They Come To Meet Jesus But Meet Lazarus Instead

In recent days I’ve been giving thought to the counsel of Smith Wigglesworth, given to a class of Bible students in 1927, warning them that if they ever turned from the word of God “to some other place” they could not believe the truth after that.  … Continue reading

For a few weeks now on this blog I have been making mention that many truth-seeking, truth-loving Christian people will need to prepare themselves to experience separation from their much loved denomination or fellowship.  As it is presently, however, there are lots among them who disagree with this … Continue reading

Different Label – Same Stuff In The Bottle!

On a recent national television program, millions of Australian people including myself, watched & listened to a cult leader in his late 40′s tell us he was Jesus Christ.  There’s nothing new in this of course, he’s simply one of many … Continue reading

The Need To Think And Evaluate Evidence

Misguided Love For Jesus – Misguided Fear Of God

Over the years different people have asked me in different ways about the reality & work of Satan the devil and  sin. Questions such as, “How come God allowed this to happen in the first place?” Or, “Why didn’t God get rid of Satan … Continue reading

The Nice People

In my recent post: Satan’s Useful Idiot, I made two statements, one with a question; God is not interested in being nice. Where in the gospels does one see Jesus being nice?  A couple of people were offended.  I don’t know what … Continue reading

Will You Be Standing Or Falling?

I was re-watching a You Tube video from the late David Wilkerson recently, and I was struck by his words, “We have come to a time where every man, every woman, has to get their own word from God.  You can’t get … Continue reading
