= A New Testament Pastor is a Shepherd (points to his task)= A New Testament Pastor is an Overseer (points to his authority)= A New Testament Pastor is an Elder (points to his maturity) = Hebrews 13:7; 17 - congregation to pastor and pastor to congregation. I. Intensity & Intentionality Required - 1. Flee - Run from the wrong things 2. Pursue - Run to the right things 3. Fight the good fight (I Tim 6:11-12) 4. PO/PO - Ephesians 4 5. Flee - James 4:7 • We run away from sin (sanctification), but Satan runs away from you (submission) II.

Ezra 7:10, The hand of the Lord is upon him because He SET HIS HEART to (3): Rigorous study; Regular obedience; Robust teaching. • Not resentful - (patient when wronged). Many commentators noted that this is one of the most difficult challenges of a pastor. What is the key to being faithful to this verse? Making sure ministry is about His Name; His Word; His Will. It's not about us. • Correcting opponents w/ gentleness - (correcting carefully) - Look to Joseph of Genesis and Jesus of Nazareth! Genesis 50:20; I Peter 2:21-23 3. Must Trust God when correcting: We must trust God to change people - We follow His commands • God will grant them repentance • God will lead them to the knowledge of the truth • They will come to their senses - • They will escape from the trap of the devil - “who has taken them captive to do his will.”

The post Exposing False Teaching: A Biblical Guide to Discerning Truth from Error appeared first on Straight Truth Podcast.
This episode examines how false teaching arises wherever Scripture is distorted or removed from its rightful place of authority. Drawing from the errors of the word of faith movement and the claims of the prosperity gospel, the discussion shows how biblical discernment begins with a right view of God's Word. When believers interpret Scripture in context and submit to its inerrant and sufficient truth, they are protected from error, strengthened in their faith, and anchored in sound doctrine. This conversation calls Christians to embrace a Word-centered life and to test every message by the Scriptures.

Some practical tips for discerning calls to Holy Orders and other kinds of ministerial service.
Rev. Ann-Henley Nicholson serves as Vice President of Enrollment Management and Vocational Outreach at Columbia Theological Seminary in Decatur, Georgia. Ann-Henley grew up worshipping in the pews at Second Presbyterian Church in Roanoke, Virginia. She didn't imagine then that she'd later experience a call to ministry, yet God is always faithful and often full of surprises. After graduating from the University of Virginia, she pursued her passion for theatre in New York before heading to Princeton Seminary to follow her call to ministry. Upon graduating, she served First Presbyterian Church of Atlanta before returning to Princeton Seminary to become their Director of Alumni Relations. In her role at Columbia, she enjoys identifying the next generation of pastoral leaders and worshipping with communities like ours.
Welcome to Day 2731 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom Day 2731– A Discerning Life – Distinguishing Truth from Error – 1 John 4:1-6 Putnam Church Message – 10/12/2025 Sermon Series: 1, 2, & 3 John “Distinguishing Truth from Error " Last week, we continued through the letter of 1 John and explored how to have “A Discerning Life: Not Like Cain, But Like Christ!" This week, we continue through the letter of 1 John, and we will explore how to have “Distinguishing Truth from Error” from 1 John 4:1-6 from the NIV, which is found on page 1902 of your Pew Bibles. Discerning False Prophets 4 Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ>has come in the flesh is from God, 3 but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world. 4 You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. 5 They are from the world and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world, and the world listens to them. 6 We are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not from God does not listen to us. This is how we recognize the Spirit[a] of truth and the spirit of falsehood. Opening Prayer Some statements of Scripture haunt us. If we were to dwell on them too long, meditate on them too deeply, or obsess over them too frequently, they would keep us awake at night. It is much like most news sources and social media posts. We must determine truth from error. They warn of impending trouble for believers and alarming developments for the church. The following passages together paint a pretty bleak picture of the deteriorating world around us: “You will be hated all over the world because you are my followers.” ( 24:9) “And many false prophets will appear and will deceive many people.” ( 24:11) “Sin will be rampant everywhere, and the love of many will grow cold.” ( 24:12) “For false messiahs and false prophets will rise up and perform great signs and wonders so as to deceive, if possible, even God's chosen ones.” ( 24:24) “The time is coming when those who kill you will think they are doing a holy service for God.” (John 16:2) “I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.” (John...

