Exposing Hidden Agendas: A Call to Discernment

Date: June 30, 2019
Speaker: Pastor Richard

Description:
Pastor Richard's message explores deception in society and the need for discernment. It looks at tactics used to undermine natural rights given by God (Acts 17:26–28), including postmodern criticism influencing culture (2 Peter 2:1–3). With many rejecting Christ as Creator (Romans 1:18–25), Christians must recognize attacks on liberty and stand firmly on the Word (Matthew 7:24–27). Topics covered include:

- Lack of accountability in leadership (Proverbs 28:12–13)
- Overreach of unconstitutional authorities (Romans 13:1–7)
- Inheriting the duty to defend rights (1 Peter 2:13–17)
- Civil government's limitations (Matthew 22:15–22)
- The need for repentance and spiritual renewal (2 Chronicles 7:14)
- This video calls believers to expose hidden agendas by testing the spirits (1 John 4:1-6), praying for wisdom (James 1:5), and walking in the truth (3 John 1:4).
