1st Timothy 6:10-12, “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. But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.”
Revelation 3:1-3, “And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead. Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God. Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.”
I am concerned about the deteriorating spiritual direction of Pastor Scott Gray. It was just last week that on his Twitter page, Pastor Scott Gray is endorsing Pastor Paul Chappell. Kindly said, Scott Gray needs to repent of his sinful compromise and start contending for the faith (Jude 1:3).
But instead of contending for the Christian faith by refuting false prophets, Paul Chappell is committing spiritually adultery with Pastor John MacArthur (a 5-point Calvinist who teaches that children cannot be saved, because he makes getting saved so complicated). Scott Gray Needs To Listen To Godly Wisdom From His Preacher Father, Pastor Bob Gray Sr.! The Old Testament prophet, Balaam, wickedly compromised because he was covetous. Balaam was THE PROPHET FOR HIRE!!! Balaam was the Billy Graham (1918-2018) of his generation. When he died, Billy Graham's annual salary was over $600,000 per year!!!
Apostasy in the churches - business seminars - The love of money!

Balaam was a neo-evangelical prophet for hire. The wicked king of the Moabites, Balak, paid God's man Balaam to curse God’s people. Can you imagine? Balaam influenced Israel to intermarry with the heathen Moabites. Balaam is a type (something representative) of many false teachers (false prophets) in the churches today. I am so sick and tired of today's neo-evangelical churches!!! I'm taking about the ungodly Southern Baptist Convention's 45,000 member churches! I'm talking about the neo-evangelical cult at Bob Jones University and their corrupt graduates, including the apostate Harvest Baptist Church on Guam.
I'm talking about the ungodly neo-evangelical apostates at the Faith Baptist Bible College And Theological Seminary in Ankeny, Iowa. The former incompetent senior pastor of Harvest Baptist Church on Guam (from 1999 to 2018), Dr. Marty Herron, now works as the Executive Vice President of Faith Baptist Bible College And Theological Seminary (since 2018). Dr. Herron is an unsaved infidel who idolizes John MacArthur, sanctions the Devil's hundreds of perverting Bible revisions, and preaches the Devil's lie that to get to Heaven you must forsake a lifestyle of sinning. That is not what the inspired King James Bible teaches!!! Kindly said, Marty Herron is a theological liar and devil in the pulpit. I speak THE TRUTH in love. Ephesians 4:15, “But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:” Today's corrupt preachers need TOUGH LOVE!!!
Titus 1:13-14, “This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith; Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.”
People get offended quickly when you REBUKE THEM SHARPLY!!! Ask the Apostle Paul and he can tell you how fast people will turn on you for TELLING THE TRUTH. Galatians 4:16, “Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?” I like what Dr. Curtis Hutson said the year before he went to Heaven (he died of prostate cancer in 1995):
“You see, we not only believe the fundamentals of the faith, we believe in Ecclesiastical Separation. You don't yoke up with somebody that is not saved and call him a Christian brother!” —Pastor Curtis Hutson, a quote from the sermon: “Things That Are Different Are Not The Same”
Amen and amen!!! God knows that I have nothing against Pastor Scott Gray. I have love and tremendous respect with admiration for his father, Dr. Bob Gray Sr. (a fellow Hyles-Anderson College alumni). Pastor Bob Gray Sr. attended HAC from 1972 to 1976. I attended later in 1985 to 1993, when I graduated. I am so grateful that I had the wonderful opportunity to go to Hyles-Anderson College. It is the best decision that I ever made, next to getting saved. But I am heart-broken that the HAC that I knew is gone! HAC once contended for the Christian faith, but now they have turned neo-evangelical, tolerating the Devil's counterfeit Bible revisions.
“What one generation tolerates, the next generation will embrace!” —John Wesley
The false teachers in the church today lead people to commit spiritual fornication. The epistle of Jude is written to warn the reader about false teaching within the New Testament church. We've got plenty of ungodly false teachings in churches today!
We are seeing two extremes that are false. On one hand you've got false teachers in the church who turn the grace of God into licentiousness (i.e., a license to sin). But this does not mean someone is not really saved, it just means they are immature or backslidden as a child of God (1st Corinthians 3:1). On the other extreme there are false teachers who say that you cannot go to Heaven unless you turn from your sinful ways. They errantly preach that if your life hasn't changed, your faith is not real, and so they claim you're not born-again. Dear reader, if you have to look at your life to prove that you're saved, it proves that you're not!
Salvation is not a reward for the righteous, it is a gift for the guilty!
Salvation is not doing your best, it is having Christ's best put to your account through receiving Him by faith.
