False Christian teachings, trends….
Mat 7:14 But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it.
Stephen Miller always has a sound take on political events. Also, he provided the best definition of “constitutional crisis” I have heard, he said: when the unelected federal judiciary and the unelected bureaucrats call the shots, then we do not have a democracy [paraphrase]. That is why those two groups are so alarmed and attempting to block President Trump’s agenda all the time. In the following 3-minute excerpt, he provides another sound explanation:
Spurgeon’s words for today offer a hopeful perspective for running the Christian race and insight into where one’s help lies.
In my correspondence yesterday, the topic of original sin came up. I thought I would post on this topic because there are so many unbiblical preachers in the 21st century church that many newer Christians may not know about this doctrine. Students of the Bible come to understand it, especially if they attend a church whose standards are the Westminster Confession of Faith or the Baptist Confession of 1689….
This sermon is concerned with one of the most basic requirements of actually being a Christian. Many who profess to be Christian do not understand this basic criterion. That is, many believe they can say the ‘sinner’s prayer;’ or sign a card; or read the Bible; attend a church; be baptized…. Born-again believers do such things, but that is not what has made them a Christian. Born-again believers have faith ‘like Abraham.’ MLJ explains what that means. He also explains some typical mistakes professed Christians make.
This 6-minute video of this post contains a music video about President Trump and commentary by Michael Knowles of the Daily Wire. There is a 1-minute ad for the Hallow Prayer app in the middle of the video, followed by commentary by Knowles. [I found the music video very moving and Knowles commentary was good too. If you care about President Trump, then you will find the video moving also.]
This post contains a 16-minute video about a Muslim group that was trying to establish a gated community just outside a rural Texan community. Benny Johnson addresses the problems with that idea. [The global elites have been using Islam and immigration to destabilize their own culture. Islam has well-established strongholds there and has caused many problems. Those same global elites are undoubtedly behind this. And there are other matters, covered below by Benny Johnson.]
“Faith does not only mean a belief, it doesn’t only mean an intellectual assent. It does mean that, but it means more than that. There are these three essential elements in faith: believing, being persuaded, and acting. In other words, the mind is involved, the heart is involved, and the will is involved.” ―Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones
The April newsletter discusses the following topics: Glory to God For One Million in Circulation; The Inspiration Came from a Crisis of Faith; Catholic Authorities Are Conflicted; Two Paths to Eternity; Reaching Catholics for Christ; and more.
Carl Higbie of Newsmax, clearly presents the DOGE fraud uncovered by Musk and his team. If you did not already know, many politicians and related people are millionaires via our tax dollars and their scamming. The scams have apparently been a long, well-established pattern of money-making for DC area white collar criminals.
The Martyn Lloyd-Jones sermon in this post is a careful description of the shield of faith. The sermon overview and points written by MLJTrust cover most of MLJ’s points. If you are trying to actually learn how to use the shield of faith, then I would recommend that you hear the sermon….
