Random Good Articles

The articles linked to below are good for educating yourself on the various issues so as to be able to intelligently discuss them with others. You’ll notice the majority have to do with the Roman Catholic faith, demonstrating the unbiblical nature of some of their doctrines.

How to choose worship songs.

How We Approach Difficult Passages in Scripture.

10 signs of a cultic church. I may have posted this last year, but there’s no reason why the warning can’t be repeated!

Who Is the God of Mormonism?

Scripture is to be believed over tradition and church councils.

Do we need Church authority to properly interpret Scripture? Absolutely NOT!

Is confession of sins to a priest biblical? Absolutely not.

What is Lent?

Give up Lent for Lent. Quit doing Romanist works.

An excellent collection of citations from early Church “Fathers” which demonstrates that the Papist dogma of transubstantiation was never even thought of until a corrupt human organization invented it. Then there is this follow-up article.

Purgatory—A Place of Torment for Dying Catholics to Anticipate.

Examining the Roman Catholic Priesthood. It really is no more biblical than the Mormon priesthood.

Random Things Needing Discernment

Eight signs that your church is becoming a dictatorship.

Rick Warren’s wife Kay is now professing to have a vision from God. She’ll tell you all about it for a fee.

Transubstantiation — what did Jesus really mean?

The Shack. Book, now a movie, is about as heretical of a story as you can get. I know the video is long, but very educational and eye-opening about how garbage like this spreads. (Incidentally, Kent Hovind, a KJVO creationist teacher, promotes this heresy; Hovind is one I’ve long said was a bad teacher, and this proves it.)

Watchman Fellowship profile on The Shack demonstrates why the book and movie are theologically problematic.

Another excellent examination of The Shack. It’s a 55 minute sermon, but well worth it. H/T to Mary Dalke

Doing missions without the gospel?!?

More evidence proving Jennifer LeClaire is a horridly false teacher — and what a totally unbiblical mess is Charisma Magazine!

The corruption of Christianity.

A cornucopia of Beth Moore’s false teachings. I love it when people put all this stuff in one place. The sad thing is that she’s coming to Cedar Rapids and many local churches are advertising for her! No discernment at all in the leadership of these places.

Wow - Clayton Jennings’ victims are being blackmailed and threatened!

Be very careful about getting any theological teachings from celebrities such as Tim Tebow. Like Tim, these celebrities usually have no discernment and no concern for protecting the flock.

Which Jesus does your Roman Catholic friend believe in?

Why you shouldn’t observe Lent.

The very sad state of so many churches out there today; it is no longer about Christ.

An atheist saw my article about Ravi Zacharias and emailed me about my concern. This man has also been concerned about Ravi, but his concern is with Ravi’s credential claims. He has a site dedicated to exposing false claims by Ravi; I reviewed his material and I have grave concerns over what he has exposed. Ravi isn’t the first popular teacher to embellish his credentials, but it is really sad to see that he has done this. For all his good teachings, I can’t see recommending him or his ministry as long as they don’t come totally clean; if you can’t trust him in such actions, how can you trust anything he says?

Some very good reasons to avoid any teaching by Sam Storms.

And lastly, Megachurch Stage Collapses Under Pastor’s Massive Ego.
