Why Pastors Like Jeff Redlin At Pensacola Christian College Don't Care

John 10:11-14, “I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep. I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.”

"You will never really love until you love someone who hates you." —Pastor Jack Hyles (1926-2001)

I was amazed one day when I read the preceding passage of Scripture. It is absolutely amazing to me, how we can read and look over a Bible passage repeatedly for 10, 20, 30 or even 40 years and not see golden nuggets of truth tucked away in the precious inspired Word of God. And the trustworthy King James Bible is 100% verbally (word for word) and plenary (the whole canon, all 66 books) inspired; please don't let anybody tell you differently!!!

I had known (since I was wonderfully saved at age 13 in 1980, by God's grace through faith alone in Jesus Christ) that Jesus is the Good Shepherd. Every born-again child of God is a lamb. Jesus is our Good Shepherd. As we just read in John 10:11-14, the pastor who is a hireling (meaning it is just a job to him for money) flees when trouble comes.

I heard recently about a pastor in Rockford, Illinois who quit as senior pastor in 2021, because of a sex scandal in the local church involving a church member (but not the pastor). I don't understand why a pastor, with over 40 years of faithful service to God's flock, would bail out on a church during their darkest hour. Consequently, hundreds of church members also quit, never to return. The church stopped its Bus Ministry. What a shame! Now is the time more than ever to keep those buses rolling! The church is dying. Folks, never quit during the battle!!! FIGHT, But If You Cannot FIGHT, WITHSTAND, But If You Cannot WITHSTAND, Then STAND!!! (a wonderful sermon by Pastor Jack Hyles, preached in 1991).

Jesus said in John 10:13, “The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.” I had attended Campus Church at Pensacola Christian College (PCC)  for the summer of 2021. Sadly, Pastor Jeff Redlin (their senior pastor) horrible mistreated me as a new guest. He scolded me for hoping to find a wife at Campus Church. What a selfish man. Only an unwise pastor would scold a 54 year old man for hoping to remarry, after 15 years of being divorced by my wife and lonely. Redlin never once offered to pray with me. He just didn't care. Jeff Redlin never once told me that he loved me with Christ's love, even after I spent 5 hours taking the time to pour out my heart in a lengthy email to him. That is a terrible pastor! You see, Pastor Redlin is merely a hireling, like Jesus said, so he doesn't care! John 10:13, “The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.”

When I arrived in Pensacola, the ungodly Woodspring Suites Hotel where I had made advanced reservations for 3-days, cancelled my confirmed reservation without notice, when my flight was delayed by United Airlines on Guam for one hour. I missed my connecting flight to Denver in Honolulu, and ended up having a 17 hour layover in Oahu. The rotten hotel manager didn't care and cancelled my stay. So I ended up literally sleeping in Walmart's parking lot on Mobile Highway in Pensacola for the 4th of July weekend. I was watching fireworks being lit off in neighborhoods all around me, while living in Walmart's parking lot.

I attended Campus Church for the first time on the 4th of July, 2021, at their big picnic. I kindly told Pastor Redlin about my situation at the Campus Church picnic, that I was sleeping in Walmart's parking lot. I saw the startled look on his face, and then he just cold-heartedly walked away and never came back. What an uncaring person! Redlin missed a gulden opportunity to help Jesus that day:

Matthew 25:40 and 45, “And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. ...Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.”

Pastor Redlin walked away from Jesus. Ironically, I was wearing my hat that says “Jesus” on it. Whenever you help a child of God, you are helping Jesus! And when you don't help a child of God, you didn't help Jesus! In other words, Jesus has the precious attitude that “We are in this thing called Christianity together!” That is why we read in Colossians 3:1-3, “If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.” I LOVE THAT LAST VERSE!!! The day that you got saved (hopefully you are saved), your identity become one with Jesus Christ.

At the time of salvation, that is, the new birth, all of the sins which were recorded against us in Heaven were forever washed away:

Revelation 1:5-6, “And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.”

Do you understand dear redeemed child of God, that the day we were saved, we were appointed to be kings and priests to reign with Christ in His future Millennial Kingdom? Revelation 20:6, “Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.” Our old mortal bodies in the earth, will be resurrected at the Rapture as new physical immortal bodies (1st Corinthians 15:51-58). What a glorious day that will be!!! Jesus cares! I love this precious song by Bill Gaither...

Does Jesus care when my heart is pained

Too deeply for mirth or song,

As the burdens press,

And the cares distress,

And the way grows weary and long?

