Pastor Troy Gramling – 9 Minutes to Share 1 Thing
Hmmm… stumbled upon this today.
I got a few immediate observations and it’ll take us about 1 minute to go through them.
Look at 1 Thessalonians 5:22.
Abstain from every form of evil.
The skull and crossbones does it for me. It is not very attractive, and immediately connotes evil, it screams STAY AWAY! I know it’s popular, but these things have sinister meanings. Is this attractive and approachable, or worse, just trying to be relative to the culture?
And while we are on that subject, Romans 12:2.
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
Leader, especially pastors should especially heed the admonitions in scripture against conformity and evil, just saying. This includes personal decorum and MODESTY so as NOT to bring undue attention to yourself.
We have become so “seeker” sensitive, we have lost biblical discernment. (BTW Romans 3:11 says there is no such thing as a seeker.) We have forgotten to look in the mirror God gives us… His Word, and then APPLY it to our lives, including our dress!
It is an interesting case study in subtle yet evident personal pride and conformity, considering the subject of the video. This is exactly what Jesus warned us about in Matthew 24:24 and Revelation 3:17-18. There is a subtle attack on the church, and it is coming from everywhere, but the most pernicious subtlety is from the inside. Paul said this subtle attack would come from leaders in the church.
But I am afraid that as the serpent deceived Eve by his cunning, your thoughts will be led astray from a sincere and pure devotion to Christ. For if someone comes and proclaims another Jesus than the one we proclaimed, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or if you accept a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it readily enough. Indeed, I consider that I am not in the least inferior to these super-apostles. Even if I am unskilled in speaking, I am not so in knowledge; indeed, in every way we have made this plain to you in all things. (2 Corinthians 11:3-6)
You’ll put up with it, and before you know it, you will be led astray. Be a Berean. Look in your bibles, see to it that which these “teachers” proclaim, in thought, deed or word aligns with what the Bible says.
But good news, Jesus is proclaimed at 8:30! The question is, which Jesus?

Man tries to send flowers to Fort Hood shooter, calls him a "hero"
Flori-DUH is right!
He sent flowers to a cowardly murderer and called him a hero?
I went to this man’s website, and was not surprised to find a self-described educated man who fails at logic and critical thought. He claims to be “the reincarnated Apostle Peter” and “the coming son of man.”
Hmmm, considering the times we live in, Matthew 24:4-5 comes to mind. Further instruction by Jesus HIMSELF in Matthew 24 describes exactly how to expect in the end times. Reading further in this chapter, we come upon a final warning in Matthew 24:26. Matthew 24:27 describes exactly what to expect when Jesus returns to the Earth… everyone alive, everywhere will KNOW (I think at the same time) WHEN JESUS touches His foot on Earth again!
Two words comes to mind to describe this man’s interpretation… BLASPHEMY and HERESY.
Read the judgment in Matthew 24:28. Mr Ross’ “doctrine” is a rotting corpse on which vultures gather!
