       Fakery, false spirituality and money-grubbing is a multi-million
       dollar industry. But it's not new. Jesus warned us about these
       issues in the first century and they just keep coming up again
       and again. But I don't think we would be wise to limit this
       warning to an issue that we see in some leaders. We should take
       seriously the fact that humans seem to have a natural drift from
       authentic spirituality to impersonated spirituality. From
       genuine character and godliness to laboring at the appearance of
       character and godliness. This is something that leaders will
       probably be tempted with the most but any one of us can fall
       into. God give us wisdom!
       This is part 51 of the Mark Series, going verse by verse through
       the Gospel of Mark. Today we are in chapter 12:38-44
       Feel free to use my videos in your own gatherings as an aid to
       studying Scripture. See the WHOLE Gospel of Mark playlist here.

       Examining the idea that God created evil and looking at Isaiah
       45:7 where God says, in the KJV, "I create evil".
       We'll examine the passage in context, looking at the Hebrew word
       for "evil" and then tackle some common problems/misconceptions
       people have on the topic of the existence of evil.
       Here's a wonderfully helpful video on the problem of evil from

       "You sit and speak against your brother; you slander your o
       wn mother's son."
       By: AGelbert Date: January 8, 2022, 11:51 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       In this segment of Psalm 50, God sends a clear message to
       relatives (you know who you are) who continue to act wickedly
       while sanctimoneously claiming to be Christians. You may fool
       yourselves and your offspring, but God is not mocked. Repent
       while there is still time.
       [font=times new roman]Offer to God a sacrifice of thanksgiving,
       and perform your vows to the Most High, and call upon me in the
       day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify me.”
       But to the wicked God says: “What right have you to recite my
       statutes or take my covenant on your lips? For you hate
       discipline, and you cast my words behind you.
       If you see a thief, you are pleased with him, and you keep
       company with adulterers. “You give your mouth free rein for
       evil, and your tongue frames deceit.
       You sit and speak against your brother; you slander your own
       mother's son. These things you have done, and I have been
       silent; you thought that I was one like yourself.
       But now I rebuke you and lay the charge before you. “Mark this,
       then, you who forget God, lest I tear you apart, and there be
       none to deliver!
       The one who offers thanksgiving as his sacrifice glorifies me;
       to one who orders his way rightly I will show the salvation of
       God!” -- Psalm 50:14-23 ESV[/font]

       [move]“If I knew any way of escape I would crawl through sewers
       to find it,” Lewis writes. “I am not arguing that pain is not
       painful. Pain hurts. That is what the word means. I am only
       trying to show that the old Christian doctrine of being made
       “perfect through suffering” is not incredible. To prove it
       palatable is beyond my design.” -- The Problem of Pain by C.S.
       Lewis[/move]
       Agelbert NOTE: This is an amazing and uplifting true story. As a
       former pilot myself, the logical and methodical way this man
       preceived his surroundings is quite familar to me. I am firmly
       convinced he is telling the truth about this life changing
       experience. The details are precise. The countryside in Heaven
       is FAR more REAL than this pale imitation of reality we now
       inhabit. I've never been to Heaven, but a near death experience
       took me to what I believe are the outskirts before I was pulled
       back. However, I did notice the fact that there was a blue sky
       with no sun, as Jim Woodford relates from his experience. I was
       floating over a road with grass along the sides. Then my
       direction of travel reversed and it all disapeared and I was
       again laying on a gurney in a hospital (I was severely injured
       from crashing my 1989 Ford Probe GT Turbo). That said, my
       experience was nothing compared to this man's. Don't miss this
       video, your salvation and/or that of someone you love may depend
       on the knowledge you acquire from it.

       When Jim Woodford, he spent 11 hours in Heaven. When he came
       back, he was changed forever.
       A successful airline pilot and businessman, Jim had it all—a
       loving family, substantial wealth, and all of the good things
       that come with it. But none of this was enough to satisfy the
       emptiness he felt in his heart. He always hungered for something
       more. And then he died.
       Jim was never a religious man. When it came to matters of God
       and faith, he was ambivalent. But as he lay in the hospital bed,
       clinically dead for more than 11 hours, his consciousness was
       transported to the wonders of Heaven and the horrors of hell.
       When he returned to this world, he brought back the missing
       peace his soul had been longing for.

       The great drama of Martin Luther’s life comes alive in this
       vivid portrayal of the penniless monk’s quest for truth—a quest
       that would re-shape the church, and the world.
       Martin Luther triggered a seismic upheaval that rocked the
       western world in the 1500s—with an impact that continues to
       reverberate to this day. The great drama of Martin Luther’s life
       comes alive in this vivid portrayal of the penniless monk’s
       quest for truth—a quest that would re-shape the church, and the
       world. Perhaps the most faithful movie about Luther’s life ever
       made, the film does not shy away from the deep theological
       questions—and answers—that mark Luther as one of the most
       influential people of the last thousand years.
       Director: David Batty
       Starring: Padraic Delaney, Gerharde Bode, Jr., Bruno
       Grzeszykowski
       Agelbert NOTE: These quotes from the book Vicars of Christ - The
       Dark side of The Papacy by Peter De Rosa, help explain some
       details not mentioned in the film about the Inquisition during
       Martin Luther's time:
       It is noteworthy that one of the few prelates big enough to
       stand up to Innocent III was Stephen Langton, an Englishman
       versed in the common law. In splendid defiance of papal
       absolutism, he wrote:
       ‘Natural law is binding on princes and bishops alike; there is
       no escape from it. It is beyond the reach of the Pope himself.’
       Such was the intimidation by the Inquisition that no theologian,
       except ‘heretics’ like Marsilio of Padua and Martin Luther,
       raised his voice against it. Had anyone spoken out he would have
       been immediately silenced. Had he written against it, he would
       have been censored in advance. Tyranny continued unopposed. Not
       a single bishop in all those centuries raised his voice in
       protest at the way his flock was being ravaged, further proof
       that bishops in those days were puppets of the Holy See.
       Yet Protestants like Balthasar Hubmaier had clearer heads and
       braver hearts. Hubmaier wrote a whole tract against the burning
       of heretics in 1524. In a haunting series of propositions, he
       wrote:
       
