6 In this you greatly rejoice, for a little while now, if it is necessary, having been grieved by various trials, 7 that the tested genuineness of you faith—infinitely more valuable than gold that perishes even though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 1 Peter 1:6.7 (translated from the NA28 Greek text to English)
There are some who insist that the doctrine of imputation will create antinomianism because we will not “work out our salvation,” since we have been declared righteous, we can live any way we want. However, that “charge” is unbiblical for another very large and important doctrine, the doctrine of regeneration…. Continue reading
“So, IS the Holy Spirit whispering to us? Must we sit, or be still, or listen hard, or stay close, or press scars, or DO any other particular thing in order to receive this revelation all the other women seem to be receiving?”
(Robert A.J. Gagnon – Facebook post) Alan Chambers, former head of Exodus International, at the time the largest evangelical Christian ministry for helping same-sex attracted persons to live in obedience to the will of God, solicited a sexual relationship from what he thought was a 14-year old male but actually was an undercover detective. I’ll get to the details in a moment.
“It means some justice for the Cuban people. For 67 years, we have been ignored by everybody — the United Nations, the Organization of American States, the European Union, everybody. So, we hope this is the beginning of the downfall of the Castro regime… and we’re ready to go back and help with the reconstruction of our country, with work, with money, with investment, and with love.” Oscar Fernandez
“Notably, the current president of the SBC, Clint Pressley, supports the amendment, as do the two new confirmed presidential nominees, Willy Rice and Josh Powell.”
“The “Harumph!” Republicans in Washington are learning that buddying up to the lunatic Democrats doesn’t have any upside. This isn’t about blindly supporting Trump; it’s about representing their constituents like elected officials in a representative republic are supposed to.”
“This trajectory didn’t just begin yesterday. People who have been paying attention saw this coming a long time ago. We watched Chan rebuke men for evangelizing Roman Catholics. We watched him remove his shoes and sit on stage while Catholic priests prayed over him. We watched him refuse to preach the Gospel clearly to Roman Catholics because he supposedly didn’t feel “led” by the Holy Spirit to do so….”
“We can only be as assertive as we have data to back it. Ask yourself how well you can support your conclusion with actual biblical information. An abundance of evidence leads to strong conclusions; weaker or conflicting evidence encourages us to wait and see.”
Before we get to Potestia’s announcement, you need to know some background on James Robison. According to an article penned by Ken Silva back in 2014 (below) Rev Robison was a rapidly apostatizing charismatic. “It begins with what I covered…in my 2011 article James Robison and Rick Warren Working to Reverse the Protestant Reformation.” Silva revealed that the famed televangelist misled tens of thousands when he said to “Pope” Francis “Let me just say to you that I see Jesus in you; and in Christ we are brothers, we are family. Thank you for speaking the language of love that all may come to know him and love him and love one another.”
“The modern church cannot preach this because the modern church desperately wants to be liked by the very world system God says stands under judgment. So pastors become public relations agents for divine sentimentality. They speak of love detached from holiness. Mercy detached from justice. Grace detached from repentance.”
“Either we continue to get chased out of our own neighborhoods by gangs, fentanyl zombies, and robbed by the city’s corrupt homeless-NGO elite, or we put a stop to it. We either get the tents off our streets, or we never will. We either keep on dying, or we start living.”
“Fetterman wasn’t done. He went a step further and named an actual, self-described communist seeking a Senate seat in Maine. Graham Platner, the presumptive nominee who had an actual Nazi tattoo on his chest until he covered it up for his campaign…”
“We last covered Mark Driscoll in our article Fox News Driscoll, which we catalogued him openly lying to his congregants, and also after we commented on his bizarre porno-visions…”
“What looks from the outside like the charismatic movement holding itself accountable is, on examination, the movement identifying figures who have become liabilities and executing them publicly before their scandals contaminate the broader institution. The theology survives every time.”
“And once that happens, the moral descent is not dramatic at first. It’s weirdly normal. And that’s the creepy part. Everybody keeps mowing their lawns and posting vacation photos while the foundations liquefy beneath their feet.”
“Why, then, do the children of God suffer so greatly in this world? We suffer for the glory of His name. The more impossible the situation, the more clearly God’s grace and power can be seen in us. Although the examples I cited above relate to persecution, this truth applies to every instance of Christian suffering.”
