Lord's Day 45 1. God has eternal Affections for His Children 2. God Gives Good Gifts to His Children

A new MP3 sermon from Bible Believers Fellowship is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: 009 Vile Affections (Romans 1:26-28) Subtitle: Expository Study: Romans Speaker: Gregory A. Miller Broadcaster: Bible Believers Fellowship Event: Radio Broadcast Date: 7/27/2025 Bible: Romans 1:26-28; 2 Peter 3:17-18 Length: 40 min.

An episode from Liberty Behind Bars Ministry, a ministry serving the incarcerated across America located in Belfast, New York.The Scriptures : We believe that “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,” 2nd Timothy 3:16 by which we understand that the whole Bible “came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.” 2nd Peter 1:21.  The Scriptures, originally recorded by Spirit led men, have been faithfully translated and preserved in our English Language.  We believe the Authorized Version (A.V. 1611) is infallible and selfless: our final authority for all matters of faith and practice. Christ's Advent: We believe that the eternal Son of God came into this world that He might manifest God to men, fulfill prophecy, and become the Redeemer of a lost world. He was born of a virgin, conceived by the Holy Ghost, received a human body, and a sinless nature.Salvation: We believe that, owing to death through sin, no one can enter the Kingdom of God unless born again. This redemption has been accomplished solely by the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, who was made to be sin, dying in our stead, and that He was bodily and physically raised from the dead for our justification. We believe that the new birth of the believer is an act of the Holy Ghost and comes only through individual faith in Christ.The Church: We believe that God has ordained that through the local church the Gospel of Jesus Christ is to be spread and that it is the duty of everyone who is born again to seek out a local fellowship for the furtherance of the Gospel and his own edification. I spent half of my life in and out of jails, prisons, rehabs, and other facilities.  Unfortunately, the programs that were offered did not help me to become a productive member of society, it just made me a better inmate.  Whatchanged me, was a new life in Jesus Christ and reading/studying a King James Bible.Many prisons, jails, and other institutions have heard from many of their inmates that they are changed due to religion. However, most are seen back within the next year or two. As God gave Moses a burden for the Children of Israel, so God gave me a burden for those in jails and prisons. Churches send missionaries to foreign countries, in support, hopes and prayers, they can win the nationals to Jesus, train them and then send the nationals back to their own people. This is what Jesus has done for me. He saved me out of this life of crimes and addiction, and now sends me back to my people who are in jails/prisons, to win them to Christ and send them back to their own peopleThis is where Liberty Behind Bars Ministry steps in.  Not only do we minister to those behind the jail walls we help them transition into society; differently than they did in the past.  The goal is to break the cycle of recidicism and help people have a changed life in Jesus Christ.  I have my Doctorate in Christian Biblical Counseling and use this knowledge to not only help those within the jail/prison walls, but also to support their family members.  You may also write to us at:Liberty Behind Bars MinistryP.O.

A new MP3 sermon from The Narrated Puritan is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: The Renovation of Our Affections, Permanent or Temporary Subtitle: Spiritual Mindedness Speaker: John Owen Broadcaster: The Narrated Puritan Event: Audiobook Date: 7/16/2025 Length: 23 min.

The Grace and Duty of Being Spiritually Minded - 13 The work of the renovation of our affections — How differenced from any other impression on or change wrought in them, and how it is evidenced so to be — The first instance, in the universality accompanying of affections spiritually renewed — The order of the exercise of our affections with respect unto their objects.

There are sometimes sudden impressions made on spiritual affections, which are always of great advantage to the soul, renewing its engagements unto God and duty. So was it with Jacob, Genesis 28:16-20; so is it often with believers in hearing the word, and on other occasions. On all of them they renew their clearings unto God with love and delight. But the effect of these impressions on unrenewed affections are neither spiritual nor durable; yea, for the most part, they are but checks given in the providence of God unto the raging of their lusts, Psalm 9:20.

Quels sont les principaux conseils pour améliorer le transit intestinal ?

A new MP3 sermon from The Narrated Puritan is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: True Affections Beget The Lamb-Like Temper of Jesus Subtitle: The Religious Affections Speaker: Jonathan Edwards Broadcaster: The Narrated Puritan Event: Audiobook Date: 7/14/2025 Length: 44 min.

Every thing that appertains to holiness of heart, does indeed belong to the nature of true Christianity, and the character of Christians; but a spirit of holiness, as appearing in some particular graces, may more especially be called the christian spirit or temper. Some amiable qualities and virtues more especially agree with the nature of the gospel constitution, and christian profession; because there is a special agreeableness in them with those divine attributes which God has more remarkably manifested and glorified in the work of redemption by Jesus Christ, the grand subject of the christian revelation.

