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 Time!

Fables.


If Jesus is the Word, Does That Mean the Bible Isn’t?


What About Abortion in the Case of Rape?


Sexual Immorality. Yes, it is a gross sin regardless of the sexual anarchy preached by the world.


The LCMS has gone rogue!!!!  I find this to be very surprising and disappointing.


The most comfortable Bible You’ll Ever Own


Eastern Orthodox Distinctives.  I also posted an article on the E.O. in 2010.


Tell me again how The Chosen is worth it! It is blasphemous false teaching introducing viewers into all sorts of evil.


Freedom vs Coercion – Will the True Cult Stand Up?


The Pope, who claims to speak for God, is a believer (from LEFTIST propaganda) in man-caused climate change and if you don’t believe in it, then you are stupid. There is NO compelling evidence that mankind can do anything about the climate.


The United Methodist Church has quit vacillating about homosexuality and have decided it is 100% okay with God.


Cru (aka Campus Crusade for Christ) has decided to go full UMC with homosexuality.


Kip McKean, once a founder of International Churches of Christ cult, the part of the International Christian Movement churches, has another “spiritual faltering.”


The New Apostolic Reformation transition of power.


AAANNNDDD, Beth Moore has absolutely no discernment because she is a false teacher.

More Odds and Ends

A good exegetical analysis of Hebrews vs Roman Catholic Eucharist Theology.  Part 1, part 2 and part 3.

Do not take Scripture out of context, nor allow anyone else to do so.


A Biblical Understanding of Race.


Should those teaching false doctrine be contacted before the saints can be warned? (Matthew 18:15). NO.


How Do We Explain the Depraved Thinking in Our Nation? Excellent commentary.


A good apologetic examination of someone’s attack on Scripture.


The Lutheran Church (LCMS) is courting apostasy.


Purgatory: The First of Many Reasons Why I Could Never Be Catholic


A Response to Shiny Happy People. This is in reference to Amazon Prime Video’s series on the Dugger Family. Some interesting thoughts about the situation, IBLP and Bill Gothard.


Regardless of what your church or books you read tell you, there are no more apostles! They existed only in the 1st century.


Why Hymns Matter.


A good apologetic for a culture wrapped up in sexual identity.


The Bible and Homosexuality. An excellent 6 1/2-minute video.


Creation care?


If your church is movie time, flee it. Here’s another example.


To Flee or Not to Flee: Is it Biblical to Flee Blue States?  Yes it is.


When you compromise Genesis, you can decide homosexuality is okay.


More problems with The Gospel Coalition.


The greed fostered by this “church” is unreal; it makes God into a puppet who can be controlled by how much money you donate!. To begin with, Christians do not tithe!!! That was an O.T. rule for Israel only, and it wasn’t just on income. Churches who use the word “tithe” instead of “gifts” or “offerings” (e.g.) are helping to foster this nonsense. 


And Satan laughs.

Random Apostasies and Heresies


Mormons have always made a big deal about their church leaders not being paid, while the rest of “Christendom” has paid pastors/minister.  It has at times been a point of bragging in many things I’ve read.  Well, it’s interesting that they make these claims when their leaders have lots of income, and it’s probably a lot more than most pastors receive when in their pay.  Take a look at this article and see just how much LDS leadership isn’t paid.

More on the story about John Mark Comer’s teaching on polytheism is brought to you by Apprising Ministries.  It just keeps getting thicker.

Some interesting things about Mark Driscoll and how he views heretics like Joel Osteen - he thinks there are worse things than what Osteen teaches, and so we shouldn’t be giving Osteen’s teaching so much attention.

The “Insider Movement” is another of those recent innovations which compromises the Gospel in an effort to win over unbelievers in various pagan religions.  Kevin DeYoung examines a recent Christianity Today interview of a missionary operating within the Insider Movement to appeal to Muslims.

In Texas it looks like an Episcopal Church assembly will be the first in that state to perform same-sex fake marriage rites.  Of course we all know that there will be no church discipline, because the Episcopal Church as a denomination is apostate and long ago gave sanction to same-sex unions, as well as homosexuality in general.

The Lutheran Church, Missouri Synod, takes care of their in-house discipline.  It seems one of their pastors joined in with an ecumenical prayer vigil in Newtown, CT after the murders of the school children.  Representatives of Muslim, Jewish and Bahai religious faiths were there.  A Christian pastor (let alone a layman) should know better than to join in prayer with unbelievers, who are praying to a false god.  The pastor issued an apology.

I came across this interesting article explaining how church denominations end up endorsing homosexuality.  This is the future of the apostate Church.

How about the latest Roman Catholic idol?  The world’s largest statue of “Mary” has been unveiled in Bolivia.

Here is some humor, which is actually quite true, about “How to write a worship song (in 5 minutes or less).”
