My purpose in posting this article is to explain the concept of effectual calling, as it occurs often in the scriptures. And those who only read bits and pieces of scripture usually don’t understand such terms. Effectual calling occurs early in the process of salvation.

John MacArthur calls The Chosen Unbiblical — Pastor Michael Grant
This post contains two videos by Pastor Michael Grant. The first, a 2-minute video featuring Pastor John MacArthur, stating why MacArthur rejects The Chosen; the second video spends 14 minutes on Dallas Jenkins statements that the Mormons with which he affiliates while making The Chosen, believe in and love the same Jesus he does. The 6-minute video on Mormonism that concludes the video undoubtedly proves that Mormonism does NOT worship the same Jesus as evangelical Protestantism. In fact, no other heretic or false preacher that is reported on in this blog comes close to the extremely unbiblical Jesus of the Mormons. Please watch that last 6 minutes of the second video to see for yourself.

Street Preacher Quotes JOHN 3:16 Confronted by Police in UK for Hate Crime
The 11-minute video of this post covers 3 points: the confrontation of a street preacher by 5 police; the disparity of treatment between UK citizenry and Christians compared to Muslims and non-citizens; and the street music ministry of a 20-year old that was also threatened by police. The purpose of this post is to help Americans see what is coming soon; it is already in Europe and Canada. Furthermore, the pressures that are causing legislators to bow down to activists of LGBTQ and Cultural Marxism, are also causing pastors to bow down. That is, the gospel is also being hindered by pastors and congregants that support these two anti-Christian forces….

Indoctrinating Our Children to Death (With Alex Newman) – Agenda Weekly by Curtis Bowers
In his Behind the Scenes video, Curtis interviews Alex Newman to discuss his new book on education, and the 200-year quest by the Left to control the hearts, minds, and souls of our young people. Alex compellingly documents the untold history behind government education and its founders. Among other bombshells, his book proves that the system is not “broken,” but is working well, considering the goals of its architects. These goals included turning Americans away from God and fundamentally transforming the nation away from its constitutional foundations. This post contains three other videos on the topics of protecting your homestead; antisemitism; and efforts to criminalize investigative journalism via the Julian Assange case.
UN-BIBLICAL PREACHING ILLUSTRATED: Steven Furtick – Revives “Little gods” Doctrine….
My last post illustrated biblical preaching that glorifies God and edifies the sheep of God; it used a video of a Voddie Baucham sermon: the World, the Flesh and the Devil. The videos in this post, sermons by Steven Furtick, illustrate preaching that blasphemes God and leads God’s sheep far astray. This two-part mini-series came out of a question a reader asked me regarding the nature of biblical preaching and its opposite. Each of these two posts list THREE POINTS that help listeners determine whether a sermon is from a biblical preacher or a counterfeit preacher.
