"Dr. MacMullen ( Christianizing the Roman Empire ) states unequivocally that the main way[s] Rome was converted to Christianity were healing and, most especially, exorcism."  (Francis MacNutt, pg. 87, Healing Reawakening ) Professor Ramsey MacMullen – Retired Emeritus Professor of History, Yale University, He was called "the greatest historian of the Roman Empire alive today”. Interview with Ramsey MacMullen When we consider how the early Christians brought people to Christ, we might think of Paul’s preaching. One might think that this “method” was what subsequent generations of Christians employed, but IT AIN’T SO. It didn’t happen that way. My guess is that because of the persecution open preaching was simply too difficult most of the time. In contrast, what worked best was “one on one talk about the proofs of the truth of Christianity and by proofs, I mean EXORCISM above all. Christianity advertised its own particular powers through driving out demons that caused sick...

**POST SUMMARY** - only 1 of the 10 WHO authorized Covid-19 "Vaccines" is entirely free from being abortion-tainted and that is the Covaxin Vaccine by Bharat Biotech. For Covaxin, there is "no direct or indirect association with abortion" and can therefore be considered "ethically produced" Globally there are now a total of 10 so-called "vaccines" for Covid that have been approved by the WHO for Emergency Use - the main ones are: 1. Pfizer, 2. Moderna, 3. Johnson & Johnson/Janssen, 4. AstraZeneca/Oxford, 5. Corbevax, 6. Novavax, and 7. Covaxin. I put "vaccine" in quotes because none of them except Covaxin actually functions as a vaccine. In previous posts, I dealt with the fact that none of the accepted "vaccines" are ethically possible for Christians to endorse or use who are truly Pro-Life.   1. "Abortion and the so-called Covid "Vaccines" (because they aren't vaccines but experimental gene therapies)...

The Apostle Paul EXPECTED Christians to be discerning...to TEST EVERYTHING !  He wrote to the Church in Thessalonica ( 1 Thessalonians 5:19-23):  19 Do not quench the Spirit. 20 Do not despise prophecies, 21 but test EVERYTHING ; hold fast what is good. 22 Abstain from every form of evil. 23 Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. I believe that this verse does not simply apply to "prophetic words", but actually the Apostle wanted followers of Jesus to be testing EVERYTHING.  He didn't qualify what was to be tested so I'm going to go with the broadest possible interpretation. I don't think we will get rebuked for testing too many things by the Lord.  It has been said that Jesus and the Apostles spoke 6X more about deception than about persecution as they sought to prepare future disciples for the future. I don't know who added the verses up...

I hear it all the time..."You are too political." "You need to avoid certain topics." "Just focus on the Gospel." Either I hear this directly or indirectly and I KNOW that far more are thinking it.  But what are we to do? One of the reasons that we are in the mess we are today - is because the vast majority of the pulpits were/are silent about the critical issues of our day. The radical left continues to push their godless, demonic policies - from expanding abortion, to LGBT and transgender-related, to being soft on crime, to advocating open borders where drugs and human sex trafficking thrive, and of course the multiple ways they have been and continue to be wrong regarding COVID and the treatments surrounding it.  Remdesivir is a toxic, ineffective drug that has literally killed a huge percentage of the people who were hospitalized with Covid, and put on respirators while being given Remdesivir. One statistic is that literally more than 50% of the people...

Covid "Vaccine" injuries and deaths are exploding. The fact that many are unaware of what is happening is indicative of how deeply deceived many continue to be. Eventually, it will be undeniable that the inexplicable conditions and deaths are being caused by the shots. It has been one of the hardest things to watch as a Christian - to see countless people that I know and love, many of who are committed Christians, subject themselves to these toxic shots which cause permanent damage and will lead many to premature deaths. So, what can we do? How can we respond or should we respond since so many have taken these experimental gene therapies?  In light of what we know, from their toxicity to the aborted fetal cells utilized in all of their development and testing, it is critical that Christians who took these shots repent for what they have done. Some did it out of fear. Others were manipulated. Possibly the worst case was those who KNEW they were dangerous and yet PRESUMED that ...

A consistent theme in this blog for many years has been that "Humility attracts heaven" - The key verse being, "God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble" (James 4:6/1 Peter 5:5) Grace is divine enablement - God's ability being given to us - and WHO gets that? THE HUMBLE. What do the proud get? They get God opposing them! We already have the devil and his angels opposing us, the full arsenal of the kingdom of darkness...and yet, if we are proud, the Holy Trinity Himself opposes us! Why is this not one of the most preached sermons in the Church? It seems to me that this is such a key teaching that 2 of the most influential leaders in the 1st century church - the Apostle Peter and James the brother of Jesus, who led the Church in Jerusalem.  But then this morning, another passage was highlighted by none other than the most influential leader in history, the Lord Jesus Himself...why I never 'saw' this verse before, I am not sure. Maybe it i...

At no time since the 1970s has "The End is Near" theological camp been so energized. Advocates of this viewpoint, especially the particular one that advocates a Pre-Tribulation Rapture (a subcategory of the Premillennial/Futurist viewpoint), have been filling up their conferences in recent months. Podcasts, YouTube videos, and many articles are appearing as they are producing lots of content. And many Christians are being influenced. Their books are flying off the shelves and I'm sure a lot of money is being made! The current Russian/Ukraine conflict has them talking a lot about the Gog Magog War mentioned in the Book of Revelation which prompted the Jerusalem Post to post an article at the beginning of March entitled, "Has Biblical Gog and Magog War Begun?" (Source: https://www.jpost.com/christianworld/article-699085). This particular viewpoint believed that the prophecies of Scripture were to be fulfilled at some point in the future (why it is called Futurist)...
