Concerning The Times with Howard Green

In America and Europe, living for Jesus, for the most part, only costs us our reputation, and for many, that’s too much of a cost to bear. You would think that with the gift of hindsight and discernment, the tepid approach of groveling for the world to like and accept us, Christians would see that it doesn’t win disciples but makes false converts. Let's talk about what it means to say: I am not ashamed. Show Notes: A.W. Tozer's book, The Pursuit of God: https://www.amazon.com/Pursuit-God-Updated-W-Tozer/dp/1622452968 Link to Concerning The Times article: I am Not Ashamed https://concerningthetimes.com/i-am-not-ashamed/ Connect with us at: concerningthetimes.com

Many Christian conferences, including end-time Bible prophecy conferences, cost upwards of $50.00 to $100.00. This is profiteering in Jesus's name! Some end-time prophecy teachers use the genre for greedy gain, selfish ambition, and ego. How should Christians respond?

I once read about a sister in Christ who said, "I'm looking for a church and other Christians who don't think this is the time for business as usual." Jesus is coming soon, and I want to remind believers that we have little time left to warn people to come to saving faith before God's Judgment falls on this world. This is no time for business as usual! Show Notes: You can see the original article on concerningthetimes.com.

Pornography is a sin that devastates men, women, marriages, and souls. Let’s examine the root causes, effects, and carnage from pornography in the light of scripture and expose this sin for what it does and where it leads: It steals, kills, destroys, and ultimately ends in hell. We'll also talk about the forgiveness and healing from porn addiction that Jesus offers and a life free from shame and guilt.

There's a place so terrible most preachers won't even preach about it. It's a place Jesus warned about often. Let's look together at what the Bible says about hell. Where will you go the second after you die? Most people will answer they would like to go to heaven. The Bible makes it clear that heaven is one of two places people will spend eternity when they die, and the other place is hell. Some use it as an expletive. Others relegate it to the realm of fantasy and make-believe. While others hope to avoid it at all costs.

Let's look together at the spiritual deception mass marketed by groups like; Hillsong, Bethel, Elevation, and Jesus Culture. It's time to wake apathetic Christian leaders up to the truth. Behind the beautiful melodies, obscured by the fog and hidden behind the spotlights, lies an agenda. Worshiptainment is focused on man, not Jesus.

Many preachers are cowards. Why? Because they value public opinion over what God thinks. This is the fruit of a watered-down American church more interested in gaining numbers, not true disciples. They use methods and marketing to reach the world instead of the gospel as people go into eternity.

Street preaching is perhaps one of the most controversial subjects among both Christians & non-Christians. Much of the controversy is because of false notions about what true biblical evangelism is and the way it has been tarnished by a few bad actors. This video will give you renewed zeal to witness the way Jesus, the early church, and saints of days gone by preached in the public square.
