False Christian teachings, trends….
This post contains C H Spurgeon’s Morning and Evening thoughts for May 3rd. Spurgeon’s morning verse is, “In the world ye shall have tribulation” — John_16:33; via this verse, he talks about the furnace of affliction that is necessary to conform the believer into the image of Christ. His evening verse is, “A very present help” — Psalm_46:1. His focus is on encouraging believers to appropriate covenant graces to aid in their struggles.
The entire News Letter of Mike Gendron’s ministry, Proclaiming the Gospel has been copied and pasted in below. This ministry is about proclaiming the biblical gospel to Roman Catholics, because they are being taught a false gospel based on works. This time, I also pasted in the information about teaching conferences and ministry publications of tracts, books, etc. The links are live to his ministry site, for those who would like to order some of his publications.
This post contains a 12-minute Epoch Times video about truth in media. It has brief comments by Tucker Carlson and various other media personalities; also by Biden. Epoch Times, Joshua Phillips makes some good points about truth. There is a narrative summary of the video below it in the post.
This post contains two short videos about J Gresham Machen; the first is on his book Christianity and Liberalism. Therein, Stephen Nichols explains the controversy which led Machen to write his book. In the course of his explanation, Nichols provided basic teaching on modernism, liberalism, the Scopes monkey trial, and Christian fundamentalism…. If you know nothing of these things, you should hear this video because it will give you insight into origins of current struggles in the church. The second video, 7-minutes, is an answer to a question submitted to Ligonier Ministries. This video is also on Machen but is more of an overview and covers different things.
I have never heard of enneagrams, but if you attend a trendy Christian church, you may have. If that is the case, then please listen to this 10-minute video by a biblical Christian pastor. He goes through the process of ‘testing the spirits’ regarding the enneagram. You will learn about from where, whom it derives; whether it is biblical…. If you would know more, the following link is to a video interview at Doreen Virtue’s YouTube site, the topic is ‘Why I Quit Using The Enneagram.’ In case you do not know Doreen, she was a New Age guru, having written much and spoke much to audiences on the New Age. She was converted to Christianity about a decade or so ago and speaks against all those things today.
