As bizarre as some of them can be, even Charismatics have found the new Hillsong music video to be bizarre. Charisma Mag described it as “trippy” and “featuring ghosts” and a “rainstorm of blood.” The lyrics to their new song, P.E.A.C.E., are – as they usually are – generic and meaningless, with only the vaguest … Read more

The weekend edition of Polemics Report, as airs on terrestrial AM and FM radio around the country. This week’s topic is how heretics often use music to sucker in people to their beliefs, and lower the level of their discernment. As always, you can listen on SermonAudio, iTunes or listen below.
One of the biggest heretics of Church History was a scholar in the 200s named Arius. Arius’s heresy was a denial of the divinity of Jesus. He taught that only the Father was God and that Jesus was merely a creation of God. This heresy was clear and is one of the most blatant examples … Read more

We are living in the most significant, yet volatile, days of history; wherein, civilizations have become intertwined with all kinds of politics, economies, relationships, governments, people groups, racial backgrounds, religions, Christianity (God’s way of living for time and eternity), the internet wave, astronomy and space travel, education, commerce, worldwide travel, conflict with violence between nations, worldwide natural disasters, famine and pestilences.

God-given family life is being attacked and falling apart due to divorce, the sodomite (homosexual- GAY agenda, pornography, adultery, bestiality, polygamy, and all forms of wicked immorality), art, media, unprincipled movies, ungodly forms of music, greed, avarice, hatred, disobedience of children, and the list is expanded in the Bible of I Timothy 4 and I
