Although the Bible is not a medical textbook, it does address the whole person, including thoughts, desires, and actions. It supplies everything that a believer needs for life and godliness, including the area of pain, misery, and death (2 Timothy 3:15-17; 2 Peter 1:3-4). It is all that a believer needs to properly address and respond to physical problems. These facts are hope-engendering and are part of the answer to the question: How should we then live? https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/1119221514201648 Religion & Spirituality Sat, 19 Nov 2022 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. Jim Halla 0:56:21 no Dr. Jim Halla - Atlantic Reformed Conference https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/1119221542334746 The title is a little trickery. Believers must develop and are developing as a result of being believers! This is a biblical concept. Believers are also to respond to God and to His providence--including pain--in a God-honouring way. Some may deny the validity of such a statement. God brings hard providences to some people, but not to others, however, none have had harder providences than Christ. The cross is foolishness for those perishing, but wisdom for those being saved (1 Corinthians 1:18ff). The Bible gives precedence for the God-honouring approach we are to take in all areas of life: we are to grieve God's way (1 Thessalonians 4:13); we are to comfort and love God's way (2 Corinthians 1:3-4; 1 John 4:7-12); and we are to be fearful and angry God's way (Ephesians 4:26; James 1:19-20). If God both expects us and equips us to respond to trouble in a God-honoring way, then we must learn how to do it. Our discussion now moves to growth in Christ, or, progressive sanctification. https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/1119221542334746 Religion & Spirituality Sat, 19 Nov 2022 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. Jim Halla 0:55:05 no Dr. Jim Halla - Atlantic Reformed Conference https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/1119221546145485 Victory is not often a word associated with patients facing various physical and mental problems. Rather, we hear phrases such as: we will get through it, hang in there, first you accept it and then you can move on, and suck it up. The phrases are born and bred in human wisdom. I heard these phrases so often, and from Christians, that I wrote a book on endurance (Endurance: What It is and How It looks in the Believer's Life). My goal was to help believers endure God's way. The Bible is replete with the admonition to godly living by way of contrasts. The Bible uses contrasts such as holy and unholy, clean and unclean, wise and foolish, light and darkness, the narrow road and the wide road, and fear of the Lord and fear of man. I have also alluded to the fact that a person can grieve God's way or the way of the world, be angry God's way or the world's way, and be fearful God's way or the way of the world (1 Thessalonians 4:13; Ephesians 4:26; James 1:19-20; Proverbs 3:5-8). https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/1119221546145485 Religion & Spirituality Sat, 19 Nov 2022 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. Jim Halla 1:12:13 no Dr. Jim Halla - Atlantic Reformed Conference https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/111922237186457 In this session, we will start at the beginning: Who is God? Who are you? What happened so that man is a sufferer and sinner? A firm foundation is necessary for the Church and individual believer to gain victory. There is no question that pain is the blight of fallen man. The Bible and practical living both testify to that fact. The question before every believer is a simple one: So what? God has the only satisfying answer to your so what? your how long? and your how can I make it? The Bible does not ignore or deny the fact of misery and trouble in a fallen world--the cross highlights this fact. It does not leave believers in a morass of God's tough and hard providence--it gives God's sure answers. Sadly, many people, including believers, are not interested in God's answers. One goal of this session is to help you move to a more robust view of God as you function in His world. ​ https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/111922237186457 Religion & Spirituality Fri, 18 Nov 2022 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. Jim Halla 0:59:06 no Dr. Jim Halla - Atlantic Reformed Conference https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/1027192115481 ​General revelation Special revelation The scriptures are sufficient for every spiritual need How do we know the Bible is true?
