@TRThomas96@dpatt017 The crux of the issue is whether or not it is biblical. Is the sermon’s primary focus Scripture or is it personal stories, illustrations, JPeterson’s last podcast, etc?
John warned of doctrines which deny that Jesus Christ is come IN THE FLESH. He called it the spirit of antichrist.
The devil does not fear the church believing in one God. He believes too, and trembles.
But to deny the Lord’s humanity, is to deny the means of our own salvation.
@TRThomas96@dpatt017 Yes @TRThomas96 ! @dpatt017, while I agree with the spirit of your thread, you've lost me some of the comments on the new birth & adornment. Both expositional study of the Bible and systematic study have increased my confidence in the basic tenets of apostolic doctrine and life.
@dpatt017 4) Our focus has been EXTREMELY missional (very good and proper) BUT we have missed the making disciples which only happens by way of the Word (not good). 5) We *think* in terms of being Spirit led (necessity) but dismiss the Word as the primary source of answers to such leading
@dpatt017 There are several reasons, some of which have been mentioned. Here are a few more: 1) the INCREDIBLE amount of time it takes to do such properly 2) the consequences of such approach in our fellowships and where it will take you 3) the average apostolic has little appetite for it.
Urgent Advisory from the Israeli Government:
Within the next few hours, Hamas terrorists are expected to disseminate photos and videos of hostages and acts of torture across social media platforms. The Government of Israel urgently requests the following actions be taken.
1. Do not engage in sharing these images or videos under any circumstances. Doing so contributes to psychological warfare against both the State of Israel and its citizens.
2. Shield minors from exposure to this disturbing content. The images and videos are highly graphic and could induce significant emotional distress.
Your cooperation in adhering to these directives is critically important.
The Speaker bears responsibility for this mess - but so does the PM.
PMO decided, on short notice, to request a Joint Address for Pres. Zelensky.
And, this is now not just a parliamentary disaster but a diplomatic one - and that’s the government’s responsibility.

“Whatever the Speaker might or might not have done, Canada caused grave offence by having such a person present for Mr. Zelensky’s speech. In such matters, the prime minister speaks for the country, and must apologize on the country’s behalf.”
