Ron Hoffman: “‘Equity’ spits in the face of Paul’s ‘if you don’t work neither shall you eat'”
“Equity spits in the face of ‘if you don’t work neither shall you eat.'”
– Ron Hoffman, 5/7/23
Paul:
“For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat. For we hear that there are some who walk among you in a disorderly manner, not working at all, but are busybodies. Now those who are such we command and exhort through our Lord Jesus Christ that they work in quietness and eat their own bread.” – 2 Thess. 3:10-12
“Is a little bit of pleasure you receive from lust worth everything: your life, your soul, your eternity?” – Kerrigan Skelly
Kerrigan Skelly explains how Jesus’ lust warning in Matthew 5 is absolutely serious! @ 39:00
“What I think Jesus is trying to communicate right here using hyperbole [overstatement to make a graphic point] is to teach this truth:
Do whatever it takes to get rid of the sin. Do whatever it takes. Why? Because your sin will cost you everything, everything in the end. And it’s better to lose whatever you have to lose than to keep sinning and lose Jesus and salvation. It’s better to get rid of whatever you need to get rid of to stop from going to eternal hell in the end.
Lust also many times involves the use of your hand or your hands. The same principle applies to verse 30 as to verse 29.
The question remains: is a little bit of pleasure you receive from lust worth everything: your life, your soul, your eternity? And if you answer ‘no,’ you need to prove it by your actions.” Continue reading ““Is a little bit of pleasure you receive from lust worth everything: your life, your soul, your eternity?” – Kerrigan Skelly”
Tom Cobaugh: God’s moral principles are a castle, not a prison — our protective walls and moat!
God’s moral principles are a castle: strong walls and a moat that protects us from the destructive influences of Satan, the world and our own sin nature — our refuge!
‘Do you see God’s moral principles as a prison that keeps you from doing what you want, or as a castle that protects you from the destructive influences of Satan, the world and your own sin nature?’

Prov. 3:5-6: “Trust in the LORD with ALL your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in ALL your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight”
“Trust in the LORD with ALL your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in ALL your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.” – Prov. 3:5-6 MSB
David Pawson: “The church follows the world, only 15 years later. Christian men ought to be leading society uphill”
“Christian men ought to be leading society uphill, rather than following society downhill. But it seems to me that the church follows the world, only 15 years later. … The world accepted homosexuality 20 years ago, the church is just now beginning to accept it. … Christians are just slowly following the world downhill.”
Unbiblical Pastors Affirm Unbiblical Teachers
“When a pastor departs from the Biblical gospel, do not be surprised when he affirms unbiblical and unqualified teachers.” – Ekkie Tepsupornchai
Don McClain: Why is false doctrine so dangerous? — “A lot of people believe error today because it’s what they want to believe”
“A lot of people believe error today because it’s what they want to believe.” – Don McClain
49:40 Don knows someone who changed his or her view on who goes to heaven because a loved one died, and this person wanted to believe that his or her loved one went to heaven. Don then says: “you can change your views about it. That’s not going to save your friend if it’s not true.”
50:30 “I’ve known preachers who changed their view on marriage-divorce-remarriage because one of their children unscripturally divorced and remarried unscripturally. … People do oftentimes change their views because of what they want to believe.”
54:30 Black mamba snakes can kill humans in just minutes. “We should be afraid of error, because error is much more serious than a black mamba. A black mamba can kill the body, but it can’t kill the soul. False doctrine can.
1:01:50 Christian ‘liberty’ is “liberty from sin, not liberty from the authority of Christ.”

Prophets and apostles weren’t hated for preaching “love, love, love!”

