Vision Forum: Vision of Legalism Back in 1998, Vision Forum was founded, but was closed back in 2013, particularly November 2013 due to allegations of marital infidelity and sexual abuse by Doug Phillips. As noted, the formerly operating Vision Forum, which was founded by Doug Phillips, really had a vision, a vision of legalism. Some passages like Colossians 02, particularly Colossians 02:20-23, are one response to legalism. We realize that legalism with its "rules" is like pushing a heavy crate up a hill only to get crushed by said heavy crate. We must reject the temptation to embody the heavy weight of legalism and the excessive gravity carried by it in response to licentiousness, even licentiousness in the church. This podcast shows that we must not be legalistic robots or licentious rebels, for both are a recipe leading to disaster.
Enjoyed this exposition of a very overlooked subj A good subject to cover and remind believers that the Last Day Resurrection is what Paul looked forward to and expects other believers to hope in. One might ask "Why is there a resurrection if a person is already in Heaven?" to which I quote Paul, "For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised." 12 references to the dead in the NT refers to them as being "asleep" which is their state until the Last Day when Jesus says that that is the occassion when He will "raise them up".
Enjoyed this Sermon! I almost passed by the sermon. Because I've never read the book Pilgrim's Progress. Having dyslexic tendencies keeps me from reading a lot of books. I enjoy Brian's way of conveying a message and thoroughly enjoyed this video. Keep them coming brother keep him coming.
Powerful Sermon! I plan on sharing this excellent sermon with others I’ve met in Grief Share. Brian Borgman’s message is like healing balm for sorrowing ones. May the God of all comfort grant the families of the young man His tender touch of love and Grace.
Great Sermon! Well done! My soul is rejoicing! Death has no sting for those whose sins have been forgiven through Christ’s death (and that truth is proved by His resurrection). I really like the picture of death as a schoolyard bully who cannot frighten us because we have a big brother who protects us.
Wonderful Sermon! Absolutely love the book of Romans. And I never tire of listening to Brian expound on it. Another wonderful sermon! Love the illustration of the rope; election and responsibility together. One of my favorite sermon from Brian is called exercising self-control (part 1 & 2). Very helpful to me. Please keep these sermons coming. Thank you. To God be the glory.
Praying for Your Work! This is very inspiring. I am praying for your work, dear brother. I firmly believe that God's Work is only successful
when Men go out on their knees, so I am praying for you and all the other faithful brothers giving their lives for this work.
