This series is aimed at helping local churches and their people to hunger and thirst for righteousness as our Savior directs. Once upon a time, there were fervent believers called Methodists who practiced holiness of heart and life, watching over one another in love. They effectively spread scriptural holiness across the land. Many of us aim to do the same thing today, but a reorientation is in order. We have learned the wrong ways, believed wrongly about a few things. Rev. Dr. Pete Bellini is helping to set me and my audience straight!
Today's topic is on the "nature of true discipleship." We live in a counterfeit world with a lot of pretension and hypocrisy. We would like to think this stuff doesn't enter the church, but it does. How do we navigate and combat these things? Join us live as we speak with an audience (you) and seek God's truth together.
Debra Baty is the head of Resources 4 Redemption, which is an effort aimed at spreading good information about sexual orientation and gender identity. She recently published an article about “sexual fluidity” and how it impacts our sanctification in Firebrand Magazine. It is a good piece, and Debra does worthy work. All believers in the West have to contend with the artificial ideas of the sexual revolution. There is nowhere we can go that these issues do not impact us. The only way out is through.
Debra has a personal story that is quite compelling. She is a trustworthy, thoughtful, and conscientious resource. All covenant Christian bodies need to know where they stand on these things, lest the evil one sow confusion. Now is the time to reflect upon these things. Days are coming when what we believe will be put to the test. If we have not prepared, then we cannot expect to prevail.

I didn't realize until I finished this morning's live stream that it got cut off pretty early in the stream. It should have made me suspicious when the viewer count stayed the same and I wasn't getting any more comments. Anyway, I recorded the whole thing and have reposted it here for you. I'll clip up the two main portions and post them on YouTube later today. Sorry for the snafu, y'all. There was a small power surge and something about that threw Rumble off. Tomorrow should be normal. God bless you all!
My Internet service provider crapped out about an hour ago and doesn’t seem to be coming back. I’m afraid I have no option but to sit and enjoy the morning with my wife. Plan on joining me on Monday morning! Go to worship with a biblical body of believers this Sunday!
Things are still rough in this household. I got a little more sleep last night, but the wife is now down, and I'm giving aid to her and two delirious feverish kids. Hopefully will be out of the woods tomorrow. Not realistic to try to lead the live stream today. Hope to see you tomorrow! There's stuff piling up to talk about...