Turning away from sinful ways would be a work. Faith puts all of the merit where it belongs, on the object of our faith, Jesus and His work.
If to “repent” means to forsake our sinful ways TO BE SAVED, but Jesus already paid for our sins by dying on the cross, then what are we repenting from?
The true Gospel always points you to CHRIST; a false gospel always points to YOU.
We must stay true to the simplicity of the Gospel!! Repentance regarding salvation is a change of mind from unbelief to belief!!! We must earnestly contend for the faith (Jude 1:3).
It breaks my heart to see so many Baptist churches infatuated with money, instead of being faithful to contend for the Christian faith. Nobody likes to make enemies. No one likes to offend people! But it is a necessary part of the Christian life to continually be on-guard against falsehoods, heresy, change for the worse, immorality and dangerous influences creeping into our own personal life, marriage, family, church, community and country. It is our duty as God's adopted redeemed children. We call this BIBLICAL SEPARATION.
Pastor John MacArthur is a very dangerous false prophet! Mr. MacArthur denies that Jesus had God's blood flowing in His veins, which is effectively a denial of Christ's virgin birth. Sadly, Bob Jones University wickedly bids Godspeed to John MacArthur. They are not fighting the good fight of faith. 1st Timothy 6:12, “Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.” How many pastors do we see fighting nowadays? I don't see many.
How about Pastor Joel Osteen? Ha! Ha! Kindly said, Joel Osteen is a PrettyBoy, who I think wears his wife's underwear, and can't preach his way out of a wet paperbag! Joel coddles the audience, tickling their ears, knowing that this wicked generation won't endure (put up with) sound doctrine. 2nd Timothy 4:2-4, “Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.” Pastor Osteen is a false prophet! Sadly, Joel will say anything to get your money.
Joel Osteen is Caspar Milquetoast. I say that kindly, but truthfully. Dear friend, preachers are supposed to be controversial. They are supposed to offend people, because THE TRUTH hurts! Neo-evangelicals do everything backwards. They ask people in a community what kind of church they want. They ask the community what kind of sermons they want to hear. I'm not kidding.
God knows that I have nothing against Pastor Scott Gray, but in just the past couple weeks I have seen him hobnobbing with Pastor Paul Chappell (who sinfully bids Godspeed to false prophet Dr. John MacArthur). Where is our Ecclesiastical Separation? That is, separation from corrupt churches? Pastor Curtis Hutson said it very well...
“You see, we not only believe the fundamentals of the faith, we believe in Ecclesiastical Separation. You don't yoke up with somebody that is not saved and call him a Christian brother!” —Pastor Curtis Hutson, a quote from the sermon: “Things That Are Different Are Not The Same”
John MacArthur is not saved. If he is, then Lordship Salvation is acceptable to God. If he is, then God is okay with the teaching that children cannot be saved, and that Jesus didn't have God's blood flowing in His veins, and faith alone is insufficient to save a lost sinner. These are the damnable heresies taught by Mr. MacArthur. Jeremiah 6:16, “Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.” Every pastor that I have seen who started down the path of THE LOVE OF MONEY, eventually became adversely affected by neo-evangelicals. ...
1st Timothy 6:10-12, “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. But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.”Pastor Scott Gray just got back from a vacation to Israel. That is Paul Chappell's thing, taking vacations to Israel. I've never been able to afford a vacation to Israel. It bothers me that these Baptist pastors today are living HIGH ON THE HOG, living an extravagant lifestyle that the average church member could never afford!!! That was Balaam's downfall, the love of money!!! I get disgusted when I see churches getting into money seminars, business courses, and lessons on how to become prosperous through giving. It is the same ole Devil's health, wealth and prosperity garbage have no place in any New Testament church.
And then I see Pastor Scott Gray's church hosting financial seminars. In my humble opinion, it is straying away from the old paths! Scott Gray has been rubbing shoulders with apostates like Paul Chappell and by extension, John MacArthur. Keep on eye on where Scott Gray is 20 years from now!!! Pastor Gray will either repent and go back to the old paths, suffering reproach with the saints of God (like me), who fight the good fight of faith; or he will continue to buddy buddy with neo-evangelicals for the sake of worldly success, which will turn him away from Christian fundamentalism. Prosperity has destroyed 100 times more men than poverty!
“You may not be much but you can be faithful.”

“Just yesterday I heard a man say on the radio, or television, that a certain area was 'Gospel hardened.' And I thought to myself: 'You just don't understand. The area is not Gospel hardened, it is Gospel ignorant.'” —Pastor Curtis Hutson, sermon title: “Things That Are Different Are Not The Same”
