False Christian teachings, trends….
The following 5-minute devotional says much about repentance and the hindrances to it. The chief obstacle is self, which he addresses in a succinct but thorough manner. [One big problem of the Christian walk is learning to deny self. This culture has made that a huge problem because we are taught from childhood, by TV ads and by observing what the people around us value, that self-gratification is the height of personal freedom.] Sermon highlights precede the 5-minute video
R C Sproul’s Christian Worldview DVD is very briefly covered in this post. From my notes, I provided ‘nutshell’ definitions for the following philosophical views that are inherent in our culture: secularism; existentialism; humanism; pragmatism; positivism; pluralism; relativism and hedonism. In the last post, I explained a point by referring to pragmatism and thought that a better definition of that term and these other basic definitions could be useful to other Christians in knowing the culture in which they are witnessing Christ. Hopefully, this post will whet the appetite of Christians to hear Sproul on this topic.
The sermon of this post uses the apostle Paul’s speech to the Athenians from Acts 17, to explain our current culture and how we need to present the gospel message today. Pastor Hines explains that our culture is post-Christian and most do not know the basic historical foundational points of Christianity and believe, for example, that our worldview is only one option among many. [Many are becoming aware of what is happening in schools, how children are being indoctrinated into Pagan worldviews; but this type of indoctrination has been happening for 50 years or more in our culture, so many adults are unfamiliar with biblical truth that is essential to salvation and a correct understanding of themselves, God and purpose in living…. This sermon provides information that is as essential to Christians as R C Sproul’s dvd on the Christian Worldview.]
There are two 2-minute videos below by WWUTT; the first is about Beth Moore and the second about her daughter. The pastor’s purpose is to warn Christians about their unbiblical teachings.
The following 1-minute, 30-second video explains some basic things about society: that people are permitted to own property and to protect that property. This administration is attempting to take away these basic biblical rights that God established long ago. Following the video, are links to three posts in this blog that explain the democrat left’s true rationale for wanting to take your guns. Post one is about Parkland school shootings; 2, about strategies of every communist leader before occupying a country; and 3 about the communist strategies of Saul Alinsky that make up the handbook of the democrat left.
The 9-minute video of this post, is about president Biden’s signing into law the ‘respect of marriage act.’ Vlogger, John Henry shows three different clips of Biden as his views ‘evolved’ from opposition to promotion of gay marriage. In the process, he shows how pastors abandoning the preaching of God’s word have helped create this cultural environment. As he discusses the above, John Henry explains how Romans 1 describes the events we are living through as the outpouring of God’s wrath upon society.
Topic of this post in Curtis Bowers’ words: Covid-19 is an integral part of the greater globalist agenda. Elites are still pushing disproven masks, “vaccines,” and narratives because they’re buying time for the other pieces of the puzzle to fall into place. The digital currency, universal ID’s, vaccine passports, carbon scores, surveillance systems, and the 500 new vaccines planned by World Health Organization by 2030 are necessary to complete the digital prison they are building around us.

In the following 1 minute 36 second video, you will learn why the virgin birth was necessary. The video opens with preacher Andy Stanley saying that it was not necessary. The author of this video is speaking from the text of the Bible, many contemporary evangelicals and preachers make up their own way to God, it will prove to fall short of salvation in the end: don’t follow them; learn what is inside the Bible, God will judge you via terms He has established. The video excerpt of this post came from a 16-minute video of 10 of WWUTT’s most popular Christmas messages. That entire video is also here for those who might want to hear other messages: messages and times are indexed
The title of this post does not mean that all prisoners have hit bottom, many will get released and continue in a life of crime; but MacArthur’s church ministry makes literature and ministry available for those who realize they are at a very low point in their lives. Part of the discussion focuses on the need of Christians to be able to present the biblical gospel message of hope to people, also non-prisoners, who are in dire need of it. In these days of mass deception (as evidenced in recent posts herein on the Covid 19 vax), and rapid moral disintegration of our world, everyone needs to be ready to meet God. Christians need to be able to witness Christ and His gospel message to lost family members and neighbors….
The following brief commentary is on Hebrews 13:13 – “Therefore let us go to him outside the camp and bear the reproach he endured.” Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp – As if we were going forth with him when he was led away to be crucified. He was put to death as a malefactor. He was the object of contempt and scorn. He was held up to derision, and was taunted and reviled on his way to the place of death, and even on the cross. To be identified with him there; to follow him; to sympathize with him; to be regarded as his friend, would have subjected one to similar shame and reproach…. [This intro is most of Barnes’ commentary; John Gill’s Exposition of the Bible is also included in this post. Together, they provide better understanding]
