Children of God Through Faith With Donnie Denton

Juliana Buhring nació dentro de Children of God, uno de los cultos más controversiales del mundo, del cual también formó parte la familia de Joaquin Phoenix. En esta conversación hablamos sobre cómo fue crecer dentro de una secta, el control mental, la religión, el miedo, la ignorancia, la tecnología, los algoritmos y cómo logró reconstruir su vida hasta convertirse en récord mundial por darle la vuelta al mundo en bicicleta.

"Living as Children of God," Rom. 8:7-17, Rev J.D. Meeder.

It is not in heaven, that you should say, ‘Who will ascend into heaven for us and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it?' Nor is it beyond the sea, that you should say, ‘Who will go over the sea for us and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it?' But the word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart, that you may do it” (Deuteronomy 30:11-14).Freshly written and sent out immediately "morning by morning" from the morning prayer time of Tommy Hays each day.God bless you and you have a great day!—Tommy Hays | Messiah Ministrieshttp://messiah-ministries.org

The words of the Bible help us experience a relationship with God. As a church we are learning to let our lives be shaped by the Sciripture's as God's living words. Sometimes in life we doubt that God really cares, and struggle to grow in the things that we know are best for us. Join us this Sunday as we meditate on a verse that teaches us how God welcomes us and gives us a new identity as children of God.

In this episode, we see that Jesus came to his own people and they did not receive Him, but those who did receive Him, He made children of God!

We take a look at 1 John 2, today in our 1-2-3 series; where we study the later epistles of the apostle John and where we look at what they mean for the foundation of our Christian walk. Our core concept we want to remember is that walking with Jesus means letting Him lead. Part of knowing God better and trusting Him more is letting Him guide our lives. One of the biggest areas that we have to let God lead in is teaching and showing us what it is to love properly. As John moves on in this chapter, we see him draw the connection between loving God properly and have a fruitful, unifying life with other believers. The inverse of which shows that if you hate your brother or sister, then the love of the Father is not in you and you are still in darkness. See, a divided love divides your life. And those who sow division and darkness are called anti-Christs. we need to watch out for anti-Christs. Ultimately, to be lead by Jesus means knowing that He is the way and the destination. - Key Verses // 3 John 1:4, 1 John 2 - For Sermon Notes, the Connect Card, and our other online resources: https://linktr.ee/Celebrationchurchlive

5.17.26 | Pastor Dane Olney

In the late 1960's, "The Children of God" indoctrinated members into a religious movement; teaching that their perverse sexual exploits were God's will. Founder David Berg's son, Ricky, was meant to become the heir to his father's radicalized empire, but instead, Ricky sought justice for himself and the others that had suffered abuse while in the cult.Instagram: @CousinsonCrimePodcastEmail: CousinsonCrime@gmail.comTheme Music by AleXZavesaFor Bonus Content, Join our Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/CousinsOnCrimeCheck out our merch store! https://cousinsoncrime-shop.fourthwall.com/?Sources:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ricky_Rodriguezhttps://www.theguardian.com/world/2005/jan/23/usa.paulharrishttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Family_Internationalhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karen_Zerbyhttps://youtu.be/KSs1JL0EM?si=USiht5v5uIqo6BNhttps://youtu.be/Yp4r_lPtfuc?si=DiDHyM9SlXXc0SaU

What does it mean to live as a child of God? In Part 5 of So That You May Know, we continue through 1 John and are reminded of the incredible love God has for us. Through Jesus, we are invited into a new identity as sons and daughters of God—not because we are perfect, but because we are deeply loved and fully forgiven.This message explores how the gospel adopts us, transforms us, and teaches us to live in the family of God. Instead of striving to earn love or approval, we are invited to rest in the love of the Father and allow Him to continue changing us over time.Questions for Reflection:• Am I living from the love of God, or still trying to earn it?• What old patterns or identities might God be inviting me to leave behind as I grow in Him?

