False Christian teachings, trends….
Jesus told a parable of a great banquet. Although many guests were invited, they began making excuses once the feast drew near. Today, R.C. Sproul continues his series in the gospel of Luke, urging us to examine where we stand regarding the Lord’s ultimate invitation.

This post contains the first video from Dr John Gerstner’s series on the Westminster Confession of Faith. The purpose of this post is to introduce Christians to confessions and their purpose in the Christian life. Dr Gerstner reads through chapter 1 of the WCF and briefly explains the purpose of the writers and how a student of the Bible can benefit from using this confession in Bible study. Links are provided to various confessions
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]
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
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.
This post contains an article by Religion News Service on the split of the Reformed Church in America. I am posting it because it is an ominous marker, a concrete sign that can be seen and measured, regarding the decline of the biblical church in America. This organization split over LGBTQ issues. Those more concerned with following the Bible than with being socially acceptable, broke away, forming a new denomination.
This post contains a 10-minute John Henry video that displays the ministries of several well-known false preachers that are critiqued by Paul Washer, Todd Friel, John MacArthur, Voddie Baucham and Justin Peters. There are also statistics that compare the huge number of people following false preachers with the very small number of people following biblical teachers.
The article in this post is from Ligonier Ministries, Tabletalk magazine; it is about those things that entangle the Christian soldier. The author, Megan K. Taylor, uses examples of WWII propaganda, and worldly things around us that move us to crave the comforts of civilian life as opposed to getting out and staying on the Christian battle field; she also provided some ideas about dis-“entangling” oneself such as to rejoin the ranks of the active Christian soldiers
This post conveys what the Bible says about the fall of mankind, sin and punishment. The six points from this portion of the Westminster Confession of Faith are the basis of a video featuring professor John Gerstner; also, the six points are in narrative from a modern version of the WCF. I plan on posting a wonderful sermon by C H Spurgeon on sin, later this week. The initial 10 minutes or so of his sermon were about sin, as defined in the Bible; then he went into how sin is often wrongly dealt with in real life by Christian professors. He also emphasized that one must learn to face sin, confess it…. His sermon was one of the best I have heard on the topic and this should prepare readers, who want to deal with sin, to receive what Spurgeon preaches.
