LORD raiseth them that are bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous: The LORD preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down. The LORD shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the LORD." Psalm 146

Daily Quote for Friday, December 5, 2025

"An advertisement keeps popping up for a new paraphrase of the Bible. It's a full page color photograph of a woman who appears to be young, sophisticated, well educated, with a hint of cynicism. 'Pastor,' the caption reads, 'if you want to reach me, you better watch your language.'The inside cover elaborates: 'Distracted by deadlines and bills, this is the only time she takes to nurture her spiritual life. You can't afford to lose her attention when you reference Bible passages that are too lofty and obscure.' Why can't a good pastor respond, 'No, this isn't about making things comfortable for you. If you are baptized, then this speech that the Bible uses is your language. You have to make an effort to understand it, to live in its world, and to breathe its air. If you are too distracted by deadlines and bills to take any time outside this one hour a week for your faith, then you'll pardon me for not losing the rest of my congregation to the world for you.'" - Dr. Michael Horton, A Better Way: Rediscovering the Drama of God-Centered Worship

I've listened to many of Eric Metaxis' videos, and rarely do I find much I disagree with. But after watching this video I have to wonder if he has watched any of Candace Owens' videos she has put out about TPUSA and Erick Kirk. I've watched a lot of them. In case he has not, I'm including some of them with this post. But before you watch them, take a look at this post I found on Linkedin: 

"One of the last things Charlie Kirk said before he was shot was how much he loves Mormons. 'I love how you send missionaries around the world. I love how polite you are. My team is Mormon—Terrel’s a Mormon, Andrew’s a Mormon. I’m an Evangelical Christian and we’re going to have fun with this, but I’m not one of those guys who hates on Mormons.'” - posted on linkedin


I don't hate Mormons either, but with the Apostle Paul, I hate the false gospel they teach..."But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed." - Galatians 1:8

And, with the Apostle John, I don't "LOVE" how their missionaries go around the world spreading this false gospel..."If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds." - 2 John 10,11

The following You Tube videos are not all by Canace Owens, but they include clips of things she has said about TPUSA and Erica Kirk. Judge for yourself whether Candace is just smearing a good person and a good organization, or whether further investigation is warranted. But start with these 2 videos first:

So, Bob Woodward knew Joe Biden was battling dementia over a hear and a half ago but chose to hide that information until his book came out!  Here is a fascinating book that questions whether Bob Woodward might have been a career intelligence officer before going into journalism: Deep Truth: The Lives of Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein

Here is an excerpt from this book: "Whenever you run a clandestine operation, you run two things at the same time: you prepare the team for the hit, and you keep it so small there's nobody to spread it all around. And across the hall is a big staff working on what we call special plans. They're preparing the cover story. The cover story is what they want people to believe and to talk about, and to argue about." - From a 1992 speech by Col. Fletcher Prouty, former chief of special operations, Joint Chief of Staff

A terrific opportunity to kill lots of Russians and to destroy lots of their military equipment at a relatively cheap cost to us? (Just don’t mention the price paid by Ukraine.) It gives new meaning to the expression 'making a killing' on the 'market.' To Gordon Gekko’s infamous 'greed is good' speech we must now add 'war is good.' That war is 'right.'

"In the blast that follows, a fireball spreads out over the target zone. It travels at one hundred times the speed of sound, rendering it silent. One-millionth of a second later, the people of Hiroshima began to incinerate."
"But Enola Gay is safe. All twelve men on board are alive. In six hours they will celebrate with whiskey and lemonade and spend the night far from the hell they have just created."
"The next day the chilling results of what the young officer saw from the air are reported on Japanese radio: 'Practically all living things, human and animal, were literally seared to death."
"[President] Truman's face lights up. 'This is the greatest thing in history...'"
"'Thank God for the atomic bomb' is a common refrain among American soldiers and sailors, who have been dreading the blood-bath sure to come if American troops invade the beaches of Japan. To many of them, the bombing of civilians is not an issue - it's payback for the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor."
"Oppenheimer soon leaves the stage, but not before bringing the house down with his final comment: 'My only regret is that we didn't develop the bomb in time to use it against the Germans.'"

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)
