False Christian teachings, trends….
In the 3-minute video of this post, Warren Peel, of Banner of Truth Publishing, provides an overview of Thomas Brooks’ book, Precious Remedies Against Satan’s Devices. Since my next post will be on that book, I thought this video would more fully explain the subject matter of Brooks’ book.
In Proverbs 5:5 and 6, Solomon talked about how the harlot leads one from the path of life – she has no concern for it, and will lead you from it by her wiles; and in Proverbs 7, he made a statement that she will lead a man down the path to death like an ox is led to the slaughter – he doesn’t know he is going to his death…. Some excerpts from commentaries are used to give significance and clarification to these verses and a couple from Hosea
Good Fight Ministries: The song Unholy performed by Sam Smith at the 2023 Grammys tells the tragic story of a father/husband walking outside of the marriage covenant and into adultery. Kim Petras, the singer alongside Sam Smith, tells the media why it was they decided on such a twisted display. Why is it that this and so many of the popular performances today are so wickedly themed?
I received the following video notification from Christian Sermons and Audio Books this morning and was alarmed by its contents, particularly in regard to the numbers of Christians being martyred currently in the world. Video highlights are included in this post. Please listen, this is a wake up call to remind Christians that we are on a battle field and need to act accordingly….
This post contains a lovely video presentation of a brief work by J R Miller. His words get to the essential struggle of the Christian life. I have listened to it a half-dozen times in the past several days and have found much encouragement in his words. I most benefited from learning his perspective on the Christian’s struggles. It is a godly perspective such as is found in 1 Corinthians 9, where Paul speaks of the fight; and in Pilgrim’s Progress. A very useful small book is recommended which guides one through such a journey as the Bunyan’s pilgrim Christian walked.
Learning to walk in the Spirit is absolutely essential if you would please God and make it into heaven. I am not satisfied with my own comprehension of such verses found in Paul’s epistles. These verses specifically identify a problem that occurs throughout scripture in that God calls us to repent and obey, and we want to rule our own lives and follow our own inclinations…. Seeing the problem clearly in your own walk is the first step in rectifying it. Exhortations that hold out the solution are found in the epistles and generally in scripture; that would be submitting to the Spirit’s guidance out of a love of God; using God’s appointed means, the armor He has given us with which to fight the fight of faith. But to use God’s appointed means of prayer and scripture reading, e.g., when we are bent on pleasure seeking to fulfill the inclinations/lusts of our heart, is impossible….
This post contains a 5-minute video on Wicca that explains its roots and where those roots can be seen in our culture: TV, movies and music, that is, basically everywhere. If members of your family partake of media that contains or glorifies any form of the satanic, then this video encourages you to do something to discontinue that. The Bible acknowledges and warns against the demonic realm; modern media productions, that discount the Bible and Christianity, glorify the demonic realm and invite youth to partake of its power.
This post contains an article by Religion News Service on the split of the Reformed Church in America. I am posting it because it is an ominous marker, a concrete sign that can be seen and measured, regarding the decline of the biblical church in America. This organization split over LGBTQ issues. Those more concerned with following the Bible than with being socially acceptable, broke away, forming a new denomination.
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.
This post contains 2 videos: the first is a 1-minute video featuring Voddie Baucham wherein he talks about how biblical Christians are being further marginalized in this culture by those worldly Christian professors who drink the world’s Kool-aid and are praised by the world for this foolishness; the second video is 15 minutes in length and provides numerous examples of Baucham’s words playing out in our current culture. The point of these videos is to encourage biblical Christians to continue on in God’s WAY and do not be de-railed by those Christian around you that turn away and receive praise from the world, as your Judge is the One who wrote the Bible and expects His children to honor and obey Him.
