The Counterfeit Plan Of Salvation Of 'UNSHACKLED!'

Acts 16:28-31, “But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here. Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas, And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.”

Over the years, I have written numerous ministry articles refuting Pacific Garden Mission's (PGM) false doctrine. We hear a lot about “fake news nowadays. Well, there are many fake gospels as well. Since 1950, PGM has broadcast their popular radio program in Chicago called 'UNSHACKLED!' Their latest episode #3942 is titled: James Blair.

Here is an excerpt from the heretical presentation, and then afterwards I will break it down to explain what is unbiblical about much of it...
Minister speaking to James: God wants to save you from going to a burning Hell that lasts forever. He did it because He wants you to be with him in Heaven forever. Hebrews chapter 9 verse 27 says, “It is appointed unto men once to die, and after this the judgment.” If you died tonight, do you know where your soul would go? If not, you need to repent of your sins, and by faith, invite Jesus into your heart to become your savior and the Lord of your life. Say “yes” to Jesus and you can know where you will spend eternity.

PGM Narrator: Friend, Christ died for your sins, for what the law could not do in that it was weak from the flesh, God sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, condemned sin in flesh. This is the Good News! Redemption not achieved, but received; for by grace are defeated from faith, it is the gift of God not of works, not of works; not of striving, lest any man should boast; therefore, the call is clear, repent and believe. Turn from sin, and place your faith in Him who has already finished the work.

Daughter: Because of the commitments that came with salvation, I had planned to wait till I was 40 to get saved. But the Lord drew me that night and I went to the altar, where I asked God to save me. I confessed every sin I could think of. We were very late getting home.

Mother:  You were saved tonight, weren't you?

Daughter: Yes, how did you know?

Mother:  I could tell by looking at you. 

Daughter: That's why we're late, I had a lot of sin to confess. And I sure feel clean.

Father: I couldn't figure out why a 13-year-old had so many sins to confess.

Daughter: I wanted to be sure I was really saved Dad.

Mother:  Now grow up to be a Sunday School teacher or something.

—[Emphasis added] 'UNSHACKLED!' - Episode #3942, James Blair

All of the following are unbiblical rubbish, damnable heresy:
  1. You need to repent of your sins - Not one verse in the inspired King James Bible teaches that you must repent “of your sins” to get to Heaven.
  2. Invite Jesus into your heart Not one verse in the inspired Holy Bible Bible teaches that you must invite Jesus into your heart to get to Heaven.
  3. Invite Jesus to become the Lord of your lifeNot one verse in the inspired King James Bible teaches that you must invite Jesus to become “Lord” of your life to get to Heaven. 1st Timothy 4:10b says that Jesus is “the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.”
  4. Turn from sin Not one verse in the inspired King James Bible teaches that you must turn from your sin to get to Heaven. No one has ever turned from sinning. All you can do is try to sin less and live above reproach, but that is reformation not repentance.
  5. The commitments that came with salvation - Not one verse in the inspired King James Bible teaches that you must fulfil commitments when you get saved. Eternal life is a free gift with obligations. Certainly there are things God expects of every believer, but if you refuse to do them you are still saved.
  6. I confessed every sin I could think of - Not one verse in the inspired Holy Bible teaches that you must confess “every sin” to get to Heaven. You simply need to admit you are a guilty sinner; you need to know what you're being saved from, which is the condemnation of God's Law (Romans 3:19-20).
  7. I could tell by looking at you - You cannot determine if someone is saved or lost merely by looking at them. By all outward indications the hellbound false prophets in Matthew 7:21-23 were saved. Even Christ's own apostles couldn't see that Judas Iscariot had a devil in him (John 6:70).
  8. I had a lot of sin to confess - Not one verse in the inspired King James Bible teaches that you are obligated to itemize and confess all your sins to God in order to get to Heaven. Mark 1:5b says the people came to John the Baptist “confessing their sins.” The Bible doesn't say they made a long list of every sin; they simply acknowledged their sinnership (1st John 1:8-10). Pastor Curtis Hutson (1934-1995) wisely said: A good rule to follow when interpreting the Bible is to never use an obscure passage to contradict a clear one. When 3,000 people got saved on the Day of Pentecost (Acts 2:41), Cornelius and his companions (Acts 10:43-44), and the Roman jailer (Acts 16:30-31), no mention is made that any of them confessed their sins. They simply knew that they were sinners.
  9. I wanted to be sure I was really saved - The only assurance that you are saved is your faith in the Gospel, not because you feel convicted to confess all your sins to God. You just need to admit you are a needy sinner.
Dear reader, I hope you can clearly see the spiritual dangers of UNSHACKLED! They have wickedly embellished God's simple plan of salvation, needlessly placing heavy emphasis upon the lost sinner to reform as a requirement to get to Heaven. This is another gospel. This is a works based counterfeit plan of salvation, not the free grace of God which is by faith alone without works (Romans 4:4-5).

