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

Racism for Lent?

You can always tell a false church with false teachers when they introduce racism as part of their Lenten celebration.


First United Church of Oak Park, IL, has decided to eliminate any vestige of “whiteness” in order to celebrate a mostly “African” (as if all blacks have African heritage and as if black or “Native American” Christians don’t want anything to do with hymns or liturgy by “whites.”)


But when you look at their web page you will see that the ‘story of Noah is an origin myth” — an origin MYTH?!?  You’ll also see that two women are on their pastoral staff, in violation of the teaching of the Bible. And they support the “LGBTQ community” (We welcome lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people into the full life and ministry of the church, including ordination, expecting and encouraging them to share their talents and gifts in the life, liturgy, leadership, and employment positions of our congregation, as our ministers, teachers, members, visitors, and friends.)


Well, what else can you expect from the apostate United Church of Christ denomination which is also affiliated with the apostate Presbyterian Church (USA) denomination? Both are LEFTIST church groups who long ago left Biblical Christianity behind, so having a racist Lenten celebration is just “par for the course” for them.

I think it is proper to say that there are no real Christians there.
