Faith Forward: Pastors’ Political Perspective—where faith & politics collide. Biblical truth on today’s issues. Hosted by leaders from Godspeak Calvary Chapel.
You must do this to be a leader!
If you're a leader, you have to struggle. You have to face and struggle with opposition, in order to come out stronger on the other side.
Stop associating with evil people!
Many times you hang out with a group of friends who are living in sin, because you want to change them. You need to be honest with yourself. Are you changing them, or are they holding you back from growing closer to God?
Leave the people that take you closer to sin.
Many Christians believe that they'll be able to convert friends that aren't yet following Christ, however, what ends up happening is that the friends influence them. You need to be wise about who you surround yourself with.
"But Jesus hung out with sinners"
Yes, Jesus hung out with sinners, but he never sinned with them. Too many Christians use this excuse to stay friends with people who lead them astray.
How should Christians judge?
Christians should correct their brothers and sister living in sin, however it needs to be done in the right way. It needs to be done in a respectful, loving and prayerful way.
The combination of Islam and communism!
Communism and Islam are taking over. Secular progressivism destroys the morals and conviction of western culture in Islam comes in and wipes you out.
The problem with Hamas supporters!
Islam wants to take over. If Hamas put down their weapons, the war would be over. If Israel put down their weapons, they would be wiped off the map.
Should Christians support Israel?
Christ chose to reveal Himself as a Jewish person. God also made an eternal promise with Abraham. Yes, they might not always do everything right, but we must always pray for God to bless them and open their eyes to come to Him.
Gen Z is in debt!
Gen Z is the most indebted generation. This is why, one of the most important political issues that needs to be addressed for Gen Z is; how do we make life for young people cheaper?
Giving up sin is not fasting!
Biblical fasting is giving up food. Giving up things that have become idols is something that we should automatically do as believers.
This is how you should fast!
When you fast, you need to give up food, in order to give up a necessity. If there is something that you prioritize before God, it's a sin that you need to give up. It's not something you should just give up momentarily and call it a "fast".
How should Christians fast?
Do you want a fat body or a fat soul? Too many Christians don’t know how to fast. Fasting is not about giving up your desires, it's about giving up your needs.
Why are so many Christians not fasting?
Many Christians are missing the point of fasting. Fasting is not just about giving up some desires, it's about giving up your needs (food).
Don't believe in this false Jesus!
Many times we're guilty of making up an idea of Jesus whom we're happy to serve. We need to study the Bible to worship Jesus, for who He truly is.
Don't fall for this lie!
If you believe that Christians can't impact this world for the better, don't be surprised if young people aren't in your church.
