The Christian’s incredible capacity to accept false assurance
In light of what the New Testament says, so many Christians fall woefully short of God’s will for them, yet may think all is fine. It is possible for a Christian to think that all is well when nothing is as it should be. It is possible to be so sure that one will correct or call out other Christians they perceive are in sin or error, and yet they themselves are blind to many errors, or sins, or hold lies as truth mixed in with their overall understanding of the faith. The proof of these statements come from Jesus Christ. He said test by fruit. We are told to…

Do you really love Jesus Christ? – Sermon audio
Jesus said a Christian’s love is proven by our responses to what He says. In America, the gospel is taught in more flavors than Baskin Robbins ice cream.

Disturbing parallels between post-apostolic Christianity and the unfaithful and faltering Old Testament Jews
If a testament were written beyond the New Testament chronicling “the church” since 100 AD, numerous unsettling parallels could be drawn between those who named Christ and the disobedient and unfaithful Old Covenant Jews. It is said hindsight is 20-20. And, it is historic fact that despite advantages over the Old Covenant granted by God and claimed in the post-apostolic age for the past 1900 years, many who called themselves Christ’s representatives failed to live up to God’s expectations in significant ways just as did the Jews. This article will show the root common denominator between failures in the Old Covenant era and New Covenant era, but first some qualifiers…
