Is Oprah right on Psalm 37:4? – Ask Pastor John
Pastor John Piper explains Oprah’s errors in her beliefs about the meaning of Psalm 37:4 – Delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart. In the process, he explains the biblical meaning of that verse and clarifies Oprah’s errors, agenda, motives…. Oprah’s view is also held by those in favor of ecumenism, the two biggest names in that arena are the Pope and Rick Warren; but many think that unity before doctrine is the right way.

The Heavenly Race – C H Spurgeon
This post contains a 7-minute sermon excerpt and the entire sermon. The excerpt contains an exhortation by Spurgeon wherein he suggests that we should think of our race as though we were running from a swordsman that wants to slay us. To which he makes the following points: no one would have to exhort us to run; one would run with all his might; if we had eyes to see, then we’d know that hell pursues us; sin pursues us; evil wants to overtake us; the avenger of death is pursuing us and we should run to the city of refuge with all our might; the gates of that city stand open; Christ is that city; many shall not enter that city.

For decades, economists such as C. Fred Bergsten, former advisor to Henry Kissinger and founding director of the Peterson Institute for International Economics, have been quietly working on ideas for global taxes, including carbon-emissions taxes, global sales and income taxes, taxes on international emails, jet-fuel taxes on international flights, and so forth….

Ending the Silence [via the new film: Sound of Freedom] The New American
Released by Angel Studios, the independent film Sound of Freedom could be the catalyst for exposing the evil child sex industry and rescuing the children. …
Annalisa Pesek. …Here are but a few facts the film uses to grab our attention. In a single year, more than 22 million new images of child pornography were posted to the web — an increase of 5,000 percent over the past five years. Moreover, the child slave trade not only has passed the illegal-arms trade, but will soon pass the drug trade. Consider that a bag of cocaine can be sold one time, but a child can be sold five to 10 times a day, the film informs.
