Mission Sunday

In part 5 we continued to look at the sad reality how the postmodern view of the Truth has infiltrated the church in the form of the emerging church movement - and there is a war raging in the church today – with the Truth being the target of the attack… In part 6 we look at: - The "EMERGING CHURCH" promotes "dialogue" instead of standing solely on the Truth of Scripture - The "EMERGING CHURCH" wants to replace the pastor - in the local church - with a "storyteller" or "a commentator". - The "EMERGING CHURCH" is trying to replace - "THUS SAYS THE LORD" with "WHAT DO YOU THINK? - The rise of Postmodernism through the "EMERGING CHURCH" basically replaced THE TRUTH WITH UNCERTAINTY - regarding some fundamental truths of Scripture...

We are seeing the development of a One World Religion - It will be on earth during the last part of the earth's history. Someone said: "As we approach the end of the Church Age, we can expect to see liberal Protestantism, in the form of the National Council of Churches and the World Council of Churches, being swallowed up by the Church of Rome."

There are certain things which only God can do. The Bible tells us of many things which cannot be done by man or by any other power, they can only be done by God. i. Only God can REVEAL Himself, and ii. INSPIRE writers to write down an accurate record of that Revelation.

A Biblical world view – is based completely on the Bible – it is the only thing we as believers need to live lives which pleases God… We must interpret the Bible correctly and accurately. How can we make sure that we have a strong Biblical World View? First - Read the Bible… Second - Study the Bible… Third - Meditate on the Bible… Fourth - Obey the Bible… Fifth - Believe the Bible… Sixth – Live in accordance with the Bible… Seventh – If the world says the opposite of the Bible – hold fast to the teaching of the Bible – even if it leads to you being called names, downplayed, rejected, or persecuted…

Youth service about our foundations in Genesis.

The Holy Spirit is SPIRIT... as the Father and the Son is Spirit… We have pictures in the Bible which helps us to understand who He is and what He does. 1. The Bible tells us that the Holy Spirit is a SEAL. 2. The Bible also tells us that the Holy Spirit is like WATER. 3. The Bible also tells us that the Holy Spirit is like WIND.

A -Biblical world view- is not the same as a -Christian world view,- -A -Christian world view- can be different from denomination to denomination - it can even differ from Christian to Christian.-I also said that I believe that all born again believers should embrace and live according to a Biblical world view. --A biblical world view comes directly from God's all inspired Word.
