Cult leaders have present themselves as Pastors of a church. Today we will discuss how to differentiate between a cult and a church.
Key Points:
A skeptical man sees little difference between a religion and a cult.The Sheppard takes care of the sheep. The sheep don’t take care of the Sheppard. The church belongs to the Lord, not a preacher or charismatic leader.

When I was 25, I found myself in the midst of a quarter-life crisis. My business failed, my relationship was falling apart and I lost the things I valued most. During the same week, I began Bible Study with a pastor and saw a psychologist. Since then, many Christians have asked if a true believer really needs a psychologist.
Key Points:
There are countless key verses that say we should take all of our cares and problems to the Lord in prayer. There are many cultural and religious stigmas around therapy. Therapy is viewed as showing weakness or lacking faith.Christs see specialists for medical and financial advice. Why not seek the advice of a psychologist?

Have you ever noticed that the vast majority of people that profess Christs seem to fall away within a few years? I believe the modern church does a horrible job of setting expectations for a new life in Christ.
Key Points:
Telling new Christians they will get their heart's desire sets them up for false expectations. Two Christian opponents may both pray for victory.Complete faith in a lie does not make it true. Many people believe in false prophecy. God does not bend to their faith.God never promises we won't have storms. He promises to go through them with us.

Recently I have been doing a lot of self-study to be a more balanced man. In my study, I learned about many cultures having a rite of passage to so symbolize maturity. I wondered if Christians have any rites of passage.
Key Points:
A Rite of passage is a ceremonial event that marks the passage from one state to anotherA wedding ceremony symbolizes the end of two separate lives beginning of a new life as one.Baptism pictures the death of one's old self, burial, and resurrection in Christ.

The other day I overheard a video of an older man teaching a young man about forgiveness. The sound advice came from a familiar but unlike voice. It was none other than "Iron Mike" Tyson. Today we will examine how his advice lines up with Christian Concepts, drawn from the Bible.
Key Points:
There really is no limit to the number of times Jesus expects us to forgive a person that offends us.Even while we are God's enemy, He is willing to forgive us and offers reconciliation.Vengeance belongs to the Lord. We all reap what we sow.