       The inquisitors are the greatest heretics of all, since, against
       the doctrine and example of Christ, they condemn heretics to the
       fire. ... ...
       The curious thing is that Luther had no intention of leaving the
       church. Until it dawned on him that a divided Christendom was
       better than one over which the pope rules in denial of the
       Gospel. Better by far to be ruled by the open Bible than by a
       corrupt and apparently irreformable papacy.
       Western Christians still debate the wisdom of Luther’s
       judgement. His analysis did not differ from Dante’s. What was
       wrong with the church was the papacy’s libido dominandi, its
       insatiable lust for power.
       Leo X was obtuse enough to excommunicate Luther even for saying
       ‘Burning heretics is against the will of the Holy Spirit’. The
       next few popes were no more perceptive.

       John Newton was a troubled young man with a violent temper and a
       penchant for vulgarity that literally made his fellow sailors
       blush. Whipped for desertion and sold into slavery, it seemed
       his life would end early in a West African grave...until he was
       rescued by a ship captain sent by his father.
       Following a powerful conversion experience during a storm at
       sea, Newton would eventually become a pastor in the Church of
       England and the writer of several of the church's most beloved
       hymns, including "Amazing Grace."
       But before that, Newton, the former slave, was appointed captain
       of a slave ship himself. In an age when human bondage was
       considered the norm, it would take time for Newton's conscience
       to be thoroughly transformed. But Newton came to hate the slave
       trade, becoming a spiritual leader in the fight to end slavery.
       Newton's Grace is the true story of a real "Prodigal Son," the
       story of miraculous forgiveness and change that lies behind the
       powerful words of one of the world's most beloved hymns.

       John Wycliffe is a dramatic biography of the life of the 14th
       century scholar and cleric who translated the Bible into English
       for the first time.
       Wycliffe found himself in the middle of religious, political and
       social conflicts.  An Oxford scholar, one of Europe's most
       renowned philosophers, John Wycliffe was a defender of English
       nationalism against the power of the pope and a champion of the
       poor against the injustices of the rich.
       John Wycliffe taught that God's forgiveness cannot be bought
       with indulgences.
       John Wycliffe preached that the only true authority is the Word
       of God, and the Word could only be understood by all if the
       people could read it in their native tongue.  "John Wycliffe"
       captures the trials and heroic struggles of this significant man
       of faith - the "Morning Star" of the Reformation.

       If the dead are not raised, “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow 
       we die.” ...
       By: AGelbert Date: February 4, 2022, 10:51 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       I CORINTHIANS 15:32-58
       What do I gain if, humanly speaking, I fought with beasts at
       Ephesus? If the dead are not raised, “Let us eat and drink, for
       tomorrow we die.” Do not be deceived: “Bad company ruins good
       morals.” Wake up from your drunken stupor, as is right, and do
       not go on sinning. For some have no knowledge of God. I say this
       to your shame.
       But someone will ask, “How are the dead raised? With what kind
       of body do they come?” You foolish person! What you sow does not
       come to life unless it dies. And what you sow is not the body
       that is to be, but a bare kernel, perhaps of wheat or of some
       other grain.
       
       But God gives it a body as he has chosen, and to each kind of
       seed its own body. For not all flesh is the same, but there is
       one kind for humans, another for animals, another for birds, and
       another for fish.
       There are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the glory of
       the heavenly is of one kind, and the glory of the earthly is of
       another. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the
       moon, and another glory of the stars; for star differs from star
       in glory.
       So is it with the resurrection of the dead. What is sown is
       perishable; what is raised is imperishable. It is sown in
       dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is
       raised in power. It is sown a natural body; it is raised a
       spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a
       spiritual body.
       Thus it is written, “The first man Adam became a living being”;
       the last Adam became a life-giving spirit. But it is not the
       spiritual that is first but the natural, and then the spiritual.
       The first man was from the earth, a man of dust; the second man
       is from heaven. As was the man of dust, so also are those who
       are of the dust, and as is the man of heaven, so also are those
       who are of heaven. Just as we have borne the image of the man of
       dust, we shall also bear the image of the man of heaven.
       I tell you this, brothers: flesh and blood cannot inherit the
       kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the
       imperishable.
       Behold! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we
       shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye,
       at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead
       will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed. For this
       perishable body must put on the imperishable, and this mortal
       body must put on immortality. When the perishable puts on the
       imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then shall
       come to pass the saying that is written:
       “Death is swallowed up in victory.” “O death, where is your
       victory? O death, where is your sting?”
       The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But
       thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord
       Jesus Christ.
       Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always
       abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your
       labor is not in vain.
