The sermon examines the instruction in 1 Timothy 5 to avoid hasty ordination, emphasizing that time is the ultimate revealer of a person's true character and integrity. It argues that churches must prioritize godly character over natural ability when selecting elders to maintain the purity of the ministry and avoid sharing in the sins of unqualified leaders. The message further explores the biblical perspective on alcohol, distinguishing between its medicinal and social uses and the clear prohibition against drunkenness. While acknowledging the freedom of Christians to make personal choices regarding social drinking, the speaker offers a pastoral recommendation for abstinence based on the practical wisdom of avoiding an expensive, addictive neurotoxin. The central call is for believers to walk with a clear conscience, relying on the Holy Spirit rather than substances for peace and joy.

People search all over for things that will fulfill them. If I can just get this job, that promotion, this degree, that item, this house, that boy, that girl, or this amount in the bank account, then I'll be fulfilled. Some turn to drugs and alcohol, others turn to culture, others to religion, and some to other things all while seeking purpose and fulfillment. The reality of it is, nothing has ever brought fulfillment. No matter what you are doing to try and fill that void in your life or reach a place of satisfaction, the truth is, you'll never reach it. The world is searching for the answer to life, the answer to fulfillment, and the answer to happiness. They have tried it all. Without success. My question is this. Why not Jesus. If you have tried it all and it all failed, what do you have to lose? Why not try the one who can actually bring you to a place of satisfaction? A place of fulfillment? And a place of purpose? If everything you have done has not worked, why not Jesus?

The sermon explores the account of Jesus casting out a legion of demons from a man in the region of the Gadarenes, emphasizing the reality and severity of spiritual warfare. It contrasts the power of Christ over evil spirits with the pervasive influence of demonic forces in modern culture, specifically addressing issues such as abortion, drug addiction, and societal moral decay. The message highlights that Jesus actively seeks out those who are bound by darkness, offering liberation and restoration that leaves individuals permanently changed. It concludes with a call to remain steadfast in faith and prayer to prevent the return of evil influences, asserting that salvation is found only in Jesus Christ.

Victory is the Bible way not the psychology way. The pornography issue is a sin issue that can be dealt with effectively through Christ, the gospel, and biblical truth without psychological counseling; Dealing with a pornographic addiction is like dealing with an alcohol or drug addiction. You must be desperate; This battle is only going to get more intense; Proverbs has many sharp warnings of the consequences of sexual impurity which are described as association with "the strange woman"

This sermon examines the biblical warnings against alcohol and substance abuse, arguing that modern Christian culture often normalizes social drinking despite clear scriptural prohibitions. Drawing primarily from Proverbs 23, the message outlines the emotional agony, social degradation, physical harm, and moral perversity caused by impaired judgment. The speaker emphasizes the addictive nature of substances, comparing them to a serpent that bites and an adder that stings, while citing Isaiah 28 to show that even religious leaders have historically erred through intoxication. The tone is convicting and urgent, urging believers to reject the 'liberty' of sin and instead pursue sobriety and spiritual vigilance. The sermon concludes with a call to avoid the initial temptation entirely, relying on the Holy Spirit rather than worldly pleasures to maintain clear-mindedness and moral integrity.

EPA: Chemical abortion drugs in tap water; U.S. military announced space weapons; Man who won U.S. Open didn't realize he won at first

The western church in general has swallowed and acted upon a view of mankind that far more closely aligns with its atheistic surrounding culture than it does the Bible, the view that mankind is little more than the result of the chemical reactions that occur in the brain and body. Scripture flatly contradicts this view of mankind. And because of this, what our culture (and much of the visible church) calls "an unprecedented mental health crisis" almost entirely boils down to the unmitigated practice of submitting ourselves as slaves to sin, and especially the sin of covetousness, rather than as slaves to Christ. People know that mere platitudes are not the solution, but ignoring what we learn about ourselves through God's revealed Word will destine us to a continually worsening crisis. This crisis will never be solved at a purely chemical level, because the ultimate problem is not chemical--it's spiritual.

Michael Knox shares his dramatic journey from a life of drug addiction, gang involvement, and incarceration to finding redemption through Jesus Christ. He details how a near-death shooting experience and years in prison failed to change him until a divine encounter with kindness led to his conversion in 2012. Despite early struggles and backsliding, Knox emphasizes that God's mercy sustained him, leading to his ministry work and marriage. He argues against the idea that anyone is too far gone for God's grace, citing biblical figures like Moses and David as examples of restoration. The narrative underscores the transformative power of the gospel and the importance of discipleship in overcoming deep-seated brokenness.

Started off looking at developments on the Dinesh D'Souza front, looking at his citation of Jeremiah 19:5. Looked at the posting of a clip from Alex Jones in which I honestly stated that it seemed to me he was on drugs, his language and vile speech shocking even those on the program with him. And this is the lead speaker at the Christ is King conference in November. Then we moved back to Eastern Orthodoxy and looked at Empress Irene and her foundational role in calling, running, and determining the outcome of, the Second Nicene Council in 787.

This sermon examines the biblical reasons behind alcohol and drug abuse, arguing that secular views of addiction as an incurable disease are unbiblical. The speaker identifies five primary causes for substance use: the pursuit of temporary pleasure, a lack of inner joy and peace, faulty coping mechanisms for adversity, masking trauma and pain, and living outside God's will without true salvation. Drawing from Proverbs 23 and Hebrews 11, the message warns that intoxication leads to woe, sorrow, and spiritual bondage rather than fulfillment. The preacher emphasizes that lasting freedom is found only through repentance, self-reflection, and a genuine relationship with Jesus Christ. Ultimately, the sermon calls listeners to reject the deception of drugs and alcohol in favor of the true joy and peace found in God.

Not much worse for a man than to have to live with a brawling woman! But we must use discernment and in some cases have compassion, while calling all others to repentance! Also Reference: Acts 26:20 https://bbfohio.com
