This podcast was done out of necessity. There is an attack today against the Word of God such as we’ve never seen in the history of the world. The righteous standard & holiness of God declared within the Holy Scriptures is being bombarded from every angle. The common ideology of social culturalism continuously stands against the authority of God and His Word. The proponents of these social agendas have one purpose, to dethrone God & silence the voices of all the true born-again Christians that haven’t sold their soul to compromise in the name of humanity. The issues of abortion, gender dysphoria & same sex relationships, to name a few, are not political issues. They are moral issues in which the Bible has something to say about. Psalm 11:3 declares, “If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?” (King James Version). In this 13th episode of The Vine I continue with the series of ‘Real Christianity’ and discuss in detail of how to study the Bible to equip the believer so they may sanctify the Lord God in their hearts & be ready always to give an answer to every person that asks them a reason of the hope that in is them with meekness and fear. (1 Peter 3:15).

New Years Resolutions…I’m pretty sure we’ve all made them at some point in our lives. Even if we don’t label them as such. Admit it, you’ve always wanted to take advantage of a new year, a fresh start, another kick at the can, if you will, to accomplish specific goals that you’ve failed to follow through on in the previous year. Don’t misunderstand me, this an admirable motivation - to better one self! Today I’ll be sharing a new years resolution that is more practical & impactful, & to be continued throughout the years to come. Please grab a coffee, your Bible, a note pad & pen as we begin a journey into this 2024th year of our Lord on the 12th episode of…The Vine.

Bless you,
Pastor Shawn

It's one thing to hear & accept what the world states about their take on the person of Jesus Christ. It's a total other thing to hear & accept what church-goers state of their belief on who they think Jesus is. The definition of a Christian is this, Christ in you, the hope of glory! It's so mind blowing when you talk to different people within the church & hear their views/beliefs of who they think Jesus is simply by the way they talk. By their own profession you can actually tell what kind of a relationship they have with Him. The modern day Jesus  that is portrayed by many Christians is not necessarily the Jesus of the Bible. In this 11th & final episode of The Vine in 2023 I discuss the mindset of the church regarding this Fake Jesus and compare that to the Real Jesus that we read in the Scriptures.

In light of recent events in the Middle East I have decided to , once again, not continue with my series on Real Christianity, but instead focus attention to events happening in our world. The vision of the podcast is to place world events in the mirror of Scripture, the absolute truth, where we see ourselves in the prophetic landscape of time. I encourage you to have a Bible in hand as I discuss many scriptures reflecting a prophetic message that God has established in the eternal now.

I remember as a kid growing up in the 70’s and watching TV. There were two TV shows in particular that would never be allowed to air in this day & age, All In The Family & The Jeffersons. Little did I know that watching these 70’s Sitcoms I would adapt racist language which I would ignorantly use in my regular vocabulary. The lead characters in these TV shows was a white man named Archie Bunker and a black man named George Jefferson. Both of these characters were racist against the other’s skin colour. It’s no secret that racism exists today and it is attributed, in my humble opinion, to learned behaviour & ignorance. Today I discuss Racism From a Biblical Perspective on this 9th episode of...The Vine. Be blessed!

I remember watching a commercial on TV back in 1981 from the Army and the main tag line was, "Be all that you can be..." Well in this episode I go into some detail on what the Bible tells us on how we can be our best selves! Be blessed!

In this 6th episode I took a break from my series on Real Christianity. As led by the Spirit I share a message that I recently preached about a month ago but is not a live recording. I break down the state of our nation (applies to any nation for that matter), how we got here, where we are & where we need to go as Christians.  As promised, here is the link I have referred to: https://rcg.org/realtruth/articles/316-cmd.html.

Have you ever hungered for more of God? Have you desired to know the mysteries contained in God's Word? What about your calling? Do you want to discover God's ministry calling for your life? How about this...Have you been struggling with character flaws or sinful patterns in your life & you just can't seem to live the victorious life that Jesus promised? Believe it or not, it is very possible that what you need hasn't been taught in your church to the degree that I share with you as I will be discussing one of the most powerful, yet practical, ways you can begin to see changes in your life in this 5th episode of The Vine!

Blessings to you!

If there's one specific thing that brings division in the Body of Christ, it's the spiritual gift of speaking in tongues. Think about it for a minute. Why, within the church, the one single Body of Jesus Christ, do we have all of these denominations? Denominations have been created because this is Satan's way to cause division in the church. This was NEVER God's plan. They have done nothing but expose the unbelief in the lives of many believers. The church was ordained to be the extension of Jesus Christ's earthly ministry.  In Mark 16: 15-18 Jesus tells us some of the things that believers in Him will do, namely, cast out devils, speak with new tongues and lay hands on the sick where they will recover. Why are we not seeing this as common place in the modern church? The main reason for the existence of divisions/denominations, for the most part, is the subject of the gift of speaking in tongues.  Part 3 of Real Christianity will help the believer come to a greater understanding of why God has given this gift to the church and will also cover the types of manifestations of this Gift of the Spirit.

Blessings,
Rev. Shawn McNeaney
