Thank you Albert Mohler, from South Africa🧡
3:44... 'God's God!' means that God is sovereign, and as such is sovereign over every thing including His free gift of salvation (Ps.149:4)... Amen! Bro. Mohler...preach it!
Dr.Mohler ,as a follower of christ Jesus please tell me when it comes down to the main points of personal forgiveness and repentance through the personal relationship and the process of sanctification by our Holy Teacher. Amen Proverb 3:3-6 🙏 I'm always praying for you please continue to stay humble 🙏 please continue to share your personal relationship you have with us all I've always thought denomination is a diversity that divinely separates is this right or wrong Matthew 6:21 .Amen Thank you for your faithfulness
Great question and response at 26:44-28:55 regarding complementarian theology and seminary professors!!
I stood in that "booth" last week 😁💪❤ I can't lie I wanted to filp the switch and bust out a Christian rap 😁👈(a rightly divided one of course for Gods glory)😂😂😂💯🙏
Love the gray hair!
"Mr. Mohler, would you please drop a freestyle please?" (Mohler lights it up with some theological bombs) But seriously, I appreciate this brother and how thoughtful he is both in the Word and applying it to life.
Regarding the dreams of Muslims, let me reinforce Dr. Mohler on this. Without going into detail, there is a group of workers who gather to discuss their ministry to Muslims in the areas where they work. Some field research was done in preparation for this meeting to investigate factors by way of testimony that contribute to successful evangelism. The workers largely marveled at the dreams and visions and claim that those are the biggest factors. The MBBs who actually had the dreams and visions testify that it was the Word of God rather than the dreams and visions. Those phenomenal experiences may be factors, but they are not key factors to the ones experiencing them.
To be sure, reading the Scriptures and hearing preaching are two different things, but they are inextricably related. While one may come to faith having heard no other sermon but what is recorded in Scripture, at least those sermons are written there. Many, however, may at least hear a one-on-one sermon from the person who gave them the Scriptures, or generally find sermons online or in person such as they are able. Indeed, no good sermon is preached without the Scriptures as the foundation for its content. We marvel at extraordinary accounts of dreams and visions and often miss the most extraordinary miracle in the salvation of a soul through the foolishness of preaching the Word of God.
does anyone know how to ask in this program?
Am I misunderstanding him saying “to be tempted is to sin?” (In response to that last question) If that’s truly what he’s saying, how would he reconcile that with Jesus being tempted? I have to think I’m just misunderstanding what he’s saying, but I’ve re-listened to it a couple of times and it really does sound like that’s what he’s saying?
I think this question lands in that friction we so commonly encounter of our sinful/finite human minds attempting to comprehend an infinite/holy God. We accept that Jesus was both fully man and fully God, even though our finite minds cannot truly comprehend this. The same is seen in the predestination vs. free will discussion (and many others). Scripture seems to suggest that believers are fully predestined by God, yet also that God gave us the free will to choose Him as well. This defies natural human logic as the two seem contradictory, but this reality was established by an omniscient God who is not bound by our human logic or understanding.
So in being tempted in the desert Christ experienced the full temptation of Satan that all mankind experiences to an extent, yet being fully God he could not sin as it would deny his nature. That set of rules does not apply to the rest of us fallen sinners. Christ could not sin, left to our own devices we can not help but sin.
Stephen Bunting ok, I get that. Knowing we won’t be able to understand fully that tension between the deity and humanity of Christ. While He couldn’t sin as God, at the same time, the temptations were very real temptations. So to say “to be tempted is to sin” still leaves a big question mark for me. Can’t think of any Scripture that would support that, though I admit I could be wrong. I could agree with the idea that to entertain the temptations at all would be sin. And as fallen man, we are prone to choose sin apart from the Spirit’s influence in us. But to say that a person (let’s say a Christian who now has the ability to say no to sin after regeneration) is in sin because he’s being tempted, before he even has a chance to decide what he’s going to do about the temptation seems to go a bit far.
@@alex.m.b. I get that. I agree it's more nuanced than just "to be tempted is to sin", so perhaps that could have been worded better or more thoroughly explained by Dr. Mohler. We as he humans were born into sin and it is our very nature, Chirst was not and sin is contrary to his nature. There's some further discussion at this link about what the purpose of Christ's temptation was, but I think it's very natural to wonder why he had to be tempted if he couldn't possibly give into it: www.blueletterbible.org/faq/don_stewart/don_stewart_1326.cfm
From a human/fallen perspective I look at it as temptation reveals and confirms that I am already a sinner in need of repentance, whether I give into the temptation or not. In the eyes of God I'm no more of a sinner if I give in, and no less if I abstain. This is important to grasp, as it is very natural to feel proud when we resist temptation and somehow think better of ourselves because we didn't sin in that instance. However in doing that we are in danger of diminishing our own sinfulness and relying more on our own "righteousness", while scripture tells us that no one is righteous, not even one. Sorry for the ramble, but been pondering this topic a lot myself lately.
Stephen Bunting don’t worry about the ramble, that last paragraph was really good. Easy to fall into the trap of thinking that after we make a certain amount of progress, we no longer need the cross. Though I don’t know of any Christians who would actually say that, sometimes we can fall into living as though that’s what we think, thinking too highly of ourselves. Will definitely check into that link because it has definitely got me thinking about it, too.
As far as how it was worded, I was just thinking for bothers or sisters who do struggle with this, or any sin for that matter, it might be discouraging to hear that to even be tempted by it, they are already in sin. For the Christians who are fighting it as they rely on the Holy Spirit, and are slowly but surely making progress, but still struggle with the temptation from time to time, it might dishearten them to hear that maybe they aren’t making any progress at all.
Thanks for the conversation, btw! Has been thought provoking and encouraging and challenging for me all at the same time. Haha
What... your hair. Congratulations, Al!
I have a question. My girlfriend has had very bad scoliosis for years now and as a result she has been struggling with constant pain. Earlier this week, she had her upper back flare up and now she is in even worse pain than before. So much so that she went to the emergency room yesterday. She has been to many doctors over the years and no one seems to know what to do or to know of any possible solution for her. What should she do?
🙏🙏🙏🙏
As one who is suffering similarly, I share with you what's been most-helpful to me:

So then, those who suffer according to God’s will should commit themselves to their faithful Creator and continue to do good. (1 Peter 4:19)
With much love and compassion,

So what about this Beth Moore I'm hearing about?
All you have to do is hit search on TH-cam, you input in Beth Moore and you learned all about her no problemo. But don't listen too long because she's going to feed you stuff that it's not in the Bible.

Around the 1:00:00 we Christians are the new edge lords!
Re: speed limit - It depends on the state. In many states, going over the speed limit is prima facie evidence that the driver is driving recklessly, which is illegal, but that evidence alone is not dispositive. Other factors can be considered, like weather, speed of traffic, etc. In other states like Louisiana, which follows the Napoleonic Code, it is much more black and white.
Disclaimer: This is not legal advice, just an encouragement to look into it further. One can Google the actual text of the state law, for instance.
I feel lied too about tithes.
Money is needed to buy and sell
Like the market.
Money or minted money by the Roman god and she was the god of the mint or money
How can one hear gospel without a preacher? Outside church I am not going to prohibit a Christian woman preaching to the lost. Context. I think women should be trained to do work of a pulpit pastor if no man pastor is available. Example: Elizabeth Elliott. But once a male pastor is found, like Elizabeth Elliott did from pulpit preaching, Christian women should recuse themselves. I am not a SBC.
An angel broke Peter out of jail.
Paul was lowered down the wall by the others.
You can find many many places in the scriptures where "God" allowed "Christians" to "break the law".
Do not deny the power of God, as was foretold would be rampant in this generation.. the Holy Spirit exist for us in times where we might question such things. We are children of the Kingdom of God first, and of our towns, nations, etc... second.
Have you been following the #WakeupOlive story at Bethel in Redding? International prayers and declarations to raise her to life. The little girl died on Saturday and they won't accept it. Why don't church leaders, true men of God say, enough! This isn't Biblical? Time to comfort the grieving parents not feed them false hope. Total denial of reality and doing it in the name of God, bringing disgrace upon the Gospel of Christ.
