FALSE NEWS WON’T STOP BUT WE DON’T HAVE TO SPREAD IT

My Monday appeal. Debunk them, junk FB posts & junk Tweets. By junk I mean False. Yep, I’m serious. Be4 you post it, check it, confirm it, be4 you swallow it. Be a fact checker. Why? Because false stories go viral sooner than truth. Don’t be a propagator. Be4 you post it, STOP, do a gutcheck. Take 90-120 sec. to verify source & credibility.

DOES LOVE OR BLOOD CLEANSE HUMANS FROM SIN?

Some of our contemporary Christian worship music errs when it suggests that the love of Jesus drenches us with forgiveness or suggests that love cleanses us of sin. This is not a matter of semantics but theological accuracy.

Sure, love has a place in this salvation equation. It is because of God’s love for the world of sinners (John 3:16) that he sent His Begotten Son Jesus to earth where because of Jesus love for and obedience to the Father, he surrendered his body to a death whereby his blood would be spilled.
