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!

Jesus Understands Our Infirmities

Sunday, March 27, 2011 Led by Dennis Jeffries Jesus has experienced everything we've ever been through, and more so. He understands our feelings and knows what it's like. Hebrews 2:16-18  -  Jesus took on flesh and blood and was made like his brethren; he brings hope and comfort to those suffering with temptation Philippians 2:5-6  -  Jesus didn't think it was robbery to be equal with God (he wasn't taking anything away from God because he was God) *** See John 10:24, John 1:1,14 *** John 5:18  -  the Jews wanted to kill Jesus because he proclaimed to be equal with God *** See John 15:18-19 *** Philippians 2:7  -  Jesus was in the likeness of man Isaiah 53:2-5  -  He knows how we feel in every situation we're in; he was a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief... therefore he understands our griefs and sorrows Galatians 4:4-5  -  Jesus was flesh (made of a woman) and was subjected to temptation just as we are, but he ...

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...
