Must Watch: The Power of Persecuted Church – A Full Documentary

Today, I am pondering and thinking about the lives of persecuted Christians around the world. I live in Australia and here, we are free to worship and even go out of the streets to openly preach and speak the name of Jesus Christ. In the Western countries, we are so countable yet there so much lukewarmness towards the Gospel. Professing Christians are so entangled with worldly pursuits and materialism that many are not really thinking about their persecuted brothers and sisters.

Browsing on the news, I read that in Pakistan, “religious NGOs and Muslim leaders in Pakistan stand accused of refusing aid to Christians and other religious minorities amid the COVID-19 pandemic. This is in spite of the fact that religious minority communities are among the worst hit by the pandemic and its economic effect. (full story here)” In India, COVID-19 Pandemic being used as smokescreen for attacks on Christians. Open Doors reported that in just the last year, there have been:

  • Over 260 million Christians living in places where they experience high levels of persecution
  • 2,983 Christians killed for their faith
  • 9,488 churches and other Christian buildings attacked.
  • 3,711 believers detained without trial, arrested, sentenced or imprisoned

Let us continue to pray for our persecuted Brothers and Sisters around the world.

Are We Longing for Repentance? – Leonard Ravenhill Preaching

By

On July 4, 2022

In Headline, Preaching/Sermons

What is repentance? Why is it very important for a follower of Jesus? This video preaching by a well-know revivalist Leonard Ravenhill will expound this Biblical concept of repentance.

Repentance is a change of heart and change of direction of our lives. It involves a very strong commitment and resolve to hate our sin and stop sinning. Repentance is a complete shift of attitude toward God and our sins. The Bible commands people to repent. “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” (Acts 2:38).

Watch Video: Are We Longing for Repentance? – Leonard Ravenhill

Leonard Ravenhill (June 18, 1907 – November 27, 1994) was an English Christian evangelist and author who focused on the subjects of prayer and revival. He is best known for challenging western evangelicalism (through his books and sermons) to compare itself to the early Christian Church as chronicled in the Book of Acts. He was a proponent of the moral government or Governmental theory of atonement. His most notable book is Why Revival Tarries which has sold over a million copies worldwide. (Wikipedia)

“No man is greater than his prayer life. The pastor who is not praying is playing; the people who are not praying are straying. We have many organizers, but few agonizers; many players and payers, few pray-ers; many singers, few clingers; lots of pastors, few wrestlers; many fears, few tears; much fashion, little passion; many interferers, few intercessors; many writers, but few fighters. Failing here, we fail everywhere.”? Leonard Ravenhill Quote

To the Preacher: The Idolatry of Intelligence by Leonard Ravenhill

“One of these days some simple soul will pick up the Book of God, read it, and believe it. Then the rest of us will be embarrassed. We have adopted the convenient theory that the Bible is a Book to be explained, whereas first and foremost it is a Book to be believed (and after that to be obeyed).” ?

Billy Graham – “How to Live the Christian Life” at Madison Square Garden 1957

By

In Featured, Headline, Preaching/Sermons

Be blessed by this classic sermon of Rev Billy Graham at the Madison Square Graden in 1957. Awesome preaching and is very relevant in today’s age.

Billy Graham – How to Live the Christian Life (1957)


For one to grow properly certain rules must be observed for good spiritual health. Here are 10 Guidelines for Christian Living by Billy Graham:

1. Read your Bible daily. Do not be content to skim through a chapter merely to satisfy your conscience. Hide the Word of God in your heart. It comforts, guides, corrects, encourages – all we need is there.

2. Learn the secret of prayer. Prayer is communicating. Every prayer that you pray will be answered. Sometimes that answer may be “Yes” and sometimes “No,” and sometimes it is “Wait,” but nevertheless it will be answered.

3. Rely constantly on the Holy Spirit. We know that the Holy Spirit prays for us (Romans 8), and what a comfort that should be to the weakest of us. Stand aside and let Him take over all the choices and decisions of your life.

4. Attend church regularly. The visible church is Christ’s organization upon earth. Christians need one another, we need to gather together to worship God and nothing can take the place of church attendance.

5. Be a witnessing Christian. We witness in two ways: by life and by word – and the two, where possible, should go hand in hand.

6. Let love be the ruling principle of your life. Jesus said to those who followed Him, “By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another” (John 13:35). The greatest demonstration of the fact that we are Christians is that we love one another.

7. Be an obedient Christian. Let Christ have first place in all the choices of your life.

8. Learn how to meet temptation. Temptation is not sin. It is yielding that is sin. Let Christ through the Holy Spirit do the fighting for you.

9. Be a wholesome Christian. Our lives and appearance should commend the Gospel and make it attractive to others.

10. Live above your circumstances. Don’t let your circumstances get you down. Learn to live graciously within them, realizing the Lord Himself is with you.

“Nothing But The Blood” Live At Billy Graham Training Center, Gaither Homecoming

By

On June 29, 2022

In Gospel Music, Headline

Powerful rendition of this classic hymn “Nothing But the Blood of Jesus” by the Gaither Homecoming group concert! Nothing But The Blood of Jesus is a traditional American hymn about the blood atonement and propitiation for sin by the death of Jesus as explained in Hebrews 9. The song was composed by Robert Lowry, a hymn writer who was a Baptist minister and professor at Bucknell University.

“The Gaither Vocal Band is an American southern gospel vocal group, named after its founder and leader Bill Gaither. Founded in the early ’80s, Gaither Vocal Band is one of America’s leading faith-based vocal groups. While Gaither remained the only original member of the ensemble, many well-regarded CCM/gospel singers have passed through the band’s ranks, including Russ Taff, Guy Penrod, Wes Hampton, Michael English, Mark Lowry, and David Phelps. On March 1, 2017, it was announced that the Gaither Vocal Band lineup consisted of Reggie Smith, Wes Hampton, Adam Crabb, Todd Suttles, and Bill Gaither. Although the group started out recording contemporary Christian music in the 1980s, it became known for southern gospel after the popularity of the Gaither Homecoming videos.” (Source: Wikipedia)

Nothing But The Blood Live At Billy Graham Training Center

Nothing But the Blood

by Bill & Gloria Gaither

What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Refrain:
Oh! precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow;
No other fount I know,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
For my pardon, this I see,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
For my cleansing this my plea,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Nothing can for sin atone,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
Naught of good that I have done,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
This is all my hope and peace,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
This is all my righteousness,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Now by this I’ll overcome—
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
Now by this I’ll reach my home—
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Glory! Glory! This I sing—
Nothing but the blood of Jesus,
All my praise for this I bring—
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
