The Truth Concerning the Birth of Jesus: What the Manger Scene Tells Us – Dr. Mike Spaulding

Here we are again, another Christmas Sunday. The celebration of the birth of our Savior is a few days away. As I have done for the last couple of years, I’m breaking from our current Lord’s Day study, in our case this year, the book of Acts. I’m taking this Lord’s Day to teach about our Christmas celebration. Those who have been with us here at Calvary for a while may recall that two years ago, I titled the Christmas Sunday teaching, Debunking the Debunkers. Then last year I titled the Christmas Sunday teaching, Merry Non-Pagan Christmas.

The reason I have done this for the last couple of years is because the noise around Christmas gets louder all the time. I’m speaking of all the people who take to social media to remind the rest of us that Christmas is pagan. These people tell us that it originated with Roman Catholicism or Constantine, or the Druids, or some other pagan demonic source. Critics tell us that the day is really about the festival of the “Birth of the Unconquered Sun” or, Sol Invictus.[1]

Is any of this true? It is absolutely not true yet so many who profess Jesus Christ seem to take great pains to criticize and denigrate other Christians who celebrate the day set aside to commemorate the incarnation of the savior of the world.

Revelation 17-18 Show Us The Near Future – Babylon Will Fall

I hear people say “The world is falling apart.” I take a different view. I believe things are falling into place. We are marching toward the culmination of Jesus’ destruction of wickedness and evil upon the earth. Revelation 18 offers details of the true nature of the end times civic and commercial Babylon, as well as the complete and total annihilation of it. This one world government is coming into sharp focus in our day and will for a short time have complete control over all aspects of life for those “who dwell on the earth.”[1]

It appears to me that the current race to implement the United Nations agendas across the earth, the rapid development of AI, transhumanist technology such as Elon Musk’s Neuralink, and the virulent Anti-Israelism evidenced across the earth, is proof that we are on the cusp of a drastic change in how we live our lives day by day. At stake is our freedom and liberty as Americans, our rights of self-determination under a form of government where we are meant to have input, and the very ideals of Americanism. Add to this the creation and expansion of BRICS[2] and the push by the US Government working in conjunction with the Federal Reserve to implement a new government controlled crypto currency, and you have the makings of a totalitarian global regime.

The Importance of Correct Exegesis – Dr. Mike Spaulding

22 And Jesus answered saying to them, “Have faith in God. 23 Truly I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is going to happen, it will be granted him. 24 Therefore I say to you, all things for which you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and they will be granted you. Mark11:22-24

Pretty clear, right? Whatever we ask for in prayer, if we just believe, it will be given to us. What people think is impossible, picking up a mountain and casting it into the sea or literally, whoever speaks to a mountain, “be thrown into the sea,” if he believes, it will happen. In other words, nothing is impossible with faith.

Friends that is not what Jesus is saying at all. Your faith, great or small, in abundance or lacking, is often not the point.

6 Signs We Have Arrived at a Repeat of the 1930s and 40s! – Olivier Melnick

The 1930s and 1940s are here, and we know what’s next! I have warned Christians that history will eventually repeat itself and here we are. The question is: “What side of history do we want to be on as it pertains to Israel and the Jews?” In fact, the more important question really is:”Do we want to be on God’s side or not?” I see six signs that we have reached that dangerous point of a repeat of the 1930s and 1940s.

Fake Israel? Fake Jews? The Poison Pill of Conspiracy

I received another email recently from someone claiming that current Israel is not biblical Israel. The writer further stated that the people we call the Jews today are not Jews at all. The typical rant ensued about the wickedness of modern Israel, Zionism, the Mossad, and the Ashkenazi Jews who control the world. Normally embedded in the rant is some expletive about Israel controlling America.

I receive these types of emails berating me for being so naïve, blind, deceived, and several other things I can’t print, all because I support the modern state of Israel and its right to exist in her land without constant threat of terrorism.
