DOES GOD NEED KANYE WEST TO FURTHER THE GOSPEL?

Voddie Baucham Says God Doesn’t Need Celebrities Like Kanye West to Advance the Gospel

In a breath of fresh air, Voddie Baucham touches on the bizarre fascination with celebrity Christianity. While we should appreciate and praise God any time someone comes to Christ for salvation, the interesting phenomenon is that Christians tend to think that when celebrities become Christians, God is somehow more able to use them and their platform than He could without them. Voddie Baucham demolishes this mindset.
While Baucham didn’t mention West by name, it’s profoundly obvious that he and others like him are on his mind. It is actually much more refreshing that God has placed men like Baucham to speak truth into the culture and the Church than men like West who, since his claim to Christianity, has done nothing but compromise.

WHAT IS GRAVE SUCKING ?

Have you heard of Grave Sucking? Can the  Word of Faith  hyper-charismatic crowd get any more bizarre? What is with this new  occult  sounding practice often referred to as  grave sucking ? When I first heard of grave sucking I assumed it must be a joke.  Surely no one would buy into something so silly.  Well my friends, this is for real.  Grave sucking or mantle grabbing is the belief and practice of pulling the supposed Holy Spirit powers from the dead bones of a previously empowered believer.  It is taught that when a Spirit empowered individual dies their mantle or mission dies with them.  In other words God’s mission for that believer was thwarted when that believer died. “ There are anointings , mantles, revelations and mysteries that have lain unclaimed, literally where they were left because the generation that walked in them never passed them on . I believe it’s possible for us to recover realms...

WHO IS THE SON OF MAN TO YOU?

Matthew 16:13-18 Jesus asked his disciples two questions when he was with them in the region of Caesarea. The first question was directed to the people outside his circle, hence he said, “Who do men say that I am?”  After they answered him, he redirected the question this time to his inner circle. “Who do you think I the son of man am?” Jesus asked his closest followers. This interaction shows us a certain number of things. The world has always been divided into two poles; the believers and the non-believers; those on the outside of Jesus’ influence and those on the inside of his influence; those that are close to him and those that aren’t. The scriptures use the expressions Jews and gentiles to adequately show this dichotomy. There are those that are in Christ and there are those that aren’t. There are those that are in Adam and there are those that are in Christ.Those that are in Christ’s inner circle have a different understanding of who He is than those that are wit...

ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED ?

Listen to a discussion about eternal security and you’ll eventually hear this question: “Are you saying that since we’re secure as Christians, we can do whatever we want to?” It’s the “once saved, always saved” idea that says, once you are saved, you’re saved no matter how you may behave. But the question really misunderstands the biblical teaching about our sin and God’s grace in our lives. Pursuing Godliness Christians have struggled over the years with the best way to deal with sin in their lives. That struggle has produced unbiblical doctrines that promise to “aid” Christians along with their own endeavors to obtain personal godliness. Perhaps you have encountered some of them. One of the more notorious false doctrines is perfectionism. It’s the belief that we can obtain perfect sinlessness in this life. In his book,  The Vanishing Conscience , John MacArthur describes the dangers of Christian perfectionism, Church history is littered with examples of sects and factions...
