Discernment or Deception: Which Will You Choose? part 3

In this final installment of "Discernment or Deception: Which Will You Choose?" Eric continues the live teaching by reminding us that biblical Christians will be aware of the days they live in - just like the leaders of the tribe of Issachar who understood the times and knew how to respond in the day they lived in (I Chron. 12:32).

Eric concludes by reminding us of Solomon's request before God. The King didn't ask for power over his foes, or long life, or for riches, but instead, he asked God to make him discerning. This powerful truth is sorely needed in the Church today and in the lives of each individual seeking to please the Lord.

In part two of the message, Eric continues to document and expose some of the many abberant theologies and near cult-like ideas that dot the Christian landscape and that are passede off as "evangelical" today. Covering the gauntlet from "Seeker Sensitive" to "Purpose Driven" the warnings come in rapid fire. A main focus in this weeks message is Jesus' words warning those who had walked with Him and seen the many proofs that He was indeed the Messiah. In Matthew 24 Jesus warned them and speak to us as well when He said, "Do not be deceived!"

The Errors of the Emergent Church part 4 (revisited)

In this final session of the series Eric recaps and draws us to the only conclusion possible for biblical thinkers - that the Emergent Church movement really isn't Christianity at all. He summarizes that those leading this Postmodern redefinition of Christianity have taken the movement perilously outside the boundaries of orthodoxy into blatant apostasy endangering the eternal life of any who follow them. Instead of continuing in the faith as Paul exhorted his son in the faith, Timothy, to do, the Emergent movement has dismantled historic Christianity, left the Bible without doctrine or context, and inspired a spirit of rebellion among its followers. For authentic Believers, our task remains to lovingly refute and correct error and then to teach the truth whenever possible to a lost and corrupt world - including those who claim to be "Christian" inside the Emergent heresy.

The Errors of the Emergent Church part 3 (revisited)

In part three of the series Eric outlines the warnings from the Apostle Paul of diverging away from authentic, biblically sound doctrine. This message includes many quotes from Emergent leaders illustrating the very problem true Christians face in these last days. Eric also points out one of the core issues - Emergent leaders continually describe themselves and what they advocate as "Evangelical." The action needed here is "test everything" (I Thess. 5:21-22) matching all teaching against the one and only true Gospel (Gal. 1:8-9).

Eric's most requested seminar teaching for conferences and churches! This week Eric Barger, defines the roots of this unbiblical movement which has swept through evangelicalism. Learn from Scripture as Eric outlines both the need and the command we have to "test everything." Pulling no punches, Eric warns that just as with the many other cults which has devastated and eternally destroyed millions, the Emergent Church found its genesis inside Christendom through captivating teachers and unsuspecting followers who either didn't know or didn't care about the Scriptural admonition to abide by the tried and true doctrines which ARE Christianity.

Understanding the Creation - Evolution Controversy part 2: The Case from Science

Eric Barger, and his guest, Jay Seegert, of the Creation Education Center, continue discussing the creation vs. evolution debate.

In part two, Jay Seegert addresses the misconception that evolution is supported by infallible and numerous lines of evidence for all areas of science. But as Jay points out, this really isn't an academic issue or debate. Its really not about the facts and science. Its actually a spiritual issue.

Seegert also defines the very term "evolution," speaks to the issue of origins of the universe, and together with Eric Barger, debunks the popular yet misguided idea that an authentic Christian can believe in the theory of evolution and yet be true to New Testament Christianity and the claims of deity by Jesus Christ.
