The enemy: A Closer Look

I always tell people you gotta know your enemy. You should know your enemy because if you don't know your enemy then you don't know yourself.

"If you were a general in the army and you were going to war against another nation, you would study the life of the opposing general. If we are going to live a victorious life, then one of the wisest things we can do is to understand the mind of our opposing general: Satan."

2 Corinthians 4:3-4 NLT

[3] If the Good News we preach is hidden behind a veil, it is hidden only from people who are perishing. [4] Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don’t understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God.

Ephesians 2:2 NLT

[2] You used to live in sin, just like the rest of the world, obeying the devil—the commander of the powers in the unseen world. He is the spirit at work in the hearts of those who refuse to obey God.

Ephesians 4:27 NIV

[27] and do not give the devil a foothold.

Proverbs 1:10 NLT

[10] My child, if sinners entice you, turn your back on them!

They say you can’t let her outrun you at any cost! If you lose a race against Turbo Granny, you’ll be cursed!

Dan Da Dan E1

[pratchettquotes]

As Granny and Oats lurched from mud slough to bog, Oats reflected on the story in the Book of Om--the story, really--about the prophet Brutha and his journey with Om across the burning desert, which had ended up changing Omnianism forever. It had replaced swords with sermons, which at least caused fewer deaths except in the case of the really very long ones, and had broken the Church into a thousand pieces which had then started arguing with one another and finally turned out Oats, who argued with himself.

Terry Pratchett, Carpe Jugulum

code switching is fun, sometimes you slip into the tone of voice you use at work and your friends give you shit for it. other times you talk to someone like you talk to your pet and they start stuttering about it

the more and more you do it, the more you realize how fun it is to treat them that way and suddenly you've turned an otherwise upstanding person into your dog

hell if you push it even further, you get to watch them get more worked up the lower you bring your voice, those one word commands delivered meticulously and yet so sweetly.

crazy how that happens huh?

"It will be a sad day for the church and the world when there is no distinction between the children of God and those of this world."

Charles Haddon Spurgeon was an English Particular Baptist preacher. Spurgeon remains highly influential among Christians of various denominations, to some of whom he is known as the "Prince of Preachers."

Born: 19 June 1834, Kelvedon Died: 31 January 1892 (age 57 years), Menton, France

Prolific Preacher: Charles Spurgeon was one of the most prolific preachers of the 19th century, delivering thousands of sermons. His powerful and eloquent preaching earned him the title "Prince of Preachers."

Metropolitan Tabernacle: Spurgeon became the pastor of the Metropolitan Tabernacle in London in 1861, where he preached to large congregations. The Tabernacle became one of the most famous churches in England under his leadership.

Published Works: He authored numerous books, including "The Treasury of David," a commentary on the Psalms, and "Morning and Evening," a popular daily devotional. His sermons were widely published and remain influential to this day.

Philanthropy: Spurgeon was also known for his philanthropic efforts. He founded several charitable organizations, including an orphanage and the Pastor's College (now Spurgeon’s College) to train future ministers.

Calvinist Theology: Spurgeon was a staunch Calvinist and held firmly to Reformed theology. His preaching and writings emphasized doctrines such as the sovereignty of God, salvation by grace, and the perseverance of the saints.

From Augustine’s Sermons

[upennmanuscripts]

LJS 477 is a collection of sermons, probably compiled from multiple sources, belonging to a preacher, probably Dominican. It also includes excerpts from De animalibus, attributed to Aristotle, and Isidore's Etymologies. It was written in England, perhaps at the Dominican Convent in Oxford, ca. 1250.

Hiiii!!! I hope you're having a great daayy. Do you know some Christian/bible podcast? I need to improve my listening 🥲

Thanks a loottt!!

Aw man, this is kinda sad. So for months I've listened to a LOT of Christian podcasts, but I've had to stop listening to every single one of them because I disagreed with what they were teaching and how there were teaching it, I'm sorry.

BUT DO NOT FEAR because two of these have still held up. Because they're done by actual pastors with actual theological education from good seminaries and not some random guy with a microphone who's been saved for four years and has 'the spiritual gift of teaching'. Which like... is a spiritual gift, I'm not trying to knock that, I'm just saying that maybe before you try influence millions with your incorrect conclusions about hyper spiritual warfare and you get super fired up about demonic influence and doing some crazy stuff about it you should take some classes.

Anyway. Random rant. Here you go!

Timothy Keller's Sermons (One of the most solid theologians of our time, his preaching is incredible and I love listening to this so much)

Ask Pastor John (Piper) (Note: John Piper does have some weird takes on stuff. But only on 'Christian issues' that aren't directly talked about in the Bible. I treat him like Martin Luther- when talking directly about the Gospel they are two of the best. Both of their commentaries on Romans? Unparalleled. But when talking about an issue way in left field? Take a few grains of salt. Or an entire shaker. All of that aside, most of what he talks about here is really solid, but if you find yourself going 'huh?' don't be afraid to dig around and try and figure out why)

I wish I had more that I could feel confident enough in their theology and teaching to recommend! If you'd like, I could point you to a few other people that might have a better answer to this than I do.

Or, honestly, I do have a list of specific episodes that I think are fire, but I don't like their podcast as a whole, if that makes sense. So if you want that list, I'm happy to share that too!

i also think its funny that fo4, you are looking for your son. the only time the game seems to give you hope that youll find him is with kellog and then your told hes in the institute.

while in 3, even if you dont assume your dad is in megaton, you have to track him to 3dog, then rivet city, then jefferson memorial, before finding him at vault 112.

fnv does a similar thing, tracking benny through multiple towns and settlements, while not requiring you to do it, it benefits yoy if you do (ie: being able to convince swank about him)

“I will go anywhere with you, Mrs. Cadwallader,” Celia had said; “but I don’t like funerals.” “Oh, my dear, when you have a clergyman in your family you must accommodate your tastes: I did that very early. When I married Humphrey I made up my mind to like sermons, and I set out by liking the end very much. That soon spread to the middle and the beginning, because I couldn’t have the end without them.”

George Eliot, "Middlemarch"

Do you know any good preachers of a more progressive/accepting persuasion who post their sermons/homilies online? The folks I used to listen to I very strongly disagree with on many things now *shrugs*

Sorry for the delay in answering!

I have an old masterpost of progressive church services & sermons, I imagine some of the links are broken now but that's a starting place!

I imagine others have great recs for you — followers?

[worshipbeginsontheknees]

I would gladly kneel at your feet

To know the way reverence feels

To taste scripture on my tongue

As you deliver a most fervent sermon

Feel my words around you

Perhaps today they could be enough

To find your favor in full
