Ligonier Ministries: The Early Years of Jesus' Life: Dust to Glory with R.C. Sproul

Here are some quotes from the late RC Sproul (1939-2017):

"While God-given, the conscience has certain limitations in its ability to discern right from wrong. To hold a razor's edge, it must constantly be informed by the Word of God."
"We often hear the question, 'What happens to the poor innocent native in Africa who never had an opportunity to hear the gospel?'...Nothing happens to the poor innocent native who never had an opportunity to hear the gospel. Innocent people don't need salvation."
"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?"
"It is to Rome's credit, in my opinion, that she placed anathema on what she believed to be a false and heretical gospel. If sola fide is a distortion of the biblical gospel, surely it deserves such anathema. If the Reformers were preaching and teaching a false gospel, then they were apostate and deserved the labels put on them by Vatican I, 'schismatics and heretics.'"
"The Reformation was waged, not over the question 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."
"I said that if justification by faith alone is essential for salvation, and if Rome rejects justification by faith alone, then the conclusion follows by resistless logic that Rome rejects an essential truth of Christianity. When I use the word, if, here, I do so for the sake of the present argument. In my mind, there is no if about it. I am convinced, as were the Reformers, that justification by faith alone is essential to the gospel, and that Rome clearly rejects it."
"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."
"To indicate that the Roman view is inadequate, or it falls short, is a gentle criticism. In my estimation, it is too gentle. One could construe this statement to mean that, though it has shortcomings and is less than adequate, the Roman 'version of the gospel' is still just that, a 'version of the gospel.' The New Testament makes it clear that there is only one gospel. An 'inadequate' gospel is not the gospel. A gospel that 'falls short' of its essence is not a true gospel and must be vigorously rejected."
"I can imagine no Reformed theologian from the 16th century to the present day suggesting that the Roman Catholic view is not a serious threat to the gospel."

The Danger of Christmas - When the Symbols Replace the Savior, by Pastor Kevin Swanson

Here is a Hymn Based on Psalm 29: Now Unto Jehovah, Ye Sons of the Mighty

(A Psalm of David.) "Give unto the LORD, O ye mighty, give unto the LORD glory and strength. Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness. The voice of the LORD is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth: the LORD is upon many waters. The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is full of majesty. The voice of the LORD breaketh the cedars; yea, the LORD breaketh the cedars of Lebanon. He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn. The voice of the LORD divideth the flames of fire. The voice of the LORD shaketh the wilderness; the LORD shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh. The voice of the LORD maketh the hinds to calve, and discovereth the forests: and in his temple doth every one speak of his glory. The LORD sitteth upon the flood; yea, the LORD sitteth King for ever. The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD will bless his people with peace." - Psalm 29

People don't seem to understand that a third of all the dollars ever created in the history of the United States were printed from nothing over the last 22 months. So, this bill is coming due."

"You should view these politicians with the deepest contempt you can possibly imagine. What they are doing to this country, what they are doing to our finances - there is not a criminal in any federal prison, state prison, city or county jail with respect to financial crimes of any sort who collectively could have done the kind of damage that Barack Obama and Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi and yes, willing, timid, gutless Republicans have done to this country! To your future, to your children and your grandchildren. What they are doing is with malice and with forethought." - Mark Levin (source)
"If you knew that you could live in luxury for the rest of your life but that by doing so it would absolutely destroy the future of your children, your grandchildren, and your great-grandchildren, would you do it? Well, that is exactly what we are doing as a nation. Over the past several decades we have stolen $15 trillion dollars from future generations so that we could enjoy a dramatically inflated level of prosperity. Our 15 trillion dollar party has been a lot of fun, but what we have done to our children and our grandchildren has been beyond criminal. We ran up the greatest mountain of debt in the history of the planet and we are sticking them with the bill. Sadly, both political parties have been responsible for the big spending that has been going on." (The Economiccollapseblog.com)
"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the majority discover it can vote itself largess out of the public treasury. After that, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits with the result the democracy collapses because of the loose fiscal policy ensuing, always to be followed by a dictatorship and then a monarchy."

Daily Sermon for the Hearing Impaired: The Church of Ephesus

The Church of Ephesus, by Joe W. Allen [Text: Revelation 2:1-7]

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

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)

Here are 2 great Christmas poems:

'Twas the Night Before Jesus Came
'Twas the Light Before Christmas

I got this second poem from Jason Cooley's message: 5 Facts About Christmas:

‘Twas the night before Christmas and strange as it seams

I wasn’t indulging in covetous dreams

But while reading my Bible I searched for a clue

Why Christians take part in this holiday too

I plainly could see that it carried his name

But the spirit behind it just wasn’t the same

The song spoke of wise men, of virgin and child,

Of shepherds of God and all men reconciled

But nothing was said of the blood of the cross

Of repentance and faith and counting the cost.

They sang of the babe, his miraculous birth

But not of the day when he shall judge the whole earth.

My Bible said nothing of Santa and toys

Of frosty the snowman and small drummer boys

A reference to Rudolph not once did I see

But it seems that Jeremiah did once mention the tree

I sat and I pondered this curious matter

When out on the roof there arose such a clatter

That I knew in a moment he soon would be here

So I prayed in the spirit and said without fear

He slipped down the chimney Quick as a flash

And stepped from the fireplace all covered with ash

There stood St. Nick with his bag and his beard

He looked at the Bible I held and he sneered

Another fanatical Christian I see

No stockings no holly no pictures of me

I asked him if Jesus was God in the flesh

He said that was something he couldn’t confess

He said I am Santa I have come from afar

I stood in the truth, “The Devil you are!”

That suit and that beard doesn’t fool me one bit

Your jolly deception is straight from the pit!

Beneath all you’re ho ho ho Lucifer lurks

With your all seeing eyes and your gospel of works

Like a thief in the night you impersonate Christ

Returning to judge the naughty and nice

So call Christmas pagan he said, that’s OK

'Cause that’s what my sons at the Watchtower say.

You’ll look like a pagan or like a deceiver

But none will suspect you of being a believer

I said, I don’t care what your servants will say,

My loyalty lies with the Ancient of Days.
No matter how many abuses are hurled

My Bible says “Be not conformed to this world.”

You have no power and no part of me,

So I stand on God’s Word and command you to flee.

He squealed like a pig that was stuck with a knife

He ran to the chimney and climbed for his life.

And I heard him exclaim as he drove out of sight

Merry X-Mas to all and to all a dark night!

Here is a Hymn Based on Psalm 27: Jehovah is My Light

(A Psalm of David.) "The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell. Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident. One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple. For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock. And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD. Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me. When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek. Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation. When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up. Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies. Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty. I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.." Psalm 27
