Interviewing Doreen Virtue

It is good to know the dangers that lurk even in our own churches, perhaps even in our own beliefs. (I know I have cleared out some misunderstandings and misguided beliefs over the years!)

Hello, dear ones, I hope this post finds you all doing well. Today we’ve dropped an episode where we interviewed our sister-in-Christ, Doreen Virtue. Doreen went from being a New Age author to a born again believer when God graciously showed her the truth of His Word. She now spends her days learning more and more about Gods Word, encouraging believers, and warning others about false teachers. She was kind enough to join us on the program and discuss her journey, and give some great advice for helping believers to reach out to New Agers.

If you have family members that have been taken in by the deception of the New Age movement, like Becca and I, then this episode will be helpful for understanding them better. It helps that Doreen has a very kind, and gracious, disposition which has served as a wonderful example to me. I thank God…

VerseD: James 1:13

Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God,” for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one.
James 1:13, ESV

God cannot be bargained with, nor does He tempt us. He may allow us to be tested, and He may let us tell, scream, complain, and plead.

He has a plan, is in control, and waits for us to call on Him for help and wisdom.

VerseD: Galatians 1:10

For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.
Galatians 1:10, ESV

May we always seek to please God above others. Some may be offended, but some may turn and repent to glorify God.

VerseD: 1 John 4:18

There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love.
1 John 4:18, ESV

We should come to Christ because of the fear of our sin falling under God’s wrath. Yet, that fear is washed away with our sin by the blood of Jesus!

VerseD: Hebrews 11:1

Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.
Hebrews 11:1, ESV

Faith is not blind trust. Faith is based on trust in what we have come to know guiding our beliefs.

Because Christ is risen, we have faith in eternal life and His imminent return.

This Sunday at Church: Be Patient With Everyone

It is easier to be patient when you love someone unconditionally. “Love . . . as Christ loved the Church . . .”

VerseD: 1 Peter 3:13

Now who is there to harm you if you are zealous for what is good?

Obeying Christ makes our day-to-day life easier, by and large, yet it may also lead to persecution from non-Christians.

Be ready. Do good. Know Scripture. Draw near to God.

Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.

We can love others without accepting their sin.

We can tell the truth without judgementalism and accusation.

Love people. Speak the truth, but let God handle how it is received.

VerseD: Nahum 1:7

The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; he knows those who take refuge in him.
Nahum 1:7, ESV

God knows who truly seeks Him.

He protects His own.

Ultimately, He has saved us from everlasting death.

VerseD: Jeremiah 33:3

Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known.
Jeremiah 33:3, ESV

Do not merely test God. He says to earnestly seek Him, and, when you call to Him in faith believing Jesus is His Son who died for you, He will answer in ways you do not know.

Walk with Him. Talk with Him.
