False Christian teachings, trends….
Pastor John Piper explains Oprah’s errors in her beliefs about the meaning of Psalm 37:4 – Delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart. In the process, he explains the biblical meaning of that verse and clarifies Oprah’s errors, agenda, motives…. Oprah’s view is also held by those in favor of ecumenism, the two biggest names in that arena are the Pope and Rick Warren; but many think that unity before doctrine is the right way.
This post contains 3 videos. The first, 3-minute video is by Got Questions Ministries and it explains ‘delighting’ in the LORD; the second video is a reading of Psalm 37 with accompaniment of saxophone, KJV; and the third video is a NIV reading of Psalm 37 with gentle musical accompaniment. The biblical explanation provide by Got Question Ministries speaks against the purposes of the entire Prosperity and Word-of-Faith gospels. Those are unbiblical and do not lead to spiritual blessings and towards heaven….
This post contains two videos on hell. The first is 2-minutes 28-seconds in length; therein, Voddie Baucham provides a biblical explanation of hell that you may not have heard before. His explanation silences all those who say that it was unfair for God to have saved only some people from hell…. The second video, 15 minutes, is the son of pastor John Piper, Abraham Piper, who via Tic Toc rants and mocks hell. The video was produced because A Piper has over a million YouTube followers and his erroneous teaching needs to be challenged.
The purpose of this post is to show what has happened to the values of, SBC preacher, J D Greear between the years of 2014 and 2021. He flip-flopped from holding biblical doctrine to holding un-biblical doctrine. In the initial video, from 2014, you will hear Pastors Voddie Baucham, Russell Moore and J D Greear discussing gay marriage. These men also say a lot about biblical marriage and what has happened via cultural influences. Each man was pro-Bible in his doctrine. In the second video, 2021, you will hear what J D Greear said then about gay marriage and homosexuality. His doctrinal stance had become anti-Bible. In the second video, sound advice is offered for SBC members.
This post is the part two of a critique on The Nearness. If you have not read post one, then you should before reading this post. Below are 4 very brief videos; 3 are one-minute in length and the 4th is 25 minutes long. Video one: a video short of John MacArthur explaining the difference between ‘religion’ and biblical Christianity. Video two: explains The Nearness, from their YouTube site. Video three: talks about a session that will occur at The Nearness; and Video four: R C Sproul explaining what it is to encounter the God of the Bible. He uses scripture and personal experience to explain that. In the process, he discusses the realms of ‘the secular/profane’ and the sacred. He explains these ideas in a very understandable manner…. These are the very ideas that were being discussed in the part one of this mini-series, though they were not identified in those terms.

My last three posts are about events that are presently unfolding in our society; the two posts on Curtis Bowers’ Agenda Weekly, touched on the topic of the Nashville shooting by identifying underlying factors. This post explains the “antitheses” more specifically, using Psalm 9. An overview and some discussion points are precede his podcast.
“There is no bridge from hell to heaven. Once this life comes to an end, it is too late to repent of sin and look to Christ for mercy. In this sermon, R.C. Sproul continues his sermon series in the gospel of Luke by examining one of Jesus’ most sobering parables.” The parable of the rich man and Lazarus, Luke 16:19-31. Sermon points are provided for this 32-minute sermon.
In this post, John MacArthur identifies 8 lies upon which this culture is founded, then he clarifies them and provides the truth about each one per scripture. Highlight points are provided for those who don’t have 12 minutes to listen to his words.
