Churches are using it, but we will discuss why this is not a good idea and the origins of the Enneagram. Hint: It's from the occult.

We pray you all had a lovely Resurrection Day!

Join us as we discuss what the Bible says about God's love, what God hates, and how the use of the term "God is Love" is misused in today's culture. We pray you are encouraged and blessed by this episode to know that when you accept Christ, God's wrath is satisfied by the precious blood of Jesus! There is joy and peace knowing we are saved by grace through Christ's blood.

Join us as we discuss the gifts of the Spirit. What the Bible says, how they are abused at times within the church, and our own experiences. There are many misuses of the Gifts happening today, but we should strive to edify, encourage and build up the church body with whatever gift God has blessed us with.

In today's culture (which is nothing new to God) false teachers, prophets and Apostles abound. In this episode we discuss what Scripture says about false teachers. We discuss our own experiences in these movements as well as encourage you to examine all teachers of the Word THROUGH the Word.

In today's world, God Sovereignty is constantly undermined. Many claim that God needs us and diminishes God to a state of needing something, lacking something and unable to do His Will without our (puny human) help. We will discuss this with Scripture. We should have peace knowing God is Sovereign and knows all. That God's Will is perfect. He is the GOD of all lower case "g" gods. *cough* false gods.

For the Father up above is looking down in love, oh be careful little members what you do! Today we talk about a topic that many Believers cling to in a defensive way. This is not us "clutching our pearls" and shouting at people, this is research, experience and a warning that what we do with our bodies is a huge example to the world and the origins of a certain practice can lead down the rabbit hole to New Age practices and further. God cares about every aspect of our lives and our witness. He cares about what we do with our bodies.
