False Christian teachings, trends….
“We are living in a day when liberal theology has made deep inroads in the church. Many professing Christians and even ordained ministers no longer believe in the authority of Scripture or the resurrection of Jesus Christ. How can people deny these essential doctrines and still call themselves Christians? In this message, Dr. Sproul explains that liberal Christianity is not Christianity at all. It is nothing more than unbelief.”
In the 8 minute video of this post, Jeff Mayfield is noting the significant aspects of chapter one of a book he is studying with his congregation: Gentle and Lowly by Dane Ortlund. His message was basically, don’t wait to come to God after sinning because He is merciful to sinners and the rationale for that statement:
The National School Boards Association (NSBA), which denies CRT is being taught in K-12 schools, in a Sept. 29 letter (pdf) said parents at local school board meetings opposed to CRT and mask mandates are contributing to a “growing number of threats of violence and acts of intimidation occurring across the nation” and asked President Joe Biden’s administration to address the issue. The NSBA letter states: “As these acts of malice, violence, and threats against public school officials have increased, the classification of these heinous actions could be the equivalent to a form of domestic terrorism and hate crimes.”
Merrick Garland and the Department of Justice* have indicated that they will be employing the FBI to prosecute parents who are concerned with the teaching of critical race theory in their children’s schools. The constitutional rights of free speech and protest are being ignored and a strange new law of the current administration seems to take precedence over what was established constitutional law. This shouldn’t surprise you: this is what happens in the midst of a radical revolution.
…So, while they built into the Constitution significant democratic elements, they also built in non-democratic features to protect liberty and prevent tyranny. It wasn’t simply that they favored representative government over direct democracy, though they did; it’s that they rejected the idea that “the majority wins” was by definition the just outcome.
