Jeremiah 10:21, “For the pastors are become brutish, and have not sought the LORD: therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks shall be scattered.”
I realize that there are no perfect pastors, but it is shameful when you have difficulty finding a soulwinning pastor. It is sad when you have difficulty finding a pastor who still believes that the King James Bible is inerrant, infallible and inspired. It is sad when you have difficulty finding a pastor who still takes a firm stand against sin, who calls sin by name (abortion, booze, lying, laziness, gossip, fornication, adultery, homosexuality, lust, hatred, unforgiveness, holding grudges, et cetera). It is sad when you have difficulty finding a pastor who preaches a free grace Gospel, not this “turn away from your sin” junk theology today. Psalms 12:1, “Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.”
Tragically, over 90% of Baptist pastors today are cowards. I have met plenty of them. The won't stand for anything. They won't take a stand against other Baptist pastors who have succumbed to the heresy of Lordship Salvation (i.e., Calvinism). I have met umpteen cowardly pastors, who for the sake of making money and growing a church, did not dare criticize another local church that uses dozens of Bible versions, and preaches another Gospel. What does that say about those shallow ungodly Pastors? It says they are incompetent in the pulpit. It says they have no business leading a New Testament church.
Many pastors have the unbiblical attitude that getting along with other professed Christians is more important than THE TRUTH itself. Dear reader, nothing is more important than truth. Without love truth is ineffective. But without truth love cannot exist. No one speaks lie in love! Ephesians 4:15 says to speak “the truth in love.” It is tragic that 90% of Baptist pastors today are far more concerned about growing their church, than they are about warning people of the dangers of the Devil's modern Bible revisions.
I knew one Pensacola Christian College (PCC) graduate, who lacked the guts to take a stand against the modern corrupt Bibles. His lame excuse was that he didn't want any controversies in the church. Well, he ended up splitting his church anyway, because of his sorry, lame, irresponsible, indifferent attitude toward heresy creeping into the church. He was only concerned about me bringing controversies into the church, because I kindly warned people in the church about the English Standard Version (ESV) that Bob Jones University sinfully sells, uses and promotes. Shame on BJU and their alumni! Anyone who uses, sells or promotes the Alexandrian Bible revisions has blood on their hands!!!
We need a revival in our churches of making big of THE TRUTH. Right doctrine matters! You don't have a right to choose your own Bible, that best fits you. You don't have a right to change what God said, to best suit your lifestyle and agenda. The inspired King James Bible gets in your face—THUS SAITH THE LORD! Whether you believe it or not, God said it and that settles it!!! We need a revival of obeying God, instead of changing our perception of God in the modern versions, expecting God to obey us! Just because you cannot handle the truth doesn't change it or make you less accountable to God. RIGHT DOCTRINE MATTERS! That means whatever Bible translation you use is very important, because even the slightest changes in word or grammatical structure in a sentence can significantly change the intended meaning.
Biblical separation is seldom practiced anymore today. You've got ungodly corrupt Baptist pastors today, who ought be run out of town. I'm talking about men like Dr. Steve Pettit. I'm talking about men like Dr. Marty Herron. I'm talking about men like Dr. John MacArthur. Instead, most fellow Baptist churches hobnob with them, bidding them Godspeed, which makes them just as guilty, partaker of their evil deeds. 2nd John 1:11, “For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.” These wicked men are superficial, saying one thing but doing another. They claim to believe in a salvation only by grace, but then go teach that you must “run the race” to obtain the award of Heaven. That is another gospel.
I sometimes feel like I am the only one who cares about the purity of God's Word, or the accuracy of the Gospel. Thankfully, I am not alone, and there are other faithful preachers exposing these evils. If we don't stand, who will? If not now, when? If not here, where? Somebody's got to stand. Jude 1:3, “Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.” Titus 1:13, “This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;” I am faithfully contending for the Christian faith, as the Bible commands, while Bob Jones University and their graduates are playing church on Sundays.