The Apostle Peter preached the Gospel on the Day of Pentecost (named in lieu of Jesus' physical resurrection 50 days earlier). As Peter preached to several thousand Jews, we read in Acts 2:41 that 3,000 of them gladly received the Gospel truth by faith and were saved. There is no mention of anyone confessing all of their sins, inviting Jesus to become Lord of their life, or turning away from their sinful behavior or to be saved. Pacific Garden Mission are pulling on the same rope as the Devil, perverting the Gospel of free grace, which cannot produce the new birth. The preceding episode #3942 makes me want to vomit! This is not the simplicity that is in Christ.

Pastor Harry A. Ironside (1876-1951) gets the Gospel 100% correct...
“The Gospel is not a call to repentance, or to amendment of our ways, to make restitution for past sins, or to promise to do better in the future. These things are proper in their place, but they do not constitute the Gospel; for the Gospel is not good advice to be obeyed, it is good news to be believed. Do not make the mistake then of thinking that the Gospel is a call to duty or a call to reformation, a call to better your condition, to behave yourself in a more perfect way than you have been doing in the past …Nor is the Gospel a demand that you give up the world, that you give up your sins, that you break off bad habits, and try to cultivate good ones. You may do all these things, and yet never believe the Gospel and consequently never be saved at all.”

SOURCE: Harry A. Ironside, from the tract: 'What Is The Gospel?'
Read what Pastor Ironside rightly said in his Gospel tract, 'ANOTHER GOSPEL?' ...
“When anyone comes promising salvation to those ‘who make full surrender' of all that they have to God, and who 'pay the price of full salvation' he is preaching another gospel, for the price was paid on Calvary's cross and the work that saves is finished. It was Christ Jesus who made the full surrender when He yielded His life on Calvary that saves us, not our surrender in any way to Him.”

SOURCE: Harry A. Ironside, from the Gospel tract, 'Another Gospel'
UNSHACKLED! has toxic theology! Galatians 1:6-7, “I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.” Pacific Garden Mission in Chicago has been taken over by ungodly neo-evangelicals, who erroneously think Bible “repentance” means to make an effort to reform your life of sin.

In Matthew 27:3 we read that Judas Iscariot “repented himself,” but we know that Judas was still lost and went to Hell without Christ. So sad. Judas turned from his sins. He was sorry for betraying an innocent man. He tried to make amends by returning the 30 pieces of silver to the Pharisees. Unfortunately for Judas, he never believed that Jesus was who He claimed to be—the Christ, the only begotten Son of God. Salvation is strictly a matter of receiving by faith (taking God at His written Word) what Christ has done through Calvary's cross as full payment for our sins, and not of what we must do for Him to be saved. Salvation is not doing your best, it is having Christ's best put to your account through receiving Him by faith.

