Great Sermon! So glad to hear someone addressing false teachers and gospels. Just because someone is smooth talking, and appears caring and loving, doesn't mean they bring you the gospel. Or the truth! It's scary!
I lost a gospel believing friend to modernism because she loved her gay brother and couldn't reconcile his sin with the gospel of repentance, and holy and blameless living (Eph 1:4). Thank God that us "EX GAYS" have finally begun to come out and demonstrate the power of the true gospel.
Thank you for fighting for the TRUTH, our JESUS and Him alone! NO COMPROMISE!
Very Grounding An excellent 5 part series on Manhood. Pastor Patrick also has an Excellent 5 part series on Womanhood. I listened to them both. Then i texted and emailed them to everyone I know. Very Enriching. Very Grounding.
Great Sermon! One of the best sermons from you I have heard. Not that all of them are not great, but this one resonated at this point in my life. I have listened to it with my wife several times and my mother-in-law has listened to it a couple of times so far. I had a kidney transplant years ago ( after being on dialysis for six and a half years). I'm doing really well, working full-time and started a family. I am really appreciative for the word of God and oh, how I love his law. When people questioned God on my life because of what I was going through, I told them that what I am enduring was absolutely necessary. Through no fault of my own, (that I know of) I endured everything and the Lord saw me through the way He decreed. Praise His name. Thanks Pastor for being hermeneutically sound, when nowadays the Bible is twisted to fit self instead of the truth
Hi Starr We've been lied to by a cultural revolution whose spokespersons repeat the same thing over and over again about sexual orientation being a real and fixed category of human personhood. The revolutionaries repeat the same thing over and over again like nuts. It is going to take refuting it over and over again to overturn it.
Biblical Creation vs Theories An excellent discussion on biblical creation versus scientific theories and the very bad attempt to reconcile the two with The Gap Theory. Young Earth, the catastrophic flood, fossil records, geology are compatible with scripture without erroneous exegesis. Good and easy listening, recommended to share.
Exposing misquoters! It's a good lesson for wannabee heresy hunters. There is much research and time involved in this sort of thing, and Patrick here has carefully and painstakingly exposed the wickedness of partially quoting great Reformers, the cause of which was to deceive others into thinking John Piper's stance was an historic one in terms of Reformed thinking. Clearly - thanks to this excellent message - it is not, but rather a grievous error and a false gospel. The church needs deep thinkers to counter this sort of thing, and we should praise God for them.
Refuting Error! Comparing what John Piper preaches against the timeless WCF is actually quite a good way of exposing his error, and makes me appreciate the work that men of God did in formulating the great confessions. Going through the fundamental doctrines of justification, sanctification and saving faith, along with looking at the relevance of works performed by God's elect, I found to be most profitable and heart-warming, which the gospel of Jesus Christ always is. Thanks!
Thank you Nathan from Notre Dame, Indiana (PCA) Thank you for your continued service to our God. Your podcasts are a wonderful resource for faithful teaching from a reformed perspective when more mainstream podcasts, e.g. Ligonier, appear to be moving in a more inclusive direction by having more Baptist ministers on. Your plain teaching is a breath of fresh air in this culture.
Great Sermon! I do not agree with Claudia from N.C.. I see no harm in pointing out heresy. When I read or hear from men or women who misconstrue God’s infallible word with doctrines of demons, I cringe and I painfully cry out to God in pity for the insanity going on in HIS church.
I encourage those men who will stand up boldly for our God with the truth! This is one of the myriads of reasons why our Lord stands outside the Laodicean church of today, knocking on the door of our hearts. We are either in a lethargic sleep, dead, insensitive to the Holy Spirit Of God, or just too caught up in our own crumbling, hopeless world.
Oh God, send more men who will stand for truth in righteousness! Because the battle for truth is almost a comedic joke!
