This post contains two 5-minute videos about death; and a 2-minute scripture reading of Proverbs 5: VIDEO 1: Pastor Daniel read the final words of 8 atheists and 5 Christians. We all need reminding of just how close death is and we need to think about the state of our souls, as our opportunities to seek God’s grace run out at the time of death. VIDEO 2: a video about the un-biblical Roman Catholic concept of purgatory. When I listened to video 1, I realized that many do not think that their eternal destiny is locked in when they die, like the Bible says. I was glad to find a video and article by Got Questions that biblically addresses this falsehood. (The article on Purgatory has several links to matters that are extremely relevant to the matter of death and eternal life) finally, video 3, a reading of Proverbs 5. Below that, I pasted in the scripture and a succinct commentary with some verses.

Understanding the Religion of Thelema – [Mini Series on Syncretism Part 1]
This post takes a brief article on Satanist Aleister Crowley’s Law of Thelema and via inserted comments in pink font, shows how prosperity preachers encourage their followers along the same lines that Crowley encouraged his. The point is to show that prosperity preaching is as evil to the God of the Bible as is worshiping Satan, each of them glorify the self and much more.
C H Spurgeon’s Downgrade Controversy
This post puts discusses responses of 4 well known preachers of the 19th and 20th centuries, particularly regarding their stance against modernism and pragmatism, or to state it differently, the encroachment of worldliness and false teaching upon the church. The purpose of this post is to prepare listeners for the next post from MLJ’s series on Great Biblical Doctrines, wherein he is providing a further look at the book of Revelation. The section he discusses dealt with God’s judgment upon unregenerate men who persecuted His church. This post looks at movements since the late 1800’s wherein men from the church (unregenerate?) were bringing in worldly METHODOLOGY that carried with it worldliness and spawned false doctrines. Movements in the church today, side B Christianity; wokeness, White privilege… derive from the corruption that occurred earlier in the church. The corruption that Spurgeon, Machen, MacArthur and Sproul stood against.
What is the One True Church? [It is not the Roman Catholic Church]
Mike Gendron explains from scripture how it is that the Roman Catholic Church is not the one true church. It has changed much from the first century church by adding many teachings…. Between Gendron’s teaching and his speaking times and resources, I linked two posts from this blog that speak of the conversions of two former Roman Catholics.
The Real David Platt – Pastor Michael Grant
In the video of this post, Pastor Michael Grant summarized the two-hour documentary on David Platt. He also showed clips of sermons by Platt. Therein, Platt was teaching CRT, preaching “White privilege.” That is about as far as a pastor can get from teaching the Bible.
These Christians Parrot Leftist Redefinitions – Allie Beth Stuckey and Seth Gruber
This post is related to the last post which was on the David Platt scandal. The video of this post is an interview by Allie Beth Stuckey of Relatable. She interviewed Seth Gruber. Stuckey and Gruber were discussing definitions that the political left redefined and persuaded evangelical pastors to take up and preach about. That is, those pastors became pawns of the left, and their congregants were the collateral damage. In the process of their discussion, Gruber mentioned a half-dozen names of “woke” pastors; Gruber also mentioned a useful book on this topic, Megan Basham’s, Shepherds for Sale
Pastor David Platt Documentary [the hostile take over of McLean Bible Church]
This post contains a video short describing the hostile takeover of McLean Bible Church by David Platt and SBC. There are links to the documentary, parts 1 and 2. Also, a link to a post from this blog published in February of 2024 with a 12-minute overview of the scandal. The big point is that when cultural Marxist pastors enter into a church wearing their deceptive sheep’s clothing, the church is likely to become something other than a Bible-preaching church thereafter. Cultural Marxism is atheistic, anti-Christian, despite that many pastors are drinking it down, compromising to woke culture.
The Lie of Witchcraft Today – Good Fight Ministries
This post contains a video short of Pastor Joe Schimmel addressing an actresses’ statement about witchcraft. Pastor Schimmel’s Good Fight Ministries has many video shorts featuring other actors; they have many in depth videos on about every un-biblical topic a Christian might encounter in this society. It is a good site for growing in discernment.
Franklin Graham’s border tour draws 20,000 signers demanding its cancelation – RNS
The article of this post is from Religious News Service, it is about Reverend Graham being cancelled, prohibited from completing certain scheduled stops on his religious tour. The Liberal religious group that collected over 20K signatures to cancel Graham calls themselves, “Faithful America.” They are a “Social Justice Ministry.” Social justice and biblical justice are two very different concepts….