Judas had a relationship with Jesus Christ, but he still went to Hell forever. A “relationship” is not the gospel. I get tired of hearing radio preachers telling people to start “a relationship with Jesus. That is not God's plan of salvation. As I just mentioned, we read in Matthew 27:3 that Judas “repented himself.” The Greek word for “repented” here is metamellomai and means “to care afterwards, that is, regret.” Judas was sorry that he got caught betraying the Lord. Judas felt embarrassed and lonely, having betrayed his best friend and Lord (Master). Unfortunately, Judas did not trust Jesus as his personal Savior. Judas felt sorry for what he had done. However, feeling sorry for sin is not repentance. The Bible says that Judas repented, but then he went and commit suicide. Judas had NO FAITH in Christ.

The following meme is a classic. It perfectly illustrates the insanity of PGM's counterfeit gospel message. ...


First they tell you on 'UNSHACKLED!' that salvation is received, not achieved. They call it a free gift by God's grace; but then they do a Bait & Switch con job on you, emphasizing YOUR responsibility to repent and turn from your sinful ways. The true Gospel always points you to CHRIST; a false gospel always points to YOU. All I hear in UNSHACKLED's perverted gospel is the things that YOU must do to be saved.
  • YOU must repent of your sins to turn from them.
  • YOU must invite Jesus to become LORD of your life.
  • YOU must invite Jesus to come into your life.
  • YOU must fulfill the commitments that come with salvation.
You, you, you! Dear reader, true salvation focuses on CHRIST because what He did through Calvary's cross 2,000 years ago to pay for our sins. The only thing that you and I contribute to our own salvation is the sin that made it necessary.

The Bible Will Keep You From Becoming A Lunatic

Proverbs 4:23, “Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.”

Dear reader, if you stray away from the truth of God's inspired Word, you are fully capable of becoming a lunatic. No one is exempt. Pastor Jack Hyles (1926-2001) said in a sermon that under the right circumstances anyone is capable of committing any sin. I fully agree.

We are living in a crazy world. Most people I think are good people, as far as sinners go. Every human being is a sinner (Romans 3:10-23). That is, we are all born with a sinful nature that makes us selfish (Romans 5:12). We have all violated God's laws. We are all guilty of doing things that we ought not do (sins of commission), and of not doing the good things that we should do (sins of omission). 1st John 1:10, “If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

My favorite Bible verse is Proverbs 4:23, “Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.” The reason why it is my favorite Scripture passage is self-explanatory. My father used to wisely say that without Jesus Christ people can become monsters. My Dad was exactly right. Even with Jesus Christ, if you allow yourself to stray away from the inspired King James Bible, and get your priorities out of whack, you can become vulnerable to making some very bad decisions. Behind every tragedy in human character is a slow process of wicked thinking. Dr. Bob Jones Sr. (1883-1968) said that and he was absolutely right.

I love what Pastor Jack Hyles (1926-2001) said:
“If you want to never do anything that is terribly wicked, then you never do anything that is slightly wicked.” —Pastor Jack Hyles, "Unjust In The Least"
That is character. When you get grounded in the Word of God, you establish checks and balances in your life. 

Beware Of The Love Of Money

For example: The Bible warns against the love of money:
1st Timothy 6:6-10, “But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.”
So many people do unthinkable wicked things to obtain money. The child of God should forget about pursuing riches as a goal in life. Ecclesiastes 12:13, “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. If you fear God and esteem His Word, then you won't make money a priority in your life. When I hear someone saying that they want to become rich, I know I should avoid that person because they have a heathen mindset, not a biblical one.

To clarify, there's nothing wrong with wanting to go to college, learn a trade, and work hard to build a business to make money; but if you regard God and His Word, then you know that you must do it all honesty with integrity, and not hurt anybody along the journey. There are companies and individuals all across the United States today who are greedy, crooked and dishonest, who hurt people on a regular basis to make more money. They are evil people.

I've just given you one biblical principle about not loving or pursuing getting rich as a goal in life. Proverbs 15:27, “He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; but he that hateth gifts shall live. The Holy Bible has much to warn about the dangers of the love of money. There's just something about money that once you have it, it has you!

