“Brethren, let us cut out of our sermons everything that takes men’s minds away from the cross. One look at Jesus is better than the most attentive gazing at our gems of speech. Christ must ever be in the foreground, and our sermons must point to him, or they will do more harm than good.…

Psalm 22, written by King David nearly 1,000 years before Jesus’s crucifixion in AD 30 or 33, was penned 300 years before crucifixion was even invented! And Isaiah 53 (The Suffering Servant) was drafted 700 years beforehand! Why does this matter? How could we recognize our Savior without evidence to back up His claims (Mt…

You and I are not the Christ. Even John the Baptist, whom Jesus said, “among those born of women no one greater than John the Baptist has appeared,” proclaimed that he was not the Christ (Matthew 11:11; Jn 1:19-20). The scriptures demonstrate that Jesus was/is both fully God, and fully human. Why is this so…

What or who is the #Trinity? Dr. James White, author of “The Forgotten Trinity as well as director of Alpha and Omega Ministries, explains that “The doctrine of the Trinity is simply that there is one eternal being of God – indivisible, infinite. This one being of God is shared by three co-equal, co-eternal persons,…

Link to article (here). Seminary professor and author, Dr. Douglas Groothuis: “Not all who speak of ‘Christ’ mean the Jesus Christ of Scripture, the true Lord and Savior of the universe. Jesus Himself warned us of imposters who would rise after His departure. ‘At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the…

An example of Rohr’s theology is shared here (screenshot), from an interview with Richard Rohr in 2019. It is located on his CAC website. The highlighted portion is where Rohr expounds upon his teaching of what he calls the “True/Authentic Self,” which in Rohr’s theology is “the Christ.” He teaches that we all are the…

Before reading this post, please know that Rohr does NOT hold to the core Christian teachings as detailed in Scripture regarding God’s nature, Jesus as God the Son, sin, and salvation. While he quotes Scripture and uses Christian verbiage, these terms are defined differently by Rohr. For more information about Rohr, please watch this video…

Honest question: If restaurants & grocery stores recall food for the possibility of food poisoning, why don’t Christian publishers humbly recall books they’ve printed which promote poisonous teaching contrary to historic, biblical Christianity? 📙For example, why would two respected Christian publishing companies (Zondervan and IVP) choose to print literature promoting verifiably non-Christian programming? Given that…

“My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?Why are you so far from saving me, from the words of my groaning?” (Psalm 22:1) Sisters, this song sung by God’s people praises God for the vindication of the innocent sufferer. When Jesus was hanging upon the cross in A.D. 30 or 33, He quoted the…

When you’re playing a board game with your family or friends, and you have a question about the game, what do you do? Let’s also hypothesize that during an Indianapolis Colts football game, a member of the opposing team decides to dribble the football down the field like a soccer ball. In these two instances,…

This 8-minute video is an impactful example of what happens when fear keeps us from sharing the complete truth with others. How can others know the Good News until they understand WHY it’s good news! For there to be good news, there must be bad news. Pragmatism (subjective helpfulness) should never override a biblical worldview…
