Highly recommend from RC Sproul. His entire ministry site is fantastic. You will be richly fed and blessed., YEs indeed. There are many wolves, but few who feed the sheep sound doctrine these days.

God bless you sister, He knows your struggle…I have that ‘ideal’ family structure wife and 2 kids, but I didn’t step up to the plate in my role as a Godly man until my children were fully grown, so am also reaping what I sowed. We can’t go back but we can go forward, and I thank God for what He is now doing in me and my families life, I am being able to witness to my children now and share the gospel with them (which is sometimes hard and not well received) and tell them I love them, His loving mercies endure forever and with Him is forgiveness, this is what is on my heart and these are some of what I’m trying with my daughters, pray for them daily, have daily devotions with the Bible together (if he is open to it), if not as you are reading yours ask him what he thinks about certain verses, if not pray for that opportunity, tell him you love him, be the best Godly witness to him that you can, find a good biblical church and see if there are older guys who would help walk with him/ disciple him, find other Godly mums in similar situations, or families that you walk with and mirror what it means to be a Christian, encourage him to read books with godly content, pour your heart out to Him and keep praying. Praying for you and your son. I clearly don’t know your personal situation so please forgive if you think I overstep the mark on anything I say, but have many sympathies with you from my own walk, we are purchased with a great price and single families, broken families and everything in between can find peace with Him he is merciful, there are no perfect people or families but blessed are the meek, poor in spirit, those who mourn. Blessings

Praying for you!

This also describes my husband. Such a good man in so many ways, but seems to harden his heart against the truth as it is in Jesus.

@@gailkelley2259 I’m sorry to hear this. Keep praying. We had a man we know. Probably 20 years of prayer I’d say. Then a wonderful work began. We are still amazed. Keep in prayer is all we can do

How?

Very sorry. But the audio was not recorded for the audience. I wish it was so others could hear too

LEAD BY EXAMPLE. and NEVWR STOP PRAYING. GOD BLESS YOU BROTHER. THE MORE YOU READ THE BIBLE THE MORE EXAMPLES YOU'LL HAVE AND YOU'LL BE ABLE TO SEE HOW BEST TO LEAD . .... LORD HELP UA TO BECOME THE MEN YOU MADE US TO BE .

Amen

This is by far the most comprehensive, straight forward and simply laser focused talk I've ever heard by a speaker. Praise God for this instruction and the conduit by which He worked.

Just the mere fact that you want to be a leader and desire to be better for your family is light years ahead of what most families have. Give yourself grace and keep gaining ground inch by inch through the might of our Lord.

My first priority is to know God in his word and know God in prayer

A great many godly men have believed and taught what is sometimes called 'Calvinism', and their lives show fully they were both blessed and holy men, far more than you and I will ever be. This does give pause for thought! Then add to this, the long history of the church, until comparitively recently, did indeed hold to these truths/doctrines. It is simply a biblical view of soteriology, or salvation. One has to grapple with this subject, as how a person is 'saved' and what 'saved' actually means, is so very central to the core truths of Christ and the gospel. Ask yourself: if you salvation depended on you, your intellect, your matruity of thought, would you be saved? What about others not as 'gifted' intellectully as you? An unborn child? Etc etc. If I find time, I could point you to many resoruces on this, but I suggest searching the scriptures on the subject, and ask God to enlighten you in sincerity. If I get time, I'll post more

@@heartsoul4386 thank you for your reply. I'm honestly pretty ignorant to Calvinism other than what other believers have warned me about. But at this point, I do NOT feel the holy spirit guiding me away from Brother Paul Washer. Everytime I hear him, he preaches the true word of God. And I've never raised an eyebrow at him. I think he is truly a servant of our Lord Christ Jesus. But then again, I've only been a born again believer for less than a year, so what do I know? 🤷‍♂️

@@sasquatchlife8836 praise God for your conversion!!! Paul Washer will benefit you greatly. I encourage you to continue with him. He is a faithful man of God and has been tested in the fire for sure. You will grow and learn many things. Just keep faithful and pure. So much corruption out there. Don’t get sidetracked or deluded either false teaching or controversy. Stay true and keep your first love. Stay in the scriptures and find good churches. I can HIGHLY recommend anything on Ligonier website and videos. Particularly RC Sproul. You will grow quickly under that ministry.