O yes, He cares, I know He cares,

His heart is touched with my grief;

When the days are weary,

The long night dreary,

I know my Savior cares

Hear Bill Gather Trio Sing: Does Jesus Care?

But the pastors who only care about their paycheck, the HIRELINGS, don't care! Pastor Jeff Redlin doesn't care! I love people and don't like to have bad blood. So on June 17th, 2022 I sincerely wrote a kind letter to Pastor Jeff Redlin at Campus Church. In the letter I asked him to please forgive me and allow me to once again attend Campus Church. I explained my hardships and health woes, asking for his love and an olive branch (an offering of peace), Very sadly, Jeff Redlin didn't bother to respond. Evidently I'm not worth his time.

I've been praying for Pastor Redlin, that God will humble his pride and haughty spirit. Mr. Redlin is not a humble man, not at all. Sadly, there is no forgiveness at Campus Church. I contacted their Pastor's Office, but there is no second chances at PCC. God will judge between me and Campus Church. SHAME on the PCC camp for hiring such an uncaring fool to influence their thousands of students. Is that the kind of poor example that PCC wants their students to see and emulate, an uncaring proud pastor who refuses to forgive and give a hurting man a second chance?

As a testimony before God and man, I am still willing to remove all my criticisms against Pastor Redlin, Pensacola Christian College and Campus Church from social media, if they'll simply allow me to attend Campus Church again, but Jeff Redlin so far would rather be at war instead of make peace. Does that sound like a man of God to you? No way! By refusing to reply to my sincere plea for forgiveness, Pastor Jeff Redlin has sadly confirmed everything negative which I have said about him on social media, primarily that Jeff Redlin is a cold-hearted academic snob who woefully lacks God's love and compassion for hurting divorced people like me. John 10:13, “The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.”

I've said it before, and I'll say it again and again... PEOPLE JUST WANT TO BE LOVED!!! I dearly love this man below, Pastor John K. Jenkins Sr. (he is the faithful longtime pastor of the First Baptist Church of Glenarden, Maryland). God bless this beautiful redeemed sinner...

Forgiveness - Part II - Pastor John K. Jenkins Sr.

Sadly, we live in a throw-away society today in America. When you offend someone, they just throw you away. I offended Pastor Jeff Redlin, so he sinfully threw me away as a human being. They still have the 9,999 sheep, so they don't care about the 1 lost lamb like me who needs their love, help and friendship. John 10:13, “The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.” You see, Jeff Redlin is getting paid well over $100,000 a year as the senior pastor of Campus Church. It is all about money!!!

1st Timothy 6:10 warns that THE LOVE OF MONEY is the root of all evil. These carnal pastors and leaders at PCC are so defensive of their salaries, that they are always on the defensive. I triple-dog dare you to search Google for Pensacola Christian College scandal, sex abuse, mental abuse, expelled students, rape and you will see how corrupt and horrible Campus Church and PCC really are. They don't give a damn about hurting people!!! All they care about is making more filthy lucre (bill-gotten money). When a religious institution like Pensacola Christian College expels their own senior students over the smallest of offenses (i.e., Twitter comments, showing public allegiance to confederate general Robert E. Lee, et cetera).

Kindly said, Campus Church and Pensacola Christian College leadership seriously lack good sense, God's love and compassion for people. I attended Campus Church as a new guest for the summer of 2021. Their senior pastor, Jeff Redlin, was emotionally cruel and abusive toward me because I am a divorced single man. It didn't matter to him that my former wife abandoned and divorced me in 2006, and I have lived alone since, Redlin made it clear that I am not permitted to ever get remarried. According to Jeff Redlin, a man should just use a pillow and box of napkins for the rest of his life when his libido needs to be relieved. PCC are out of touch with reality. Redlin literally scolded me for telling him that I hoped to "find a wife at Campus Church." He told me right in front of his wife, that if I ever did find a woman to marry, he wouldn't perform the wedding. Jeff Redlin is cruel! John 10:13, “The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.” The hireling doesn't care!

Long story short, I felt unwanted and unloved as a hurting divorced person at PCC, so I left Campus Church in September of 2021. I then became critical on social media of Jeff Redlin and PCC. But I felt bad, because I love God and people. I wanted to make peace with them at Campus Church. So I wrote a very kind and sincere letter and mailed it to Pastor Redlin on June 17, 2022, asking him to please forgive me and allow me to attend Campus Church again. He never bothered to respond. I must have offended the PCC gods. It just justifies all my criticisms against Pastor Redlin and PCC, that they are a bunch of cold-hearted academics who woefully lack God's love and compassion for people. That is not Bible Christianity. People just want to be loved, an important lesson that the PCC camp still haven't learned after all these many years they've been in business. It is truly sad. Thank you for reading my comments. John 10:13, “The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.” The hireling doesn't care!

