False Christian teachings, trends….
This post has a 10-minute video of false teacher Glenda Green. I transcribed the initial 6 minutes of the video and commented on it from a biblical perspective. I’ve been a student of the Bible for 20 years and spent about that much time in false religions… before God revealed Himself to me, giving spiritual rebirth.
Some false teachings seem to produce genuine healings, such as Christian Science, new age, reiki, shamanism, NAR, and hyper-charismatic word of faith teachers and false apostles and prophets. Justin Peters, who has endured cerebral palsy his entire life and wrote his Masters Thesis on this topic, explains these are often psychosomatic temporary healings, or spiritual warfare demons causing symptoms in order to lead people to false teachers. God still does healing miracles today, of course; however, it’s always according to his will. [From Doreen’s site]
Taylor Swift, Demi Lovato and P!nk have come out with different songs denigrating – even mocking – those who believe the Bible concerning many of the most vital issues of conscience. We take a look at the esoteric leanings and ultimately the source for the modern feminist movement by the teachings of Helena Blavatsky, Alice Bailey and other theosophical practitioners who have pushed what can be described only as The Divine Feminine.

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….
The following video shows celebrities, talk show hosts, a sports commentator, Paul Washer and Voddie Baucham taking a stand for Christ and talking of Him openly; it contrasts those people with those taking an open stance for Satan. The sports commentator’s remarks about sin were very helpful: he used scripture to talk about sin, but he also included himself in that group of sinners. He was able to confront the biggest cultural issues in a humble, loving manner.
The video in this post is by vlogger John Henry, it is about ‘hearing the voice of God.’ During the video, he recorded the statements of 3 biblical preachers about the matter: MacArthur, Johnson, and Peters. His video shows the following preachers talking about hearing the voice of God: Kenneth Copeland, Joyce Meyer, Priscilla Shirer, Steven Furtick, Bill Johnson, Rick Warren, Charles Stanley, and Kris Valotton
In the 6-minute video of this post, John Newton asks the question, “What is covetousness?” He then provides an answer, beginning with the statement, “a sin from which few people are entirely free.” Newton based his brief exposition on Ephesians 5:5 For this you know, that no fornicator, unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.

The following 5-minute devotional says much about repentance and the hindrances to it. The chief obstacle is self, which he addresses in a succinct but thorough manner. [One big problem of the Christian walk is learning to deny self. This culture has made that a huge problem because we are taught from childhood, by TV ads and by observing what the people around us value, that self-gratification is the height of personal freedom.] Sermon highlights precede the 5-minute video
There are two 2-minute videos below by WWUTT; the first is about Beth Moore and the second about her daughter. The pastor’s purpose is to warn Christians about their unbiblical teachings.
The 9-minute video of this post, is about president Biden’s signing into law the ‘respect of marriage act.’ Vlogger, John Henry shows three different clips of Biden as his views ‘evolved’ from opposition to promotion of gay marriage. In the process, he shows how pastors abandoning the preaching of God’s word have helped create this cultural environment. As he discusses the above, John Henry explains how Romans 1 describes the events we are living through as the outpouring of God’s wrath upon society.
