We who preach the gospel must not think of ourselves as public relations agents sent to establish good will between Christ and the world. We must not imagine ourselves commissioned to make Christ acceptable to big business, the press, the world of sports or modern education. We are not diplomats but prophets, and our message is not a compromise but an ultimatum. A.W. Tozer
Therefore let God-inspired Scripture decide between us; and on whichever side be found doctrines in harmony with the word of God, in favor of that side will be cast the vote of truth. --Basil of Caesarea
Once you learn to discern, there's no going back. You will begin to spot the lie everywhere it appears.

I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, because He considered me faithful, putting me into service. 1 Timothy 1:12

Agglomeration

Here we are again with a collection of links to articles that should be read by those seeking to learn discernment as well as wanting to be aware of how the wolves are eating the sheep.  More sheepdogs are needed!

The Good - For Education and/or Edification
Interesting history about the dating of Christmas.

An interesting series examining the aberrant and often heretical New Apostolic Reformation.  Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3.

Naming Names a New Year Resolution? Nope. Just like Don, I’ve always named names.

HMMMM
Denomination wise, the PCA needs to step in and fix what is happening to their churches.  Discipline them, excommunicate them, but DO SOMETHING!!

More Wolves and False Teachings
Bethel is worse than you could possibly think.  More on them and the dead child.

More proof that the Papist Church is not a church of Christ.

Catholic Charities is an un-Christian “social justice” network helping thousands of illegals get into the USA. I guess Rome has forgotten where the Bible tells us to obey the laws of they land.  But then again they may be just ignoring it so they can enrich themselves.

Then there is the Papist idea of “holy water” being used to sprinkle a whole town! Such superstition causes great harm to the people who believe it.

When it comes to wolves, it is really difficult to keep up with them to expose them. Here’s another one to avoid: Tim Henderson. Portals?!? This guy is a wacky as they come.

Steven Furtick and his “Elevation Church” continue to prove that he is a goat with a goatherd and not a church of Christ.

False teachers get more perverted by the minute. Thaddeus Mathews has his face on women’s underwear.

Democratic candidate Pete Buttigieg demonstrates how politicians can often be dangerous false teachers.  The man claims to be a Christian, but he does not worship the Christ of God of the Bible. (You’ll also notice in the article that a Catholic Cardinal is just as bad with false teachings about Christ.)


Kari Jobe—sigh!

A good article explaining the dangerous false teacher Francis Chan.

Todd Bentley finally judged as not qualified! Discerning people have been saying this for years. And yet false teacher Michael Brown thinks Bentley was “supernaturally gifted by God”!!!!

You mistakenly repeated the Francis Chan link where the Todd Bentley link should be--an error that's easy to make. Now you no longer have the pressure of trying to have a perfect year; ;)

Thanks Jack!

That's been happening to me a lot this week. It's fixed now.

Hi Glenn,

"They" finally figured out Todd Bentley isn't qualified? Hopefully "they" will also finally figure out that he isn't even a believer.

I guess better late than never that they are catching up to those of us who - as you said - discerned this a LONG time ago.

First time I heard of the guy, I saw a report of him kicking someone to "heal" them. I marked him as an "unbeliever" and dismissed him entirely.

Carolyn,

YEP, like you and many others, my first time reading about him I immediately thought "fake" and "demonic."

Glenn,

Yes, "demonic" also crossed my mind.
