Now more than ever, authentic Christians need to step up to the plate and understand that we have a job to do. That job is outlined in Matthew 28’s the Great Commission. In this day and during this time, people are really hurting. They are extremely fearful. Many are taking their own lives. These times and days should imprint on our minds the absolutely need to be faithful in telling people about the hope that we have in Jesus! There can be no exceptions.
False Teachers and Prophets, Part 6
So those within the Word of Faith movement have their idea about how to get God working for you (they call that His “revealed will”), but the Bible seems to say something completely different and this difference is proven by the lifestyle of Jesus Himself. Remember, Jesus had no place to lay His head, meaning He had no permanent home (Luke 9:58).

Contemplative Prayer is no different from mystical experiences in general. Those involved in Contemplative Prayer often use the rituals found within Roman Catholicism or New Age meditation. The bottom line is that these things are purely subjective, determined to be “truth” or “error” based solely on how the person feels about what they are experiencing. It is extremely dangerous.
Technocracy: China’s Pollution
The answer as to who benefits from all this points to those who have converted China into their own playground or laboratory. There, they can do what they want to do and not be concerned about how much pollution – air, water, or soil – is created. They can build factories and labs that allow them to do whatever they can envision.

Pelagianism, inclusivism and Limited Theism are three errors that continue within Christendom. Even though I’ve only mentioned three people who believe in one or more of those things, there are many others. Discernment is needed by Christians instead of simply following after these people whole heartedly.

My suggestion if it holds any merit for you is this: do not become emotionally involved in what’s happening now. Put your eyes on Jesus and trust Him to accomplish what He has determined He will accomplish. As for me and my wife, we do not wear masks, we do not worry about CV-19. We are not going to be emotionally captured and held prisoner by either political party or the antics that continue to happen in DC. It’s ridiculous, time-consuming, and seriously not beneficial for us.
Psalm 37: Delight Yourself in the Lord
In essence, we are to live the Christian life whether we feel like it or not, or whether it’s convenient or not. I just read about two Christian pastors in Iran who have been sentenced to death because they refused to convert to Islam. For them, they cannot recant Jesus. They cannot turn their backs on God because they know the truth. They have no other choice and God is in control of their lives. God will also bless them mightily even if that means they are put to death as martyrs for refusing to deny Jesus.

Pray fervently, dedicating yourself to asking the Lord to intervene. If He does not, then clearly the government will seek to gain more power over the people, which will impact our lives by infringing on our rights as guaranteed by the Constitution. Moreover, if the violence continues, more people will be harmed.
Psalm 37: Do Not Fret
A green herb refers to a healthy, growing herb, one that is useful for seasoning food. My wife has several potted herb plants on our front porch. Every once in a while, as she’s cooking, she’ll go out front with her cooking scissors and cut off a small section of one of the herbs, which she then adds to the dish she’s making.

But before I get into anymore examples of people alive today and who might be guilty of teaching heresy, I’d like to go back to someone who many continue to revere as a great man, a wonderful preacher and a fantastic Bible expositor and evangelist. This one man has done quite a bit of damage and it was during the 1800’s that he lived. The problem is that people during my lifetime, some of whom are still alive, lionize that man, in spite of the fact that his theology was literally perverse and his methods of soul-winning were not based in Scripture, but on humanistic philosophy. This particular person was pivotal in modern church history, unfortunately.
