Find Jesus where you may, He is the antagonist of those who would lessen the authority of Holy Scripture. “It is written,” is His weapon against Satan, His argument against wicked men. The learned at this hour scoff at the Book and accuse of Bibliolatry those of us who reverence the divine Word; but in […]

From that time Jesus began to preach and say, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” (Matthew 4:17) The message that Jesus brought to the people—the “great light” He revealed to those “sitting in the land of shadow and death”—was always very clear. “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Our […]

People are disturbed and troubled by the real Gospel: under the false gospel they can sleep unto destruction. Bring out the Sword: it is meant to wound; let it exercise its salutary sharpness. The Gospel has two edges so that none may play with it. When they think to run their fingers along the back […]

But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God’s grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many! Again, the gift of God is not like the result of […]

As a pastor it seems good to present the following unsolicited email as further illustration of the blind trust given to apostates (at best) like Roman Catholic mystic Richard Rohr. It concerns the Apprising Ministries post Richard Rohr: Conversations, Convergence And Emergence Apostasy. The writer of the email apparently took exception to my comment about […]

In their post Tribal Demonic “Ministry” at A Little Leaven they place up the second video below.  Apprising Ministries has been documenting the spiritual deception of altered states of consciousness as in Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism ala Living Spiritual Teacher and Quaker mystic Richard Foster for years now. So when I saw the Joyner footage it immediately reminded me of the whirling dervishes of the mystical tradition of Sufi […]

From an interview with Stephen Crittenden of The Religion Report on ABC Radio National: Stephen Crittenden: Let me just finally give another example from the opposite side of the ledger. There’s a great term called universalism. And I guess at base it’s the idea that in the end, no-one’s in hell, everyone’s going to heaven, […]

The Center for Action and Contemplation (CAC) wants you to mark March 20-22, 2009 on our calendars for the CAC sponsored Conversations, Convergence and Action (CCA). The CAC website encourages us: Come to the first large gathering of Roman Catholic, Mainline Protestant, Evangelical, and other Christians seeking to explore this emergence and convergence together. You’ll […]

Ever wonder what happens when the Lord’s people do not follow His command to come away from the pagan world but instead mingle with “the other” and begin to borrow from their religions: they mingled with the nations and adopted their customs. They worshiped their idols, which became a snare to them. They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons. They shed innocent blood, the […]

Charles Spurgeon battled the original cult of liberalism in what is known as The Downgrade Controversy. And so what this man powerful in Christ says in this short message to follow is so crucial. It’s eternally important now that gellatinous man-pleasers occupy the chairs of authority within evanjellyfish who are embracing e.g. Rob Bell from the cult of postliberalism […]
