Fairy Tales and Falsehoods

Sunday, February 12, 2012
Led by Eric Gintert

  • 2 Corinthians 11:1-15  -  Don't let your minds be corrupted. The serpent beguiled Eve with flattery and lies (he corrupted her mind). He didn't come with something that outwardly looked bad or evil...
  • 1 Timothy 1:4  -  We are not to give heed to fables that don't edify us in godliness. 
  • 1 Timothy 4:6-7  -  Do not give heed to wives fables.
  • Titus 1:9-14  -  Guard your mind against fables.
  • Matthew 4:8-10  -  Satan tried to tempt Jesus by saying he could give Him every thing. As the prince of this world, Satan had the right to give Jesus everything... IF He bowed and worshiped Satan. Satan tempted Jesus to imagine that He could have everything of this world
  • Genesis 1:1,3,6,9,11,14,20,24,26  -  Imagination isn't bad in it's self... God imagined the creation of this world and found that every thing He made was good
  • Genesis 6:5  -  Imagination can be bad... the imaginations of the thoughts of their hearts were only evil continually and therefore, God destroyed the world with a flood.
Satan has always been after the children to destroy them... Egypt wanted to kill all the male children of the Israelites, Herod wanted to kill all the children in hopes of destroying our Christ, and today our country alone destroys almost 4,000 babies a day via abortions. If Satan can't kill them he comes with fairy tales and falsehoods that seem innocent but in the end cause so much harm to their souls... Santa Clause, Tooth Fairy, Easter Bunny, fairy godmothers, etc. We can classify sin and say that Santa and all these LIES are just for fun but in God's eyes sin is sin. It only takes one to send you to hell.

But, Jesus told stories (parables).... and they were for the edification of spiritual things.

  • Philippians 4:6-8   -  we are commanded to think on these things, not fables, fariy tales, etc.
  • Ephesians 5:14-21  -  think on psalms, hymns and spiritual songs
  • Romans 1:18-27  -  We've come to an age where we no longer worship the Creator, but the creature... animals, Easter bunnies, etc.
WE'VE REPLACED CHRIST!

Don't Be Naked! - Loins Girt with Truth

The Whole Armor of God This Week: Loins Girt with Truth Click image to enlarge. Sunday, October 14, 2012 Led by Eric Gintert Ephesians 6:10-18 The Whole Armor of God is meant to protect us, that we may be able to stand against the powers and principalities that come against us. What are the Loins Girt about with Truth for? The loins help you to stand. They give you support to stand. They help you to get up when you've fallen. John 8:31-32 The truth makes you free and you'll know His disciples because they continue in His Word. John 14:6 Jesus is the  way, the  truth, and the  life. He is NOT a  way, a  truth, or a  life. Hebrews 13:8-9 The truth of Jesus does not change. Don't be carried away with diverse and strange doctrines. The truth is being trodden down in our day and age. He did not leave us blind in the Word.  How much are we putting our trust in the Lord? We must put on the truth so we're not ca...

Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus: Darkness

Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus This Week: Darkness Sunday, November 4, 2012 Led by Eric Gintert Who is Jesus to You? Savior? What does that mean? Savior from what? Lord? What does that mean? What does it mean to be Lord? We need to be lightened! Psalm 34:1-5 "They" (in verse 5) are the humble who want to exalt the name of the Lord. "Him" is the Lord. They looked unto the Lord and they were lightened and not ashamed. On judgment day, some will look on Him and be ashamed but others will be able to stand before Him completely unashamed and justified. Are we asking and seeking to be lightened by Him in all issues: politics, relationships, etc? Darkness came before Light... Genesis 1:1-2 Before there was light, there was darkness. Before we can know and understand the great mercy and grace that the Lord has given us, we must first understand all the filth, guile, wickedness, and sin that we have taken part in. We must understa...

Don't Be Naked! - The Breastplate

The Whole Armor of God This Week: The Breastplate Click image to enlarge. Sunday, September 30, 2012 Led by Eric Gintert Ephesians 6:10-18 The Whole Armor of God Isaiah 59:16-17 This is what God wants us to be clothed with... the very thing He clothed His Son with! Ephesians 6:14 The breastplate protects the heart and desires. 1 Thessalonians 5:4-9 Your heart represents your desires. Are you desiring your own righteousness or His righteousness? Jude 3 says, "...   ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints" yet we're doing the same things as the world. We say that we have our armor on, but really, we're sleeping. William Booth's Breastplate of Righteousness William Booth, founder of the Salvation Army, was not concerned with thrift stores, food lines, and raising money (while all this is a good work and nothing is wrong with the cause). He guarded his heart by having a conc...
