These posts deal with moral issues of our day. They attack head on the deceitful doctrines of our era that seek to lead people into unrighteousness through either legalism or liberty.
Greed has gone largely unaddressed in Western Christianity because it has such a powerful grip on our culture and it can sometimes be difficult to identify, but we have protected greed by veiling it in heavy cloaks of subjectivity so that no one can confront it without being condemned as “judgmental” and “divisive”. Indeed, this …
Matthew 12:36–37 (CSB) — 36 I tell you that on the day of judgment people will have to account for every careless word they speak. 37 For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.” Why does God care about what comes out of our mouths? In light …

Back in May of 2012, I felt compelled to address “The issue of homosexuality”, and I said that, “it’s of utmost importance that we understand the spiritual warfare going on here: this front has been carefully planned for by the enemy, Satan.
