Weekly Survey: a new survey every Gregorian Monday.

Many Christians are Christians in name only. They prioritize doing the will of Yahuwah only after they have accomplished other goals they set for themselves. This is why Yahushua, just a few verses after giving the Lord’s Prayer, warned his hearers to get their priorities straight. “You cannot serve [Yah] and mammon.” Where do you stand?

There’s a reason for it, of course, “For He does not afflict willingly, nor grieve the children of men.” (Lamentations 3:33, NKJV) The reason is that struggle gives us opportunities to develop our characters. As someone astutely observed, “The struggle you’re in today is developing the strength you need for tomorrow.” Where do you stand?

When you have been gifted with Heaven’s own resources to fight your battles and conquer your problems, settle for nothing less than a complete victory. Partial victory does not honor Yahuwah the way full and complete victory does. The resources of Heaven are just waiting for your request for aid. Where do you stand?

WLC believes that the coming of Christ during the Day of the Lord is remarkably confirmed in the two Thessalonian epistles. Ironically, these two letters have been used to prove the pre-tribulation view, but they both witness against this in a remarkable way. Where do you stand?

WLC believes that the Bible contains no doctrine of inevitable, irresistible salvation. Every man must make a choice, and happily Yahuwah wants everyone to be saved (1 Tim. 2:4-5). The fact that not everyone will be saved is proof positive of our capacity to choose, that is, to exercise our divinely given “free will” to believe and obey the truth of the Gospel or reject the divine offer. Where do you stand?

Although we believe in the glorious future for Israel in the Millennium, Israel has not yet been converted to the Christian Gospel of salvation. It is still today classified as Paul calls them “enemies of the Gospel” (Rom. 11:28). Israel is a worldly government just like all other current governments. The Jews have been brought back to their historic homeland not by Yah but by Zionism. Where do you stand?

Although WLC does not believe that the church has replaced national Israel, we do not believe that Christians are supposed to be active politically to bring about whatever agenda we think the Bible supports. We believe the Church is not called to such activity but rather to be separate from the governments of this age. Where do you stand?

WLC believes that the replacement theology stands clearly invalidated by Romans 11 (and a mass of OT prophecy), where “Israel” means literal Israel and where Paul tells us that Yahuwah still has plans for them as a nation (vv. 22-32) because they are “beloved for the fathers’ sakes” (v. 28). Where do you stand?

WLC does not believe in so-called “replacement theology,” which proclaims that national Israel is no longer in view as Yahuwah’s covenant people, but rather the Church has fully and permanently replaced Israel. This is a false teaching that was promoted aggressively by the Catholic Church and John Calvin. Where do you stand?

The rich man in Yahushua’s parable was a fool, not because he was rich, or because he wanted to build bigger barns. He was a fool because his focus was on hoarding treasure on earth rather than using it to help others. This would have given him a treasure in the record books of heaven. Where do you stand?

When we relieve the suffering of others in any way we can, we are in a very real way, relieving the suffering of the Father who feels everything they are feeling. Likewise, when we withhold help from those in need, we are withholding that from the Father Himself. Giving to others thus becomes a privilege and an act of worship. Where do you stand?
