Discernment in Christianity: Learning from Jen Hatmaker’s Fall

By Elizabeth Prata

SYNOPSIS

I discuss the decline of Jen Hatmaker’s faith, comparing it to the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Hatmaker’s shift towards affirming same-sex relationships and her promotion of faith deconstruction have led to her obvious departure from Christianity. I urge discernment and warns against false teachers who undermine true faith.

Kay Cude poetry: Are you known? Evangelism: Are you ready?

Are you known?

Are you ready?

A clear, simple, and wonderful explanation of the Gospel. Eternity can come for you at any moment. Are you ready? Poetry by Kay Cude

The Night of Golgotha, 1869, Vasily Vereshchagin

Are You Known?
Did Christ see your face from the Cross at Golgotha? There your sin was laid upon Him and remains your effective condemnation if you have rejected Him. Me la The Son of God. He is Messiah. He is The Only Acceptable Sacrifice, blameless and without sin. He is the The Ransom of The Lord God Almighty provided for the forgiveness of your sin.

Understand, there is nothing unfamiliar to Him about your face. He has known your name from before eternity past. Before He created all living things before He laid the foundatione of the heavens and the earth, before the birth, life and death of centuries of your parental ancestors; before kings and kingdoms rose and fell, HE determined to die in your appointed place of condemnation to reconcile you to God

He knew every life choice you would make, every word you would speak, and every heart-decision you would put into physical action.
This All-Knowing Christ Jesus, this Saviour-Redeemer, is God The Son, and He has forever known who you are. But, are you one who has never known Him?

I AM The Resurrection and The Life, he who believes in Me will live, even if he dies, and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die. DO YOU! believe this?” John 11:25-26

What will YOU do with Jesus?

Therefore I say unto you that you will die in your sins, unless you believe that I AM HE you will die in your sins.” John 8:24

“For there is One God, and One Mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. who gave Himself as a Ransom for all, The Testimony given at the Proper Time.”
1 Timothy 2:5-6

Salt Represents Life and Belief in Christianity

By Elizabeth Prata

SYNOPSIS

I share my experiences in New England, relating the traditions of spring. I connect this to the biblical concept of salt, emphasizing its preservative, flavorful, and corrosive qualities. Believers, like salt, are meant to influence the world positively as “salt and light” while also understanding salt is a corrosive to some.
