Conspiracy Theories and the Symphony of Destruction

On By Robert W. PeckIn Blog, ChristianLeave a comment

If you believe every conspiracy theory that comes along, you’ll end up paranoid and delusional. On the other hand, if you don’t see a reason to think a conspiracy of evil is afoot, then you’re not paying attention. Learn to discern what’s edifying versus theories and fables that are a trap designed to suck you down a rabbit hole. There is a conspiracy to lead humanity in a symphony of destruction, but we don’t have to dance to that tune.

OUTLINE

This is not a typical sermon topic. However, there is a spiritual point to be made.

I’ve pondered and prayed about this subject for many years and what I have come to understand about it has enriched me. I believe it will benefit you as well.

Things We Know That Just Aint So: In the Last Days Everything Will Get Worse and Worse

On By Robert W. PeckIn Christian3 Comments

Does the Bible really teach that spiritual and moral decline are a sign of the last days and the second coming of Christ? For that matter, what are the last days and when do they start? What if Satan has conned the church into believing for an increase in evil that doesn’t have to happen?

Discover a Biblical understanding of what the last days really are, what’s happening in those days, and the church’s job of advancing the kingdom on earth.

Exposing Satan’s Tactics – He’s a Liar and a Con

On By Robert W. PeckIn Blog2 Comments

2 Corinthians 2:11 “lest Satan should take advantage of us; for we are not ignorant of his devices.”

I once had the benefit of spending a few years of my life in the world around worldly, lying, deceiving, manipulating, sceaming, scamming, con artist type people. I call it a benefit not because there was anything good about it but because later in life, as I grew in spiritual understanding, the Lord used those experiences as an object lesson for exposing Satan’s mode of operation.

Jesus taught us that Satan’s progeny will unavoidably manifest his own attributes.

John 8:44 “You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.”

Following the Maker’s Design

On By Robert W. PeckIn Christian6 Comments

Part 5 in the series “Knowing the Truth About Sin Will Set You Free”


In previous lessons on “Knowing the Truth About Sin,” Elder Bob Peck has taught us that we are forgiven of sin, that there is no condemnation to those who are in Christ, and that the Old Testament law system has been abolished. If you have understood those lessons correctly, it should leave you asking “Then why not sin?” If your only goal is to miss hell and make heaven, then abstinence from sin is no longer required. On the other hand, if you want to prosper and have success in this life, then observing and following your maker’s design for your life is essential to avoiding a breakdown that leaves you stranded on the side of the road of life.

Review

  1. In Part 1 we learned that Christ offered one sacrifice (Hebrews 10:12) that so thoroughly atoned for all sins forever that there is no longer anything that can condemn anyone who is in Christ (Romans 8:1).
  2. In Part 2 we learned that the old covenant has been made obsolete (Hebrews 8:13), it’s handwriting wiped out when God nailed it to the cross of Christ (Colossians 2:14). For those in Christ, there is no longer a performance-based system of dos and don’ts to be judged by or condemned under.
  3. In Part 3 we learned that for the New Testament believer, sin is no longer the state of being without a share in the divine nature. For the New Testament believer, sin is no longer the act of violating the rules of a performance-based system. For the New Testament believer, sin is the act of missing the mark and there’s no law against that and therefore no condemnation for it.
