In reference to Church history, the late Derek Prince said, “Wherever Satan has persuaded theologians and ministers to question Scripture he has always brought them to the point where they actually deny it.” How does it work? First they question Scripture, then they doubt Scripture, then they disbelieve Scripture, then they disobey Scripture. From this pattern, Satan …

The World Hates You
Why is it so many Church leaders seem unable or unwilling to come to terms with the profound truth Jesus declared in John 15:18, If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you ? It’s pretty clear … the world hates you. So why do you spend all your time and energy trying …
The Key to Spiritual Vitality
Listening to an Internet audio sermon recently, the pastor told his people that if they thought he was not ordained of God, speaking a message from God, then they should go look for a church where they believed this was happening. He repeated his words finishing with, “then get out now!” I don’t know why he said …
All Servants of Satan Are Liars
In response to the question of whether or not Christianity’s Jesus Christ presented a truer picture of God than that of Islam’s Mohammed, the newly-elected archbishop of the Church of Sweden has been quoted as saying, “One cannot reduce the whole of religious theology, that is to say the question of how different religions relate to …
Turning the Ashamed Into the Not Ashamed
A member of a television audience asked the panelists on the program, “Which so-called dangerous idea do you each think would have the greatest potential to change the world for the better if it were implemented?” The homosexual activist among them spoke for population/birth control, the aging feminist spoke for freedom and the one Christian …
A Half Gospel Equals No Gospel
Years ago a Christ-rejecting gospel mocker asked me, “If your Jesus and His gospel are all that you claim them to be, why aren’t more people interested?” My response, “My Jesus and His gospel require a person to turn from their evil ways and turn to God. Most of them are like you, they won’t do that.” …
Offended By the Name ‘Jesus’
The director of a city-owned cemetery in Colorado, USA refused to allow the name ‘Jesus’ to be engraved within Christianity’s fish symbol on a recently deceased woman’s headstone. Why? First they were told it wouldn’t fit, then they were told it might offend people. When asked by the family to reconsider, he refused, saying, “What if somebody wanted to …
So Which Judgment for You?
The religious lady spoke of her fear of having to face God, “On Judgment day.” It was one of the reasons she got out of bed early nearly every week morning to attend Mass, believing if she was faithful in that practice, God would look upon her with mercy on that day. She’s not the only one to hold …
The Reprobate Mind
Bible Christians in the Western world are soon to come under intense persecution for their faith in Jesus Christ. In Europe, Canada and the USA, pastors and chaplains are being persecuted and prosecuted for praying publicly, “in the name of Jesus.” That’s not happening here in Australia yet, but given that this nation is a follower …
That’s the Voice and Language of Satan
In a few posts on this blog I have referred to (some) leaders and preachers of today’s church as, “pulpit devils” or “spiritual cowards” – emissaries of Satan the devil, slaves to political correctness and the fear of man Proverbs 29:25. These are the ones who deny, dismiss, and or water down what the Bible declares on certain issues, or, they’ll reinterpret …
