False Christian teachings, trends….
In this sermon, Dr. Boice delves into the paradox that as a Christian, we must die in order to live. His sermon text was Romans 12:1 I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. [Dr. James Boice was a contemporary and a friend of R C Sproul; they were born in the late 1930’s; Boice died of cancer in 2000, 17 years before Sproul.]
The purpose of this post is to explain what biblical faith is and is not. The word ‘faith’ is frequently misunderstood, even by believers. Understanding faith will be very helpful for the next post which is about Romans 12:1.

The 12-minute video of this post is by Pastor Michael Grant. Therein, he explained the coming one-world government, religion and economic system. He used scripture and current events to provide a meaningful and understandable foundation for Christians to build upon. [Since even the most prominent theologians of the church, past and present, disagree widely on the subject of ‘end times,’ it is difficult to draw conclusions about that period of time. However, as a Bible student, I believe that Pastor Grant’s points are valuable to understanding any of the major views.]
This brief article from Got Questions Ministries gives a thorough answer to what it means to ‘trust in Jesus.’ I am certain that if you are answering that question with your own reason, that you have answered in an incomplete way. Furthermore, most ideas about Christianity that are floating around in the social sphere are very wrong. Just read through the Bible and you will begin to see that. Mainstream, seeker friendly churches also err greatly. So, please spend 5 minutes of your time and get the correct answer.
This post contains an 8-minute video by Pastor Grant on an article written by the Gospel Coalition. The article favorably compared Taylor Swift to Jesus. The purpose of this post is to make the point that Christian ministries that have the appearance of being orthodox may not be. Furthermore, that if one does not know the contents of his/her Bible, then it is easy to be led astray. Some discernment ministries are linked for those Christians who have not yet become Bible students. A brief list of video highlights are provided.
This post contains a blog article about the ‘Queen of Heaven’ by Got Questions dot org. Since my last post was about the false doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church, I though it an apt time to post another false dogma of the RCC. The article gives biblical texts to refute the dogma fabricated by the Popes.
This post contains a video by Justin Peters Ministries with a fuller assessment of the Alistair Begg event, utilizing more recent news than my other post. There are time stamps so that you may advance video to desired location to skip news you have already heard.
This post contains Mike Gendron’s monthly newsletter. Mike was a practicing Roman Catholic for 37 years before being born again. He and his wife thereafter began their ministry ‘Proclaiming the Gospel’ to witness the biblical Christ to Roman Catholics. I highlighted some words from Letters to Mike that speak to the ALISTAIR BEGG MATTER of the past week. Mike stated those words when questioned as to whether to attend a RCC wedding.
The purpose of this post is to provide an informed opinion on the events of the past week, via Rosaria Butterfield. She is a former lesbian and professor of Queer studies at Syracuse U; she was born again after reading through the Bible several times to write against it. She says a bit about her past in the 1st of three 5-minute videos. Each video deals with one of the terms of the title of this post, and more about her bio is given in the introduction of the post.