Everyone is created in God's image, but only those who have been called to follow Jesus have become children of God—and that identity changes everything. In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef anchors your heart in the Father's lavish love (1 John 3:1) and the unshakable security that flows from belonging to Christ. Because you are His: you can fight temptation through the power of the Holy Spirit, you can have peace in turmoil, you can contend for the faith with courage, and you can rest knowing no one can snatch you from God's hand (John 10:28–29) and nothing can separate you from His love (Romans 8:38–39). That security also confronts complacency. Dr. Youssef reminds us that true believers cannot habitually live in careless disobedience. We may still struggle with sin, but conviction drives us back to confession and repentance—and gratitude compels us to submit to the whole counsel of God's Word. Finally, this devotional clarifies a vital tension in today's culture: God's love does not muddy Truth. Love does not excuse false teaching or “baptize” sin into the Church. Love speaks the Truth—even when it's unpopular—because the Gospel is the power of God for salvation (Romans 1:16). If you've felt intimidated by accusations of narrow-mindedness, this episode will strengthen you to stand firm, love freely, and contend faithfully. Prayer: Lord, embolden me to proclaim Your Truth in love, that more might come to know eternal life in Christ. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. “To those who have been called, who are loved in God the Father and kept for Jesus Christ: Mercy, peace and love be yours in abundance” (Jude 1:1-2). Learn more in Dr. Michael A. Youssef's sermon series Truth: The Most Endangered Species: LISTEN NOW The voice you hear on the MY Devotional podcast is digitally generated with Dr. Youssef's permission. If today's devotional stirred a question, burden, or need for prayer, you don't have to walk through it alone.

Is America a cult? How can we help those trapped in cult-like thinking? Discussing her new book The Culting of America, Daniella Mestyanik Young, a US Army veteran, intelligence officer, and survivor of the notorious Children of God cult, joins Gaslit Nation to help us identify coercive control in our own lives, and in our White House.  Daniella breaks down the "sex cult math" of her upbringing, identifying the same tactics of coercive control now fueling the MAGA movement. Trump has pulled disparate groups into a singular cult of personality, where he is viewed as a "flawed vessel" of a "perfect God" delivering a Christian theocracy coming after our rights.  As a counter-terrorism expert, Daniella warns that the "arrogance" of Trump and his son-in-law Jared Kushner's war of choice in Iran is a classic cult leader trap. Tyrants lose when they start "sampling their own Kool-Aid," she points out. She also advises on how to help those in your life who have fallen down the conspiracy theory rabbit hole of cult-like thinking, to help them find their way to reality. This is an episode not to miss.  Save the date! At the Gaslit Nation Salon on Monday May 11 4pm ET, we'll start with a special reading of an excerpt of one of Andrea's screenplays.

You're not just forgiven—you're family. This week we continue in Romans 8 and unpack what it actually means to be a child of God. The Spirit leads us to fight sin, cry out to God as Father, and live as heirs of everything He owns—even when life is hard. Suffering doesn't mean something's gone wrong; it means you belong to Him. If you've been living like an orphan when God has made you a son or daughter, this message is for you.

Those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. [NIV]

By William Bradford - In the days leading up to Pentecost, it's good to reflect on the way God's Spirit bears witness with our spirit.

[Recorded on 4/16/26] What does it mean to be a child of God? That phrase can be tossed around lightly or be totally unfamiliar, but it's actually central to what it means to follow Jesus. God's Word tells us we are either children of God or children of the devil, and there is a clear best option. Come and hear about the great love God offers to us in this week of So You Know!

Sermon preached by John Folmar at the Evangelical Christian Church of Dubai on 1 John 2:28-3:10.

Celeste Gross joins the girls to talk about her experiences growing up in the Children of God - aka the Family - along with her many siblings. She explains how her parents joined when it still just seemed like a beautiful gospel movement that helped her dad get sober, but how it changed over time once they lived on a commune in Brazil and became reliant on donations for survival. She shares how every part of life was controlled–down to how many squares of toilet paper they were allowed to use.They discuss the media ban the group imposed, and how only songs and TV shows made by the group were allowed--other than two very specific movies (which will surprise you). She shares how her family became homeless overnight after they finally left, and the extreme hardships they faced while trying to rebuild a life from nothing.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

God loves us so much that He calls us His own children. One day, we will see Christ in all of His glory and be made like Him. With this hope in mind, we purify ourselves until His return.
