Yes, they are.

I discuss Alisa Childers' shift toward engaging with false teachers to reach the lost. While some support this view, I warn against the dangers of false teachers, asserting they corrupt faith and lead believers astray. I emphasize the importance of avoiding such influences, offering evidences of biblical warnings regarding sin and temptation.

In this post, I discuss the importance of maintaining theological integrity and not compromising the Gospel despite cultural moments that seem to indicate a softening or readiness for the Gospel. I critique Alisa Childers' self-announced shift towards softening her stance on not associating with false teachers and indicating she may now do so in the future, if asked. I state that this undermines credibility and dilutes the message of Christ. We need clear separation from falsehood in ministry.

SYNOPSIS

This essay addresses the ethical, moral, and theological implications of publicly celebrating the death of a political or philosophical opponent, specifically in response to the killing of Charlie Kirk. I highlight the reactions from some individuals who feel it is unfair that people celebrating his death have faced consequences, like losing their jobs. I argue that there are serious moral, ethical, and theological concerns when someone openly rejoices in the death of another.

4th and final reflection as I processed the assassination of TPUSA founder and Christian conservative speaker Charlie Kirk. Here they are, in order of publication.

Our Nation's Descent into Depravity (sermon)
What's happening in our country? How did we get to this point? What's the cause of our nation's descent into depravity?

The reality of God's wrath (sermon)
The truth is, a biblically accurate understanding of God’s righteous wrath can only increase our appreciation for His tremendous grace. Understanding the depth of our spiritual needs and the punishment due for our sinful rebellion enriches our understanding of the full majesty of His grace to us.

When God abandons a nation (sermon)
This section is about the wrath of God. Admittedly not a popular subject, certainly not a popular subject in the world and not even a very popular subject in the church. But an absolutely critical and central subject to any understanding of the gospel, the wrath of God.

Has America's point of no return been reached? (blog essay)
Did you know that when an individual is so hardened to the truth, He gives them over to it? There IS a point of no return...

SYNOPSIS

The post discusses the reaction to the death of TPUSA Founder Charlie Kirk, highlighting how some individuals on the political left have celebrated it. I highlight the biblical perspective of enmity against God, citing scripture to illustrate the deep-seated hostility towards truth among the unsaved, and concludes with the importance of the Gospel as the only saving message.

In the wake of the murderous assassination of Charlie Kirk, we ponder Ralph Venning's "The Sinfulness of Sin," which emphasizes the pervasive nature of sin, where society tolerates some sins while abhorring others. Venning contrasts God's holiness with humanity's sinful nature, urging believers to expect persecution and to rejoice in Christ, the light amidst darkness, who offers salvation and righteousness to repentant sinners.Links mentioned-

In this essay, I discuss the fact of God's transcendence and relational nature of Jesus. While He possesses incommunicable attributes making Him totally 'other', Jesus also intimately connects with individuals, as shown in Mark 6:48. He sees and cares for His sheep, offering comfort and encouragement, reminding believers of His personal presence and compassion for each person.

Today I critique Lori Alexander The Transformed Wife, highlighting her legalistic teachings and their harmful effects on women in faith. I assert that Alexander propagates self-created, unilateral standards about women working outside the home that contradict biblical examples, lack grace, and puts burdens on women. I urge readers to reject Alexander's burdensome doctrines and instead seek supportive ministries that align with true biblical teachings.
