Broken Cisterns and Dancing Shadows: America’s Rejection of God’s Truth

Jeremiah Project Posted on by

There’s an uncomfortable truth we must face: we live in a culture that wants God on its own terms—while drinking from broken cisterns of its own making. The problem is not new. Thousands of years ago, God spoke through the prophet Jeremiah about people who had abandoned Him in pursuit of their own solutions: “My people have committed two sins: They have forsaken me, the spring of living water, and have dug their own cisterns, broken cisterns that cannot hold … Continue reading →

Jeremiah Project Posted on by

What is truth?, you might ask. That’s what Pilate asked Jesus (John 18:38), and people are still asking today. The Greek word used in Scripture for truth is alétheia [Strongs 225]. In ancient Greek culture, alḗtheia was synonymous for “reality” as the opposite of illusion, i.e. fact. Truth’s Relation to Reality Aristotle defined truth in his book, Metaphysics, Book IV, Part 7. He says, “To say of what is that it is not, or of what is not that it … Continue reading →

You cannot recognize a false teaching unless you know what the truth looks like. In today’s modern society we are led to believe that truth is relative and objective truth is non-existent.  If you buy into that philosophy, you will be ill equipped and easily deceived by any sort of false teaching coming down the pike.

Signs of the Last Days: Increase of Wickedness

Jeremiah Project Posted on by

There is a growing pattern of wickedness, moral confusion, and open lawlessness spreading through our society today—one that mirrors the final chapters of civilizations throughout history. Whenever a nation drifted from God’s standards, elevating human desire above divine truth, decline soon followed. This same pattern is now visible in America. As more people reject God’s Word as the ultimate authority, they embrace ideas and behaviors that once would have been unthinkable. What was once called sin is now celebrated. What … Continue reading →

The Misleading Left – Right Paradigm

Jeremiah Project Posted on by

Most Americans have been brainwashed to believe they have only two choices when it comes to selecting their political leaders. It’s either a Republican or a Democrat. They rarely even consider there are other choices. Rather than choosing a candidate that better reflects their values, they choose instead “the lesser of two evils.” And, they get what they choose… “evil.” Beyond their rhetoric, there is very little difference between Republicans and Democrats in their actions, particularly in the BIG issues. … Continue reading →

Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?” The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you … Continue reading →

How harmful is smoking to smokers? Public health advocates who claim one out of every three, or even one out of every two, smokers will die from a smoking-related illness are grossly exaggerating the real threat. The actual odds of a smoker dying from smoking before the age of 75 are about 1 in 12. In other words, 11 out of 12 life-long smokers don’t die before the age of 75 from a smoking-related disease. In a 1998 article titled … Continue reading →
