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

"He Get's Us"?!?

I never watch sports on TV—don’t watch much TV period. I couldn’t care less about sports so I missed seeing the commercials. I guess something pretending to be Christian was advertised and it’s all over the conservative news. For those who aren’t discerning enough to see problems with the ads, this is my warning to wake up and smell the coffee!

He Gets Us advertisements. Just more lies about Jesus and more compromising with the LGBTQ+ agenda.


7 Problems with the He Gets Us Campaign


“He Gets Us” Ad Sponsors Don’t Believe in the Jesus they’re selling.



Robert Gagnon has a good, short commentary:

Regarding the "He Gets Us" Superbowl ad: I thought that it was not Jesus who washed the sinful woman's feet, but the sinful woman who washed Jesus' feet with her tears and wiped his feet with her hair, out of gratitude for Jesus forgiving her sin-debt as an outcome of her repentance and embrace of the gospel (Luke -50). 


Jesus washed his disciples' feet, not the feet of those who did not follow him, as a sign both of his washing away their sins by his atoning death and of their need to serve one another (John 13:1-17). Yes, Jesus washed even Judas' feet, but even he had committed to follow Jesus, though obviously now fallen.


We have no evidence that Jesus went around washing the feet of non-followers. He went around proclaiming, "The opportune time has been fulfilled and the Kingdom of God has come near: Repent and believe in the gospel" (Mark 1:15). His ultimate act of service was going to the cross to make amends for the sin of the world, so that those who repented of their sins and came to believe in him might have life.


Preaching repentance of sins and faith in the gospel for the forgiveness of sins, a staple of the ministry of John the Baptizer, Jesus of Nazareth, Peter, Paul, John, and the rest of the early church is not a message of "hate," but rather a message of love and service. 


"Progressive Christianity" sometimes gets this when it comes to so-called "right-wing" sins (e.g., racism, economic exploitation, xenophobia), but not so much when it comes to "left-wing" sins (abortion, "LGBTQ" immorality, violent protest).

Samuel Sey gets it. If this Oprahfied Jesus was so nice, how did He get crucified?
