A growing number of evangelicals are confused about who Jesus Christ truly is and that confusion is not harmless.

Recent State of Theology surveys reveal a troubling drift away from the biblical confession of Christ’s full deity. This isn’t a secondary issue. A Jesus who is not fully God cannot save.

In today’s Weekly Watch, Dave examines the rise of “New Arianism” in the church and why recovering biblical Christology matters for the gospel itself.

Suffering is not outside God’s purposes.
It is often the place where His nearness is felt most deeply.

In this Contending for the Word Q&A, we reflect on how Christians can walk through suffering with real hope, not by denying pain, but by trusting Christ, clinging to Scripture, and resting in God’s faithfulness.

If you are walking through a hard season, you are not alone. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted.

On today’s New Age to Christ devotional, Doreen Virtue reminds us of Jesus’ command in Matthew 6:14–15: if we refuse to forgive others, God will not forgive our trespasses.

This isn’t about earning salvation it’s about walking in freedom and obedience as God’s children. Even when emotions run high, God gives us hope and strength. Forgiveness is both a command and a gift of God's grace.

Sound doctrine isn’t optional for the Christian life it’s the foundation that shapes what we believe, how we worship, and how we live.

When the church drifts from Scripture, it doesn’t move toward freedom or clarity it moves toward confusion, compromise, and counterfeit gospels.

Now is the time to return to the Word of God with conviction, confidence, and courage.

There’s a growing teaching in the NAR and deliverance movement claiming that certain spirits like Jezebel or Athaliah are assigned to destroy destinies, families, or callings.

But when we slow down and open Scripture, we find something very different.

In this new episode of NAR to Christ, Dawn Hill walks through the Bible, tests this teaching against God’s Word, and points us back to the sufficiency of Christ and the armor of God.

Truth matters.
Discernment matters.
Christ is enough.

Temptation is real, but so is the strength God provides.
As believers, we do not stand in our own power. God has equipped us with His truth, His righteousness, His Word, faith, prayer, and the hope of salvation.

Stand firm. Put on the armor of God.
Christ has already won the victory.

So many people today are searching for truth in books, spiritual experiences, movements, or teachings,but only one path leads to life.
Jesus said, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life” (John 14:6).
There is no other way to God, no alternate path, and no hidden spiritual shortcut.
Only Christ saves.

Listen or watch today’s New Age to Christ devotional with Doreen Virtue and be encouraged to stand firmly on God’s Word:

False teaching isn’t just a disagreement about theology. Scripture warns us because it distorts the gospel, harms the church, and leads people away from Christ.

Today's Contending for the Word Q&A looks at why the Bible speaks so strongly about false teaching and why guarding the truth matters.

Neglecting sound doctrine is never neutral. When the Church stops teaching the truth, confusion replaces clarity, compromise replaces conviction, and the gospel itself gets reshaped into something it is not.

Now is the time to stand firm, hold fast to Scripture, and remember that biblical clarity is kindness.

Discernment is essential, but it must be shaped by Scripture, humility, and love. We are called to guard the truth without losing compassion or growing cynical. Keep your eyes on Christ as you pursue wisdom and grace.

The Early Church burned millions of dollars’ worth of occult materials because following Christ meant leaving darkness behind, not redefining it.

Sorcery, manifestation, tarot, crystals, astrology, energy healing, “white magic” Scripture doesn’t give loopholes. It gives warnings.

Christ doesn’t save us so we can keep the things He died to free us from.
