Orthodoxy and heresy are in a head-to-head showdown. Will we speak the truth or go along with lies? Are we children of God or of the devil? What does guarding the entrusted deposit look like? Consider these questions and more while reflecting on our time in human history. Do we understand the gravity of our current contest?

What Does the New Testament Say About Sexual Immorality? | Cross Defense

Far too many American Christians treat sexual immorality like it’s not a sin. In this episode of Cross Defense, we survey the New Testament and see just how wrong that delusion is. Do we still think it is loving to speak the Law to Christians committing sin? It doesn’t really seem like it, does it?

Faithful In Truth

This is the video version of Pastor Bramwell’s June 2023 letter to St. Mark.

Jesus knows what His Word does. We do, too, if we read it. And so the call of the steward is to be found faithful. Nothing more. Nothing less. Faithful.

Mr. Blue Bird is no longer on Rev. Bramwell’s shoulder (he’s off Twitter). Find out more about that and learn about the shared godlessness of Marxism and Fascism. The natural man won’t understand, but the Spiritual man sure will.
