Movie Tuesday ~ EXIT: The Appeal of Suicide

 

According to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, over 44,000 people commit suicide each year. While women are three times more likely to attempt suicide than men, men are 3.5 times more likely to die when attempting suicide.

As Christians, we have the hope of the gospel to offer those who are in despair. Do you know someone struggling with depression or suicidal thoughts? Reach out to that person and offer help and comfort. You can find more resources for your church and for those who need help atย theexitmovie.com.

Movie Tuesday: End of the Spear

End of the Spear is the story of missionaries Nate Saint, Jim Elliot, Pete Fleming, Ed McCully, and Roger Youderian, who were missionaries to Ecuador in the 1950s. They were attempting to establish a connection with the previously unreached Waodani tribe, who misunderstood their intentions and brutally martyred all five. But that’s not the end of the story. In fact, it’s just the beginning…

Movie Tuesday: The Marks of a Cult

“A fascinating analysis examining the core of Christian orthodoxy; where denominations within the true Church ends…and a cult begins.

Once again, The Apologetics Group has developed a scholarly presentation addressing a vital current issue. This new production not only deals with how to identify The Marks of a Cult, but in its own right is a type of “mini-systematic theology” that will greatly benefit any individual or church group. I highly recommend it for a better understanding of cult beliefs and practice, as well as, developing your understanding of historic Christian theology.” Dr. Kenneth G. Talbot — President, Whitefield Theological Seminary

In today’s religiously diverse and relativistic culture, labeling a group a cult may seem extreme to many people, not to mention rude. Even people who believe in absolute Truth and further believe that Jesus is the only way to eternal life can get confused about just what constitutes real Christianity. Just why are Baptists properly considered Christians, but Mormons are not? Or why is the Jehovah’s Witness religion classified as an anti-Christian cult while Presbyterians or Wesleyans or Pentecostals are simply seen as denominations within the Christian faith?

With the explosion of different sects that claim to honor and follow Jesus, how does one differentiate between true Biblical Christianity and an aberrant religious movement? Just what are “the marks of a cult?”

Join us for a journey into the heart of Biblical revelation and the constant struggle of truth against lies, the apostolic faith against the “doctrines of demons.”

This new documentary from The Apologetics Group does more than simply point fingers. It explains in great detail the absolute essentials of the Faith and just how and why Christians can properly and necessarily refer to certain sects as “cults.” Not only a tool for recognizing and understanding false teaching โ€” and for reaching people held captive to it โ€” The Marks of a Cult is also a powerful apologetic on the need for Christians to become more rooted in the Biblical historic faith, with its creeds and confessions, and to be better prepared to give “a defense to any one who calls you to account for the hope that is in you.” (1 Peter 3:15)

Just some great little random YouTube videos I thought I’d pass along for your enjoyment and edification…

Here’s what happens when you’re a false prophet and you make the mistake of calling a doctrinally sound pastor up to “receive a word.”

 

I’m going to make Southern Gospel fans of y’all yet. How can you not love these lyrics?

 

I know not everybody enjoys Christian comedy, but if you do, it looks like John Crist might be the next Tim Hawkins.

 

“Only God can judge me!”
“Right. And if you don’t repent, that judgment is going to be ‘Guilty!’.”
Here’s the latest from our friend Pastor Gabe over at WWUTT.

 

Sure, Jesus is calling Sarah Young. Calling her to repent and believe in the sufficiency of Scripture, that is. (More info. on Sarah Young/Jesus Calling under the “Popular False Teachers” tab at the top of the blog.)
