JD Greear (quoting Jen Wilkin): "'We ought to whisper about what the Bible whispers about, and we ought to shout about what it shouts about.' And the Bible appears more to whisper when it comes to sexual sin compared to its shouts about materialism and religious pride." It's religious pride to preach the Bible whispers about sexual sin. God said loud and clear, "Flee from sexual immorality" (1 Corinthians 6:18), or any kind of sex outside the marriage bed, since God created sex for a husband and a wife. Often when the Bible lists the sins God will judge, sexual sins are first on the list. “Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.” 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 “Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strif...

What separates Christianity from every other religion in the world? The answer is grace. "By grace you are saved through faith, and this is not your own doing. It is the gift of God. Not of works, lest any man should boast" (Ephesians 2:8-9). If you ask a Muslim, "Where will you go when you die?" he might say, "Paradise. I read the Qu'ran, I pay alms, I pray five times a day, I've made the pilgrimage. I am a righteous man." If you ask a Jew, he might say, "We really do not know," where we will go when we die. "But if there is a life after this one, and a reward for what we do, then surely it will be dependent upon the kind of life we have lived" (quote from Rabbi Howard Jaffe). A Buddhist might say he hopes to achieve Nirvana by following the eight-fold path, or being a good person. A Hindu strives to break the cycle of reincarnation and attain Moksha by being a good person. Even an atheist believes he should be a good...

There are a lot of false teachings in the world. Paganism, Gnosticism, Buddism, Hinduism, Sikhism, Taoism, Confucionism, Shaminism, even Judaism, Polytheism, Pantheism, Deism, Darwinism, Naturalism, Secular Humanism, Feminism, Agnosticism, Atheism, and Islam...ism. All these different ways to get to God or be a god or deny God. But Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one gets to the Father but by me" (John 14:6). Of course, not everything that claims to be of Christ is truly of Christ (Matthew 7:21). Like Catholicism, Mormonism, Unitarian Universalism, Oneness Pentecostalism, Heaven Tourism, Jehovah's Witnesses, Eastern Orthodoxy, Word of Faith, the New Apostolic Reformation, and Rob Bell. So why all these false religions and teachers? Why would God allow there to be so many, many lies? Two reasons: Testing and judgment. The Bible says of those who refused to love the truth and so be saved, God "sends them a strong delusion, so that the...
