  • Critique of Aberrant Religions - Part 2 by Dr. Joe L. Mott on Aug. 18, 2025
    References:
    (1) We have addressed Christian Liberalism, Christian Science, and Jehovah’s Witnesses. Now let us turn our FOCUS to Latter-day Saints or Mormonism.
    (2) Joseph Smith, Jr. (1805-1844) claimed that in 1820, 10 years prior to him starting the LDS church, he received his “First Vision,” at the age of 14. Smith had been studying the passage in the Bible James 1:5 which says, “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given him.”
    On the BASIS of that verse, Smith determined to ask God which Christian church to JOIN. He claims his question was answered in a VISION where God the Father and Jesus Christ both appeared to him in a “sacred grove” of trees near his home in Palmyra, New York. Smith reported that Christ WARNED him to join NONE of the churches because they were all WRONG, their creeds were an ABOMINATION in God’s sight, and those who profess these religions were all CORRUPT.
    (3) Now let us compare some of LDS doctrines with those of Christianity.
    (4) Is the God of Mormonism the same as the God of the Bible? No. The God of Mormonism was formerly a mortal, finite human who became God and attained his current deified state by obedience to eternal laws and principles. And because he could become God, individual humans can still become divine by following the same eternal laws and principles.
    (4) But the God of the Bible has always been ETERNALLY God (Ps. 90:2). God is spirit (John 4:24). James 2:19  says, “You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe, and tremble.” The God of the Bible is all-knowing and all-loving God, yet He declares that He knows of no other gods (Isa. 44:18). God insists that before Him no god was formed, neither shall there be any god that comes after Him (Isa. 43:10; 44:6). In summary, the God described in the Bible is not the god in which Mormons believe. LDS doctrine claims that God the Father was once a man, but “progressed” to godhood. In LDS doctrine God has a physical body, thus, He is not spirit as Christianity affirms. Mormonism promotes that humans can become gods contrary to what the Bible plainly declares.
    (5) In Mormonism God the Father has “a body of flesh and bones
    as tangible as man’s” and can only be at one place at any time. This is totally contrary to the biblical fact that God is Spirit.
    (6) Christianity has no concept of humans becoming gods, but Mormons believe that humans can become gods. Consequently, there are many gods in Mormonism; in other words, LDS doctrine is manifestly POLYTHEISTIC, and that is totally contrary to the fact that the Bible says the Lord is the Only God. In the words of Mormon apostle Orson Pratt, “If we should take a million other worlds like this and number their particles, we should find that there are more gods than there are particles of matter in those worlds.”
    (7) Mormonism sees Jesus as the Spirit child of God the Father, a heavenly Mother and spirit brother of Lucifer contrary to what Christianity teaches concerning the Virgin Birth through Mary.
    (8) Fifth LDS president Lorenzo Snow stated, “As Man is, God once was; as God is, man may become.”
    (9) LDS teaches that TOTAL APOSTASY overcame the Christian church shortly after the death of the last apostle. They predicted that apostasy would engulf the Christian church in what they called the “GREAT APOSTASY” — a complete abandonment of true Christian principles. Thus, there had been NO TRUE CHRISTIANITY on the earth for 1700 years. Therefore, the “one true church” needed to be  RESTORED.
    (10) The sacred books for LDS are the King James Version of the Bible, the Book of Mormon, the Doctrine and Covenants and the Pearl of Great Price written by Smith. LDS claims that the Bible is “the word of God insofar as it is translated correctly.” The Doctrine and Covenants contains revelations and declarations given through various LDS leaders, but primarily by Joseph Smith.

