These are some helpful resources for Pastors Help for Pastors  (podcast for all to hear) The Resilient Pastor   (book) 🌟 Accountability form  If you need an accountability partner in the faith, find a mature believer (very mature congregant, a decon or have your church pastors be accountability partners together) who is not judgmental, is full of grace, and a person of confidentiality whom you can trust. You cannot do this alone. 4,000 Pastors leave the ministry each year, some because they are burnt out. The latest Church and the Bible and State of the Church research shows 😔only 37% of pastors today hold to a biblical worldview, (63% do not)... and that is shocking. The inerrancy and authority of Scripture, the importance of the Word (the special revelation that God has given us) is at stake. And the faith of and what the congregation learns & believes under the pastors leadership (as their shepherd and guide) shows it is a serious and important role they hol...

Poison & Snakes That was a section not included in earlier manuscripts of Scripture and appears to have been added by a scribe either through being passed down orally or some belief some sects had and was added to the Bible when it shouldnt be there. Most versions today removed it or added a note about it.  Note on this and earliest manuscripts  here In general that would never be taken as an dare or command to poison oneself, and anyone doing so is not right in the head.  God is not in the business of trying to murder people, that is from Satan, as is op twisted message. Plus Mark originally ended at verse 8, so you are adding to Scripture, and twisting it for evil purposes. In Matthew 5:21-22, Jesus says, "You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘You shall not murder, and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.’ But I tell you that anyone who is angry with a brother or sister will be subject to judgment. 1 John 3:15. Anyone who hates a br...

A: The verse is very clear.  Scripture speaks of slavery and it is a good thing. It was like employment in OT, unless they were captured from conquering other countries and allowed to be slaves vs die; depending in God's judgment on them. Scripture speaks of humans in slave terms and says we are either slaves to sin and Satan or slaves to righteousness and Christ. We cant serve two masters, but we are owned by one of them either way.  Scripture has nothing to do with illegally sold human trafficing chattel slavery which is what happened back when Africans both kidnapped or sold their troublemaker people to UK and of whom some ended up in America, and many more who went to Arab countries (which still happens today). Or the slavery or kidnapped women and children who are sold into sex trafficing, still happening today globally. That is condemned in Exodus 21:16.  In OT a slave was a person who works for you to pay off a debt. Today we are “slaves” to our employe...

In 2018 GQ magazine (Gentlemen’s quarterly) had foolishly put the Bible on the list of classic books (not) worth reading. Their article said the Bible is “repetitive, self-contradictory, sententious, foolish, and even at times ill-intentioned.”  They could not be more wrong. God’s word tells us of problems w/unbelievers: Scripture/God’s word explains the warped mindset GQ allowed to publish : “But a natural man (does not accept) the things of the Spirit of God, for they (are foolishness to him), and (he cannot understand them), because they… are (spiritually appraised).  (1 Corinthians 2:14) “natural man” (or natural person). This refers to the unconverted, (unsaved) who lack supernatural life and wisdom.  “spiritually appraised” (or spiritually discerned). Through illumination of the word, the Holy Spirit provides (His saints, i.e. Christians) the capacity… to discern divine truth (see Ps. 119:18), which the spiritually dead are unable to comprehend (cf. John 5:37–39; se...

Q: Is Marriage is pointless today? A: 🤷‍♀️only if the couple is unsaved. If you are born again, you live joyfully and with purpose in covenantal love. And if it is irrelevant whether the men are lonely, married, single, etc. The foundational issue is that the women in certian countries culture provide that prostitutional service are selling themselves and degrading themselves and all other women, and if men can get free milk from a cow without legally owning it, and that culture celebrates it, then these will always be issues. Pagan cultures full of depravity will always gravitate to lust & sexual sins, and now we see an explosion of various perversions.  The only way it will change is not by law [because these folk would still do these deeds in darkness just like gay people did since 1700s till 2005],  but it can only change one by one person by person by each one being born again by God. Only a radical transformation by God in giving a new righteous nature where one h...

