When declaring Independence from King George III of England, the American founding fathers also declared their dependence upon God! Many well-meaning preachers and other Christians cause a good deal of confusion on this matter which we will discuss. https://bbfohio.com

Paul comforts and warns the church the coming day of judgement from the Lord. He comforts them that they have not missed the rapture and are fasting God's wrath because that day will not come until the Anti-Christ is revealed.

We think we'll be blessed and happy if we stay positive, but Jesus says happy are the sad. Happy are those who suffer in this life knowing they will have great rewards in the next life. Consider the lives of spiritual giants like George Mueller, Jim and Elisabeth Elliott, and the Prophet Jeremiah. Think about the great joy they had in the midst of their suffering. Dustin Kensrue concludes his song, "It is Finished", by saying, "Lift your head and weep no more." Rejoice in the midst of your suffering for blessed and happy are the sad.

Dearly beloved congregation of our Lord Jesus Christ, the notice in our text this evening is rather bleak and definitely heartbreaking. The children of Israel did not heed Moses, because they couldn't breathe. Now, you don't need me to relate this text to the wave of protests that swept the USA and indeed the whole world last summer. That wave of protests was triggered by George Floyd's dying words, "I can't breathe." Well, brothers and sisters, Scripture tells us that this was the harsh lot of the people of God under Pharaoh's bondage. Even worse, the people's inability to breathe is followed up in short succession by Moses' inability to speak. The man God sent to announce His deliverance wasn't able to properly express what he had been sent to say. What a mess we are. We can't even breathe properly. Our leaders, our spokesmen who are supposed to speak truth to power, have uncircumcised lips. Yet sandwiched between these two reasons for despair comes God's demand that Pharaoh be told to let Israel go. As we will see over the next several chapters, God's word is going to prevail. Despite the people's shortness of breath, despite Moses' foul mouth, God could and did free them. Why? Because His promises are superior to all circumstances, feelings, and defilements/lacks.

The events which took place in our nation this past week have dismayed us. What should we do? How should we think about what has happened? In this message I want to show you how we should pray, in light of these dire political events which have come to us. Unfortunately, I believe that these great difficulties will continue coming to our nation, if we do not repent of our sins, and turn to God for help and salvation, in greater numbers. We all want to see God come and intervene on our behalf, but are we willing to pray in the way that these godly men did? I believe that it is essential to our spiritual well-being as a nation that we pray.

The Preface to this autobiographical history of the founding of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church by Robert K. Churchill

Includes a brief Memorial of the 250th Anniversary of George Whitfield's death.

"The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;" "To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD..." [Isaiah 61:1-2]

This is the first in a series of sermons being preached in the light of events in the UK and the United States. It is occasioned by the killing of George Floyd at the hands of a white policeman in Minneapolis, and the protests which have followed. This has brought to light questions about race and, very importantly, racism. Questions about the police in the US and the UK, have given rise wider questioning? Are they racist? This has been particularly asked of white majority culture. Is it intrinsically racist? How are we to understand our origins? Paul answers it for us in Acts 17:26. He is preaching to the supposedly wise people of Athens. So Paul takes them back to basics including the origin of man. He tells the people that we are descended from one blood. The Bible is sounding the death knell for racism. It has no place for it. The teaching that we are all descended from one blood spells the end of racism, if followed logically and as God intends . In Charles Darwin's second book, 'The Descent of Man', he offered some thoughts about different races. Some races that he had encountered, he had called 'savages'. Although Darwin would perhaps not have agreed where his followers eventually took things, but some followed the logic of what his theory was pointing to and advocated more vigorous efforts to persuade, what were seen as inferior races, from breeding and continuing. This logic eventually led to Nazism and the forced extermination of the Jews. His theory enabled racism to flourish and even gave it scientific credibility. Even supporters of Darwin admit that his theory allowed racism to move ahead.