"Transformation begins when I stop focusing on what's wrong with them and confessing what is wrong with me."This message takes us deep into Matthew 7:1-12, where Jesus addresses one of the most misunderstood teachings in the Bible. The distinction between judgment and discernment becomes crystal clear: judgment declares a verdict on someone's worth or destiny, while discernment evaluates behavior through the lens of God's truth.

Laura Eisenhower, the great granddaughter of President Eisenhower, believes he created an elite leadership unit within the US military to safeguard the US Republic from the machinations of the Deep State/Cabal. She believes this White Hats military unit is behind recent UFO disclosures, and is also behind efforts to dismantle the Deep State, whose power base is rapidly collapsing worldwide. This has led to the prospects of extraterrestrial disclosure happening in the near future due to revelations by insiders such as JP who took her on a tour of Eglin AFB where he was stationed for four years.Laura believes that one of the key challenges confronting humanity is to discern between organic and synthetic Nordic extraterrestrials, the latter of which are skilled in deception, and behind the infiltration of ancient civilizations such as Lyra and organizations such as the Galactic Federation of Worlds. She believes that we need to develop our discernment and abilities as sovereign beings so we don't give our power away to extraterrestrials that are eager to help or may be compromised. Ultimately, Laura asserts that we are all expressions of infinite source intelligence and need to be on guard not to give our power away in the mistaken belief that extraterrestrials are wiser and more loving than us.

Discerning spirits, the nature of God, glorious sociality, the timing of the Second Coming, eternal marriage, and plural marriage. In this pivotal lesson, we jump into the deep end of Restoration doctrine, covering Joseph Smith's most profound teachings on the nature of God, our eternal potential, and the covenants that bind us forever. Summary: This episode explores D&C 129–132, revelations containing foundational and high-level doctrine for the Church. D&C 129: Discerning Spirits. The Lord provides "three grand keys" to distinguish a resurrected being, a righteous spirit, and the devil appearing as an angel of light. This section emphasizes the eternal reality of the body and the importance of discernment. D&C 130: Eternal Knowledge and Timing. Joseph records several "items of instruction," including the promise that "whatever principle of intelligence we attain unto in this life, it will rise with us in the resurrection," providing an "advantage in the world to come." He also recounts the Lord's gentle command to "trouble me no more" about the timing of the Second Coming. Crucially, we learn that the "same sociality" we enjoy here, "coupled with eternal glory," will exist in the world to come. D&C 131: The New and Everlasting Covenant. This section reveals that in the celestial glory, a man "must enter into this order of the priesthood [the new and everlasting covenant of marriage]" to obtain the highest degree and have an eternal "increase." D&C 132: Eternal Marriage and Law. This essential revelation lays out the foundational law of eternal marriage, which must be "sealed by the Holy Spirit of promise" and entered into by revelation through the authorized servant. We discuss the stark difference between marriages that "have an end when men are dead" and those that lead to "thrones, kingdoms, principalities, and powers." We also examine the difficult topic of plural marriage, seeing it as an Abrahamic test given by command to "restore all things."

Welcome to Day 2724 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom Day 2729– A Discerning Life – Not Like Cain, but Like Christ! – 1 John 3:11-24 Putnam Church Message – 10/05/2025 Sermon Series: 1, 2, & 3 John “A Discerning Life – Not Like Cain, But Like Christ! " Last week, we continued through the letter of 1 John and explored how to have A Discerning Life: Discerning the Works of the Devil." This week, we continue through the letter of 1 John, and we will explore how to have A Discerning Life: Not Like Cain, But Like Christ!" from 1 John 3:11-24 from the NIV, which is found on page 1901 of your Pew Bibles. Love One Another 11 For this is the message you heard from the beginning: We should love one another. 12 Do not be like Cain, who belonged to the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own actions were evil and his brother's were righteous. 13 Do not be surprised, my brothers and sisters,[a] if the world hates you. 14 We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love each other. Anyone who does not love remains in death. 15 Anyone who hates a brother or sister is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life residing in him. 16 This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters. 17 If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person? 18 Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth. 19 This is how we know that we belong to the truth and how we set our hearts at rest in his presence: 20 If our hearts condemn us, we know that God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything. 21 Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God 22 and receive from him anything we ask, because we keep his commands and do what pleases him. 23 And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us. 24 The one who keeps God's commands lives in him, and he in them. And this is how we know that he lives in us: We know it by the Spirit he gave us. Opening Prayer Repeatedly, John urges his readers to love God and to love one another. He warns them against loving the world (2:15–16). And he underscores the danger of embracing a sinful lifestyle (3:10). All these subjects begin to wear on the consciences of Christians who desire to be like Christ but constantly fall short. If we allow the full impact of these words to weigh on us, it'll make us squirm because all of us fall short of the perfect standard of love given to us in Jesus Christ. Considering these convicting truths, some believers might even begin to think, “Am I even saved? Have I loved the world too much? Have I not loved my brother or sister in Christ enough? Are there people in my life whom I hate?” Because these questions...

