When it's boiled down, Most counseling and therapy sessions focus on peace, joy, and self-control. Ultimately, those "goals" are produced by the Holy Spirit. Modern Secular Therapy seeks to provide a "godless" solution, a Christ-less experience, a process that doesn't acknowledge nor rely on the Holy Spirit. The Christian is a spiritual person; meditation and treatment are at times the solution fo...

In Chapter 17 of The Grace and Duty of Being Spiritually Minded, John Owen addresses the severe danger of spiritual decay—a spiritual condition worse than mere slow growth, where a believer's initial love, vigor, and affection for heavenly things gradually wane over time. Owen carefully distinguishes between perceived decays (caused by temporary seasons of severe temptation or natural changes in e...

This sermon presents a Calvinistic exposition of Ephesians 1:1-5, emphasizing that salvation is the result of God's sovereign decree rather than human merit. The speaker argues that believers were chosen by God before the foundation of the world, establishing that election is an act of divine grace that precedes any human action or response. The text highlights the theological distinction between...

What are the two types of people in this world? Listen to hear the only distinction that truly includes all people in one of two cate...

The speaker explains that God is spirit, meaning He is immaterial, invisible, and without a physical body, which necessitates worship in spirit and truth rather than through physical images or idols.
