Alex Kremer 3-30-2025 | When Men Call Good Evil and Evil Good

11/1/2025
What happens when truth is flipped upside down—when evil is called good, and good is mocked as evil? In this sobering message from Micah 3, Alex Kremer exposes a culture of corruption, spiritual deception, and willful blindness—one that mirrors our own. Micah doesn’t merely condemn society at large, but holds religious leaders, prophets, and rulers accountable for distorting justice and feeding their own appetites under the guise of peace. Using vivid metaphors and powerful illustrations, Alex lays bare the cost of spiritual compromise and the danger of proclaiming peace when judgment is at the door. But woven through the warning is a redemptive thread: God still calls His people back to truth, humility, and holiness. If you're wondering how to respond when the world turns God's truth upside down—this message will equip you with both discernment and hope. Listen in and take a hard look at who you follow, what you believe, and how you live.

10/28/2025
What happens when God’s patient kindness becomes a final warning instead of an invitation? From Romans and John to Deuteronomy and Luke, Ned Brown guides us through Scripture’s urgent message: if we despise the gospel, reject God’s truth, and live in self‑deception, the “or else” of judgment looms.