They were hated for teaching TRUTH!
John Burton: “So many pastors go out of their way confirming people’s salvation. I don’t see this approach in Scripture; it’s actually quite the opposite. Great fear and terrible trembling must overtake us daily. It will determine where we will spend forever”
“So many pastors go out of their way confirming people’s salvation. I don’t see this approach in Scripture; it’s actually quite the opposite. Great fear and terrible trembling must overtake us daily. It will determine where we will spend forever”
John Burton on Facebook, 8/16/22
So many pastors go out of their way confirming people’s salvation. They make it easy to get saved. They want them to feel secure in their eternity. Why? I don’t see this approach in Scripture. It’s actually quite the opposite.
There should be a never-ending wrestling match regarding our position in Christ. It’s common to lose it, challenging to retain it.
It costs everything. It’s never settled until we die.
Great fear and terrible trembling must overtake us daily. It will determine where we will spend forever.
John Michael Talbot: ‘Would You Crucify Him’ – “You say that Jesus didn’t mean what He was plainly sayin’. But like the Pharisee, my friend, you’re an educated fool!”
She’s askin’, How many times have you looked down to the harlot
Lookin’ through her tears, pretendin’ you don’t know?
For once you were just like her, how can you be now so self-righteous
When in the name of the Lord you throw the first stone
So now I turn to you through your years of your robes and stained-glass windows
Do you vainly echo your prayers “say you’re pleasing the Lord?”
You profess the Marriage with your tongue, but your mind dreams like the harlot
But if the Judge looks to your thoughts can’t you guess your reward?
Yet how many times have you quoted from your Bible
To justify your eye for your eye and your tooth for your tooth?
You say that Jesus didn’t mean what He was plainly sayin’
But like the Pharisee, my friend, you’re an educated fool!

Tozer: “Awful Spiritual Mess Today (Died 1963)” — Real Christianity even rare then; 10 times rarer today?!
According to A.W. Tozer, real Christianity was even rare in the mid-20th century!
It’s probably 10 times worse today — at least 60 years later!
“Better to speak the truth that hurts and then heals, than falsehood that comforts and then kills”
We must actually abide in Christ to “be in Christ,” to have “no condemnation” — saving faith, peace and unity.

“It is better to speak the truth that hurts and then heals, than falsehood that comforts and then kills. It is better to be hated for telling the truth than to be loved for telling a lie. It is better to stand alone with the truth, than to be wrong with a multitude.” – Adrian Rogers

“Romans 11:22 says, ‘behold the goodness and the severity of God.’ We underestimate both.” – James Hamilton
Seeking the Approval of men?
“I had to learn with time to let go of what people think and their approval of me. Since that day, I speak the truth and I don’t care what happens. If I am persecuted, I try to learn to remain humble and rejoice in these trials…. If we put our trust in other people we will always be disappointed, because people are not perfect. Only Jesus is perfect. Only He is faithful.” – George
“For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.” – Paul in Gal. 1:10
“How can you believe, when you receive glory from one another and do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?” – Jesus in John 5:44

Dr. Lorraine Day: “People have left God…. We’re not going to take America back”
32:40 “Unless God has opened your mind to truth you can’t understand truth, and you don’t want to know truth. … It’s not about taking America back. We’re not going to take America back. … The plan is there, and the Bible tells us what is going to happen. And the reason that it’s happening is people have left God.” She quotes the famous quote that is apparently falsely attributed to Alexis de Tocqueville: “America is great because America is good. If America ever ceases to be good America will cease to be great.”

Dan Fagan: “You have to be willing to be hated” | Jesus: “You will be hated by all men for my name’s sake” “Blessed are you when men hate, exclude and mock you…”
Dan Fagan:
“You have to be willing to be hated.”
“Are you just someone who goes through life and wants to be as popular as can be, and you’ll say whatever you have to say to make sure that you’re liked by the most people? It’s very tempting to be wanted to be liked.”
Jesus:
“Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.” Matthew 5:11-12
“You will be hated by all men for my name’s sake, but he who endures to the end, the same will be saved.” – Mark 13:13
“Blessed are you when men shall hate you, and when they shall exclude and mock you, and throw out your name as evil, for the Son of Man’s sake. Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven, for their fathers did the same thing to the prophets.” – Luke 6:22-23
