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]

Basic Instructions For Battling Sin – Pastor Mayfield via John Owen
The two very brief videos in this post provide foundational instructions on battling sin from the works of John Owen. Pastor Mayfield explained that God wants Christians to sin less; that all Christians sin; that a Christian must seek God’s help via prayer to successfully fight sin…. The contents of these videos necessary building blocks for a Christian walk. These two videos are from a 17-part series, but stand alone. New and old Christians alike can benefit from what Pastor Mayfield explains because such things are not typically part of the Sunday church service….
Proverbs 5:22 The iniquities of the wicked ensnare him…. [Explained from Commentaries]
The two verses looked at in this post are some of the most frightening in the Bible. They are about those people who think they are getting away with sinning. These not only apply to the believer who is backsliding, but to those marauders who are doing smash and grabs; to those manipulators cheating to win elections; those malevolent globalists creating vaccines to harm others and rid the earth of them, or who are orchestrating famines to accomplish that end… but they are God’s words to all who think they can get away with sinning: the act of sin carries its own punishment. [I reviewed these for my own edification, as my attitude towards some sins is not yet biblical; hopefully, others will find this post worthy of contemplating.]
Taylor Swift, Pink, Demi Lovato and the Divine Feminine
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.

“The Truth of God’s Word Vs. the Lies of Wokeism” Romans 1:18-32
The Truth of God’s Word Vs. the Lies of Wokeism Romans 1:18-32. In the video of this post, Pastor Edwards defined ‘wokeism,’ he also provided an excellent overview of what is happening in our culture, the war between truth and lies. He described the various types of God’s judgments that have been unfolding via cultural events for the past half century. He also identified pastors who are receiving woke doctrines into their churches and clarified that false teachers are part of God’s judgments on us. Furthermore, he talked of social media influences such as Tic Toc and how those negatively influence children that are not monitored by knowledgeable parents. Specific scriptures are part of the printed sermon highlights
Morning and Evening Thoughts for July 25 – C H Spurgeon
Today, Spurgeon’s first meditation was about dealing with temptations to lust; his second, about dealing with afflictions in life that God sends believers; and why He sends them. This post contains a link to a post on Jonathan Edwards, therein, necessary information about how Edwards was able to live an obedient life is noted; born-again believers must come to the same realizations he came to, before obedience is possible
The Heavenly Race – C H Spurgeon
This post contains a 7-minute sermon excerpt and the entire sermon. The excerpt contains an exhortation by Spurgeon wherein he suggests that we should think of our race as though we were running from a swordsman that wants to slay us. To which he makes the following points: no one would have to exhort us to run; one would run with all his might; if we had eyes to see, then we’d know that hell pursues us; sin pursues us; evil wants to overtake us; the avenger of death is pursuing us and we should run to the city of refuge with all our might; the gates of that city stand open; Christ is that city; many shall not enter that city. Sermon highlights precede the full-length sermon

Morning and Evening Thoughts by C H Spurgeon for July 19
Today, Spurgeon’s morning and evening thoughts are about God’s purpose for sending affliction into the believer’s life. If you have been feeling discouraged by hardships and your own failures in your Christian walk, then you could easily find encouragement in his words. You might be more inclined to seek Christ out in His word and prayer, than avoiding Him because of a sense of failure (which seems to mostly be about self-reliance, which God is working to eradicate via affliction).
Do You Have A Christian Worldview? Assess your worldview via the contents of this message
In the video of this post, Ken Ham, of Answers in Genesis, specifically explains why many Christian youth turn away from the church. I posted a 4-minute excerpt of this message recently, but as I listened to the message again this morning, I realized that Ham does a thorough job of articulating the Christian worldview in the process of informing his audience on the topic of youth leaving the church. This video clearly explains how it is that church leaders and parents have failed their children. His message not only informs hearers, but provides them with specifics required for turning this situation around and encouragement to find strength in Christ and His word
