This is message 49 in Gospel Record of John John 15:18-25 Following Christ will always bring conflict with a world that rejects God, because a transformed life exposes the darkness of sin and the emptiness of false religion. The closer believers walk with Christ, the more clearly they reflect His character, and the same hatred directed toward Him will often be directed toward them. Yet the rejection of Christ is not merely opposition to a teacher or a message, but rebellion against God Himself, whose truth continues to uncover every excuse and call men to repentance.

People are drawn to religion. Any form of religion. Be it the religion of evolution, or atheism, or voodoo, or satanic cults, man wants to worship something. The world is full of false religions started by Satan who understands man's desire to worship. He just wants to be the object of man's worship. Every religion that Satan starts is just a distraction from the real worship of the almighty God. Satan's goal is to send you to hell, by deceiving you into believing that you can work your way into heaven. He wants you to believe that it is the offering that makes a difference in men today. The offering of the lost person is his works. The lost person believes it is his good works that matter, that make him better or worse than someone else. A recent poll stated that a majority of Americans believed that the basis that someone would get into heaven would be on how good their works were. It also said that if people believed in a hell, that only the really bad people would go there. Without a doubt this is the best false religion that Satan has going. But no true believer takes the position that he is better than anyone else. The thing that makes him a Christian is that he recognizes that he is a sinner like everyone else and that he needs an offering, he needs a sacrifice, and he needs Someone to take his place and to die for him. That Someone is Jesus Christ. As believers, we know that for our righteousness to be acceptable to God it must be a perfect righteousness, one that we are incapable of providing on our own, and that it can only come through the blood of Christ. The Bible tells us that Christ died and was raised for our righteousness. He was the One who took our place. Our righteousness is obtained through our faith in the sacrifice of Christ on the cross.

Today's Episode: When God Interrupts False Religion. (1 Kings 13: 1-34)Today, we step into one of the strangest, most dramatic, and most sobering chapters in the entire book of 1 Kings. And if you've been following the story with us, you know exactly why this chapter matters. Rehoboam has made foolish decisions. Jeroboam has made even worse ones. The kingdom is divided, the people are confused, and false worship is spreading like wildfire. So, what does God do when His people drift into deception? Well, 1 Kings 13 gives us the answer, and it begins with a scene that feels almost cinematic.

On this episode, I cover a little about the history and teachings of Charles Taze Russell and the Jehovah's Witnesses. This is not just a false religion, it is one of the most aggressive false religions of our day.

In approaching this question, one must examine whether the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church align with the authoritative Word of God or whether they stand in opposition to it. This episode will therefore analyze key doctrinal issues—such as justification, authority, the sacraments, and the role of Mary and the saints—in light of Scripture. The goal is not to attack individuals within the Roman Church, many of whom are sincere in their devotion, but to test the system itself against the truth revealed in God's Word. For if the gospel is distorted, then eternal souls are at stake.
There is a growing concern that some Christians will be tempted to see Mormonism in a positive light, given their allegiance to conservative values and politics. This episode warns Christians not to compromise in this area. Mormonism has historically been deemed an anti-Christian cult and a false religion by Christians. We must ensure that we continue to make this distinction.
Jeremy reacts to a viral Tweet explaining the difference between a mom's conservative and liberal child. He explains why we needed to invent some moral framework for society after Christian ethics were broadly discarded, and why our culture is suddenly anti-life after choosing "consent" as the moral framework. This new "religion" doesn't value life, and is leading to the sterilization of the next generation. Seriously consider what you can do about it as he explains at the end of the episode. On this episode, we talk about: 0:00 Intro 2:26 The Tweet 5:12 Ideas really matter 7:00 When the innate goodness of life is rejected 16:48 Universities are indoctrinating our children into a new religion 19:15 What do we do about this?
