...the fire in the preacher sent of God is not that of mere excitement, nor that alone of an intelligent judgment acting upon the passions; but there is also a mysterious influence resting on God’s...

You may or may not be interested, depending on how much an internet junky you are, but Faith Defenders now has its very own Facebook page too. I have set the page up to increase the audience we have, as Facebook is a heavily populated area of the internet, and all posts that are

Maybe it’s just me over reacting, or maybe it’s just the fact that I have been starved of the Word in the churches I have attended over the years, but I feel utterly blessed to find myself under the preaching in the fellowship I am now in at Calvary Chapel, Southampton. As much a

In light of it being Valentine’s day, I just thought it good to ponder for a moment what Jesus commands His own. “As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love. If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments

In my opinion, Gnosticism is like a huge cancerous growth that, although is often labelled as a branch of Christianity, is anything but. It is a form of religion that draws from a whole range of religious traditions, including the occult, eastern mysticism, astrology, magic, esot

O beloved, what glorious names our Lord deservedly wears! Whichever of his names you choose to dwell upon for a moment, what a mine of wealth and meaning it opens up to you! Here is this name, “El Shaddai;” “El,” that is, “the strong one,” for infinite power dwells in Jehovah. How readily may we ...

This is an excellent video explaining the prosperity gospel, and how it affects the hearer. Thanks again to Chrystal over at Slaughter of the Sheep for digging it out. Originally posted 2009-11-02 12:36:07. Republished by Blog Post PromoterShare/Save

Talking from personal experience, one of the largest contributing factors that have caused me to lose assurance of salvation, has been the ignorance of the way in which God saves sinners from start to finish, and without any aid from those being saved whatsoever. I had somehow mistakenly assumed ...

Q: Who should I trust to teach me about faith in Christ, and how to live in Him?Matthew 7:1515  “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.2 Peter 2:1-31  But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will...

I just wanted to share a wonderful message I heard at our church fellowship today, preached on the Gospel of John, chapter 13. The preacher is Simon Lawrenson, who is head pastor at Calvary Chapel, Southampton, and who’s sermons I find to be a breath of fresh air here in the U.K.. I will po...

For many years I have been largely ignorant of reformed theology due to a lack of doctrinally sound teaching throughout much of the charismatic church, which has been my background for most of my Christian life. Since the Lord woke me up to this fact however, I have been utterly fascinated and am...

I love Johnny Cash’s music without a doubt, but I really found this video a touching message. I find it really refreshing when someone is open and honest about the true state of themselves, rather than pretending to be someone they’re not. What comes across to me, especially from some...

Whether you like this type of music or not is neither here nor there, for this message is both hard hitting and true, and needs to be taken on board by all of us who dare profess to follow Christ. Share/Save

Galatians 3:21-26(21) Is the law then against the promises of God? Certainly not! For if there had been a law given which could have given life, truly righteousness would have been by the law.(22) But the Scripture has confined all under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be g...

Just had a fantastic time messing around on the guitars with my son, and realised just how much he’s progressed in such a small amount of time. Why do kids pick things up a gazillion times faster than us slightly well worn ones? Share/Save

A preacher of the old school was describing the events of Judgment Day and, of course, he used Biblical phraseology whenever he could. “Oh, my friends,” he intoned, “imagine the suffering of the sinners as they find themselves cast into the outer darkness, removed from the pres...

Joshua 3:8-178  You shall command the priests who bear the ark of the covenant, saying, ‘When you have come to the edge of the water of the Jordan, you shall stand in the Jordan.’ ”9  So Joshua said to the children of Israel, “Come here, and hear the words of the...

The following player has the excellent Chris Rosebrough of Pirate Christian Radio, playing two sermons side by side that have been preached on the same Bible account. The first is a sermon from emergent pastor, Adam Walker Cleaveland, who has the audacity to preach that Jesus was wrong when speak...

I make no apologies for posting this video here again, for every time I listen to it, and every time I sing it when leading worship, I simply want to fall to my knees in worship and thanksgiving! Share/Save

(Post sourced from the One and Only, Da’ Purple Soapbox)1. Don’t interpret the Bible literally in its historical and grammatical context, but rather through the “in-season” word that comes from in your spirit2. Forget learning about Church History since you are on the cutting edge of spirit...

Psalm 11  Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;Those in Christ are blessed with eternal life according to the promise of God’s Word, by faith in the completed work of Christ alone, and not of ...
