The Parable of the Great Supper (Luke 14:15-24) — A Sermon by R.C. Sproul
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.

CRT and Woke Doctrine of Demons – Pastor Patrick Hines Sermon #shorts
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.’”
Galatians 5:17 For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit….
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.

New Campaign Seeks to Protect Children From Ideology-Driven ‘Gender-Affirming Care’ – Epoch Times
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.
A Generation in Distress Is Producing Dangerous Adults – Epoch Times Commentary
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.
SATANISM IN OUR CULTURE, Paganism, Part 46
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.
