Jesus does not lower the bar for Christians in the New Covenant. If anything, the bar has been raised exponentially. There are far greater promises for those who have faith in Christ, but terrible warnings for unbelief. Sadly, the American Church today has no shortage of false converts. There are many who “profess” Christ, but do not “possess” Christ. And the threat of judgment for these individuals is terrifying.
Calling Out “Woke” Pastors! (Yes, We Name Them) | with Jon Harris
A few months ago, Pastor Joel Webbon produced an episode of Theology Applied with special guest, Justin Peters, titled “Calling Out False Teachers By Name.” In this episode, Pastor Joel chose NOT to call out certain major leaders in American Evangelicalism who have been pedaling the “woke gospel,” also known as the “social-justice gospel.” Since that time, Pastor Joel has …
Covenant Theology, Postmil Eschatology, & The Substance Of Christ
It is not as though Old Testament saints received only victory, while New Testament saints receive only persecution. Virtually all Old Testament saints experienced some measure of victory, but with much defeat. And all New Testament saints experience some measure of defeat, but with an ever progressing amount of victory throughout the Gospel Age.
Law, Gospel, & Democrat-Pharisees
The Church has never had a monopoly on self-righteousness. A person can be religious and self-righteous, and a person can be completely pagan and self-righteous. In today’s culture, we have far more of the latter.
The Tabernacle, The Mercy Seat, & 1689 Federalism
The Tabernacle (and later the Temple) was constructed under the direction of Moses, according to the detailed instructions he received from God on Mount Sinia (or Mount Horeb). The “First Section” of the Tabernacle (the Holy Place), stands in distinction from the “Second Section” (the Most Holy Place, or the Holy of Holies). This is not meant to signify two …
Milk vs. Meat
2 For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the basic principles of the oracles of God. You need milk, not solid food, 13 for everyone who lives on milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, since he is a child.” Hebrews 5:12-13 ESV
How Empathy Ruined America
Jesus is the merciful High Priest because he sympathizes with our weakness. But Jesus is NOT an “Empathetic” High Priest. Empathy only makes problems worse.
The Effeminate, Minimalist, Pagan Church In America
Churches in America are falling all around us. From Mars Hill to Hillsong, it’s all crumbling down. But at the same time, the True Church in America, and all around the world, is thriving. So what’s the difference? In this sermon, Pastor Joel Webbon emphasizes some of the key distinctions between churches that fall and churches that thrive.
People Leaving HILLSONG Will Be FOOLED AGAIN If They Don’t Learn This One Lesson
The recent documentary, “Hillsong: A Mega Church Exposed,” utterly fails in its attempt to bring God’s true judgment to charlatans such as Brian Houston and Carl Lentz. This is because pagans are not fit to execute just judgments regarding spiritual matters. “When one of you has a grievance against another, does he dare go to law before the unrighteous instead …
Empty Preaching & Worthless Faith | 1 Corinthians 15:12-29
If Christ has not been raised then our preaching is both empty and a false witness against God. And if Christ is not raised our faith is empty and useless. It’s not going to do us any good. So what were these people in Corinth putting their faith in? They were like many people today who have faith that Jesus …
