Aug 24, 2025 • Brian Rhodus
Brian Rhodus discussed Albert Edward Towleton, who counterfeited $7 million in 2008 using an inkjet printer and special paper. He highlighted the US government's efforts to combat counterfeit currency. Brian then drew parallels to spiritual counterfeits in Christianity, citing Simon the Sorcerer in Acts 8, who sought to buy the power to give the Holy Spirit. Peter condemned Simon's greed and called for repentance. Brian emphasized that true faith cannot be bought and that genuine conversion is essential. He concluded by urging the congregation to examine their faith sincerity.
