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.

Reformed Church in America splits….
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.

The Call of the Christian Soldier by Megan K. Taylor, Tabletalk Magazine
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
The Fall of Man, Sin, Punishment — John Gerstner from The Westminster Confession of Faith
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.

Which Christian Artists Have Changed Their Views About Marriage? — WWUTT
In December, Amy Grant became the first Contemporary Christian Musician to receive an artistic achievement award from the White House. A few days later, she reportedly hosted her niece’s same-sex marriage — such support of LGBTQ is likely what qualified her to be the first artist in CCM to receive such an “honor.” Numerous other CCM artists are identified as supporting this unbiblical movement. “Professing Christians who lust for sex, money and the world’s approval will show what they truly worship.” Be discerning and do not get caught up in this apostasy….