These are blessings God gives us and are useful for many reasons and purposes, but it is not a replacement for being a active member in your local biblical Church.  The Church's purpose on earth We cannot put out trust and full stock in man, we only look to God . Dont forget that.  The internet and radio resources are to be used in addition to your learning at your local church, as a supplement to not a alternate from.  Even if theres only 1 locally decent church in your greater area (100 miles), and theres not really good preaching and teaching there (wishy washy not heretical), you still need to be a part of the local congregation of Christ's redeemed. There are many reasons church matters .  Theres a lot of  good solid biblical  content out there, but theres a lot more false teachers, false preachers and heresies you can be subtly sucked into unaware.  Study the Bible daily and well so you can avoid the deception that is in the world, in...

Ex Charismatic and Prosperity Testimonies While many today are being sucked into cults and false teachings from tv, youtube content and by door knockers as well as neighbors and coworkers, those not saved will prefer "ear ticklers" telling them of things they desire [in their sin lusts], and those who are saved or will be saved who got sucked into it like Mormon and JW cults will be led out by God to real biblical churches.  So pray for those you know who are trapped in false teachings. And get educated on it well so you can help get them out of it, and help others too.  People do get saved out of it, because God is a God who saves.  Testimonies:  Sandy Y- Facebook If he's one of God's elect, God will bring him out and into truth.

Why isnt God doing anything? Why has God let this happen to me? I was watching a kdrama and occassionally there is a decent one that has Christianity in it, which also in general reminds and points people about God. This one show had a church and cross theme and they posted John 3:16 on the screen 3 or 4 times: FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTON SON THAT WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT PERISH BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE.  There was talk of God being dead because they couldnt comprehend why he allows bad things to happen. In another segment there is a revelation when a meeting between 2 people happens, and almost word for word he said this: I have been only angry about what had happened to me. Every night i was in torment and pain because I was so angry and distraught. I thought " Why is God so cruel to me who has not done anything wrong? " I resented God and cursed at him.  When I found out today that others have been hurting all this time because o...

What should we think about the new rise of AI usage these days?  Gptchat dataset thru Sept 2021 data dump data set has a liberal bias. There's progressives using gptchat to ask Jesus what he would say if he embraced lbgt+, and related posts going around based on that, theres fake twitter accounts to Ask God questions, not run by God, where people can ask other fallen people who run the page,  and now this new one... The only way it would change is if Ai thought for itself and looked at all the data available across human history. If it did, it would return that God exist, YHWH is God, Jesus is the Savior, and it would return answers that non Christians will hate and grit their teeth over, just as they do with this  truth given to them now.   They'd rather interact with a false god than The God. Nothing new. It is called idolatry and rebellion 🤷‍♀️. They're just looking for something to agree with their sin nature and sins they love the most. They a...

Looking at what God has revealed...  "..And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper, being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice; they are gossips, slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, without understanding, untrustworthy, unloving, unmerciful; and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them." Romans 1:28-32  There are six things the Lord hates, seven that are detestable to him:  haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil,  a false witness who pours out lies and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.  ...

Lesson on Lies Believers are the bride are the Church and of the local Church. She is to be pure and holy.  One lie caused God to kill 2 Christians in front of the church, and great fear came over the whole church. We cannot lie. God is serious about lies. He wants his church purified. Judgment begins at the house of God.  In Revelation 1-3 John saw the Lord moving among the Church, his eyes were finding sin, and he was stamping out sin by judgment in the church wherever it is found. Jesus says to the Churches: "Repent or I will come quickly and make war against them [the churches] with the sword of my mouth." "I gave her time to repent of her immorality but she wont, so I will throw her on a bed of sickness and those who joined with her into great tribulation unless they repent of their deeds. I search the mind and hearts and will judge your sins." Jesus said, "Therefore if you do not wake up I will quickly come to you like a thief." And, "Those whom...