Little Sins Often Lead To Big Ones

Over the years I have watched hundreds of episodes of the Cold Case Files and Forensics Files television shows. I intentionally watched each episode looking for the small sins that people usually take for granted, which led to bigger deadly sins. In 99% of cases where someone was brutally murdered, it began much earlier with the sins of greed, lust, going to a strip club, flirting alone in a car with a friend's wife, irresponsible spending, fornication, et cetera.

That being said, I'm not really a fan of those shows because they are too creepy and I can only watch them a little here and there. But over time I have seen a lot of shows, and as a Bible preacher I have learned a lot about human character, proving the Bible true. Jeremiah 17:9, “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

Famous writer Earnest Hemingway (1899-1961) said it best:
“All things truly wicked start from innocence.” —Ernest Hemingway
That is so true! In one shocking murder case in Tallahassee, Florida, a seemingly innocent conversation in a car between a man and his friend's wife led to adultery and the brutal murder of his friend, so he could steal his wife.

By the way, I don't believe for one second that Bathsheba in the Bible didn't know King David could see her bathing naked on her rooftop. Women all have a sixth sense about that stuff. There's no way that she was naked without knowing that the king could see her. It might have seemed like an innocent thing—a woman bathing naked on her own private rooftop—but it led to adultery and her husband being murdered. And for that matter, there is nothing innocent about a Christian woman wearing pants. One of the worst sins of our generation is pastor's wives who wear pants in public!

Ernest Hemingway was absolutely right, all things truly wicked start from innocence.

In Canada, a careless woman was exercising in her own living room while wearing spandex. A military soldier named Russell Williams was driving by and saw her through her open living room window. He went back to savagely rape and murder her. He victimized 86 women! That soldier had previously transported the Queen of England as a helicopter pilot. Do you know how much prison time he got? Although he was given two life sentences, he is eligible for parole after 25 years!!! What a joke! 86 VICTIMS!!! Guaranteed he will be out in 25 years!

My main point is that if she had simply closed her curtain while looking sexy while exercising, she'd still be alive today. Foolish loud-mouthed feminist women can harp all they want that men shouldn't attack females regardless of how they dress, and they are correct in what they are saying; but that's not how the real world works, and we all know it. There will always be evil people in this world, and if you give them a reason or opportunity to hurt you, they will.

The infamous Golden State Killer, Joseph James DeAngelo, told one of his over 50 victims while raping her in the wee hours of the morning in her own home in her own bed, that he had seen her water skiing and she turned him on. Now, people get upset with me as a fundamentalist Bible preacher all the time for preaching that women ought not wear pants, bikinis and other immoral attire in public, but true stories like this PROVE ME RIGHT!!!

Keep Thy Heart With All Diligence

You keep your heart by being on guard all the time; not paranoid, but in tune with God's inspired Word. God created humanity and gave us an owner's manual, the Holy Bible.

A pastor's wife who keeps her heart WON'T wear pants in public. Jesus said in Matthew 15:19, For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies. The human heart is full of every evil imagination. Kindly said, you need to keep your dog on a leash! That is, you need to keep your heart in tune with the Word of God, lest you end up a causality. If you give the wicked human heart an inch, it'll take a foot! I don't trust the man who trusts himself.

I once heard a foolish Christian man say that he thought a man should be able to be alone with another man's wife, without worrying that something intimate might happen. What saith the Scripture? 1st Thessalonians 5:22, “Abstain from all appearance of evil.

That being said, I humbly do not believe that any married man or woman should ever be alone in a room or a car, or anywhere, together with the opposite sex. It just looks really bad and there is the potential for sin. Most people will say, “Well I don't care what people think!” Yeah, but the Lord does care and so should you, because we're talking about your Christian testimony. Remember, keep thy heart with all diligence. Some people would no doubt call me “old fashioned, but that doesn't mean that I am wrong in my biblical position.

Dear reader, you have to be a little crazy in this world to stay sane, but by God's grace you don't have to go insane. If you carry a King James Bible the world will call you crazy! The old adage is very true: Either the Bible will keep us from sin, or sin will keep us from the Bible.
Psalms 119:9-12, “Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word. With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments. Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. Blessed art thou, O LORD: teach me thy statutes.”

