Sunday July 20th sermon: "When Christians Are Attacked -- Why Do Tragedies Happen? (Pt 2)" The recent Israeli attacks against Palestinian Christians illustrate how the hatred of Christ by the wicked brings out the blessings of God for His saints! sermonaudio.com/sermons/724252…
“I’ll reject a perfectly reasonable explanation for the relationship between God’s Providence and man’s will … I won’t try to demonstrate that it isn’t reasonable. I’ll just appeal to mystery and criticize those who seek to give those explanations.” —
Modern Reformed guys on X: “No! We can’t just appeal to mystery. Here is a perfectly reasonable explanation for the relationship between God’s providence and man’s will.” Old dead Reformed guys: “Here is a sermon titled ‘The Mystery of Providence.’ Signed, John Murray.”
Sunday July 13th sermon: "God Ordains the Floods -- Why Do Tragedies Happen? (Pt 1)" God brings about all tragedies for His glory & good for His loved ones. He brings about our death to shear off our corrupt bodies and bring us perfect into His presence! sermonaudio.com/sermons/719252…
Sunday July 6th sermon: "Our Resurrection and Christ's Are Forever Entangled" Christ's resurrection ensures that He can & will raise up all His loved ones who have trusted in Him, as He promised us. God promised Christ that He would never see corruption! sermonaudio.com/sermons/716252…
Praise God

This is perfect contrasting examples of what Christian maturity looks like (from @Soteriology101) and what pure hatred of an ideology and immaturity looks like (from @The_Idol_Killer). It seems Warren has learned nothing of Christian charity in from his discussions with Leighton.
Join me in praying for the MacArthur family and Grace Bible Church. 🙏
Sunday June 29th sermon: "Boldness Through Faith in Christ -- Our True Source of Bravery (Pt 9)" Our true source of boldness and confidence before God is found by faith in the Gospel work of Christ Jesus. Our ethnic background has nothing to do with it! sermonaudio.com/sermons/711252…
New Episode: "Romans 8:5-13 Refuting Leighton Flowers & Provisionism" is now available. Podcast: consistentcalvinism.podbean.com Youtube: youtu.be/JpoNs_wSfzM?si…
A gift refused is an attempted gift/give which failed, and unless you find someone else to accept (or use it yourself) it becomes wasted. This is not the biblical view of the gift of salvation. It isn’t a package that we open. It is a gift bestowed (as was our gift of life).
What if I said there will be a new episode out this Friday? Would anyone believe it at this point?
Sunday June 22nd sermon: "Boldness Begets Boldness! Our True Source of Bravery (pt 8)" When Paul is persecuted for the Gospel's sake, that just spreads it further and further. Not only so, but his boldness prompts boldness in other saints! sermonaudio.com/sermons/629251…
Sunday June 15th sermon: "Prayers for Christ's Ambassadors' Boldness -- Our True Source of Bravery (Pt 7)" Paul was Christ's ambassador to the lost, yet he was treated cruelly by them. So he asked the saints to pray for boldness for his gospel witness. sermonaudio.com/sermons/620250…
I have been discussing "Permission" and the "Divine Decree" lately. I'm posting a longer response to try to clarify my position. I think it would also benefit my viewers. Please see the original thread with @TheProtestantP as well. Comments/discussion is welcome. My response:
So if God is not the efficient cause of sin, then how are you denying permission? I’m not the only one confused by the point you’re trying to make btw, you have at least three other people not understanding the disagreement you have with God’s permission of sin which you said…
We think it’s a contradiction because it is. To have LFW means that God is NOT “in charge” of your will. God -IS- in charge of every aspect of agents he creates, including their will. To “Determine” the aspects of something is literally what it means to be “in charge” of it.
Sunday June 1st sermon: "Paul Confronts the Synagogue -- Our True Source of Bravery (Pt 5)" When Paul preached the Gospel boldly by the Holy Ghost in the synagogue, many Jews and Greeks believed it, but others grew envious & expelled them from the city. sermonaudio.com/sermons/642517…
This is precisely correct and should be a major red flag.
Provisionism is designed, from the ground up, to be as inoffensive to the unregenerate man as possible. At no point will you hear them make a theological proclamation or truth claim that will cause a non-believer to view the gospel as either a stumbling block or foolishness.
I’ve got some “choice words” for those who make God into a schizophrenic fool. Then again… No one’s perfect. Even the best of the best.
Spurgeon had some choice words for those who don’t believe God wills the salvation of all.
Is man totally unable to respond positively to the grace of God? Natural vs. Moral ability.
Sunday May 18th sermon: "Overcoming Demonic Interference -- Our True Source of Bravery (Pt 4)" Paul's boldness in the Holy Ghost extends to denouncing an interfering demonic friend of a Gentile minor ruler in Paphos, who nevertheless believes the Gospel! sermonaudio.com/sermons/524252…
