It Is Written:
Three of the Most Important Words a Christian can ever Learn

1/30/10

Churches like countries, have an evil tendency to degeneration; we have fought to preserve our national freedom in this country, let us now ardently preserve historical biblical Christianity. From the very beginning of Christianity subjectivism has made its hourly encroachments and now modern Christianity is drunk on heart-centered popish theology in which supercharged experience is lord over verbal revelation. An historic shift is occurring in 21st Christianity away from Pauline doctrine back to medieval paganism with its emphasis and trust in heart-centered experience.Heart-centered teachers because of public infatuation have risen into renown, who not knowing the Truth have corrupted the church by introducing the wooden horse of subjectivism into the Trojan fortress of Christianity and thereby have confounded the Truth of Judeo-Christian theology. Where did our Lord place His trust and confidence in dealing with the most difficult battle of His earthly life? Christ trusted in God’s Word Alone and not in His experiences or feelings. His confidence was in the verbal inspiration of all of God’s Word Mat 3:16-17 The Lord Jesus believed in verbal inspiration.

How To Protect Your Family From Satan by Scripture Alone

How to Protect Your Family from Satan by Scripture Alone

1/24/10 Sermon

For the past two centuries Christianity has been subjected to an unrelenting barrage of criticism from scientists who have argued that many historical statements in the Bible are wrong; that man, and the universe as well, evolved—they were not created; that the Bible’s view of the universe is primitive and mythological; and that the Christian view of God and man cannot be reconciled with our modern scientific discoveries.

In the popular mind, the modern phrase, “ it has been scientifically proved” has replaced the Biblical phrase “ thus says the Lord,” as the final court of appeal.

In The Philosophy of Science and Belief in God, Dr. Gordon H. Clark analyzes science from a Biblical and logical perspective. His conclusions are rather startling, perhaps not to scientists themselves, but to many laymen who have been deceived by modern idolatry of science. Science, says Dr. Clark, can offer no objection to either God or the Bible, for science can never discover truth. It is ever learning but never able to come to the knowledge of truth. Dr. John Robbins

What Truth Is and What It Is Not

1/17/10

What Truth is and What it is Not

Today when you ask Christians what is truth they give many different answers. Some say that truth is personal and not propositional. Others assert that truth is found in sensation, percepts, concepts, experiences, observations, science, psychology, and archeology and in human reasoning apart from Scripture. Christians are not unified in their definition of truth.

Purpose: To learn from Scripture what truth is and what it is not so that we learn to trust God’s Word alone as the only source for our belief and godly living.

What Is The Philosophy Of A Free Society?

Listen to complete sermon 12/27/09

What is the Philosophy of a Free Society?

Can you provide either a coherent foundation for a free society or a coherent description of a free society? We cannot defend the principle of freedom because we do not know the contents of freedom. Jesus said in John 8:32,

Joh 8:32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

It is so tragic that we are living in a country where we are losing our freedoms every day and moving toward totalitarianism and we do not have leaders that are teaching us the nature of freedom or how to defend it or maintain it. You will never learn about God’s philosophy of freedom in an American school system.

Purpose: To learn from Scripture the Philosophy of a Free Society

1. We started a series titled, “The Five Fundamentals of Christianity.  These five fundamentals are

(1) Scripture Alone (2) Christ Alone (3) Grace Alone (4) Faith Alone (5) To the Glory of God Alone

2. We want to look at Scripture Alone today as the foundation on which a free society is created.

The first question for every leader of a free society to ask is, “What is truth?”

Why Was Christ Born

Audio For Why Was Christ Born – December 20, 2009

Why was Christ born?

Intro: Why would you say that Christ was born? Perhaps you might say that Christ was born to save sinners and you would be correct. However, that is the derivative reason and not the fundamental reason. The primary reason for the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ was for the glory of God.

Purpose: To learn from Scripture that the primary purpose for Christ being born was for the glory of God and that the salvation of His people is subsumed under that doctrine. In other words, doxology takes priority and preeminence over soteriology.

1. Why did God make you and all things?  For His own glory. We are so man-centered in our theology that we think that God made the world for mankind. We think that God is man-centered. The Scripture ,however, states that God is God-centered.

Pro 16:4 The LORD has made all for Himself, Yes, even the wicked for the day of doom.

