Dr. Peter Hammond had this to say about gun control:
"You may not like guns, and you may not like God. But if someone is breaking into your house, the first thing you're going to do is call someone who has a gun. And the second thing you're going to do is pray that they arrive before it's too late!" - From the podcast by Dr. Peter Hammond, The Holocaust in Rwanda

#91 Question: How do the sacraments become effectual means of salvation?

that doth \administer them; but only by the blessing of Christ, and the working
of his Spirit in them that by faith receive them.

Answer: sacrament is an holy ordinance instituted by Christ;
wherein, by sensible signs, Christ, and the benefits of the new covenant, are
represented, sealed, and applied to believers.
#93 Question: Which are the sacraments of the New Testament?
Answer: The sacraments of the New Testament are
baptism and the Lord's supper.
# 94 Question: What is baptism?
Answer: Baptism is a sacrament, wherein the washing with water
in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, doth signify
and seal our ingrafting into Christ, and partaking of the benefits of the
covenant of grace, and our engagement to be the Lord's.
#95 Question: To whom is baptism to be administered?
Answer: Baptism is not to be administered to any that
are out of the visible church, till they profess their faith in Christ, and
obedience to him; but the infants of such as are members of the visible church
are to be baptized.
# 96 Question: What is the Lord's supper?
Answer: The Lord's supper is a sacrament, wherein, by giving
and receiving bread and wine according to Christ's appointment, his death is
showed forth; and the worthy receivers are, not after a corporal and carnal manner,
but by faith, made partakers of his body and blood, with all his benefits, to
their spiritual nourishment and growth in grace.
#97 Question: What is required to the worthy receiving of the Lord's supper?
Answer: It is required of them that would worthily
partake of the Lord's supper, that they examine themselves of their knowledge
to discern the Lord's body, of their faith to feed upon him, of their
repentance, love, and new obedience; lest, coming unworthily, they eat and
drink judgment to themselves.

Religion Without Regeneration: John Wesley's Personal Testimony, by Dr. Ian Brown
The text for this sermon is Matthew 7:21-23 (Audio):
"Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."

Excerpt from this article:
"In 2021, as the spirit of Antichrist continues to rise over a lost and fallen world, the pretend Christians of CCM are revealing their true colors. DC Talk is a band I never liked from the moment I saw the Eye of Horus on their album cover for ‘Jesus Freak’. No Jesus there, just freaks. Now DC Talk band member Kevin Max has come out as an ‘exvangelical’, and wants the world to meet the Universal Christ of the New Age. You might know this ‘universal christ’ by another name, Satan."

Westminster Shorter Catechism (WSC) Q&A #87-90 (1646,1647)
#87 Question: What is repentance unto life?
Answer: Repentance unto
life is a saving grace, whereby a sinner, out of a true sense of his sin, and
apprehension of the mercy of God in Christ, doth, with grief and hatred of his
sin, turn from it unto God, with full purpose of, and endeavor after, new
obedience.
# 88 Question: What are the outward and ordinary means whereby Christ
communicateth to us the benefits of redemption?
Answer: The outward and
ordinary means whereby Christ communicateth to us the benefits of redemption,
are his ordinances, especially the word, sacraments, and prayer; all which are
made effectual to the elect for salvation.
Answer: The Spirit of God
maketh the reading, but especially the preaching, of the word, an effectual
means of convincing and converting sinners, and of building them up in holiness
and comfort, through faith, unto salvation.
# 90 Question: 90. How is the word to be read and heard, that it may become
effectual to salvation?
Answer: That the word may become effectual to salvation, we must attend
thereunto with diligence, preparation and prayer; receive it with faith and
love, lay it up in our hearts, and practice it in our lives.
