Joyce Meyer; Joel Osteen and other false word-of-faith teachers critiqued

This post contains a video by John Henry that critiques false prosperity and word-of-faith teachers: Joel Osteen; Joyce Meyer, Kenneth Copeland, Jesse Duplantis, Victoria Osteen, Robert Morris, Joseph Prince. They are all shown to say the same things that Osteen speaks. In the middle of the video, a Ted Talk on Law of Attraction is given. Thereafter, Osteen’s words are compared and shown to be 99% Law of Attraction (secular philosophy), with 1% scripture. John MacArthur and Justin Peters clarify and contrast the false teachings with scripture. MacArthur closes by specifying how these heretics are stumbling blocks in the church

Grace Alone & Predestination – Pastor Patrick Hines

This post contains a 50-minute sermon by Pastor Patrick Hines that focuses on God’s grace in salvation and unconditional election. The chief texts he used were Ephesians 1:36 and Romans 4:14-16. In the course of his sermon, he brought numerous additional texts into play, also a few quotations: one from the work of J Gresham Machen; one from the Westminster Confession of Faith; one from Luther’s works. He clearly identified all the blessings that are found ‘in Christ.’ There are links to other very brief articles to explain: ‘second blessing,’ ‘hidden in Christ,’ and ‘foreknowledge.’ It is an extremely educational sermon for those who have been Christians for a while. Sermon HIGHLIGHTS follow the MP4 sermon which had to be divided to be uploaded

Martin Luther & Faith Alone / Imagine Believing We Don’t Need a Savior – Pastor Hines Podcast

This post contains a 10-minute podcast by Pastor Patrick Hines on the ‘righteousness of God.’ He frames it in terms of Martin Luther’s experience before he discovered this righteousness that God; how he discovered this righteousness; how it impacted him. In the middle of the podcast is a 3+ minute example of the typical thoughts a woman had on her way home from shopping; the example typifies human sinfulness and helplessness to enter into heaven without the imputation of Christ, our Savior’s righteousness to us and our trusting in that instead of anything we might do

What is the purpose of the Mosaic Law? | GotQuestions.org

This post contains a 2 minute 35 second video that provides an overview of the law and the gospel. Every Christian needs to have a working understanding of the relationship between the law and the gospel, Pastor Nelson touches on that in the video. Additionally, the adherents of every religion in the world believe they can do something to earn favor, to please God. It seems that many Christians also believe that. The video also touches on this fatal error that undoubtedly ruins the souls of many.

The Perversion of Love – John MacArthur

In this post, Pastor John MacArthur uses Ephesians 5:1-7 to explain God’s love and Satan’s counterfeit, perverted version of love that world-lings seek. In the process, the born-again Christian will likely get some clarity about what is pleasing to God and what types behavior, longings… are to be avoided.

Israel and the Church – Part 3 – the Land

This post contains Pastor Ramsey’s third sermon on Israel and the Church, the ‘land.’ His purpose in preaching this mini-series was to help Christians think biblically about Old Testament Israel, the church and the modern state of Israel. Much confusion prevails about these because of the widespread acceptance of the ‘dispensationalism,’ which he addressed in the first sermon. He concluded that the land of Canaan, Palestine, in the middle east is no longer holy, no longer religiously significant at all….

Taylor Swift’s Dangerous Descent into Witchcraft Sorcery & Casting Spells – Doreen Virtue and Pastor Joe Schimmel

Taylor Swift seemed like a sweet professing Christian pop country singer. So what happened to her? During her Eras tour as you’ll see in this video, Taylor is clearly dancing witches’ coven ceremonies during her Willow song, and she is posting about witchcraft, sorcery and casting spells. A witch school even welcomed Taylor into their tribe. Tragically though – even if Taylor genuinely doesn’t believe she’s a witch – she is glorifying witchcraft and is influencing audience members toward witchcraft.

Satan and the Gospel – Kingdom

In a war, the truth can determine who wins. In this war against Satan, if we are not clear on what the power of the gospel truly is, we will not be set free by it. Satan has been adding to the gospel for two thousand years, but not lies we would recognize. He adds God’s law into the gospel. Commands we know are good and healthy, but not when it comes to the gospel. Only grace is attached to the gospel, not the law. In This episode, Jon explains how the gospel being confused with the law is a tactic by Satan to confuse and discourage the soldiers of the King.