@@heartsoul4386 thanks for the information. I really appreciate it.

Ephesians 1:11 In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will,

I do want to be like Jesus. But I don't believe that I'm ready to go out and give his word .

hi there. Out of interest, what is your reason for closer examination of those terms? It might help others answer your question

@@heartsoul4386 Hi. So in my understanding after listening Paul Washer, man doesn't really have "free will" because man nature seeks only evilness. And impossible to find and come to know God unless He calls. Then, Gen 3:22. "good" what kind of "good" taking about here? Does a man know good? Can a man able to know and choose what is good? Then, "the man" means regenerated man? Able to distinguish righteous and evil? OR the word "know" in Gen 3:22 is like James 2:19? Knowing and believing OT, but they can never come to really "know" (spiritual relationship) God? So "good" in Gen 3:22 is just Knowing the facts? And Roman 2:15. God wrote His law in our hearts that we "know" what's good in our consciousness?

@@hellochocokeiko2012 "So in my understanding after listening Paul Washer, man doesn't really have "free will" because man nature seeks only evilness. And impossible to find and come to know God unless He calls." - yes none are righteous, all are 'dead in sin' and need to be made 'alive to Christ".- so think it over. Does salvation rely on our intellect alone? What about the mentally handicapped, or those unborn? Intellect itself cannot be a safe nor biblical condition of salvation. Faith also is 'the gift of God, that none can boast" - therefore, being dead, God must regnerate, make alive, and give the gift. Do we know why/how? Of course not, but the bible does say a lot about the new birth, and the holy spirit who births this in us as 'the wind blows where IT/HE wishes' Then, Gen 3:22. "good" what kind of "good" taking about here? Does a man know good? Can a man able to know and choose what is good? - I will look into this for my sake also. Then, "the man" means regenerated man? Able to distinguish righteous and evil? Sorry - which verse are your referencing here? OR the word "know" in Gen 3:22 is like James 2:19? Knowing and believing OT, but they can never come to really "know" (spiritual relationship) God? So "good" in Gen 3:22 is just Knowing the facts? And Roman 2:15. God wrote His law in our hearts that we "know" what's good in our consciousness? - we certainly have the inner witness of wrong and the commandments, however, we are blinded and by nature children of wrath, and living in darkness. Only the new birth brings about the input of light and life. Nothing but regeneration can do this. If Christ paid for the sins of all, then he was punished for no reason and also, it would make his payment and death for those who 'reject him' as ineffective - in other words, he owuld have suffered in vain. Something that's impossible to even begin to imagine. He said it was complete. Not open to chance and hope based on someones free will or intellectual grasping, or worse, on the 'skill' of the gifted evangelist to magically 'explain' the gospel so well, they believe. so, we we have free will indeed, but only according to our nature. Our nature is sinful (by birth) and unable to choose faith/god/life etc etc. God bursts through this is in mercy/ We have no part, other than to accept his gift. Regeneration preceeds faith. Important to know --they were filled with the Spirit in the OT, and obviously thus knew God. But we now have a greater revelation, the witness of the NT and the Spirit's outpouring in a new way, to build the church of God and spread the message world wide. Reply

@@heartsoul4386 Thank you so much for replaying me with lots of details! I'm appreciated. God bless you.

@@hellochocokeiko2012 glad it was useful. I didn't answer all your questions. Sorry about that

I agree. He has much light, but God still has to enlighten him more. Just like me. It also bothers me that he preaches hellfire with an eternal burning hell. That my friend is not biblical.

Eternal hell is biblical, Paul is just preaching the truth

I wish I could help you. It was recorded only as a live stream, and no good audio of the questions. I agree- would've been great!
