I know that you talk about false teachers. Are there women that you would recommend?
Hi Janis- We recommend that you primarily listen to and learn from the godly older women in your own church (Titus 2:3-5). That’s God’s plan for our discipleship. However, in your leisure time, here are some godly men and women you could listen to. (Don’t limit yourself to women. There are a lot more doctrinally sound men out there than there are doctrinally sound women.) Additionally, if you’d like to go back through our past episodes, we would recommend anyone we’ve ever had as a guest on the show. Hope this helps!♥️
Regarding Stories of Bible, after looking at the website, I don’t think the author is Catholic – I think the “author” is AI. If you look at her photo and all the many misspellings throughout the website, it is very likely an AI creation from a foreign country.
I guess that’s a possibility. Thanks for listening!
I love your podcast and learn a lot from it. I must say, though, that the music you play at the beginning and at the end makes me laugh every time because it reminds me of striptease music. I know you would never want to promote that and that there has to be another name for the music style you chose, but that’s what it reminds me of every time 😂. Theresa
Hi Theresa- Thanks for listening. We addressed out bumper music on our Feb. 26 episode, “Off the Cuff”. From the comments we’ve received over the years, about 90% of our listeners either like or don’t care one way or the other about the music and only about 10% dislike it, but, as we said in the episode, we are open to suggestions and submissions of music you like better, so find some or compose/record some and send it on in! :0)
My church women’s group did the Kristie Mclleland Luke in the Land study. In the book, on almost every page, she drove this point about “bringing God’s Kingdom to Empire” and “bringing Kingdom to earth” over and over and over. This was the central point of the book, that we must strive to bring Kingdom to earth.
Then, in the very last chapter, on the last page or two of the book was her agenda finally revealed….she introduced this Jewish concept called Tikkum Olam which means “to repair the world” and said we should adopt this. We must go out and fix the world of its problems.
No talk of sin or how it’s not our job as Christians to repair the consequences of sin in the world. No talk of how Jesus took care of this on the cross.
This woman is a deceiver.
Thank you for this info, Barb. I’m going to be writing a discernment article on Kristi sometime in the next few months. Would you mind if I include your comment in that article? I can omit your name if you like.
Thanks for the reply. Yes, you can use my comment.
Here is the exact quote from the book Luke In The Land study (on page 148-149), very last pages of the text.
“The Jewish people have a phrase that has captured my heart and attention over the last year. It’s the tikkun olam – the “repair of the world” or the “fixing of the world.” For the Jews, the invitation is to engage the world, not retreat from it. The Jewish people are living out the mandate given to their ancestors Abraham and Sarah in Genesis 18:19– to do what is just (mishpat) and right (tzedakah). They are engaging the world to heal it, to better it, to embody the work of tikkun olam.”
Then, in the participation questions, she asks “How can you engage and embody the work of tikkun olam in your everyday life?”
This is how the study ends, this is the culminating message that she has worked up to in every chapter.
I believe it’s deception to give that people the idea that they can repair the world, even if they’re working in the Holy Spirit. That’s not what Jesus told us to do.
I’m not sure if this is NAR or Dominionism or what, but it’s unbiblical.
Thanks so much, Barb!
