False Prophets Are Ravenous Wolves Deserving Public Rebuke
Thursday, January 14, 2021 @ 8:51 AM
It seems unlikely that America’s deep fractures will heal quickly, and sorting out political culpability may take some time – even for the Christian community. Yet, one group has clearly and rightfully earned the rebuke of the church. That demographic consists of the many who prophecied wrongly about the election and aftermath.
Virtually everyone in church circles (and beyond) can most likely identify some sort of “prophecy” from God that somehow found its way to their inbox or feed. The mark of godly prophecy in Scripture is that it’s never wrong. False prophets don’t have that kind of track record. Yet are they publicly admonished?
The Courage to Live While Not Dying
Wednesday, December 23, 2020 @ 8:26 AM
All too many faces this Christmas seemed tinged with fear. While the year itself will ignobly bear the stigma of heartache and challenges for generations to come, people’s anguish seems deeper than even COVID-19.
Despair and dread reflect a condition of the soul that circumstances unexpectedly (and undesirably) reveal. As long as the illusion of wrapping one’s arm around a problem remains, a false sense of serenity seems enough to keep trepidation at bay.
For millennia, lives regularly bear great uncertainty during each day; it’s the human condition. The virus, however, allowed the human condition to be exposed simultaneously in every human being at once. Although history records numerous plagues, none have ever swept the entire race while the whole planet watched in real time.
