In Colossians chapter two we find a timeless warning about the evil tyranny of man-made doctrines in the church. How does that warning apply to Christians today? What dangers must we guard against in our time? As we survey the landscape we find that two movements in today's Evangelical church are at the top of the list. One of them is the Purpose-Driven Church movement, and we see this clearly as we compare the roots and the fruits of this movement with the problem indicators that Paul gives us in Colossians two. Stay tuned to learn more.
This is a correction to our recent article, "The PCA's Apostasy: No More Lines In the Sand".
In recent messages we've been studying Paul's warning against the tyranny of man-made doctrines based on counterfeit authority, in Colossians chapter two. As we look at church history we find that one Bible passage has been misused more than any other, in men's attempts to establish counterfeit authority within the church. That passage is Matthew 16:19, where Jesus says, "And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven." Exactly what are those keys? Who has the authority to use them, and how? Stay tuned for the answers, as we continue our study of this vital subject.
The Roman Catholic church claims that the Pope is the one they call "the Vicar of Christ" - the one true representative of Christ on earth. Rome claims that the Pope alone has "infallible teaching authority" in the church. But what does Scripture say? Who is the genuine representative of Christ on earth? Who is the One who Jesus said has infallible teaching authority in the Church? Stay tuned for the answers, as we continue our series titled Truth Above All from Colossians chapter two.
Friends, we're continuing our study of Paul's warning against man-made doctrines based on counterfeit authority, in Colossians chapter two. We've seen that the great counterfeit authority that dominates church history up to the present time is the counterfeit authority of the Roman Catholic church. The Roman Catholic church judges every word of God by the word of men.

Is this God's prescribed order, or is it a perverted order? Is the church supposed to interpret the Bible according to its traditions or some other standard, or is the Bible itself is the final authority? What does Scripture itself say about this?

The Bible tells us that the church, rather than standing in judgment over the Word of God, must be judged by the Word of God. Why is that the case? Stay tuned for the answers to those questions as we continue our series, Truth Above All, in Colossians chapter two.
We live in a time of many false gospels. We find them in the world, and often we also find them in the visible church. We need to be absolutely clear on the content of the Gospel message that we are to proclaim to our lost friends and neighbors. And so today, we hope you will stay tuned for an important study.

On this Easter Sunday weekend we're taking a break from our series of messages in Colossians for a special message from First Corinthians chapter 15 titled, "The Essence of the Gospel."
We are continuing our study of counterfeit authority as the root of man-made doctrines, as we find this in Colossians chapter two. In the long history of the church, one great counterfeit authority dominates the scene - that of the Roman Catholic church. No entity has accumulated and exercised more counterfeit authority for a longer span of time than the church of Rome. No visible church has propagated a greater body of man-made doctrines than the church of Rome. On what does Rome base its authority? What does Scripture say in response? Was Peter the "rock" on which Christ built His church? Stay tuned for the answers to those questions as we continue our series, "Truth Above All", in Colossians chapter two.
The Bible tells us that counterfeit authority is the foundation of man-made doctrines. What kinds of counterfeit authorities were at work in Colosse at the time the Apostle Paul wrote to the church there, warning believers to remain free from the tyranny of man-made doctrines? Stay tuned for the answer, as we continue our series titled "Truth Above All" from Colossians chapter two beginning at verse eighteen.
In just nine words in our English Bibles, the prayer of the dying thief gives us the vast height, breadth, and depth of the Gospel message.
Camping's apology for his false prophecies does not constitute true repentance for decades of heresy.
