Comments Off on Julian Assange brazenly rips off the “World Tomorrow”, Blog, by CGP.

 

The infamous Wikileaks founder, Julian Assange, has started up on Russia’s state-funded RT (formerly Russian Times) cable broadcaster a weekly talk show program, The World Tomorrow. To many it is apparent that Assange ripped off the name of the long-running religious program called The World Tomorrow TV broadcast. Wow, Assange has a real load of hutzpah, but then we already knew that!

    Rather Outspoken on Who Controls the News

    Comments Off on Rather Outspoken on Who Controls the News, Blog, by CGP.

     


    For better than 40 years Dan Rather worked in mainstream journalism. In fact he was a “star” reporter among his fellow journalists from the early 1960s to 2005. Rather worked as the evening news anchor for the elite media outlet—the CBS News network—during a time when the TV news supplanted the newspapers and radio as the most important source of the news that Americans depended upon to keep them up to date with what was going in their nation and world. For Rather, quality journalism demands grit…

    America’s Midwest cursed with drought…

    Comments Off on America’s Midwest cursed with drought…, Blog, by CGP.

     


    I recently returned from a visit to my dad who lives in the irrigated farming area of southern Idaho’s Snake River Valley.  After leaving a very green and lush British Columbia, once I drove south into Washington State and then over the pass through the coastal Cascade mountain range immediately east of Seattle, the dominant impression is one of a heat-blasted, parched-brown countryside…drought conditions…

    Avoiding the Spiritual Pitfalls

    Comments Off on Avoiding the Spiritual Pitfalls, Sermons and Media, Videos, by COG Webcast.

     

    Living in a world that rejects scriptural values presents the believer with many spiritual pitfalls. What are they? How can we avoid them?

     

     

     

     

    • Beware of False Prophets

      Wolves in sheep's clothingWhen Christ instructed his disciples in his Sermon on the Mount he gave them a warning. This warning was a reiteration of a warning given by Moses and repeated by many of the apostles. What was the warning? Beware of False Prophets even ones who do miracles! Jeff Patton examines the scriptures to get a complete picture of the danger posed by these wolves who masquerade in sheep’s clothing. Can you spot one? Do you know what their defining characteristic is?



     

     

    • Beware the Devil’s Devices

      beware the devils devicesWe first meet the Devil’s devices in the garden of Eden. There he sowed doubt in the minds of Adam and Eve with his crafty insinuation. “Is it true that God has said…” He first undermined their trust in God as a God of truth. Then, he appealed to their desire to be wise and live forever, with the infamous, “You shall not surely die!” As the Father of lies he obscured the truth that only God could give eternal life as a gift. And though it was ‘true’ that the tree of knowledge would ‘open their eyes’ and give them knowledge, he used this to deceive.



     

    • Beware — Balaam and the Church

      beware balaam's follyBalaam and the church, what are the lessons for us today? The world is full of irony, like the former KGB head, Vladimir Putin, championing moral conservatism, or the Catholic church espousing religious freedom. Jeff recounts this very old story of double-mindedness, as seen in the biblical account of Balaam.



     

    • Beware Discouragement — Don’t Give Up

      wearing out the saintsIn a world that is contrary to biblical values we are warned of the reality of the adverse environment and its effect of “wearing out the saints,” and thus discouraging, undermining, and frustrating our efforts to serve God wholeheartedly. Are we aware of this danger in our lives and are we prepared to face and overcome the challenge of being “worn out” by the daily difficulties.
