    Pseudo-Science Vs. Sanctification

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Feb 23, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,622 views

    The Bible implores every Christian to “live by the Spirit” (Gal 5:16 NIV). This is no easy task and requires full submission to God of every minute detail of one’s life. Through the centuries church leaders have used numerous ways to motivate and encourage people to live and walk in the Spirit.

    Some of the most recent human-made ideas to help bring about “spiritual” living, and help Christians better understand themselves - as well as others - to live in unity and purpose together, is the use of personality tests and gift assessments. Psychological job placement and career tests are used ...read more

    Not every person that carries a Bible and talks about Jesus is a true teacher of God’s Word. Paul warned that false teachers will appear as the apostles of Christ and angels of light. So how do you detect spiritual imposters.

    How to Detect Spiritual Imposters 1 Timothy 4:1-5 Introduction: 1. There is a sobering passage in Matthew 7, straight from the lips of Jesus Christ. It has to do with the subject of spiritual imposters. vs. 21-23 2. Things don’t always appear as they seem on the surface. This is very true ...read more

    "hate Speech" According To Jesus: A Refresher Course

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 5, 2022
     | 1,915 views

    The Lord Jesus warned His disciples that they would be hated for telling the truth about sin, spiritual death, and the need for redemption found only in Him (John 14:6; Acts 4:12). This message is still hated by the world today. Some things never change.

    I want to begin with defining a term describing the attempts of Christians who, no matter how well-meaning their intentions, somehow believe that they can make friends with a worldview that hates them no matter what they do, say, or imitate. They bend over backwards trying to "fit in" ...read more
