  • A Four Year Old’s Wisdom on Being Mean | Episode 47 - Are You Listening?




    We Learn What We See!
    When social media theology trolls continue in the manner of cruelty they really are proving themselves evil in the eyes of others. They are also teaching young men aspiring to be "like them" (God have mercy) to act in a wicked manner. The truth is truth and the correction of error needs to be biblical and for the millionth time, let's do it right!

  • Friending for the Funds | Episode 45
    More Money... Money Money...
    Few things are more frustrating than when someone knocks on your door and wants you to donate to some cause that you've never heard of. The same is true with online solicitation.  I'm not talking about general "fundraising" that is public or asking people that you know, like, and who are benefiting from your ministry to help support the cost of it all. I'm talking about those who find you, befriend you, and then hit you up for money as if they've known you for years. Even worse is that they make you guilty of being unloving if you can't help them.
    With that being said since you came to my house... if you like what you hear, consider supporting our teaching ministry.  See below... :)

  • Facebook Sharks OR Sheep? | Episode 44
    There is a grave disconnect...
    From the teaching of Scripture on how a teacher of the Word of God is supposed to act, think, speak and respond to error and what we see in today's culture on Facebook and other social media platforms. Disrespect is never OK, it is always sinful. And I can prove contextually that God has never called anyone to the ministry of "calling out error" but rather has called SOME to the ministry of dividing rightly the truth.
    1 Peter 3:13–17
    [13] Now who is there to harm you if you are zealous for what is good? [14] But even if you should suffer for righteousness' sake, you will be blessed. Have no fear of them, nor be troubled, [15] but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect, [16] having a good conscience, so that, when you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame. [17] For it is better to suffer for doing good, if that should be God's will, than for doing evil.

  • Facebook Preachers Need A Day Job | Episode 43
    The Sifter of Heretics!
    Is not your title, nor your job. Regular interaction on FB and social media platforms have become a demonic breeding ground for mean-spirited and arrogant controversy under the guise of "truth" proclamation and "correction."  Teachers have a clear message and mission found in Scripture and they would do well to heed it and quit being so rude.
    Do you want to teach? Then you must teach as God has commanded. You are not Jesus and you are neither Peter nor Paul. You are to be nothing. No name, no fame, and for the sake of our God in Heaven, you are not needed in this fight. You must be patient and KIND to all people. You must have the heart of a teacher and be willing to learn. You don’t know anything much less anything. God can take the dumbest man in the sack and give him insight into the divine through Scripture by the Spirit. Get to work proclaiming, and be honest. Lying is the biggest problem of it all. You talk, interact, and most of the time it is from a satanic assumption that is from your flesh. As for me, I pray you hear. I want to teach the Scripture to you and learn from you. But these things have really iced the cake of division. No thank you, I don’t care for a slice.
    "You mama is so heretical the devil ran to tell Jesus. We don't want this type of cake folks.. oh and it's a lie."

  • God is NOT Pleased with the Works of Man | You Must Believe | Episode 42
    The Pope, Nuff Said!
    We cannot promise what Scripture does not teach. We cannot deny what Scripture clearly reveals. Culture has always dictated belief systems and in this present age, just as in the age of Paul, people in their natural flesh will not endure sound teaching. So, they gather up teachers that will say what they want to hear. The Pope by all necessary explanation is anathema due to the fact that he grants promises through weak and situationally insufficient logic in order to appease the crowd. Sadly, I don’t think this is intentional but is motivated about of love and compassion for hurting humans. However, this compassion is resistant to the didactic of Holy Writ, through which we have the fullness of the holiness of God revealed, first through His creation, then His law, the finally and fully through His Son. God is not pleased with the works of man. He cannot be because all men have fallen from the glory of God and are guilty before Him. Romans 1 teaches that the wrath of God WILL BE poured out on all ungodliness and unrighteousness of man.
    Man in his natural state of depravity, even when he labors to seek after God and to know him, is still guilty. No man is justified by the works of the law… However, one must be a believer by exercising faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ. God does not look at the good deeds of man and justify them, He looks only that the holiness of His Son Jesus and through Jesus is a man justified, redeemed, and propitiated (God’s justice satisfied), thus Jesus Christ alone by grace through faith saves, not our good deeds. Someone who rejects the gospel of grace is condemned already according to Jesus because He is not believing in the Only Son (John 3:16-18) and thus the condemnation REMAINS on Him. Salvation is by the Lord, God saves, God decides who goes to Heaven for sure, but this election is not up for human subjectivity, no, it is objectively God’s design and decree.
    So, to promise anyone that God will work outside of His revealed word is foolish, and quite honestly, downright cruel. Yes, it may give a temporary peace but in reality, it hardens the heart of the listener from the truth as it drags them further and further away from the center of life; Jesus Christ Alone. So, we know that one who refuses to believe is not going to enter into the rest of the Lord’s salvation because that is ONLY found in the Finished work of Jesus Christ who pays for our sins. Jesus Christ Alone. That’s the only message that is true, anything else is a devil’s lie. Rest well beloved.
    We appreciate your listening and look forward to seeing this podcast get off the ground with great force. By the Lord's grace, we'll continue to provide more and more teaching on this and other pastoral subjects.
