The video of this post is about sanctification. Mostly it is about sexual immorality; but there are also some words about sanctification, holiness, and manifesting one’s Christian growth for the world to see.

James 1: 2-11 – Trials – Pastor Patrick Ramsey
This post contains a sermon from James 1: 2-11 on God’s purpose in sending trials and how to deal with them such that you might begin to know Christian maturity, fullness… being made perfect. Since all Christians will encounter trials from God to grow their faith, it is critical that you know how to go through these trials; upon what you should focus and why that ought to be your focus. This sermon makes those things very clear.
Christian Nationalism – The Source of This Concept
The purpose of this post is to identify the source and fiction of the concept, Christian Nationalism.
Two very brief videos are used to convey ideas in this post, one on Cultural Marxism and one on the border wall problem, which seems to be a chief driving force behind the cry, ‘Christian Nationalists!’ As the phrase, Christian Nationalist, is currently being used, it seems to derive wholly from Cultural Marxism (CM). Particularly, from the ideas of Theodor Adorno, some of which are stated below in a 7-minute video. In the highlight points below the video, his words are in pink font.
Discouragement that is Peculiar to Christians – Pastor Iain Murray
Murray notes that it is a chief goal of Satan to cause a falling out between Christians. To illustrate that one of the chief sources of scripture he uses is from the book of Job. Murray clarifies what was wrong with the advice of Job’s friends, even though it was biblical: their application. Murray’s 3 points: what was wrong with the advice of Job’s friends; 2, what had to be done to end the breakdown in their relationships; 3, what did each person have to do?
Cultural Marxist Influencers – Part 1-C – The Degeneration of America and Western Society
The core topic of this post is what CM wants to do with our 2-A rights. In my mini-series on the impact of Cultural Marxism (CM), on America and the church, this is the final installment of Part 1. I will soon again be focusing on Pastor Tim Keller, part 2-B. The last post, provided additional information of how CM is destroying America and the western world. In the initial paragraphs of this post, there is a recap of Theodor Adorno’s words, calling traditional American values, like family, God, love of country, traditional gender roles, pathological. The Marxist left, via CM, stands opposed to these things that our constitution called God-given rights; and that the Bible condones. This post covers one aspect of how CM aims to harm you and your community: not having the right to protect yourself and your family, when CM has installed many Marxist DA’s, who legislate in favor of criminals… is cause for alarm. If you are not alarmed, then you do not understand the facts. This post will help you familiarize yourself with some of those.
Cultural Marxist Influencers – Part 1-B – Fuller Definition of CM
The 7-minute video of this post provides a fuller definition of cultural Marxism. By viewing it, you will better understand the twisted logic of the democratic Marxist left as it is playing out on the daily news. Highlight bullet points emphasize some of those things. [The following is from YouTube video source site: ] “This is an excellent short video explaining the source and nature of Cultural Marxist movements like political correctness, modern feminism, pansexualism, multiculturalism, “whiteness studies,” etc.
What does it mean to be a living sacrifice? – Got Questions Ministries
This post contains a 3 minute, 30 second video that explains Romans 12:1 and 2. All born-again believers need to learn and do the things specified in these two verses. It also indicates how that is accomplished in a believer’s life. For those who might want more, a recent post is added; that post explains the mindset of surrender
The Christian Soldier’s Perspective – Dr James Boice
This post contains an 8-minute excerpt from Dr James Boice’s 35-minute sermon. The excerpt speaks to how believers must deal with the world if they would follow Christ. In that portion, Dr. Boice spoke of how Alexander Solzhenitsyn wrote of facing such trials when he was placed in the Soviet prison system. Boice’s quote came from Solzhenitsyn’s work, The Gulag Archipelago; he framed it as the correct perspective of a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ. The quote actually explains Jesus’ words: deny yourself, pick up your cross and follow Me. [Highlight points are below video for those who would rather read]
Joyce Meyer; Joel Osteen and other false word-of-faith teachers critiqued
This post contains a video by John Henry that critiques false prosperity and word-of-faith teachers: Joel Osteen; Joyce Meyer, Kenneth Copeland, Jesse Duplantis, Victoria Osteen, Robert Morris, Joseph Prince. They are all shown to say the same things that Osteen speaks. In the middle of the video, a Ted Talk on Law of Attraction is given. Thereafter, Osteen’s words are compared and shown to be 99% Law of Attraction (secular philosophy), with 1% scripture. John MacArthur and Justin Peters clarify and contrast the false teachings with scripture. MacArthur closes by specifying how these heretics are stumbling blocks in the church
