This post aims at supporting the last post, which was about false prosperity preacher Andrew Wommack. Got Questions Ministries provides a very brief biblical perspective on the seven-mountain mandate and those who hold that man-centered doctrine.
Sheeplywolves — Mat 7:15 “Beware of false prophets who come disguised as harmless sheep but are really vicious wolves.
Mat 7:14 But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it.
Truth & Liberty Coalition expands culture war to 30 Colorado school boards – RNS
This post contains a RNS article about false prosperity preacher Andrew Wommack and a movement initiated by him. His movement is confronting real problems that are occurring in schools and elsewhere. My purpose is to alert Christians to the fact that he is a counterfeit preacher and his doctrines are NOT biblical. The Christ he preaches is not the Christ of the Bible. He is bringing reproach on the name of Christ, and if you affiliate yourself with him, you will also be doing that. The ‘hot-button’ issues identified in the article are real and need dealt with by Christians and conservatives. Curtis Bowers of Agenda Weekly, for example, is a true Christian who offers ways to deal with these issues in the name of the Christ of the Bible.

Israel and the Church, Part 2, The Temple
This post contains Pastor Ramsey’s sermon on the temple; it is part two of a three-part series on Israel and the Church. Scriptures from the Old and New Testaments were used to explain God’s covenantal goals and purposes; the role of the temple is explained in terms of how it facilitated the accomplishment of God’s goals. Furthermore, the real temple is identified via many scriptures. It is not what the dispensationalists have taught; or what the typical prophecy buff anticipates.

The Curse Motif of the Atonement – R C Sproul
R C’s sermon carefully explained The Day of Atonement; covenant blessings and curses; propitiation; expiation; the cross; imputation; substitution… the foundation stones of the gospel. If you desire to know the biblical gospel message; bolster your own gratitude to the Lord; draw nearer to Him by possessing greater knowledge of Him…, then this sermon can benefit you. If you have been in a false church, this sermon will help you specifically understand what is false about it.
O Sacred Head Now Wounded – Ginger Millermon – Lyrics
I found the following song while I was searching the video page of a new YouTube site, StrangeLyrics. I was deeply moved by the lyrics, vocals and guitar; this is a wonderful song for preparing one’s heart to pray and read God’s word. The site has over 350 videos seemingly consisting of hymns and contemporary Christian music. If you like to sing along with Christian music, check out the site.
‘The Golden Cup In The Lord’s Hand’ – Commentary explanation
This post contains excerpts from two Bible commentators on Jeremiah 51:7 Babylon was a golden cup in the LORD’s hand, making all the earth drunken…. The purpose is to explain the metaphor, ‘golden cup,’ and ‘cup’ as these are used in scriptures. Notes from Joseph Benson and John Calvin are excerpted to explain those terms.
Israel and the Church
Pastor Ramsey is preaching about Israel and the church to help people think biblically (covenant theology) about modern Israel and the church. He is not addressing current problems in the holy land. This sermon is part one of three, he titled it ‘Israel.’ The next sermons will be, ‘the temple,’ and ‘the land.’ Highlight points are provided and a link to Pastor Ramsey’s Sermon Audio site.
