False Christian teachings, trends….
The following one-minute video is an excellent biblical critique of the CRT-WOKE-Church movement; those who embrace it are rejecting the true, biblical gospel. Consider Jesus’ words about such teachers: Matthew 15:8 “‘This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me; 9 in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’”
The video in this post is part 10 of a 12-part series by Dr Jones, Only Two Religions. The series is from his book by that title. Oneism is a descriptor of pantheistic religions, Paganism; and Twoism, is the term he uses to describe Christianity, which is unique among the religions of the world. The book is about how to live a Christian life in a world dominated by ‘oneism’ worship and practices. He wrote the book because there is a return to Paganism in the western world, as seen in the homosexual and trans movements and more. This lecture is about worldview, particularly, how the Christian worldview differs from the other. Also how the apostle Paul dealt with oneism in his day, as seen in Romans 1. The aim of this post is to help Christians know how to witness Christ in this culture. [My long series on Paganism is base on his book, see CATEGORIES, Paganism]
Learning to walk in the Spirit is absolutely essential if you would please God and make it into heaven. I am not satisfied with my own comprehension of such verses found in Paul’s epistles. These verses specifically identify a problem that occurs throughout scripture in that God calls us to repent and obey, and we want to rule our own lives and follow our own inclinations…. Seeing the problem clearly in your own walk is the first step in rectifying it. Exhortations that hold out the solution are found in the epistles and generally in scripture; that would be submitting to the Spirit’s guidance out of a love of God; using God’s appointed means, the armor He has given us with which to fight the fight of faith. But to use God’s appointed means of prayer and scripture reading, e.g., when we are bent on pleasure seeking to fulfill the inclinations/lusts of our heart, is impossible….
This post contains a 13-minute video written and read by author Nancy Guthrie. It is about her recent book, Blessed: Experiencing the Promise of the Book of Revelation. The 10 points she enumerated may help you in your endeavors to read and understand the book of Revelation. Her points are an overview of sorts, providing a context for the contents of Revelation. A major point I appreciated is her points dealing with how to live this life based on Revelation: certainly not like the majority of Christianity is living today
In this post is an excerpt and a whole sermon by C H Spurgeon on James 4:14 yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. The 11-minute excerpt provides a taste of the rest of the sermon. It is valuable for all, as no one knows when his sojourn here will be at an end.
Many people deny the existence of the afterlife, especially the existence of hell. In this series, Dr. Gerstner reminds us of the biblical truth: hell and heaven are real, and how we live today has eternal consequences. Drawing from the writing and preaching of Jonathan Edwards, he considers the terrors of hell, the treasures of heaven, and the reality that all of us will one day come face to face with God.
Richmond, Virginia-based Do No Harm’s “Protecting Minors from Gender Ideology” initiative aims to educate the public and policymakers regarding the “disastrous consequences of the unproven and often harmful practice known as ‘gender-affirming care,’” the group said in a Jan. 26 press release. “Gender-affirming care” is premised on the idea that children have the ability to know when any discomfort they feel with their body should be dealt with by taking “experimental drugs and surgeries” that alter their biological gender.
Over recent weeks, I have been intrigued by the thesis of a book I read early in the New Year. It was Mark Bauerlein’s “The Dumbest Generation Grows Up: From Stupefied Youth to Dangerous Adults,” a sequel to his 2008 examination of the high-tech Millennial generation for which so many parents had the highest hopes. … The book points out that Millennials were the first generation to reach young adulthood in the Digital Age. … Bauerlein blames Woke higher education for much of the intellectual bankruptcy that caught up with the Millennials. More recently, set-upon and traumatized liberal professors are beginning to agree with him.
“I have taken my last COVID vaccine without RCT level evidence it will reduce my risk of severe disease,” Dr. Todd Lee, an infectious disease expert at McGill University, wrote on Twitter…. Allison Krug, an epidemiologist who co-authored a study that found teenage boys were more likely to suffer heart inflammation after COVID-19 vaccination than COVID-19 infection, recounted explaining to her doctor why she was refusing a booster and said her doctor agreed with her position. She called on people to “join the movement to demand appropriate evidence,” pointing to a blog post from Prasad. “Pay close attention to note this isn’t anti-vaccine sentiment. This is ‘provide [hard] evidence of benefit to justify ongoing use’ which is very different. It is only fair for a 30 billion dollar a year product given to hundreds of millions,” Lee said. Dr. Mark Silverberg, who founded the Toronto Immune and Digestive Health
This post contains a 5-minute video on Wicca that explains its roots and where those roots can be seen in our culture: TV, movies and music, that is, basically everywhere. If members of your family partake of media that contains or glorifies any form of the satanic, then this video encourages you to do something to discontinue that. The Bible acknowledges and warns against the demonic realm; modern media productions, that discount the Bible and Christianity, glorify the demonic realm and invite youth to partake of its power.
