A watered-down Gospel doesn’t save—and a silent Church doesn’t protect. In this sobering message from Jude, Dr. Michael Youssef exposes a deadly danger in our day: apathy toward false teaching. God’s Word is inerrant, His warnings are clear, and His judgment is certain.
Jude points to three unforgettable warnings:
Dr. Youssef calls believers to repent of indifference and refuse the cultural pressure to redefine sin. The Church must stand under the authority of Scripture and speak with clarity—not compromise.

It’s easy to assume there will always be more time. But Dr. Tony Evans explains why God’s timeline is different from ours and why understanding eternity should affect the choices we make every day.
Every time something huge happens in the world, people start asking, “Wait… is this it? Is Armageddon about to begin?” Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie examines what the Bible actually says about the End Times, and why we don’t need to panic. God’s not caught off guard by any of this. He’s had a plan from the very start. And that plan includes you . . . your peace, your hope, and your future.

What if giving is not losing at all, but investing in what lasts forever?
Jesus tells us in Matthew 6:20 to “store up for yourselves treasures in heaven.” That one command reshapes the way we think about money, possessions, and generosity. Wealth can be dangerous when it owns us, but when it is surrendered to God, it can become a powerful tool for eternal good.
Randy Alcorn, bestselling author and founder of Eternal Perspective Ministries (EPM), has spent decades helping Christians think biblically about money, possessions, generosity, and eternity. His message is both sobering and hopeful: wealth is a test, but it can also become a tool for God’s Kingdom.
Money has a powerful influence on our spiritual lives because it reveals what we truly value. Jesus said in Matthew 6:21, “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
The way we handle money is not separate from our discipleship. It shows what we trust, what we prioritize, and where our affections are directed. As Alcorn explains, money is not spiritually insignificant. It has power. Either it will serve God, or we will find ourselves serving it.
That is why Scripture speaks so directly about the danger of loving money. In 1 Timothy 6:9–10, Paul warns that “those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare,” and that “the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils.” He goes on to say that some have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.
Those are sobering words. Money is a good gift from God. It can provide for needs, bless families, support ministry, and help those who are suffering. But when it becomes the object of our trust or the center of our affections, it competes with God for our hearts.
The danger of wealth is real, but it is not the whole story. Money surrendered to God can be used in deeply meaningful ways.
It can help advance the gospel. It can meet practical needs. It can support Bible translation, provide clean water, help rescue those trapped in exploitation, care for the vulnerable, and strengthen the work of the local church.
Money is not the source of transformation—God is. But God often uses the resources of His people to accomplish His purposes in the world. That is why faithful stewardship begins with surrender. We come before the Lord and say, “This all belongs to You. What do You want me to do with it?”
When wealth is surrendered to God, it loses its grip on our hearts and becomes an opportunity to participate in His redemptive work.
Jesus’ command to store up treasures in heaven reframes generosity. Giving is not merely parting with money. It is investing in what lasts.
Alcorn compares this to investing in a company. When you own shares, you naturally begin to pay attention. You read the reports. You notice the headlines. Your interest follows your investment.
The same principle applies spiritually. When we put our resources toward the things of God, our hearts begin to follow. If we want to care more deeply about our church, missions, the poor, or the work of the gospel, one practical step is to invest our time, energy, and money there.
Generosity does not only bless the recipient. It reshapes the giver. It moves our hearts toward the Kingdom of God.
In Acts 20:35, Paul reminds the Ephesian elders of Jesus’ words: “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” That does not mean giving is merely a duty. It means generosity leads to joy.
The generous life reflects the heart of God, who gives freely and abundantly. Grace itself is rooted in God’s giving nature. When we give, we are not simply checking off a spiritual responsibility. We are pa
