Delusions That Defy Common Sense

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jun 16, 2021

The world system and all who live by it apart are deluded by both the devil and their own depraved minds. They believe they have everything figured out and can live without the intervention of God Almighty. Scripture proves otherwise.

The time comes for everyone to grow up and realize that the world and all you know does ...read more

IT’s TRUE: We MUST keep the main thing the main thing. Walking humbly before God in contrition of heart over our sins and that of our nation ought to be one of these main things. Or else we get caught up in hyper grace, knowing truth but never being set free.

Contributed by Brett Crosson on May 1, 2019

We live in a time where a lot of the western church is caught up in the hyper grace movement that condones sin and sells salvation wrapped up in sensuality and stickers of liberty. But God wants true freedom in his house and a hungering after righteousness again.