A new MP3 sermon from The Narrated Puritan is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: Ways God Uses To Draw Our Affections From This World Subtitle: Spiritual Mindedness Speaker: John Owen Broadcaster: The Narrated Puritan Event: Audiobook Date: 7/12/2025 Length: 46 min.

side, all the artifices of the world, all the paint it puts on its face, all the great promises it makes, and the false appearances and attires that it clothes itself with by the help of Satan, have no other end than to draw and keep the affections of men to itself. And if the world is preferred before God in this address which is made to us for our affections, we will justly perish with the world unto eternity, and be rejected by Him whom we have rejected.

A new MP3 sermon from The Narrated Puritan is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: True Affections Are Attended With A change of Nature - VII Subtitle: The Religious Affections Speaker: Jonathan Edwards Broadcaster: The Narrated Puritan Event: Audiobook Date: 7/8/2025 Length: 12 min.

Though grace, while imperfect, does not root out an evil natural temper, yet it is of great power and efficacy to correct it. The change wrought in conversion, is an universal change: grace changes a man with respect to whatever is sinful in him; the old man is put off, and the new man put on; he is sanctified throughout. He is become a new creature, old things are passed away, and all things are become new; all sin is mortified, constitutional sins, as well as others.

A new MP3 sermon from The Narrated Puritan is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: Gracious affections are attended with evangelical humiliation. Subtitle: The Religious Affections Speaker: Jonathan Edwards Broadcaster: The Narrated Puritan Event: Audiobook Date: 7/4/2025 Length: 68 min.

Real humiliation is what all the most glorious hypocrites, who make the most splendid show of mortification to the world, and high religious affection, grossly fail in. Were it not that this is so much insisted on in Scripture, as a most essential thing in true grace; one would be tempted to think that many of the heathen philosophers were truly gracious, in whom was so bright an appearance of many virtues, and also great illuminations, and inward fervours and elevations of mind, as though they were truly the subjects of divine illapses and heavenly communications.

A new MP3 sermon from The Narrated Puritan is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: True Spiritual Affections are Supernatural and Divine Subtitle: The Religious Affections Speaker: Jonathan Edwards Broadcaster: The Narrated Puritan Event: Audiobook Date: 6/26/2025 Length: 99 min.

It is a spiritual work in this high sense; and therefore above all other works is peculiar to the Spirit of God. There is no work so high and excellent; for there is no work wherein God doth so much communicate himself, and wherein the mere creature hath, in so high a sense, a participation of God; so that it is expressed in Scripture by the saints being made partakers of the divine, nature, 2 Pet. i. 4. and having God dwelling in them, and they in God.

A new MP3 sermon from The Narrated Puritan is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: True Affections When Raised High Long After More Attainment Subtitle: The Religious Affections Speaker: Jonathan Edwards Broadcaster: The Narrated Puritan Event: Audiobook Date: 6/24/2025 Length: 15 min.

the higher gracious affections are raised, the more is a spiritual appetite and longing of soul after spiritual attainments increased: on the contrary, false affections rest satisfied in themselves. The more a true saint loves God with a gracious love, the more he desires to love him, and the more uneasy is he at his want of love to him: the more he hates sin, the more he desires to hate it, and laments that he has so much remaining love to it.

In this episode, Dr. Eric Bryant interviews Dr. Nijay Gupta, a New Testament scholar, author, and professor at Northern Seminary. Nijay invites us to rediscover the wonder of the Bible and the radical nature of early Christianity. He explores how the early church's unity, generosity, and deep respect for human dignity can inspire modern Christians to live with greater intentionality, love, and purpose.Nijay is the author of the following books:The Affections of Christ Jesus: Love at the Heart of Paul's TheologyStrange Religion: How the First Christians Were Weird, Dangerous, and CompellingTell Her Story: How Women Led, Taught, and Ministered in the Early Church15 New Testament Words of Life: A New Testament Theology for Real LifePaul and the Language of Faith5 Key Takeaways:1. The Bible should be approached with wonder and imagination.2. Early Christians were radical in their faith and actions.3. Unity among Christians is lacking and needs to be addressed.4. The church must confront its failures and scandals honestly.5. Returning to the foundational teachings of Jesus is essential for renewal.

In a world that celebrates what God hates, how do Christians live a life that pleases God? Romans 12:9 gives a clear roadmap on how to answer this question: “Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good.” These three commands tell us is that love is not blind; biblical love hates evil—it clings like glue to what is good. So, are there things in your life that God hates: music, movies, and conversations with corrupt people? If there are, then throw them out and cling to the truth. Don’t just tweak your playlists—transform your affections that create your playlist. Don’t just filter your entertainment—but feed your soul. Glue your life to the word of God, the people of God, and the holiness of God. In this way you’ll learn what true love is. Sermon: https://churchandfamilylife.com/sermons/684678fb8bcefa77a87b9bd8

Scholars of the Apostle Paul have long debated the so-called center of Paul's theology, focusing on themes like justification by faith, reconciliation, union with Christ, and the apocalyptic triumph of God in Christ. But what if love really is the heart of the gospel that he preached?In this episode of the Attaching to God podcast, we welcome Nijay Gupta, the Julius R. Manti Professor of New Testament at Northern Seminary, to discuss his new book The Affections of Christ Jesus: Love at the Heart of Paul's Theology. Dr. Gupta elaborates on the crucial role of love in Paul's teachings and explores its connection to emotional theory and neuroscience.

