In Proverbs 5:5 and 6, Solomon talked about how the harlot leads one from the path of life – she has no concern for it, and will lead you from it by her wiles; and in Proverbs 7, he made a statement that she will lead a man down the path to death like an ox is led to the slaughter – he doesn’t know he is going to his death….

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 False Ministries of Steven Furtick and T. D. Jakes Critiqued
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.
False Christianity | Voddie Baucham
This post contains 2 videos: the first is a 1-minute video featuring Voddie Baucham wherein he talks about how biblical Christians are being further marginalized in this culture by those worldly Christian professors who drink the world’s Kool-aid and are praised by the world for this foolishness; the second video is 15 minutes in length and provides numerous examples of Baucham’s words playing out in our current culture. The point of these videos is to encourage biblical Christians to continue on in God’s WAY and do not be de-railed by those Christian around you that turn away and receive praise from the world, as your Judge is the One who wrote the Bible and expects His children to honor and obey Him.
The fight of faith, A W Pink
This post contains a 20-minute reading from A W Pink’s writings about fighting the good fight of faith. His description of the fight is very useful because he boils things down such that one can begin fighting. Sermon points precede the video, so those who do not have 20 minutes to spare, can read the points, which are more than just highlights.
Trendy Christians Err Greatly
This post contains the Evening portion of C H Spurgeon’s Morning and Evening Thoughts for November 10. His words are very needful to the contemporary church because these words reveal their betrayal of Him, whom they falsely profess to be their Master. If you are struggling to carry your cross because it is so difficult due to the maltreatment from the world, then Spurgeon’s words will encourage and comfort you, as this message is woven throughout the Bible. Jesus stated it often, see John 15:18-27 for one example, other texts referenced in the post.

Pastor Tim Conway – Key To The Renewed Mind
This post contains an 11-minute excerpt of a Tim Conway sermon on renewing the mind. There is a list of sermon highlights of the video. He says a lot about how the word impacts those who abide in it. This is for every Christian, as new and old Christians alike may have trouble abiding in God’s word.

He is currently preaching in Hebrews.
