Should We Rebuke the Devil?

Should We Rebuke the Devil?

In the movie The War Room, Priscilla Shrier plays a wife who at one point “rebukes the devil” by screaming at him and telling him that he is to leave their home and stop destroying their family. This seems to be a common practice today among women especially. They falsely believe that it is their job to speak to the Devil and tell him to flee. Is this biblical? For one thing, demons don’t live in homes or inanimate objects….

The Path to a Weak and Sinful Church

The Path to a Weak and Sinful Church

Most Christians are afraid to rebuke other Christians who are in sin. Most Christians hate being rebuked by others if they are in sin, therefore, there’s not much rebuking going on and many Christians who are in sin refuse to listen to rebukes. This is NOT how the Church of the Living God is supposed to operate. Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee (Proverbs 9:8). A wise person takes…

I Don’t Judge Women. Truth Judges Them.

I Don’t Judge Women. Truth Judges Them.

In our devotions the other day, we read these verses: “But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believes not, or one unlearned, he is convinced of all, HE IS JUDGED OF ALL: And thus are the secrets of his heart made manifest; and so falling down on his face he will worship God, and report that God is in you of a truth” (1 Corinthians 14:24, 25). What does prophesy mean? We are given the answer in…

The Old Paths are Best!

The Old Paths are Best!

Written By a Retired Minister in Tennessee I like the old paths… Moms were at home, dads were at work, Brothers went into the army and sisters got married BEFORE having children! Crime did not pay; hard work did And people knew the difference. Moms could cook, dads would work, And children behaved. Husbands were loving, wives were supportive And children were polite. Women wore the jewelry and men wore the pants. Women looked like ladies, men looked like gentlemen…

Making Women Feel Horrible

Making Women Feel Horrible

A woman commented on Ben Shapiro’s post about Matt Walsh writing and speaking too much about Jesus,“I love this! One thing I don’t understand is how can you be a Democrat and a Christian? Pro-choice, marriage equality, anti-gun (we have a right to defend ourselves). I’m not saying I’m against marriage equality because it’s not my place to judge. But I don’t go around promoting it.” Is it not our place to judge? How can we rebuke, exhort, and speak…

Choose Your Redeemer in Your Suffering

Choose Your Redeemer in Your Suffering

Bad things happen in this life. Evil things happen. Many question the goodness of God because of these things. Babies are diagnosed with leukemia. Women who want so badly to have children are infertile. A diagnosis of cancer shortens a life. Where is God in all of this and how should we respond in and through our sufferings? In a book called The Made From Scratch Life by Melissa Norris, Melissa tells of a time when she lost a baby…

Frying Our Brains

Frying Our Brains

From David Murray on Revive Our Hearts Radio Well, I’ll sum it up very briefly . . . it (technology) is killing us.I can expand on that if you want. I love technology–I’m a technophile–I just love it! But, and it’s not just Christians saying this, it’s a very broad range of secular opinion, from a sociological viewpoint, educational viewpoint, health viewpoint. We’re seeing, increasingly, the digital revolution is changing us in detrimental ways. It’s damaging us, and I think…

Following Our Heart and Feelings

Following Our Heart and Feelings

“It always gets me when people talk about ‘listening to your heart’ or ‘following your heart.’ Jesus didn’t say, ‘Lay down your life, take up your cross, and follow your heart.’ In fact, the Lord said quite the opposite. ‘The heart is more deceitful than all else and is desperately sick; who can understand it?’ Christians should not follow their hearts, but the Word. We live in a time where people are more concerned with living by their feelings than…