A new MP3 sermon from The Narrated Puritan is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: True Conversion Consists Much in the Affections - Inferences Subtitle: The Religious Affections Speaker: Jonathan Edwards Broadcaster: The Narrated Puritan Event: Audiobook Date: 5/28/2025 Length: 14 min.

They who condemn high affections in others, are certainly not likely to have high affections themselves. And let it be considered, that they who have but little religious affection, have certainly but little religion. And they who condemn others for their religious affections, and have none themselves, have no religion.

A new MP3 sermon from The Narrated Puritan is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: What the Affections of the Mind Are Subtitle: The Religious Affections Speaker: Jonathan Edwards Broadcaster: The Narrated Puritan Event: Audiobook Date: 5/27/2025 Length: 8 min.

The affections and passions are frequently spoken of as the same; and yet, in the more common use of speech, there is in some respect a difference. Affection is a word, that, in its ordinary signification, seems to be something more extensive than passion, being used for all vigorous lively actings of the will or inclination; but passion is used for those that are more sudden, and whose effects on the animal spirits are more violent, the mind being more overpowered, and less in its own command.

If we be not in good earnest in religion, and our wills and inclinations be not strongly exercised, we are nothing. The things of religion are so great, that there can be no suitableness in the exercises of our hearts, to their nature and importance, unless they be lively and powerful. In nothing is vigour in the actings of our inclinations so requisite, as in religion; and in nothing is lukewarmness so odious.

A new MP3 sermon from The Narrated Puritan is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: Concerning the Nature of the Affections and Their Importance Subtitle: The Religious Affections Speaker: Jonathan Edwards Broadcaster: The Narrated Puritan Event: Audiobook Date: 5/23/2025 Bible: 1 Peter 1:8 Length: 7 min.

In the text, the apostle observes how true religion operated in these Christians under their persecutions, whereby these benefits appeared in them; or what manner of operation it was, whereby their religion, under persecution, was manifested to be true religion in its genuine beauty and amiableness, and also appeared to be increased and purified, and so was like to be found unto praise, and honour, and glory, at the appearing of Jesus Christ.

This week I was joined by New Testament Scholar Dr. Nijay Gupta to talk about his latest book, "The Affections of Christ: Love at the Heart of Paul's Theology". Paul has been written off by many of us in the more progressive Christian spaces and for some good reasons. Dr. Gupta's book convinced me to give Paul another chance though... could it be true that love is at the heart of Paul's theology? Can we give Paul another chance? Enjoy!

The Affections of Christ Jesus. In this episode of the Voxology podcast, Mike Erre, Tim Stafford, and guest Nijay Gupta delve into the complexities of love as presented in theology, particularly in the context of the Old and New Testaments. They explore the differences between Hebrew and American conceptions of love, the role of emotions, and the importance of empathy in relationships. The conversation also touches on the challenges of loving others, including enemies, and the necessity of cultivating genuine compassion. Throughout the discussion, the hosts emphasize that love is not merely an action or feeling but a multifaceted experience that encompasses attachment, devotion, and relational dynamics. Further, Nijay , Mike and Tim discuss the complexities of love, empathy, and relationships in the context of faith and social media. They explore the power of prayer, the impact of celebrity culture on genuine relationships, and the nature of God's love and jealousy. The discussion also delves into the concept of fear in relation to God and the importance of empathy as a tool for connection and understanding, emphasizing that empathy is essential for humanity and requires proximity to be effective.  Nijay's book can be found HERE Chapters 00:00 - Introduction to the Podcast and Guests 03:00 - Exploring the Concept of Love in Theology 06:04 - Hebrew vs. American Conceptions of Love 09:02 - The Role of Emotions in Love 12:00 - Love as a Verb: Actions vs. Feelings 14:57 - The Complexity of Loving Others 17:59 - Love for Enemies and Compassion 20:58 - Navigating Difficult Relationships 24:03 - Truth and Love in Relationships 29:39 - The Power of Prayer and Social Media 31:48 - Celebrity Culture and Relationships 33:09 - Understanding God's Love and Jealousy 37:17 - The Nature of Fear in Relation to God 44:10 - Empathy: A Double-Edged Sword 51:54 - The Importance of Proximity in Empathy As always, we encourage and would love discussion as we pursue.
