Expulsive Power of a New Affection
When you accentuate the positive, this enables elimination of the negative. For example in Romans 13:14+ we see this dynamic where Paul commands us to "put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh in regard to its lusts." Note the same pattern in Galatians 5:16+ where he commands us to "walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh."

Perhaps you are going through dark times, even as I have been for many months, with still no end in sight. May your mind be renewed and the joy of your salvation be restored as you ponder Spurgeon's query: "Why should we dread to descend into the dark shaft of affliction, if it leads us to the gold mine of bright spiritual experience? Why should we cry out if the sun of our prosperity goes down, and yet in the darkness of our adversity we are better able to count the starry promises with which the Faithful God has been pleased to gem the sky? Many of His promises are written in 'invisible ink,' which we cannot read till the fire of trouble brings out the characters."

Lowell Johnson sermons - Several years ago (pre-COVID), brother Johnson emailed me and asked if I would post his messages on preceptaustin? After looking over several of them, I realized his sermons were solid, simple, applicational and could be an aid to pastors and teachers, so I proceeded to get his transcripts to post. It was in that fateful year of 2020 that brother Johnson contracted COVID from which he never recovered. My prayer (which I know would be his) is that these messages will be a blessing to pastors and teachers around the globe. That said, here are links to many of his sermons preached over the years.

Maranatha - In Depth Word Study
- A Maranatha Mindset One scholar has noted that in the 260 chapters in the NT, there are 318 references to the Second Coming of Christ which means that about 1 of every 30 verses refers to the return of the Bridegroom (Mt 25:6+, Jn 3:29+, cf Rev 19:7+)! It is also notable that for every prophecy describing Jesus' First Coming, there are eight which look forward to His Second Coming! Surely the Spirit desires to stir up in the Bride (Christ's Body, the Church - Eph 1:22-23+, 2Co 11:2+) a "Maranatha Mindset" which causes us to long for our Beloved, much like Solomon's bride who cried out "Hurry, my beloved!" (Song 8:14+)!

If you would like live links to every index entry, you might consider purchasing Charles Simeon's 21 Volumes of Horae Homileticae Commentary but it is expensive (the index is found in volume 21 but to derive any benefit you would need to purchase the entire set).

It was the middle of winter and the electricity had been knocked out by an ice storm. As we listened to our battery-powered radio the announcer said, “The following churches will be closed due to lack of power.” What a provocative statement! What would the announcer say about many American churches today? They probably wouldn't be closed for lack of activity, but lack of power is another matter!

Youtube Videos -
THE FOLLOWING ARE A SERIES OF YOUTUBE VIDEOS BY BRUCE HURT AND MOST ARE RELATED TO PROPHECY AND THE REVELATION - I am a literalist, so the videos take a futurist approach. Note that most of these videos are not lectures but are in a question/answer format. The entries labeled "Lesson __" represent the discussion of each of the lessons in the Precept course Revelation - Part 4. You will find numerous timelines that relate to the specific topic being discussed (millennium, rapture, day of the LORD, etc).
