The Weekly Essentials | 04-08-2022

In by Right Response Staff

Right Response Ministries has produced hundreds of high-quality videos/podcasts. So for your convenience, every Friday we provide a list of our top five videos for the week. Each of these videos are personally selected by Pastor Joel Webbon. He has insisted that we not merely highlight our most popular content, but the content that he believes is most vital for Christians to be convicted, emboldened, and encouraged. May God use this content to bless you richly.

 

#1 OUR PERSONAL TESTIMONIES | WITH PASTOR JOEL WEBBON, JON HARRIS & AD ROBLES

BONUS EPISODE: Jon Harris ( @Conversations That Matter ), @AD Robles, and Pastor Joel Webbon share their “origin stories” and why they began each of their podcasts.

#2 DOES OBEDIENCE ALWAYS BRING BLESSING IN THIS LIFE?

Can those who commit to practical obedience to Christ’s commandments expect to receive a blessing from God in this life? If so, is this blessing a guarantee? What about those who experience suffering and/or are persecuted for their faithfulness? Jon Harris ( @Conversations That Matter ) and @AD Robles answer questions submitted by a live audience during our 2022 conference called “Resisting Tyranny and Wokeness."

#3 A COMPLIANT NATION IS A FEARFUL NATION, AND A FEARFUL NATION IS A GUILTY NATION | HEBREWS 2:14-18

There is a growing group of men who want to take a courageous stand against tyranny in all its forms. However, many of these men are in financial debt and/or work for woke corporations, instead of working for themselves. In other words, these men’s attempts to resist tyranny would be sawing off the limb they’re currently sitting on. If Christian men are going to fight, they need to be independent. Fighting men are free men.

#4 PROOF THAT COVID POLICY HARMED MORE PEOPLE THAN COVID | WITH JEFF CHILDERS

In this episode of Theology Applied, Pastor Joel Webbon is joined once again by Jeff Childers (Author of “Coffee & Covid”). Childers provides clear statistics for why our elites’ reaction to Covid was more harmful than Covid itself. Childers also issues a chilling warning of what we may soon discover as the true costs of the vaccines.

#5 HOW YOUR BIBLE STUDY HELPED DESTROY AMERICA

Christians in America have insisted that Scripture has limitless INTERPRETATIONS, but limited APPLICATIONS. In other words, we have embraced RELATIVISM in our exegesis of Scripture, while insisting that Scripture must ONLY be applied to the HOME and the CHURCH. Meanwhile, the rest of society is falling apart. And we justify this degradation of our society with our ESCHATOLOGY. Christians in America continue to champion PREMILLENNIALISM, excusing the church’s responsibility for the downfall of our culture by consoling ourselves with the notion that things are supposed to get worse and worse until Jesus returns. This is nothing more than a recipe for disaster, a SELF-FULFILLING PROPHECY.

A SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM PASTOR JOEL WEBBON

Unfortunately, 2021 did not provide the relief that many were hoping for. Instead of the promised return to normalcy, tyranny and deception have become commonplace. From vaccine mandates to record-high inflation, our current political elites have made it abundantly clear that they have no concern for the public. And yet, God’s goodness has continued to shine through. More and more people are waking up to reality and joining the fight for liberty and truth.

However, there still appears to be a problem. On the one hand, there are Evangelicals who claim to love the Gospel, while consistently echoing the talking points of neo-Marxists. And on the other hand, there are Conservatives that champion many Christian values, while rejecting Christ as the source of all that is good. Our world desperately needs Christians who believe the whole Bible and are committed to applying it to every area of life. From family to church, and culture to politics, we must hold fast to the sufficiency of Scripture.

This is our goal: To equip Christians with a thoroughly biblical worldview, and teach them to apply it to every area of life.

To this end, we humbly ask that you would prayerfully consider partnering with Right Response Ministries. Right Response Ministries is seeking to continue to be a voice of reason in a world that has gone mad, but we cannot accomplish this without your help.