Rom 11:36 For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be glory forever. Amen.

Isa 43:7 Everyone who is called by My name, Whom I have created for My glory; I have formed him, yes, I have made him.” Psa 19:1 To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of  God; And the firmament shows His handiwork.

Psa 8:1 To the Chief Musician. On the Instrument of Gath. A Psalm of David. O LORD, our Lord, How excellent is Your name in all the earth, Who have set Your glory above the heavens!

2. God’s goal is His own glory. He seeks His glory in all that He does.

Joh 8:50 And I do not seek My own glory; there is One who seeks and judges.

Exo 14:17 And I indeed will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall follow them. So I will gain honor over Pharaoh and over all his army, his chariots, and his horsemen.

Exo 14:18 Then the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I have gained honor for Myself over Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen.”

Isa 43:25 “I, even I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake; And I will not remember your sins.

Isa 63:5 I looked, but there was no one to help, And I wondered That there was no one to uphold; Therefore My own arm brought salvation for Me; And My own fury, it sustained Me.

The Five Fundamentals Of Christianity

Audio For The Five Fundamentals of Christianity – Dec. 13, 2009

The Five Fundamentals of Christianity

Truth is a system of thought. To understand Christianity and to grow in Christ a Christian must think like Christ, systematically and systemically. The five fundamentals of Christianity provide a Christian with a biblical framework to begin organizing their minds under a doctrinal hierarchy of thought. A Christian’s discernment is only as sound as the system from which they reason. If their system of thought is a confounded, comingling of human viewpoint and divine viewpoint then their judgment will be unsound, their minds will be confused and they will be unwittingly led by Satan.

Purpose: To learn the five fundamentals of Christianity in order to think like Christ and to live like Christ to the glory of God.

1. Scripture Alone—2. Christ Alone 3. Grace Alone 4. Faith Alone 5. The Glory of God Alone — The order is highly instructive and the qualifying word ‘Alone’ is of monumental significance. In the order God tells us where to begin our thinking and why we are to begin with Scripture and why we are not to begin with any other starting point. The word ‘Alone’ in each of the five fundamentals’ begins the godly process of separating in our minds God’s truth from Satan’s error.

Sovereignty and Responsibility

Audio For Sovereignty and Responsibility-October 25 2009

Sovereignty is Sanity


God’s Sovereignty and Man’s Responsibility the Problem Solved

How can man be responsible for his sins if God ordains everything a man thinks, says and does?

Purpose: To learn how Scripture harmonizes God’s sovereignty and man’s responsibility without compromising God’s holiness and reducing man to a mindless puppet.

1. Concept: Armenian theologians have taught the doctrine of free will as the logical ground for man’s responsibility. They also believe that the doctrine of free will protects God’s holiness. The doctrine of free will states that since God gave man a free independent will and man freely chose to sin then man is the independent cause of his sin. Therefore man’s free will makes him responsible for his sins. Man’s free independent will makes man the author of his sin and not God. Because God is not the cause of man’s sin. If God was the cause of man’s sin then ,in the Armenian mind, that would logically make God the Author of sin.

2. Concept: The Sovereigntist theologians state that Scripture clearly teaches that God ordains all things both good and evil without compromising His holiness and without logically abandoning the doctrine of man’s responsibility.

3. Concept:  Both doctrines cannot be true. The Bible does not teach contradictions.

4. Concept: The Bible teaches that all men are responsible.

Christians are responsible for their lives.

How To Renew Your Mind

How To Renew Your Mind Nov. 15, 2009

How to Renew Your Mind


What is it that Satan wants control of? Your mind!  What does the Holy Spirit want to dominate? Your mind! Where is the Christian life lived? In your mind! What does the Bible say about your thoughts? That you are your thoughts! Where does belief and unbelief take place? In your mind! Evil and good are mental ideas. Love, joy and peace are mental and not emotional in nature. Jesus stated that adultery was first of all committed in the mind of a person before they physically commit the sin.

Mat 5:28 But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

The book of Proverbs teaches us the monumental importance of being in control of our thought life.

Pro 4:23  Keep your heart (mind) with all diligence, For out of it spring the issues of life.

The quality of your life and stability of your soul is all based on the kinds of thoughts that you believe moment by moment.

Purpose: To learn for Scripture how to renew our minds and bring every thought in to  the obedience of Christ.
