Pastor Phil joins Andrew Rapoport on the Rap Report to dive deep into the pressing issues facing the church today, particularly the encroaching influence of wokeness and the social justice movement. The conversation kicks off with a look back at how the church has historically handled attacks on its foundations, with Phil drawing parallels between past and current challenges. They explore the concept of “hijacking virtue,” where seemingly noble causes are manipulated for ulterior motives, alluding to movements like Black Lives Matter and the growing complexity of racial reconciliation efforts. Throughout the episode, they emphasize the need for discernment in identifying idols in our lives and churches that could lead believers astray, ultimately pointing to the importance of a solid biblical worldview. As they wrap up, listeners are encouraged to look critically at their own communities and the teachings they encounter, ensuring they remain anchored in the truth of Scripture amidst a rapidly changing cultural landscape.The episode culminates in a call to action for listeners to become more discerning about the influences shaping their faith and the church community. Andrew and Phil encourage a proactive approach to understanding the root causes of cultural movements and their potential impact on the church. They articulate a vision of the church as a beacon of hope and truth in a world increasingly hostile to its teachings. By grounding themselves in scripture and fostering a community that prioritizes spiritual growth over societal trends, believers can effectively counter the narratives that seek to undermine their faith. The conversation concludes with practical advice for identifying potential pitfalls within church teachings and a reminder of the importance of community and dialogue in navigating these complex issues. Phil's book serves as a resource for those looking to deepen their understanding of these themes, providing a framework for recognizing and combating modern idolatry in all its forms.Takeaways: Andrew and Pastor Phil discuss the modern challenges facing the church, emphasizing the need for biblical interpretation amidst societal pressures. The podcast highlights the importance of recognizing and resisting the hijacking of virtue by secular movements, particularly in the context of social justice. Pastor Phil shares insights from his book, 'Idols on the Hills', addressing how ancient idolatry manifests in contemporary issues like materialism and cultural ideology. Listeners are encouraged to critically evaluate their churches for signs of compromise with modern ideologies, particularly regarding race and morality in light of scripture. The discussion touches on the role of pastors in navigating modern complexities while remaining grounded in the truth of the gospel, avoiding guilt manipulation.

In Psalm 25, we see a plea for God to be our guide. In today's message, Pastor Phil encourages us to consider, do we find ourselves today at a point where we feel we lost? Jesus promises in His word to give us rest. And who is on the throne of our lives? We can trust God and we need to trust God enough to surrender to His will as our Lord.

Redeeming Babel Acts 2:1-13 Pastor Phil Rushton

On Send Sunday, churches all around the globe are encouraged to consider their part in the work of sending out laborers into the harvest field. In today's message, Pastor Phil studies Acts 13:1-3 as a model of a church being led by the Spirit and then sending out Paul and Barnabas. We are reminded that we are each called to fulfill the Great Commission, that we all need to be willing to go wherever God would send us, and that we are to send sacrificially.

Pastor Phil continued our “Rest on Us” series with a powerful and timely message on spiritual warfare. As children of God, it's essential that we recognize both who we are fighting against and how to prepare for the battle. Spiritual warfare is real—just as real as the physical world we live in. Every day, we are engaged in a battle that isn't visible to the natural eye but has very real consequences. If we don't understand our adversary, we risk being overcome. That's why awareness and preparation are vital. Ephesians 6:12 reminds us of the true nature of our struggle: “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” Satan is a master of deception. He knows how to plant seeds of doubt in our minds, twist the truth, and build arguments that subtly turn us away from God. His attacks often come in the form of mental and emotional warfare—aimed at discouraging us, confusing us, and making us question our identity in Christ. But we are not powerless. Through God's Word, we learn to take every thought captive and make it obedient to Christ (2 Corinthians 10:5). Instead of being ruled by our feelings, we are called to stand on godly truth—truth that doesn't shift with emotion or circumstance. The blood of Jesus has broken the chains of sin and shame. We are no longer captives. Satan wants us to forget that—weakened, distracted, and bound by lies. But God calls us to remember who we are and to walk daily in the freedom He has already secured for us. Missed last night's message?

Telling the Whole Story Colossians 1:15-23 Pastor Phil Rushton

Deuteronomy 10:12-13 says, "And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God ask of you but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in obedience to him, to love him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, and to observe the Lord’s commands and decrees that I am giving you today for your own good?" (NIV) To fear the Lord is a command with rich meaning. In today's message, Pastor Phil explores what it means to fear the Lord, and then examines the other instructions in this passage.
