Stages of Subversion in the Church This strategy of subversion through worldly influences has progressed through several overlapping stages, some of which are only now being completed in our current generation. The first stage is *penetration* (or “worming in”). In this phase, our agents infiltrate Christian groups and organizations with the intent…

1 Corinthians 14:8: The Call to Clarity and Purpose in Our Communication Dear Beloved in Christ, As we gather today, I invite you to turn your hearts and minds to the profound wisdom found in 1 Corinthians 14:8, which states, “If the trumpet does not sound a clear call, who will get ready for battle?” This verse, though brief, carries immense signi…

The Role of the Holy Spirit: Conviction and Transformation Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, Today, we gather in the spirit of fellowship and faith to explore a profound truth found in the Gospel of John, specifically John 16:8. This verse reads: “And when He comes, He will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment.” As we …

Guiding Sheep to Heaven; Books on spiritual warfare are a dime a dozen. It’s a popular topic because every faithful Christian is assaulted by the unceasing attacks of the world and the devil in his or her day-to-day life. The shelves of my local Christian bookstore are cluttered with self-help material listing ways to subdue temptation and prevent …

One of the five rallying cries of the Reformation was the statement that we are saved by faith alone—sola fide! These words declared that salvation does not come from looking at our own works of righteousness, but from looking outside ourselves to another, to the person and work of Jesus Christ. This statement grew out of a desire to return to the …

Unwavering Faith” ; Romans 1:2–5; There are few questions that have arisen over the course of human history that have caused more controversy than, “Who is Jesus?” As you well know, there is a wide variety of opinions on this matter, but not for Paul. The gospel he preached has as much to do with who Jesus is as it does with what He did. By the sec…

The Devil's Methods; But allow me to delve a little deeper into the topic. How does the devil provoke wars? First of all, the devil produces rebellion. He attacks the mind, and that was the original temptation: rebellion. When God established His law for man and woman in the garden, the devil questioned it immediately. Rebellion! Set aside law and …

Confía en el Dios que Se Preocupa por Ti Parte 2 El apóstol Pedro les dijo a los creyentes que sufrían que echaran “toda [su] ansiedad sobre él [Dios], porque él tiene cuidado de [ellos]” (1 Pedro 5:7). Por donde quiera que mires en la Biblia, Dios le da a su pueblo imágenes que describen las maneras en las que se ocupa por su pueblo. Según el Salm…

Confía en el Dios que Se Preocupa por Ti Sufrir de ansiedad y ataques de pánico puede hacernos sentir incapacitados. Los sentimientos de temor y pánico son sumamente reales y fuertes, y parecen imposibles de resolver. La ansiedad y el pánico parecen surgir de la nada. Ni siquiera sabes qué estás pensando, y de repente, entras en pánico. El problema…

TYPES OF WITCHCRAFT IN THE CHURCH part 2 Rebellion For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. – 1 Samuel 15:23a KJV Witchcraft in the church is not always the result of imposters from the local coven engaging in the congregation, although we will look at the subject of “witch plants” in a later section.…

Witchcraft In Church You wouldn’t expect to find witchcraft operating within the church, but it is. The enemy well understands the power and authority that Christ gave the church even if we do not. The devil passionately covets that power and authority. He can’t obtain it though, unless we submit to him, so he deceitfully infiltrates, setting snare…

The Holy Spirit: Our Divine Helper When you trusted the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior, you probably thought things were going to be rather easy for you. It just may be that things got tougher for you and, as a result, you began to question God. Where was He? Why didn't He answer your prayers? Why didn't He keep His Word? Well, He has kept His Wo…

The Crisis in Eschatology: Understanding the End of the Age As we continue now with our study of the crisis in eschatology, the point I want to look at in this session is this question: When Jesus spoke about His coming at the end of the age, did He mean by that phrase the 'end of the age'? The end of world history, or was He talking more specifica…

The Significance of the Number 40 in the Bible The Bible is rich with symbolism and meaning, and one of the most intriguing aspects is the use of numbers.

