Biblical Thoughts on Billy Graham, by Zephaniah Mel, M.Div. The focus of this post is not for the purpose of debating the salvation of Billy Graham or the success he garnered, but a post to bring another perspective concerning the dangerous pitfalls of ecumenism (*[for this context] “an ideology that desires unity among all Christian
According to their Facebook page, Barcroft TV airs a program called “Extreme Love.” This particular decadent show is about ‘professing’ Christians that are “Christian wife swappers,” and that “Preach the Word of God through swinging.” Their video description field also reads, “This is God’s plan” Devout Christians Cristy and Dean Parave are spreading the word
The feminist #MeToo movement has become extremely narcissist and vindictive. But in this particular case, it has risen to the level of blasphemy. Whereas 47-year-old “Rabbi” Tamra Kolton of Birmingham, Michigan has not only participated in this #MeToo campaign, but worse, she has slandered and committed blasphemy against God. As she falsely professes that Eve,
As I labor though this expository teaching through the Psalms, I am confronted with verses 4-5 of chapter 5, and the Doctrine of God’s hatred of sin, as well as His hatred of some sinners (ouch). I also share the thoughts of many notable Theologians. I give an explanation and application of the Text, as
The outline is as follows. 1. In verses 1-3 the ‘Nations are raging’ (a Theological conspiracy theory) A. The formality of their rebellion (2:1) B. The force of their rebellion (2:2) C.

In this passage we teach, learn, or reaffirm (including but not limited to), about the driven, the doomed, and the damned (they are contrary to verses 1-3). We also learn more about Gods judgment, hell, and His wrath. We learn about the incidents of false converts in our congregations, and the ‘unbiblical soteriologies,’ that create
As I prepared for this expository study (other than one scholar), I studied under the teachings of scholars from the 1400’s up to the 1800’s. Therefore, this teaching will not be ‘watered down’ with contemporary fruffles. We will learn of the dangers of ‘walking’ with non-saved ‘friends.’ We will also learn how to ‘Biblically’ love
As it says in Jude, Christians are to “contend for the faith.” But it seems there’s an increasing need to ‘contend for soberness’ and sanctification amongst the brethren. I was told by a Pastor (who is a user, and ‘proponent’ of alcohol consumption), that he looks forward to, and “can’t wait” to literally drink “fine
This morning at one of my locations, I preached an unusual message to a good sized crowd. As I preached from Matthew 7, I specifically warned them and then apologized to the non-saved, for the poor witness of the many false converts across America. I then attributed this problem specifically to ‘unbiblical soteriologies,’ as I
It’s nice to see that Benny Hinn’s Nephew Costi Hinn, has come to realize the errs of his Uncle. The Doctrine of the Sufficiency of Scripture is an essential Doctrine. Even some of my Reformed friends (whom are big on Doctrine), seemed to have forgotten this Doctrine. They’ll read something in ‘another book’ (2 Cor
