While the Lindsay Clancy case has captured the nation's attention, we want to ask a very specific question: Is "Not Guilty by reason of insanity" a biblical verdict? God's word spends a great amount of time talking about justice and righteousness, so this should matter to us. Are we judged for our intent or for our actions, and does being under great mental strain or pressure free us from guilt under God's law?Thumbnail image by Greg Derr/Pool/The Patriot Ledger via APTimecodes00:00 Lindsay Clancy04:20 Your Eye Shall Not Pity18:08 The Cry of Innocent Blood25:02 Punishing Demoniacs32:34 Doing Our Will41:14 Putting Out the EvilProduction of Reformation Baptist Church of Youngsville, NCPermanent Hosts - Dan Horn, Charles Churchill and Joshua HornTechnical Director - Timothy KaiserTheme Music - Gabriel Hudelson

The devotion centers on the transformative power of prayer rooted in God's character, drawing from David's psalms to emphasize the importance of focusing on who God is—His steadfast love, faithfulness, and mercy—rather than merely on what He provides. It calls believers to cultivate a spirit of gratitude, not just for blessings, but for God's very nature, highlighting that worship expressed through thanksgiving and hymns magnifies Him more than material offerings. The preacher urges a return to traditional spiritual disciplines, particularly the use of hymnals, which serve as vessels of theological truth and emotional connection, enriching prayer with the timeless words of past believers. Personal testimonies illustrate how hymns and songs of God's love have sustained individuals through hardship and shaped their relationship with Him. Ultimately, the message calls for a deeper, more intimate communion with God, where prayer becomes an act of worship that honors His character, and gratitude is directed toward His person, not just His provisions.

The sermon emphasizes the urgent need for believers to maintain unwavering loyalty to the exclusive and pure gospel of Jesus Christ, as articulated in Galatians 1:6-10. It highlights the historical and contemporary necessity of defending the faith against distortions that add human works or deny the sufficiency of Christ, drawing on the examples of early church fathers and modern leaders who stood firm against heresy. The message challenges the audience to reject any compromise of the gospel, asserting that there is only one way of salvation through faith in Christ alone. It calls for a zealous, non-negotiable commitment to the truth, urging ministers and believers to please God rather than men, even at the cost of personal popularity. The tone is convicting and urgent, reminding the congregation that no generation serves under peacetime conditions and that the integrity of the gospel must be preserved with holy fervor.

This sermon examines the testimony of Jesus in John 5, where He presents multiple witnesses to His divine identity, including John the Baptist, His miracles, the Father, and the Scriptures. The central argument posits that the rejection of Jesus by religious leaders is not due to a lack of evidence, but rather a deliberate unwillingness to submit to Him. The preacher contrasts the temporary joy of enjoying a preacher's light with the necessity of coming to Christ for eternal life, highlighting the human tendency to seek human glory over divine truth. By analyzing the 'autopsy' of unbelief, the message reveals that the root of rejection is a lack of love for God and a desire for self-justification. The sermon concludes with a call to repentance, asserting that while humans are naturally unwilling to come to Christ, God's grace transforms hearts, making the unwilling willing through His power.

In this episode, John Unger sits down with Pastor Cogbill and Pastor Ahlenius to discuss questions on the ties between the Church and the individual Christian. What does it mean to be a part of the catholic (or universal) church? Must we attend a local church in order to be a part of Christ's body? What did the Westminster Divines mean by the terms visible and invisible church? Are those the best categories for surveying the elect of God?

This sermon explores the sufficiency of Christ's sacrifice as presented in Hebrews 9, contrasting the repeated, temporary offerings of the Old Covenant with the single, eternal redemption provided by Jesus. The message emphasizes that Christ, as the High Priest, entered the holy place once for all, offering His own blood to purge believers' consciences from dead works and enable them to serve the living God. The tone is both comforting and convicting, assuring the audience that salvation is complete and secure, while challenging them to respond with active faith and evangelism. The preacher argues that recognizing the completeness of Christ's work removes the need for human effort or additional revelation, calling believers to live confidently in their identity as redeemed people. Ultimately, the sermon urges the church to abandon spiritual laziness and embrace a life of service and witness, grounded in the unchanging truth of the gospel.

The Cost of Grace Jesus did not redeem us so we could keep our old lives—His grace rescues us, owns us, establishes us, and teaches us to live under His rule. The message centers on the truth that the gospel does not merely add Jesus to our lives—it brings us under His light, His rule, and His grace. Drawing from Balaam's prophecy in Numbers 24, Jesus is presented as both the Star who gives light and the Scepter who rules. The enemy could not curse what God had blessed, but Balaam showed how God's people could harm themselves by compromising with what God had forbidden. This warns believers that grace is never permission to live however we choose; grace teaches, corrects, cleanses, and brings our lives under the Lordship of Jesus. From 1 Thessalonians 2 and 2 Corinthians 5, the message emphasizes that believers have been entrusted with the gospel and must proclaim it faithfully rather than reshape it to please people. The cross is offensive to human pride because it declares that sinners cannot save, reconcile, or make themselves righteous. Yet the good news is that Jesus took our place, died for us, rose again, and gives life to those who trust Him. His love now constrains and compels us, so that those who live through Him should no longer live for themselves but for the One who died and rose again. The message also stresses that while salvation cannot be earned and is freely received by grace, grace was not cheap. Jesus purchased His people with His own life, and therefore redemption changes ownership. We do not surrender ourselves to earn salvation; we surrender because we have been bought by Christ. A Savior who never interrupts, corrects, or redirects our lives i
