Here is video #5 from the Youtube archive for this week.

"Defining and Defending Authentic Christianity"

"For the Christian, defending the faith isn't an option. It's a solemn responsibility."

"It should be obvious if you think about it. Claiming to be a Christian doesn't make you a true follower of Christ anymore than calling yourself a vegetarian makes you one regardless of what you believe or do. In order to be a Christian, you must submit yourself completely to Christ and believe the Bible and its teachings."

- Eric Holmberg

"The Milky Way" (Jeff Noblit)

"You have milky churches that demand milky preachers, preach milky sermons to milky Christians who desire to have their bottles refilled with formula each week that they might nurse themselves back to sleep and satisfy their lactose dependency.... It all comes from this idol of glorying in shallowness which I'm calling the Milky Way."

- Jeff Noblit

Here is Pastor Jeff Noblit preaching about The Milky Way. What is the Milky Way? This verse will give you some idea of it:

Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to explain, seeing you are dull of hearing. For when for the time you ought to be teachers, you have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of solid food. For every one that uses milk is unskillful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. But solid food belongs to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
(Heb 5:11-14)

- Charles Haddon Spurgeon

The True Cost and Benefits of Following Christ (Mark Kielar)

Sunday, November 8, 2009

Does following Jesus involve not much more than admiring Mac/PC commercial parodies, owning an iPod, and listening to Christian pop, or is there a Biblical definition of what it means to follow Christ? Did Christ, Himself, define in Scripture what true followers of Christ would face? True Christians: Are you suffering persecution and being called "divisive" because you've dared to question your "pastor's leadership vision"? Have you wondered why this is, and if you're really in the wrong Biblically? If you've ever had these questions and haven't been sure about the correct answers to them, you should listen to this sermon.