If you don't want to lose your mind, or commit some unthinkable insane crime someday, then dear reader get settled and grounded in the Word of God. Use only the inspired King James Bible. Listen to lots of Bible preaching by fundamentalist Bible preachers. Commit Bible passages to memory that you might say with the psalmist, “Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee” (Psalms 119:11). Remember, it's okay to be a nut, just so long as you're screwed onto the right bolt. Jesus is precious!!!

The Civil War Was Not Fought Over Slavery

Psalm 47:8, “God reigneth over the heathen: God sitteth upon the throne of his holiness.

Everybody thinks that the Civil War was fought over slavery, but it wasn't. Abraham Lincoln even later said that if the south had not seceded, he had no intentions of freeing the slaves. Abraham Lincoln stated that his primary goal was to save the Union, and he would have preserved slavery if it meant maintaining the Union.

This is evident in his letter to Horace Greeley, where he emphasized that his paramount objective was not to free slaves but to restore the Union. The south messed up by trying to secede from the Union, which was their downfall.

Regarding Europe, they did not break business relations with the South due to an attack or rebellion; rather, the Confederacy attempted to use cotton diplomacy to coerce European nations into supporting their war effort by restricting cotton exports. However, this strategy ultimately failed as European countries sought alternative sources for cotton, leading to a decline in the Confederate economy.

As the old truthful adage goes: Hindsight is 20/20.

Paul Craig Roberts Speaks Truth About Iran

Proverbs 20:18, “Every purpose is established by counsel: and with good advice make war.”

It couldn't be more obvious that the present U.S. war against Iran is not based upon “good advice” as the Holy Bible teaches; but rather, a diabolical Globalist political agenda that has been in the planning for decades. I couldn't agree more with Dr. Roberts in this matter...
Zionist Trump Regime Looks For New Reasons To Escalate Attacks On Iran 
Dr. Paul Craig Roberts | August 2, 2026

The New York Times and other of the whore media are reporting cyber attacks on US water systems in 7 states including Minnesota and Michigan. The attacks are attributed to Iran, although “Officials cautioned that they had not definitively determined that Iran was responsible for the attack.” So why report it? Is it news before it happens?

It is not certain, but in my opinion likely, that this is disinformation being fed to the presstitutes by the Trump Zionist regime in order to justify more and more risky attacks on Iran. As we all know, Netanyahu has a firm hold on Trump and that is what Netanyahu wants.

American patriots seem inclined to believe that America is always under attack by some designated enemy. The George W. Bush Zionist regime even attributed “weapons of mass destruction” to Iraq, a total impossibility, in order to justify a US invasion in the interests of Greater Israel. As General Wesley Clark said “seven countries in five years.”

Moreover, why would Iran, which attacks military, not civilian, targets, focus on water systems? It seems their cyberattacks would, like their military attacks, be focused on military infrastructure.

But assume Iran is behind the attacks on US water systems, keep in mind that Iranian civilian infrastructure and civilian residential areas continue to be targets of Zionist Trump’s attacks on Iran. So, if Iran is attacking US water systems, the cause is Trump’s attacks on Iran’s civilian infrastructure. So, before you get all hot under the collar about Iran, get hot under the collar because of Zionist Trump who is using America for Israel’ benefit. SOURCE

Americans have no right to complain about others attacking us in kind.
Sadly, we're being played as Americans like a violin. I highly encourage you to regularly read Dr. Robert's intriguing blog. He is 87 years old and a man full of wisdom and common sense, which is rarely lacking these days.
“I despair of my fellow Americans. They lack knowledge and awareness and have been put into a Matrix that controls their understanding with false narratives.” —Dr. Paul Craig Roberts
I couldn't agree more with Dr. Paul Craig Roberts. Yesterday on the evening news I saw Palestinian children crying over their dead siblings laying in body bags on the ground. The victims in Gaza said Israel fired missiles deliberately against the children, which of course Israel denies. Just like Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong and other murderous tyrants, Israel blatantly lies while continuing to murder Palestinian's with impunity, sanctioned by the Trump administration. Where is justice?

