Brother, I don’t know if you read comments, but I just wanted to thank you for being faithful to our Lord, and to His word. I’m a truck driver who listens as I drive, and on many occasions I’ve been so moved by your teaching that I feel led to pray for you, and thank the Lord for the truth you preach. I know that truth is changing me, and I have to praise our Lord for it. Please know you are appreciated and loved, and keep running the race. God is using you..
Our church is having Saturday street evangelistic outreach so this is so helpful to clear my mind up and get my theology right before sharing the wonderful news. Will bookmark this and listen often before going out into the world on this duty for God. Wonderful! Safe travels and like I said before I would love to see those new attributes sermons you'll be doing overseas. Please put them up on the internet! Love you, brothers.
If your prayer is truly, Father in Heaven, hallowed be Thy Name, not mine. Thy Kindom come, not mine. Thy will be done, not mine, this is a good sign that you are converted. The natural man wants his name to be exalted, he wants to be king of his life and he wants what he wants. You be the car, and the Lord be the driver. You be willing to go wherever He, the Lord wills no matter what, yes even if it hurts.
Being born again is a process that takes your whole life, at the least. It's the process that Jesus was addressing when he said, " I work and my father works." And we are to follow his Way. There may be an initial connection and dedication to God's will, ,but that is just a beginning. It is a process of giving up the identity of a body and remembering we are spirit. "That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit"
Can someone tell me what specific bible Kent, as well as Dr. Lawson uses in these Bible Studies. I know Dr. Lawson uses the NASB, but what specific bible does he use?
Hello Tim, Dr. Lawson mentioned Ezekiel 37: 1-14 in which GOD tells Ezekiel to prophecy to the spiritual dead nation of Israel, which GOD will resurrect one day completely! What an awesome event this will be!! Dr. Lawson mentioned also, that he and all those pastors who preach the Word of GOD in Spirit and in Truth are "prophecying " each Sunday to the those souls who are still spiritually dead, sothat they can be "raised from the dead" by the Power of the Holy Spirit, when listening to the WORD OF GOD preached by the pastor and hearing the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. And Dr. Lawson mentioned Ezekiel 36:25-27. in which it is described how GOD performs the heart transplant surgery on the man/woman who will become a believer. HE takes out the heart of stone and implants a new heart of flesh in the person sothat the man/woman becomes a new creation in Christ.
I still find it difficult to understand the right balance between assurance and warning. The bible seems to assure then warn those who should not be assured.? We are told to make a decision to follow Christ "narrow path" , but then told God has in his sovereignity has only chosen certain people to be saved. I was at a church discussing the gospel with the youth. The pastor said that to be a Christian, was just to believe. I said there also had to be continued repentance. I was told that we should rather just say follow Jesus. I was later asked to leave the church because they said I was too intense i should accept the reason as a "mystery" . In the context of ETERNAL PUNISHMENT IN HELL, it seems a grose understatement to just say "follow". When I ask local pastors , I get a blank stare. Maybe I am just thick or biblically blind. I do understand that we are not saved by good works, but our fruit is a sign of our position in Christ. I listen to at least 1 expository sermon a day. Just to put this in context. I listen mostly to Dr Lawson , Alistair begg and. St Helens Bishopsgate London. I have shared and watched /enjoyed all the American gospel movies.
We must consider and ask ourselves, is there fruit that demonstrates my belief is actually true faith, or is it merely mental assent? I'm sure you've read, "You believe that God is one. You do well; the demons also believe, and shudder." Context: James 2:18-20 - But someone may well say, “You have faith and I have works; show me your faith without the works, and I will show you my faith by my works.” You believe that God is one. You do well; the demons also believe, and shudder. But are you willing to recognize, you foolish fellow, that faith without works is useless?

Amen, praise God for my conversation and regeneration. I gave nothing to it but God the Lord Jesus Christ 🙏
That clarification about regeneration and conversion helped my understanding greatly.

Thank you Dr. SJL!
Such reality in my life. Praise God.

This is the Lord God's leading.... The timing of the Lord God is perfect... Never too early or too late.. Providentially 100% timely
I think if I had been there at a great Bible study, the last thing I'd be doing is being on my phone 34:09~39:10. You always make time later for that.
Amen. Matthew 6:33
The word conversion is a word I can’t use on my Jewish family. It doesn’t bother me for myself. Thanks
He is teaching is wonderful but all the distractions is awful that's the thirstiest bunch of people I ever seen in my life

All you have to do to be born again is believe
