@MandyMatney@elizfarrell@TheEricBland I’m sure you’ve seen this article, you’re more on top of it all than I am😊✔️ but I thought I’d pass it along after listening to COJ

@MandyMatney I love these two brothers, but Travis never really admitted to being wrong, just “I can’t get that fired up”. I just wish he would’ve apologized to all that watched & then had to explain to our children why this should never happen (IMO)
@Jake0705@PastorMark Luke 22:3 states that “Satan entered Judas”. Satan can’t enter if you are a child of God. Jesus said in John 10:28 - And I give them eternal life, and they will never, ever(by any means perish); and no one will ever snatch them out of my hand.
The He Gets Us ad is intentionally provocative trying to counter message the conservative church and attract people they feel are turned off to Jesus. It's the classic seeker sensitive model which is usually half right and half wrong. They’re right that Jesus isn’t a "hater," but He does hate sin. They’re right that you are free to come as you are, with all your sin. But the Truth of the Gospel is much closer to “Jesus loves you too much to leave you in your sorry state.” Come as you are but don’t stay as you are. Jesus didn’t die on a cross because He gets us, but to save us. The impression the ad leaves is that Jesus loves you for you, and that’s it! But Jesus also commanded us to “go now and sin no more.”
Maybe that’s asking too much out of a :60 ad, but I’m reminded of a recent discussion I had on the Whatever Podcast. One of the other panelists was an OnlyFans girl who wears a big cross, even in her videos. She was asked if she believed God approves of her career choice. She eventually said “probably not” but that Jesus accepts her anyway.
This is where this type of message leads in the minds and hearts of millions of everyday people, when in reality, the Gospel requires your whole life and it demands true repentance. The Gospel is so powerful that you can't help but be transformed when you encounter it.
Half truths are not the Truth, but a lie. Pray that those who were compelled by the ad would find themselves in a church that preaches the whole Gospel.
@charliekirk11 They were given every chance to amend or qualify their answers.
They did not.
Here is 3 1/2 minutes of testimony that should cost each of these university presidents their jobs.
@kelsieswrites@ChrisSnowCGY I am so sorry @kelsieswrites May the Lord wrap you in His love, grace & peace. May your family & friends shower you with love as you walk this road
@PastorMark We are in a series “the questions Jesus asked”. This week was “Why Do You Trouble Her?” From when Mary poured the perfume on Jesus’ head. So powerful!!
@SelahOnline I am looking for printed music, orchestration, etc for your beautiful song, “There Is A Fountain”. Is there somewhere it can be purchased? I’m having no luck finding it. Thank you!
@garonnevik We’ve homeschooled to high school with each of ours. Our last one entered high school this year (we have 9). 25 years of homeschooling done. I miss mine being little🙂, but so proud of who they are & are becoming!
