Here is a song that has blown me away today. If you are a worship leader, please bear your cross daily and dig deeply into the word of God so that one day you can give the Body of Christ something as precious as this hymn.

Exposing the Errors of the Hebraic Roots Movement (Video #1)
The heresy of Judaizing that was so prevalent in the days of the Apostles has been reborn in the modern Hebraic Roots Movement. It is hard to imagine that what Paul wrote so clearly against in the epistles of Romans, Galatians and Ephesians could ever become popular among Christians, but it has happened. With a few tweaks the ancient heresy of Judaizing has become an accepted movement within Christian churches. To be sure not everything in the movement is heretical, but we must be aware about the dangers of this movement. This is the first in a series of videos in which its dangers are exposed.

Bali Outreach Video
God healed many bodies & opened many hearts on our recent outreach in Bali; here is a video about the trip:
Jesus on Salvation (Gospel of Matthew)
A brother compiled everything Jesus said in the Bible related to salvation. Some of the verses are more directly related than others, but it is interesting to compare our view of salvation with what Jesus said on the topic. He is after all the Lord, & so the red letters are very important! In this post I have only included the quotes from the Gospel of Matthew. It is by far the largest section. Hopefully I will be able to fit the verses from the other three Gospel & from the book of Revelation in my next post.
