The Three Most Common Temptations

In Podcasts
Scripture: 1 John 2:15-17Hebrews 11:24-26
Topics: Resisting Temptation, Worldliness, Contributor: Joel Webbon

The word “world” may be used to refer to the physical world (John 1:10) or to the people of the world collectively (1 John 2:2). In those senses, there is nothing immoral about Christians loving the world. However, John also uses the word “world” to refer to the evil, organized system under Satan, which operates through unbelieving people who have been taken captive to do his will. This demonic system is chiefly characterized by the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eye, and the boastful pride of life.

We don’t need a Conservative Resurgence, we need a Christian Reformation. Getting America back to the 90’s simply won’t do, we must get all the way back to the Scripture. National repentance is the only way, and it must start with the Church.

There are few men this ministry is more grateful for than Pastor John MacArthur. But although we heartily agree with much of his teaching and appreciate the vast majority of his impact on the global church, we respectfully disagree with his eschatology and approach to culture/politics. Ironically, despite MacArthur’s apparent bent towards “two-kingdom theology,” few men have had more of …

Ever heard someone try to prove Premillennialism by saying, “Just look at the world! Can’t you see how things keep getting worse?” Things do sometimes look bleak when we focus on one generation in one nation. However, when we survey the scope of the whole world over the past 2,000 years, things appear to be trending in the right direction.

What are your thoughts on the forthcoming MetaVerse from Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook? It appears to be essentially a modern day Tower of Babel. How should Christians engage with it? Is it sinful to “leave this world” to enter into Augmented Reality?

Jesus is not content with the private lordship of your precious little heart. Jesus is Lord of all. When Christians begin to live this way, persecution will come. Perhaps, Christians in America have experienced so little persecution in the past because our religion has been merely “spiritual” and never a threat to the culture.
