WITHIN CHRIST’S CHURCH, ARE WE SUPPOSED TO CALL OUT FALSE TEACHERS BY 
NAME? The apostle John said this in 3 John 1:9: “I wrote something to the Church, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first among them, will not accept our instruction.” Some in the Church today like to say, "Hey, you shouldn't call people out by name.” In fact, it is something I have personally gotten flak for, but I always wonder what Bible those accusers are reading. As a shepherd doing so in love for the Church, I like to be blunt, NOT skirting the issue with something like, "Hey Church, there's a really bad guy out there teaching a false, works-based doctrine that is leading people straight to hell, but I can’t warn you about who he is, so you’ll 
just have to hopefully discover him for yourselves. Good luck!”; That would be terrible! Out of love, we need to warn others to stay clear of those sorts of people, and do so by name instead of making people guess. Just as Jesus and the Apostle John did, I will be specific and mention names. In the passage above, John has no problem calling out Diotrephes by name, and Jesus did the same in Matthew 23, where the whole chapter is Jesus using harsh language to publicly berating the Pharisees. Paul does the same with Hymenaeus and Alexander when he called them out by name. The idea that we should not lovingly warn others by pinpointing specific 
people is a lie perpetrated by false teachers. It is their way 
to try silencing biblical Christians so the rats can continue 
spreading cancer through the Christ’s Church. | image tagged in bible,god,jesus,church,christian | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

HOW SHOULD WE EXPLAIN THE TRINITY? Some secularists and other non-Christians believe the Christian Trinity actually represents three Gods, which it does NOT. All three are the same essence of God, which is revealed in three ways: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. So, the math is not 1 + 1 + 1 = 3; instead, it is 1 x 1 x 1 = 1. Said another way, it is like the different states of water. 
When left alone, water is a liquid; frozen, it becomes a solid; and 
heated, it turns into a vapor. Which of those is not water? | image tagged in god,jesus,holy spirit,bible,trinity | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

DOES GOD THE FATHER HAVE A PHYSICAL BODY? 
Genesis tells us man was created in the “image” of God, so some twist the idea to claim God the Father has a body. But that is not what the Bible is talking about. That false assertion comes from corrupt sources outside the Bible. Us being made in God's image is not referring to a physical body because God the Father does not have a body. John 4:24 tells us, "God is Spirit." We are not made in His image bodily! Instead, it is both morally and spiritually.
Besides God giving humans some understanding of His morality, like Him we were also given a spirit that we will continue to use for our existence through the rest of eternity. The latter is why all of mankind, throughout every age, will exist forever. However, because of our God-given free will to choose whether we love or reject our Creator, by our own individual choice, each of our dwelling spots after this life on earth will be forever in one of only two places—with God or away from Him—heaven or hell. Because we have an eternal nature, one or the other will be the future for us, our ancestors, and all future humans. There is no annihilation after this life, as some false religions and cults teach. We are
wonderfully made in God's image, both morally and spiritually. | image tagged in god,creator,spirit,bible,father,human | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

ARE YOU NOT ABLE TO FIND A HEALTHY CHURCH? We get calls and emails every week with the same old story—people cannot find a healthy Church. Christians should be thankful if they have one lead by a faithful shepherd, but those are getting fewer and farther between. For those who don’t have a healthy Church, I encourage them to get rid of any convenience mentality. Even though we are living in the days of apostasy (it will get worse) and it won’t come easily, God is faithful to get us to a healthy Church but we need to do two things: First, the five-minute drives are over, so give that idea up. I used to drive ninety minutes one way, and some attending our Sunrise Bible Church are doing that now. So, what? Jesus went all the way to Calgary. In my spirit of bluntness these days, I challenge folks to realize they obviously know the importance of a healthy
Church but still refuse to drive twenty minutes for it. My counsel goes like this: “With all due respect, you are admitting you presently go to services at an apostate Church, so you are part of the problem. Your attendance contributes time, treasure, talents, and another tongue to help that apostate Church continue on. Do you really want to do that?” Remember though, there is no perfect Church, including my own. And if you think there is, don’t go there because you’ll mess it up, just like I would. But if all true, born-again Christians—who know they're not at a healthy Church—would make an exodus this week, most of those Churches would go belly up. Then biblical Churches preaching the truth could do so much more with the increased numbers. So, that spirit of convenience and compromise that causes people to stay in apostate Churches has contributed to lack of attendance at the healthy Churches, which are harder to find these days. But you should know that Christ would not leave you high and dry. He will give you an opportunity to get to a biblically-based Church where you can grow in your relationship
with Him—it may just take more faith and effort on your part. | image tagged in church,bible,god,jesus,christian,advice | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

WHY DO LESS THAN 50% OF CHRISTIANS TRUST THE BIBLE 100%? [4 of 4] Then there's this important fact about the rock solid credibility of the Bible: Scripture was written over a period of 1500 years, through 40 generations, by 40 authors from every walk of life, including kings, peasants, philosophers, fisherman, poets, statesmen, etc. Before getting saved, I used to say the Bible was whipped up by men, but even on his best day, man could never put together something like the Bible. The writers didn't even know each other, so how can critics claim they conspired? The diverse authors of the Bible were from all over the spectrum: Moses, was a political leader; Peter, a Fisherman; Amos, a herdsman; Joshua, a military general; Nehemiah, a cup bearer; Daniel, a prime minister; Luke, a doctor; 
Solomon, a King; Matthew, a tax collector; and Paul was a rabbi. Scripture was written in all kind of places: the wilderness, a dungeon, on a hillside, in a palace, from prison, while traveling, by John on the island of Patmos, and during military campaigns. That last one was during war, but some of the Bible was also written in times of peace. So there were many different moods of the authors, from the heights of joy to the depths of despair and sorrow. On top of all that, Scripture was written on three continents (Asia, Africa, and Europe) in three languages (Hebrew, Koine Greek, and a small part was Aramaic). With those aspects of the Bible in mind, here are the mind-blowers: Never once does the Bible contradict itself and it gives the same message throughout the Old and New Testament.
So I'll say it again: Even on their best day, there is NO WAY humans
—without God's direction—could ever whip up something like that. The Bible
is THE one authority for mankind, straight from our Creator! | image tagged in bible,god,christian,scripture,jesus,truth | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
