New Age spirituality frequently teaches that human beings are "co-creators" with God or that God needs our experiences in order to learn and grow. Scripture teaches the opposite. God possesses everything He needs within Himself. He is eternal, sovereign, independent, and completely self-sufficient. In Week 50 of New Age to Christ, Doreen Virtue explains how this attribute of God frees Christians from the exhausting burden of trying to control everything, rescue everyone, or earn God's favor through good works. Because God lacks nothing, His grace, wisdom, love, and strength will never be exhausted. We obey God because we love Him and have been saved through faith in Jesus Christ, not because God needs something from us. Every believer can lay down the burden of self-reliance and rest in the complete sufficiency of God. For more from Doreen please visit: https://servantsofgrace.org/doreen-virtue/

In this episode, we dive deep into the remarkable historical accounts of child conversions during the great 18th and 19th-century revivals—from the famous four-year-old Phoebe Bartlett in Jonathan Edwards's Northampton to the quiet, powerful awakenings in the valleys of Wales and the national schools of Ulster. Together, we explore how revival leaders like James Robe, Thomas Phillips, and Asahel Nettleton documented and evaluated these young lives, examining the secret prayer societies children formed in barns and behind hedges, the profound way their simple faith catalyzed entire households, and the careful pastoral discernment used to test genuine spiritual transformation.

What happens when a spiritually dangerous practice appears to provide physical healing or relief? In this Contending for the Word Q&A episode, Doreen Virtue explains how Satan uses counterfeit spiritual experiences to draw people away from Jesus Christ and the true gospel. Practices such as Reiki, qigong, shamanic healing, Christian Science, manifestation, and the law of attraction may promise healing or personal empowerment, but they direct people toward self-reliance and unbiblical sources of spiritual power. Doreen also considers why God does not always grant immediate physical healing and how the Lord may use suffering to produce greater dependence upon Him. Since Satan can disguise himself as an angel of light, Christians must prayerfully compare every spiritual claim, experience, and apparent miracle with the teaching of Scripture.

This sermon explores how Ezra's sound biblical theology manifested in an exemplary faith characterized by prudence, persistence, and prayer. The speaker emphasizes that true doctrine leads to practical application, urging believers to actively assess situations and take responsible action rather than falling into fatalism.