Notoriously corrupt U.S. officials and so-called “experts are warning Americans that the recent cyberattacks on U.S. water systems appear to be the work of Iran, particularly as these attacks have escalated since the U.S. and Israel launched a war against Iran five months ago. However, the investigation is still preliminary, and definitive proof has not yet been established. So then why tell us? Paul Craig Roberts is absolutely right. Why blame Iran when there's not one shred of proof that Iran is attacking our water systems? It is quite obvious that the White House is grasping for straws in a further attempt to demonize Iran to further our war efforts.

It sickens me that we could end homelessness across the nation for $30 billion, but President Trump just asked Congress for another $87.6 billion to bomb, bomb, Iran. When will we ever learn? I am so sick and tired of seeing the American people suffer without affordable housing, dental care or cost of living, while our reckless government continues to spend TRILLIONS on war. They spent $6.2 trillion just on the Iraq War; an illegal war never approved by Congress based upon non-existent Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMDs). The Bush administration fully knew before the U.S. military ever attacked Iraq that there never were any WMDs in Iraq.

It is tragic that the American public cannot believe anything that our federal government, Zionist controlled news media or White House tell us. The American people are still trying to recover from the media whiteout after the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center. The official story is a fabricated lie. The fact checkers have got their facts wrong. I stopped voting after seeing that 9/11 was a blatant Inside Job, which our government and Zionist controlled media have gone to great lengths to cover-up with misinformation and disinformation.

Proverbs 20:18, “Every purpose is established by counsel: and with good advice make war.” The U.S. goes to war based on LIES, not good advice.

If You Stand For Truth And Righteousness, You Will Make Plenty Of Enemies

Galatians 4:16-17, “Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth? They zealously affect you, but not well; yea, they would exclude you, that ye might affect them.”

Sadly, I have been kicked out and banned from the past several churches that I've attended. In each and every case it was simply because I took a biblical stand, in the most gentlemanly way, for truth and righteousness. 

Harvest Baptist Church On Guam Persecuted Me

I attended the Harvest Baptist Church on Guam in 2013 to 2014. I grew to love the people and the church. For whatever reason, I didn't notice for the first several months what the church was about. In hindsight, all I remember is that I felt wanted and loved by the people. I still miss them today. But as Samson whose hair grew back and he regained his strength, after several months I began to see the serious problems in the church. I came to learn that they use dozens of different Bible versions, promote multiple different plans of salvation, think Martin Luther (1483-1546) was a born again Christian, their pastors followed and promoted Dr. John MacArthur (1939-2025), et cetera.

So, I had a choice to make, to either leave or stay and try to help them. I chose the latter, which in hindsight wasn't a good idea, but under the same circumstances I wouldn't have done anything differently, because I have become a living testimony against them for Judgment Day.

I personally handed their senior pastor Marty Herron hard copies of these books:
The next time I attended church, I was called into the church office and reprimanded for those books, falsely accused by the church pastors (senior pastor Marty Herron and associate pastor Joe Hensen) of causing "divisiveness" and "confusion." What hypocrites! Harvest Baptist Church on Guam officially uses multiple different versions of the Holy Bible (the Easy-To-Read Version and the King James Bible). Joe Hensen admitted to me that on any given Sunday at Harvest, you'll find at least TWO DOZEN different Bible versions circulating in their pews. Who is causing confusion? Acts 19:32, “Some therefore cried one thing, and some another: for the assembly was confused; and the more part knew not wherefore they were come together.” They caused the confusion, not me!

They were already a house divided (and still are today), I didn't cause any divisiveness. You see dear reader, when you TELL THE TRUTH you have just taken an absolute position. So, if a corrupt neo-evangelical church like Harvest is using dozens of different Bible versions, and you come along and promote only the King James Bible as being God's inspired Word, in their incompetent ungodly eyes you become THE BAD GUY! Galatians 4:16, “Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?