The Trinity There’s no tenet more fundamental to Christianity than the doctrine of the Trinity, since it speaks to the identity of the God whom we worship. It’s a simple fact that we cannot worship One whom we don’t know. Thus, God’s self-disclosure to humans is relationally-focused; it’s given for the purpose of our coming to know him and having l…

FIRST SIGHT OF THE CROSS: Mark 10:46-52 It is hard for us to imagine the anticipation of the crowds that followed Jesus as he went up to Jerusalem for the last time. The buildup of their expectation was something you could almost feel. There was electricity in the air. Everyone knew that something special was about to happen. Great crowds of people…

Who Is Christ? In the person of Jesus God physically entered into our world. An infinite God came to live in a finite world. The one who knew exactly how things were supposed to be came to a place where things obviously weren’t. In Jesus God and man became one person, a person unlike anyone else the world has ever seen or will ever see. Jesus Chris…

What Is Sin? Sin disrupts everything. We don’t live the lives we were originally designed to live, and we don’t live in the world we were originally designed to live in. Sin mars the image of God in us; we no longer reflect the perfection God created us to reflect. Because of sin, things simply aren’t the way they were originally meant to be. The s…

What Is Man? After God created the plants and animals on the earth, he had one more thing to create, the pinnacle of his creation: So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it and have d…

What Are Angels, Satan, and Demons? Up to this point, when discussing God’s creation, we have limited our discussion to the physical realm. But there are also spiritual creatures God has created called angels and demons. Satan, a demon himself, is considered the head of the demons. Angels Angels are created spiritual beings with moral judgment and …

This week on Mission Compass, Tim’s daughter Aurora joins the show to recap the past year she spent teaching in South Africa, near the border of Lesotho. Stan Jeter shares a GNA story from India, and how you can help capture stories of what God is doing around the world, just using your smartphone.

What Is Prayer? One of the ways God allows his creation to stay involved with him is through prayer. Prayer, which is personal communication from us to God, not only helps us know about God but also helps us truly know God. Through prayer we can communicate our requests to God, confess our sins to God, and give adoration, praise, and thanksgiving t…

What Is Creation? Where did the universe come from? And what is its purpose? Should we think of the creation as good or as evil? In this chapter we seek to understand how God created the universe, what kind of universe he created, and how we should think of the creation today. The Created Creation God created the universe out of nothing; nothing bu…

What Is the Trinity? Sometimes people use three different names when referring to God: God or Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. But these are more than simply different names for one person; they are, in fact, the names of three very distinct persons. But even though God the Father, God the Son (Jesus), and God the Holy Spirit have eternal…

How to be Saved, To be reconciled to God, we must choose Jesus as our personal Lord and Savior; we must believe that he is the only begotten Son of the Father (John 14:6). When he came to earth, he was born of a virgin, being entirely God and entirely man. He lived among us, being tempted in all points as we are, yet untainted by sin. In this way, …

HOW WILL THIS BE? Luke 1:26-38 “How will this be?” That is a question we often ask. How are all these things in the Bible possible? Are these incredible miracles true? Does the supernatural really occur? How can this be? How? Mary can help us today. Mary is an example of faith. She heard the Word of God and she believed it. “I am the Lord’s servant…

“The Son of God Appeared to Destroy the Works of the Devil.” In the three Sundays of Advent leading up to that message I want to talk about three typical works to the devil. If we have a sober awareness of some of Satan’s most common works, we will appreciate Christmas all the more, because Christmas is a celebration of the truth that the Son of Go…

The Gospel of Luke, or simply Luke, tells of the origins, birth, ministry, death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus Christ. Together with the Acts of the Apostles, it makes up a two-volume work which scholars call Luke–Acts and together they account for 27.5% of the New Testament. Most modern scholars agree that the traditional view is that it w…

LA PALABRA DE FE Algunas de nuestras supuestas oraciones no son las oraciones normales que solemos dar. Son lo que la Biblia llama una “palabra de fe”. La palabra de fe es cuando hablamos directamente de la situación, como Jesús enseñó en Mateo capítulo diecisiete. Una oración es cuando hacemos una petición a Dios. Esta breve “oración o palabra de …
