In verses 11–13 of his epistle, Jude used three Old Testament examples and six stark word pictures to warn his readers about those who distort the Gospel through false teaching and ungodly living. These “certain people,” he explained, are untethered and fruitless, and their path is one of destruc...

In the second of two episodes on theonomy, Jon and Justin consider some of the practical fallout of theonomy: the gospel tends to be obscured, the mission of the church is confused, and burdens are placed on the saints that we were never meant to bear. How should we respond pastorally to these co...

What does it mean to take up your cross and follow Christ? Jim Osman and Justin Peters examine the teachings of Bethel leaders Kris Vallotton and Bill Johnson from their book "The Supernatural Ways of Royalty."

What have you been taught about tithing? The area of giving for the Christian is a debated topic for many, and it can be a source of contention and even manipulation, depending upon the teaching. Are we obligated to tithe and to expect financial abundance and protection, or is there a far greater...

If you are familiar with the Word of Faith movement, talk of prosperity and speaking things into existence is not an uncommon practice and belief. However, there are other teachings that are even more problematic, and one of the beliefs is that Jesus Christ had to be born-again in hell in order f...

In the first of two episodes on theonomy, Jon and Justin seek to generally define theonomy and then respond to it theologically. The guys consider a confessional understanding of the threefold division of the law, the distinction between moral and positive law, and 1689 Federalism as safeguards a...

The Bible doesn't just speak about culture, it starts with culture. Genesis 2 gives us the cultural mandate. We cannot separate the culture from the Bible. It is not neutral in God's world. In this episode of Wield The Sword, Voddie Baucham talks about the Biblical foundation and mandate for cult...

Missiology has been given over to sociologists and cultural anthropologists and it's no longer something the average pastor thinks he can understand. It's as if all of our theology falls apart when we go international. We are no longer qualified to go teach the Gospel to the unreached people grou...

Modern Progressive Christianity is a reiteration of early 20th century liberalism. Progressive "Christians" value questions over answers and treat doubt as virtuous. Open mindedness is their chief value and they believe the truth claims of Scripture cannot be taken literally. Daniel and Robin mak...

Another false narrative used by White Nationalists is called “The Curse of Ham”. This false doctrine inserts a racial narrative into the story of Noah that isn’t there in order to justify segregation and slavery of people with dark skin.

There's a man-centered “gospel” that says that Jesus died because you were so valuable. He saw the "gold" underneath your sin and was motivated by your worth or value to save you. Another way that this is said is, "The cross isn't a revelation of your sin, but a revealing of your value." Some eve...

Many contemporary Pentecostal and Charismatic scholars believe that Montanism was the first charismatic revival. But is this really the case? Did the Montanists possess the genuine gift of prophecy? Or were they inspired by ancient near eastern paganism, such as the cult of Cybele? This episode ...

At multiple points, Paul writes that he is not ashamed of the gospel. Why did he need to write that? What is it about the gospel that could bring shame on someone who preaches it--or believes it? The gospel offends us in our self-righteousness. That’s clear. It also offends us in our licentiousne...

Extrabiblical revelation is not foreign to the area of deliverance ministry. There have been numerous claims of God revealing strategies and revelation concerning demons indwelling Christians and how to remove them, and numerous books have been written on the subject. One book in particular makes...

Kris Vallotton of Bethel Church, claims that Michael the Archangel appeared by his bedside in wrestling tights, and in a bad mood. But does this description of an angelic encounter match the description of angels that we see in Scripture?

On this episode, Shane explores a fascinating scene from Luke 7 in which John the Baptist questions whether Jesus is the promised Messiah.

In today’s episode, Jon and Justin consider how our own righteousness only leads to death. In Romans 5:12-21, Paul makes it clear that we have all been counted with Adam’s guilt–and that the only hope we have is that we would be counted with Christ’s righteousness. By faith, Jesus becomes our rep...

Did you know that there are White Nationalists who believe themselves to be Biblical Christians? They twist Scripture to claim that segregation based on skin color is the will of God. They also believe that European ethnicity is the favored “race” in God’s eyes. In this episode of “Fighting for t...
