This DVD is a message based on this article.
I was talking with a pastor after a Wednesday night service and he mentioned that I said I had done an article comparing English Bible translations. He called me up later and asked me to come back and present the contents of that article I sent out in about 2002 to my mailing list for the Pacific Waves Newsletter which, unfortunately, I can no longer afford to publish and mail. However an archive of past issues of that newsletter can be found here. In that article I detailed a number of good and bad resources for pastors including Bible translations, concordances, commentaries, Bible dictionaries, etc. I present an edited version of part of that article on this DVD, particularly dealing with English Translations of the Bible. Translation is a very detailed endeavor and should only be undertaken by those with a proper education in that subject and a sound doctrinal background. I read a few books on that subject and it helped me understand the complexities involved. Hebrew is a rich language so it is hard to distill one Hebrew word down to one English word. Greek is a very technical language and it is also not easy to translate. This is why it is imperative to use the good English translations out there for comparison along with a good concordance and Bible dictionary.

The Spirit of Error
|
by J.C. Philpot, 6/27/12
Whether we set forth truth or whether we expose error, and we can scarcely do the one without at the same time performing the other, the Word of God must ever be the grand armoury whence we take the weapons of our spiritual warfare. This is both apostolic precept and apostolic practice. "Take the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God" (Eph. vi. 17). "If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God" (1 Pet. iv. 11). "The weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds" (2 Cor. x. 4).

Where Are We Going?
| by David Dombrowski, 7/3/12
At Lighthouse Trails, we have dedicated ourselves over the years to expose the delusions that have crept into the church and to exhort believers to cling to the Gospel message as our only true assurance of safety. May I say, too, that most of the opposition (and often the most vehement) we have encountered comes from those who call themselves Christians.

Dream Catchers - Those Popular Spidery "Sacred Hoops" | by Nanci Des Gerlaise from Muddy Waters: an insider's view of North American Native Spirituality, 6/29/12
Dream catchers-those spidery "sacred hoops" with feathers. They originated with the Ojibwa tribe during the '60s and '70s, supposedly to protect a sleeper by "catching" bad dreams or evil spirits. Then they caught on with other tribes and spread through the New Age movement into popular culture. Today, it is not uncommon to see dream catchers in gift and variety stores.
