False Christian teachings, trends….
This post contains an article from Religious News Service about United Methodist Churches that are disaffiliating over issues related to the LGBTQ movement. The purpose of the post is to keep readers informed on current events impacting the church amid the culture wars in America. Many churches have compromised by turning from biblical practices and values to worldly ones….
Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt is defending his decision to cut funding for the Oklahoma Educational Television Authority (OETA), pointing to the “problematic” sexual content broadcasted that targeted children. Last week, Stitt, a Republican, vetoed a bill that sought to extend funding for OETA—the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) member station for Oklahoma—through 2026. …OETA broadcasted a segment called “Let’s Learn” that involved reading a children’s book that talks about drag queens. A “PBS Newshour” feature talked about parents’ support for various gender treatments for minors including puberty blockers, and a program on PBS Kids had a same-sex wedding while another included LGBT characters. …“Their ‘LGBTQ+Identity Kit’ is clearly a partisan effort to brainwash teachers and students, sowing seeds of division and hatred in an environment that should seek to protect our children, not use them as political pawns,” said CDF Chief Communications Officer Kristen Huber.
In the 12-minute video of this post, vlogger, Colin Miller discusses Tucker Carlson’s statements about the Nashville shooting of 6 Christians by a trans person. Tucker’s assessment of the conflict that exists between the trans movement and Christians was spot on; Miller merely added to it and framed it in a biblical manner. This video is being posted because it is how biblical Christians need to see the problem; then they will have to admit that there is a conflict and can begin considering strategies.
The following video is from the YouTube site, Fight For Truth. I’m posting the video because his assessment is biblical and Christians need to hear some straight talk on the matter.
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.
In the following video, Pastor John MacArthur reads from Romans 1 and explains the text which describes the stages of judgment that have been unfolding in America the past 50 plus years. MacArthur’s sermon provides a biblical explanation for what is happening in America right now. The judgment of abandonment was initially perceivable when the sexual revolution began in the 1970s; it became more apparent with the movements that followed; it is culminating with the trans movement which could not occur without the stage of the reprobate mind. He closes by saying that no group of senators, congressmen… can fix this because it is judgment from God.
Lawmakers in Kentucky’s legislature on Wednesday passed into law S.B. 150—a bill that prevents minors from accessing transgender procedures—having voted to override Gov. Andy Beshear’s veto of the measure. The move means that Kentucky is the 11th state in the country to ban transgender procedures for minors. It becomes the eighth state to do so this year.
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.
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….
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.]
