False Christian teachings, trends….
In this article from The Christian Institute, a Pennsylvania court, Pittsburgh, Mt. Lebanon school district, teacher, Megan Williams, championed Transgender Awareness Day, and taught 6-year-olds about gender ideology without parental permission. Parents normally have the option of removing their children from teaching that conflicts with their religious and moral beliefs.
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.
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
This post contains the latest installment of John MacArthur’s sermon series: Exposing the Campaign for Immorality. The Mp3 version of his sermon is in this post and a link is provided to hear the video version. This post also contains a PDF of his sermon, the initial 3 pages of 12 are pasted with a link to the additional 9 pages, for smartphone users who would have difficulty reading a PDF on their small screens. Additionally, I provided a 9-minute excerpt for those who only want the main point, the conclusion.
This post contains an Mp3 message by John MacArthur, it is another installment of John MacArthur’s series, Exposing the Campaign for Immorality. …While the DNC is the catalyst, the need for addressing these pressing issues is much bigger than any political agenda, as society at large has moved beyond acceptance of sinful behavior and now celebrates it. The promotion of this behavior is inescapable and spreads far wider than the borders of the United States. In light of this, I want to provide a series of messages offering clarity to many critical issues. …The current state of the world mirrors the time of Israel’s judges: “Everyone did what was right in his own eyes” (Judg. 21:25). Rebellious humanity echoes the words of Psalm 2, “Let us tear their fetters apart and cast away their cords from us!” (v. 3). The restraints have been thrown off—and mankind is paying the price….
This post contains a 3-minute 35-second video excerpt of a Tucker Carlson interview of Elon Musk. Musk is talking about the democratic administration and immigration. Musk indicated democrats modified immigration laws to facilitate overloading swing states with illegals. He talked about population percentages…. He quickly mentioned the “parole process” that democrats have instituted to facilitate this illegal process: CHNV. [I linked my recent post on CHNV]
The message of this week’s video reminded me of a John MacArthur sermon in that Curtis’ assessment of the ills of America were shown to be consequences of our turning from God to trust in man. God causes a nation to rise or fall based on the views / actions of a people towards Him. Curtis gave many specifics and he called Christians to repent….
In 2015, the Supreme Court foisted a great injustice on the American people: the legalization of homosexual marriage. The result has been a head-on collision of biblical truth and social norms. In the eyes of the world, telling the truth about homosexuality is officially hateful and bigoted. It may even come with legal consequences. Some Christians responded by bending to the culture’s pressure campaign and softening their views on homosexuality in the name of tolerance. …True believers do not have the liberty to withhold biblical truth because it has become unpopular.
Dr. MacArthur opens this message by explaining the different kinds of wrath of God that are apparent in Romans 1: eschatological wrath (end times); sowing and reaping wrath which is dealt out as consequences for the sin a person sows; cataclysmic wrath, God unleashes this type of wrath via miraculous use of the natural order, such as the flood or any other massive disaster that catapults souls into eternity; eternal wrath, as in those who suffer hell; but the wrath referred to in Romans 1 is different, it is the wrath of abandonment. …This type of judgment is, per the text: Romans 1:18 But God shows his anger from heaven against all sinful, wicked people who suppress the truth by their wickedness. …When man abandons God as revealed in creation, in conscience, in holy scripture; suppressing the truth, God judges that society. Even though that society considers themselves to be wise, that society is the ultimate ship of fools….
This post contains two very short videos, the first is a song about BLM; the second, a one-minute statement confronting Cultural Marxism with Christian truth. These videos came from Dr. Voddie Baucham’s YouTube site, Wrath and Grace. The song is by Hip Hop artist, Timothy Brindle who is also a pastor. The Christian doctrine in his music is always thoroughly biblical. His other music contains themes that remind me of John Newton’s hymns.