  • The Seed and the Seal by Servant Marcia Carty on Aug. 18, 2025
    Our relationship with God is a covenant, a sacred agreement in which He always keeps His side of the bargain. While history is filled with examples of humanity's rebellion and broken promises, God's faithfulness remains our steadfast hope. In this message, Servant Marcia Carty explores the power of this covenant, contrasting the consequences of disobedience with the blessings of a life lived in submission to God.
    -- The Seed of Rebellion: The first act of human rebellion by Adam and Eve planted a seed of disobedience that bore fruit in their son, Cain, leading him to murder his brother. This serves as a warning that what we harbor in our hearts will inevitably manifest in our lives.
    -- The Covenant of Joash: The story of King Joash and the priest Jehoiada illustrates the benefits of covenantal living. As long as they submitted to God's will, the people and their land prospered. But when the covenant maker died, they fell away, and wrath came upon them.
    -- The Promise of the Seal: God's consistency is our assurance. Just as He promised to be a "wall of fire" around His people, He seals believers with His Spirit—a sign of His protection and presence. This seal transforms us, clothing us in righteousness and enabling us to bear the fruit of the Spirit rather than the fruit of rebellion.
    -- The Call to Abide: The core of this teaching is a call to examine ourselves. We must choose to receive the "seed of righteousness" found only in Jesus Christ. When we abide in Him, we are born of God and cannot continue in sin because His seed remains in us.

  • The God of Miracles is Still Working Today With Isaac Prather
    A God Who Still Works Miracles
    Evangelist Isaac Prather joins the program to share his inspiring testimony and encourage listeners that God is still a miracle-working God. Having been delivered from a life of addiction, Prather testifies to the supernatural power of God that set him free and called him to a ministry of signs and wonders.
    He recounts miraculous stories, from his own dramatic conversion where a preacher, a stranger to him, prophesied over his life and he was knocked to the floor by God’s power, to the healing of a woman suffering from vertigo. These experiences, along with repeated prophetic words from different ministers, solidified his call to a ministry of miracles.
    Prather discusses the need for the Church to rise up in the authority of the believer and witness God's power in action. He shares captivating stories from a miracle crusade in Athens, Georgia, and other personal encounters, demonstrating God's compassion and healing power.
    Key takeaways from this message include:
    -- The God of miracles in the Bible is still the same today and has not changed.
    -- Miracles are for those who believe; the question is, "Can you believe?"
    -- Faith comes from hearing the Word of God, so it is essential to study what Jesus did and said.
    -- Jesus's command to His followers was that they would do the same works He did and even greater ones.
    -- God inhabits the praises of His people, and praising Him in faith is an important key to seeing a move of His power.
    -- Every believer has the authority to cast out demons, speak in new tongues, and lay hands on the sick for their recovery.

  • Sowing and Reaping
    The law of seedtime and harvest is as old as God's living creation. Like all of God's laws that govern the universe, the principle is immutable: "Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." This is not only true in God's physical world but in the spiritual realm as well. In this broadcast of Let the Bible Speak, we're reminded of how this unavoidable law should make us wiser farmers in our field of life.

  • Health Insurance "Gut Punch"? There Is a Better Way
    The recent news of a 110% increase in health care premiums for Virginia Beach school employees is a stark reminder of the lack of control many people have over their health care costs. This "gut punch" isn't an isolated incident; it's part of a nationwide trend of double-digit premium increases. For Christians, this situation presents an opportunity for a biblical paradigm shift — moving away from a reliance on traditional health insurance and toward a system rooted in faith, trust, and mutual sharing.
    This model of health care is based on the biblical principle of Christians sharing with one another, as encouraged in Hebrews 13:16. Unlike traditional health insurance, which can fund things contrary to Christian values, a health care sharing ministry like Share HealthCare allows members to directly help fellow believers with their medically necessary expenses.
    This approach offers both financial and spiritual benefits:
    -- Increased Freedom and Control: When you choose a health care sharing ministry, you regain control over your health care choices and costs. Instead of being locked into a high-premium employer plan, you are free to choose an option that aligns with your faith and budget.
    -- Financial Stewardship: Many Christian health care sharing ministries offer significant savings compared to traditional insurance. For example, a family of four can contribute just $349 per month to Share HealthCare, an amount that is often less than the premium increase that some people are facing.
    -- A Biblical Foundation: The ministry operates on the principle of Christians helping one another, which is a core tenet of the Christian faith. This model ensures that your contributions are supporting other believers and their health needs, rather than funding practices that may be ungodly.
    -- Health and Wellness: By encouraging members to live healthy, godly lives, these ministries promote a biblical view of the body as a temple. Share HealthCare, for instance, requires members to be non-smokers and to practice moderation in other aspects of their lives, which leads to better overall health and lower costs for the entire community.