God is on my side because I TOLD THE TRUTH to Harvest's ungodly pastors!!! Marty Herron and Joe Hensen (and others) are in serious trouble with the LORD God almighty for preaching a perverted gospel, corrupting the inspired Word of God, refusing to stop promoting Martin Luther (1483-1546) as a born again Christian (who taught Sacramental Salvation all his life), and for throwing me under the bus to leave me alone to die on the road without my church family. Kindly said, those ungodly cruel pastors will be judged in eternity by God, and have their own cruel standards of harshness measured back unto them (Matthew 7:1-2).

RIGHT DOCTRINE MATTERS!

Family Baptist Church In Pensacola Persecuted Us

When I attended the shameful Family Baptist Church in Pensacola between 2021 and 2025, I never said a single word in the church about my fundamentalist website ministry. I kept quiet to avoid getting kicked out. I new they were neo-evangelicals, but I still needed a place to go to church. It has become next to impossible these days to find a doctrinally sound Baptist church.

Unfortunately for me, the pastors (Brad and his father Bobby Moffett) and their ungodly worldly wives (who wear their sexy pants in public) found my website ministry. It was this article in particular, 'Why A Christian Lady Ought Not Wear Pants,' that struck a deep nerve with the pastor's wife. She had at times given me a hateful stare at church (The Evil Eye), and I wondered why. Now I know why!

I and my wife attended their 2025 Memorial Day picnic for the first time at the Lilian Recreational Park in Alabama. My wife has never wore a pair of pants in her entire life. She showed up wearing a full-length dress. As you can already guess, Pastor Brad Moffett's wife was wearing sexy pants, and she felt convicted. We didn't have to say one word. She was irked! So much so, that when we were sitting down eating our meals, the pastor's ungodly wife walked over 50 feet, passing everybody along her way, to utter the words in front of us: “I like your shorts!” to a young teenager girl sitting next to me at our picnic table.

Of the thousands of things that the pastor's wife could have said that moment, knowing who I am (a fundamentalist Baptist Bible preacher), there is absolutely no way that she innocently made that snark comment. And you better believe that it offended me! Personally, I couldn't care less if the pastor's wife wears pants. But I do care when she shoves it in my face and mocks the man of God. Her wicked husband (the church pastor) was so dishonest, that he later claimed he was standing nearby (he wasn't even in sight) and denied that his wife ever made that statement. Me and my wife both heard her say loud and clear, "I like your shorts!" What wicked people!

On April 30th, 2025, Pastor Brad had invited me and my wife into his office for a different reason. But then he lied and chose instead to criticize my website ministry, which was a low class thing to do, highly unethical. He did a Bait & Switch tactic on us!

In that unpleasant meeting (which I am 100% convinced his ungodly wife stirred him up like Jezebel stirred up Ahab to do), he had the article I mentioned earlier, 'Why A Christian Lady Ought Not Wear Pants,' printed on his desk, and he wanted to argue about women wearing pants in a sinful attempt to justify his wife wearing her worldly attire (Proverbs 7:10).

We were shocked when Pastor Brad said that it doesn't matter if his wife wears pants, because based on Galatians 5:16b (“Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh”), a man walking in the Spirit will not lust. We were dumbfounded at the wickedness of this incompetent pastor!

First, no Christian man walks in the Holy Spirit all the time, so they will lust if tempted.

Second, Brad's ungodly wife is tempting men, making it harder for them to win what the Bible calls “a war against the soul” in 1st Peter 2:11, “Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul. Why would any Christian woman who claims to love Jesus, let alone a pastor's wife who sets the example of modesty in a church, want to make it harder for men to think and live right?

SHAME on Pastor Brad Moffett and his verbally abusive father Bobby Moffett, and their ungodly worldly wives who wear sexy pants in public, and the ungodly Family Baptist Church in Pensacola who stand behind their wicked pastors. And to add insult to injury, which was a clear declaration of Brad's defiance against a holy God, he told me and my wife as a testimony before God on April 30th, 2025, in his office: “I am not a fundamentalist!” Yeah, no kidding, but he'll wish to God he had been one on Judgment Day in eternity.