Thank you for joining us for Christian Faith Center's Sermon of the week. This message is from our Nampa Location. Pastor Jordan kicks off our new message series "TEST THE SPIRITS"How do you know that something is really from God? A word, show, movie, sermon.... How do you know if something is from God. We watch so much online, we read so many books, but not everything we see, hear, or read is from God. Just because you have the Holy Spirit doesn't mean you cannot be influenced by another spirit that is NOT of God. There are different spirits at work. We don't want to be suspicious, but we don't want lack discernment.

In a world overflowing with headlines, hashtags, and hot takes, truth can be hard to find. Every day, parents face the challenge of sorting through conflicting narratives while helping their daughters make sense of it all. When everyone claims to have "the facts," how do we stay grounded in what's actually true—and teach our girls to do the same? In this insightful episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, host Rachael Culpepper, Executive Director of American Heritage Girls, sits down with veteran broadcaster, ordained minister, and My Family Talk co-host Roger Marsh for a candid conversation about raising discerning daughters in a media-saturated world. Drawing from decades of experience in Christian broadcasting, Roger introduces his "ABC's of Media Engagement"—Analysis, Balance, and Clarity—a practical framework that helps families filter information through a Biblical lens. Together, Rachael and Roger unpack how to help girls develop a critical eye toward what they see and hear, how to spot deception in the digital age, and how to rely on God's Word as the ultimate standard for truth. They remind parents that discernment isn't just about identifying what's false—it's about cultivating a heart that seeks wisdom, integrity, and the mind of Christ. Whether your daughter is scrolling social media, researching for school, or just trying to understand the world around her, this episode will equip you to guide her toward the kind of truth that never changes—God's truth.

Welcome to Day 2724 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom Day 2724 – A Discerning Life – Discerning the Works of the Devil 1 John 3:4-10 Putnam Church Message – 09/28/2025 Sermon Series: 1, 2, & 3 John “A Discerning Life – Discerning the Works of the Devil. " Last week, we continued through the letter of 1 John and explored how to have “A Discerning Life: Living in Light of the Lord's Return." This week, we continue through the letter of 1 John, and we will explore how to have A Discerning Life: Discerning the Works of the Devil" from 1 John 3:4-10 from the NIV, which is found on page 1901 of your Pew Bibles. 4 Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness. 5 But you know that he appeared so that he might take away our sins. And in him is no sin. 6 No one who lives in him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has either seen him or known him. 7 Dear children, do not let anyone lead you astray. The one who does what is right is righteous, just as he is righteous. 8 The one who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil's work. 9 No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God's seed remains in them; they cannot go on sinning, because they have been born of God. 10 This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not God's child, nor is anyone who does not love their brother and sister. Opening Prayer When a person today hears the phrase “What you're doing is a sin,” they probably won't hear it as “I love you enough to point out that destructive behavior in your life.” Instead, they hear something like, “I'm judging you.” The idea of loving sinners enough to help them deal with their sin is lost on a world that has increasingly downplayed that three-letter word. (Bulletin) To understand what sin is, we must explore the root meaning. In both Hebrew and Greek, its root meaning is “to miss the mark” or “to fall short.” It conveys the idea of missing a target, straying from the path, or failing to meet a standard. Let me share two illustrations to understand sin: Archery Picture: Imagine aiming at a target. Even if you shoot an arrow that lands just outside the bullseye, you've missed the mark. That's how the Hebrew root ḥaṭṭāʼ illustrates sin—falling short of God's perfect aim for us. Modern Analogy: If a GPS guides you to a destination but you take a wrong turn, you've deviated from the path. Sin is choosing our own path instead of following God's direction. Whatever happened to sin? When did it get deleted from our cultural lexicon? Why have we been told that it's now one of those “politically incorrect” terms? The word "sin" is obviously no longer in use. Today, it's been replaced by words like error, mistake, tragedy, addiction, sickness, misdeed, faux pas, failure, weakness, or fault. And on that last one, more often than not, it's someone else's fault! However, the Bible presents an entirely...
