P. Andrew Sandlin's Podcasts, Preaching, And Lectures

The Health and Wealth Heresy is rivaled today by the Sick and Poor Heresy, the spuriously pious idea that robs God of his glory and tramples his promises by assuming that illness and poverty are the expected common lot of his faithful, world-conquering saints, and that we should never pray in faith, expecting deliverance.

Christianity was never intended to be limited to "quiet time" or the church or personal evangelism. The vastly successful manmade medieval and Enlightenment project of dividing life into what Francis A. Schaeffer termed the lower story of "the real world" — education, logic, science, law, politics, the arts, economics, for example — and the separate upper story of Christianity is the utter denial of biblical faith.

Since the gifts and calling of the sovereign God are irrevocable, those who have been devoted to God as children or youths cannot easily escape his loving clutches. This is a warning to rebellious children, and a comfort to godly parents.

Christian intellectuals are a great gift to the Kingdom of Jesus Christ, but intellectual snobs are a blight on the Lord's name.

The greatest confidence we can have in prayer is not that we are praying successfully but that our Lord is praying successfully for us.

P. Andrew Sandlin discusses with his sons Richard (academic) and Ben (GIS specialist) the current political climate. Lighter and more humorous episode.

In times of great trial and vexation and pain and death, do not ask only, "Where was God in all this?" Ask also, "Where was Satan in all this?" God has chosen not to eliminate evil within history, but to defeat it by his Son.

God hates self-righteousness, but he loves righteousness. In an age that excuses unrighteousness by appeal to grace, never apologize for being righteous.

A 4-minute exposé of the leading socio-political myth of our times.

Classical liberalism, libertarian Marxism, and nativist populism are vying for the Democrat and Republican parties. One of the three philosophies will be left out in partisan the cold.

There can be no Christian Faith without the so-called Old Testament. The Hebrew Scriptures are the foundation of the so-called New Testament church.

We won't make America great again until we know what made America great in the first place.

We live in a cosmic war zone. If we do not allow this fact a prominent place in our spiritual calculation, we will play right into Satan's hands.

If you what to know what Christian culture is, why we need it, and how to create it, listen to this.

The overarching social vision of the West, embraced by nearly all of its elites, springs from the revisionist Marxism of Antonio Gramsci and Herbert Marcuse. It explicitly advocates the destruction of Christian culture and its replacement with egalitarian culture — leveling all moral hierarchies except the privileged hierarchy of state-enforced secularism and/or paganism.

If you want to change your life, family, church, and nation, eliciting God's approval and reformation and revival, pray like Daniel.

The life-giving sexual worldview of the Bible versus the death-dealing sexual worldview of modernity. They are antithetical.

Noah was favored by God because he walked with God, he trusted God, and he obeyed God. God did not favor Noah because he was like the ungodly world, but precisely because he was different. Sons and daughters of the Reformation must learn: God blesses obedience.

Christianity shaped Western society to such a degree that it's impossible to understand it without the Faith, which imparted our greatest cultural blessings. Ours is not a post-Christian world. It is a post-Christendom world. That's what we must revive.

Beware of complicating the biblical picture of obedience. Obedience isn't always easy, but it's never hard to understand.