Christian Fundamentalism is nothing more than obeying the inspired King James Bible, and separating from those who don't. In hindsight, I never should have attended that neo-evangelical corrupt church. I will stay home for the rest of my life before I will ever step foot into another neo-evangelical cult—that uses any other Bible than the inspired King James Bible, and that preaches any other gospel than what Paul taught in 1st Corinthians 15:1-4.

Family Baptist Church in Pensacola preaches a perverted gospel which requires repenting of your sins to get to Heaven, which is nowhere taught in the inspired Word of God.
 
Right Doctrine And Morals Matter

I could tell you many other true inexplicably painful stories of how church leaders threw me under the bus for TELLING THE TRUTH. If you just fill up 18-inches of pew three times a week at church, nobody will bother you. But if you stand up for truth and righteousness, they will persecute you. Telling the truth is a part of living godly in Christ Jesus (2nd Timothy 3:12).

The Peace Of God

John 14:27, “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”

Fear is caused by thinking you must carry tomorrow's burdens with today's strength. God is peace. Ephesians 2:13-14, “But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us.

  1. We fear the unknown.
  2. We fear want and poverty.
  3. We fear death.
  4. We fear the future.
  5. We fear eternity.
  6. We fear failure.
God doesn't fear anything, which is why God has peace. If God has peace we will make it! And God is peace! So, when the Bible talks about “the peace of God,” the Scripture is literally saying that God is at perfect peace. God offers His perfect peace to us. John 14:27, “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” What a beautiful truth!

In America we love the word “security,” but there is no such thing. There is no such thing as “social security.” The only security that has ever existed is God. The LORD is tranquil. He is relaxed and never stresses over anything. God is not worried about anything. The same peace that God has is freely available to you dear reader, if you want it.

Philippians 4:6-8, “Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.”

I love and cherish that promise from God. The same peace which makes God feel serene, at home and calm at all times is freely available to you and me. It is not a different peace, but the exact same peace Jesus has. You don't have to have a nervous breakdown. You don't have to crack up. You don't have to spend $50 an hour to meet with some psychiatrist nut, so you can become as nutty as she is. Oh, that every redeemed saint of God would claim “the peace of God, which passeth all understanding,” which “shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:7b).

That being said, some people do have nervous issues and they need extra grace from God to help them cope with their nervous condition, but God's grace is sufficient dear reader. The same peace which God possesses which causes Him not to fret, worry, sulk and panic is available to you. John 14:27, “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”

If you're ready to have a nervous breakdown, go home and bake some cookies for your neighbor. Prepare a gift box for a homeless person and then go give it to them in Jesus' name. Take your guitar to a local nursing home to cheer some elderly people up. If you'll spend one hour a day doing something for others, you won't have a nervous breakdown. When I get down and discouraged, I lose myself in my website ministry, working day and night for Jesus Christ to help others find the truth that will set them free (John 8:32-36).

If you sincerely believe that God has a perfect peace, you won't be upset if you think God's okay. Folks, God is still on His throne today! Everything alright in my Father's house, where there's joy, jot, joy. Get your mind off of yourself and you won't commit suicide. Get out of the self life and your life will find new meaning. The greatest things in life are not things! The most miserable people on the planet are well-to-do people who live only for themselves.

I thank God for the precious memories I have for doing something nice to help someone when I was down and discouraged. I am not a wealthy man, but one day I gave $100 bill to a disheveled homeless man in Guam who helped me load my groceries into the back of my car. He immediately put his head down in humility and I knew I had touched his heart. I wouldn't trade that precious memory for anything, and I guarantee you that he will never forget that moment. I did if for Jesus. Proverbs 19:17, “He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.”

Oh, that every redeemed saint of God would claim “the peace of God, which passeth all understanding,” which “shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:7b). And please don't overlook or dismiss Philippians 4:8, which teaches us as saints the importance of maintaining a healthy thought life by avoiding critical people, relentless bad news and negative things. We are what we think!

Isaiah 9:6, “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
