The book of 1 John ends with this verse: “Little children, keep yourselves from idols.” We read this and think that we don’t have idols. We no longer are like those cultures in the past who made idols and worshipped them. But guess what? We are like them. We just have different idols. Anything we put before God, we are idolizing and essentially saying that we don’t trust God. Putting idols in our lives steals our joy. It’s easy to…
Years ago, I attended a conference on Daniel taught by Beth Moore at a local church. It was fantastic theatrics, and she spoke about visions she saw. I was not impressed at all and thought how inferior the many women in the audience must be feeling, since they don’t have these awesome visions from God like she does. In the Old Testament, God gave visions to the Prophets. In the New Testament, He gave visions to the Apostles, but even…
Just as I will never support anything having to do with feminism, I will never support anything to do with environmentalism. Does this mean I don’t care about the environment? No, I do care, but there’s not much I can do on a global level. We must remind ourselves to accept the things we cannot change. This is one of them. We can’t stop women from taking birth control pills that are contaminating the waterways with their urine. We can’t…
? Written by @bernadinebluntly on Instagram ? You’ve been lied to. ? The future is not female. Men are not oppressors. The patriarchy is not the ultimate evil. Marriage is not a trap. ? Submission is not abuse. Children are not the death of you. Abortion is not “healthcare.” Doing “whatever you want” is not freedom. Sex is never casual (never). And gender is not fluid. ? Traditional values are not outdated. Progressivism is not progress. Gender roles are not…
Voddie Baucham’s new book “Fault Lines” was being reviewed on Twitter, and I liked what I saw, so I bought it. He began the book by sharing of his upbringing. He was raised by a single mother in a place filled with crime and gangs in Los Angeles. He eventually wound up in Texas and came to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. Once married and with children, he moved to Africa to explore his roots. Here’s an excerpt that…
“Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully” (2 Corinthians 4:1,2). Many handle the word of God deceitfully. I teach women to be modest as God commands. “In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array” (1 Timothy…
Written By Ken Alexander Anxiety and panic attacks are awful and debilitating. I thank God that although I have had great stress and anxiety, He helped me cure most of it about 15 years ago. As I look back on my life, I see so many ways that God has led me. Even as I feel I am in control and moving myself forward with my own plans, yet God is working through my life and circumstances to grow me…
Preached By Justin Peters at Grace Community Church Hearing from Heaven. Hearing from Heaven. How does God speak to us today? Undoubtedly, you have heard people say this: “Well, God has spoken to me and He’s told me that you are to do such and such. Pastor, God has spoken to me and He’s told me to tell you that our church needs to go this direction.” And it is just ubiquitous out there in the evangelical world – whatever…
For the past 17 years, I have only used the KJV. At first it was a bit difficult to understand, but now it’s easy. I love it! Did you know that the word “homosexual” isn’t in the KJV nor in the 1828 Webster’s Dictionary? The term “homosexual” and “heterosexual” were created by a man in 1869: “Kertbeny’s role in fighting for gay rights is rarely mentioned. His one lasting legacy was that he was the man who invented homosexuality, or…
Written By Michael and Debi Pearl Fifty years ago when Mike and I first started teaching our children at home (illegal at the time), we met with resistance from friends, family, and later from the authorities. The primary objection of the professional class was best summed up by a midwestern judge who said, “We cannot allow children to be schooled in the home, for they will not fit into the modern world order.” Public school is all about constrained conformity….