Jesus said that the people who get HIRED (aka, hireling) to work with the sheep (pastors of churches), quit and abandon the sheep when the wolves comes, because THEY ONLY CARE AS MUCH AS THEIR PAYCHECK! They fled because defending the sheep wasn't worth what they were getting paid, which just shows and proves that they were only in it for the money all the time. This is exactly what Jeff Redlin is, a hireling who doesn't care. The day that his paycheck is gone, Jeff Redlin will be gone! ...

Romans 16:17-18, “Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.”

Jesus said that phony pastors who are only in the ministry for the money, WILL QUIT when the storms come upon a church. They WILL abandon the sheep, but Jesus will NEVER leave nor forsake His sheep (you and me, and all saints). John 10:13, “The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.” Here we see a very strong Biblical principle, that people who enter into the ministry to make money, cannot be depended upon. Psalms 15:5, “He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent.  He that doeth these things shall never be moved.” You can trust a person who doesn't regard money. You cannot trust someone who loves money! Psalms chapter 15 teaches us how to NEVER CHANGE! One of the ways to never change is to abandon the desire for making money. In other words: I'M NOT FOR SALE!!!

Since 2002, when I started my website ministry, I have never asked for, nor accepted, nor even suggested, that anyone give me a money donation. If I wanted, I could make several thousand dollars each year just from accepting donations. I had a kind man on Facebook, a couple days ago, ask me if I would accept a financial offering from him. He wanted to show his love and appreciation for my ministry, which he said God has used to change his life. I kindly declined, but asked him for his prayers instead for me and my ministry for Christ. Prayer is priceless!!! I am humbled that anyone would want to give me their hard-earned money, but I decided in 2002 that I would never take a penny for my ministry work. I want people to know where my heart is it—helping others freely with God's unconditional love. I am your servant!

Sadly, and I don't mean to berate Pastor Jeff Redlin (God knows my humble heart), Jeff Redlin does NOT have a servant's heart. He has a big shot's attitude—BIG MAN on Campus (literally)—who looks down on a nobody like me with contempt, instead of forgiving and embracing me as his Christian brother in need with God's love. There is NO GREATNESS in Jeff Redlin. I say that in truth, not in hate. The opposite of love is not hate, it is INDIFFERENCE! I am reminded of a beautiful MP3 sermon by Pastor Jack Hyles titled: 'Is There No King In Thee?'

They don't have God's unconditional love for people at Campus Church and PCC, they are indifferent toward heresy in the Bob Jones University camp, sinfully hobnobbing and bidding Godspeed to BJU. Sadly, George Harrison of The Beatles showed more love for people, than most professed Christians do today in the churches. Something is very wrong with the picture!

There are no perfect churches, I understand that. If there were a perfect church, we wouldn't be allowed to attend there! Evidently Campus Church at Pensacola Christian College must think they are perfect though, because Pastor Jeff Redlin refuses to allow me to attend their church services. Redlin refuses to forgive me. That is heathendom, not Christianity! I wouldn't give you a dome for the phony bologna fake type of Christianity that exists at Campus Church and PCC today. “I-chabod” is written over their doors at PCC, The glory of the Lord has departed.” The Holy Spirit is not there in power. Campus Church is a lukewarm disgrace!

Please don't misunderstand me. I am not saying that every pastor who receives a salary doesn't care. But I am saying that many of them DON'T CARE, who get paid for what they do. The way to know if a pastor cares is very simple—YOU WILL KNOW!!!

I love Pastor John K. Jenkins Sr., who genuinely loves and cares about people. We're all a bunch of “Jacked Up Jokers” (as Pastor Jenkins preaches). We sure are! There is a night and day difference between the self-righteous hypocrisy of the unforgiving Pensacola Christian College crowd, versus the real people who are broken redeemed sinners like me and the beautiful people at the First Baptist Church of Glenarden, Maryland. PEOPLE JUST WANT TO BE LOVED!!!

Pastor John K. Jenkins Sr.

“We're saved because we have faith in Jesus. We believe that He died on the cross. We believe He was buried, and stayed there for three days, and we believe He got up out of the grave. ...The law never gives life!” —Pastor John K. Jenkins Sr., 'Justified: The Book Of Galatians, Chapter 2

There Is No Love At Pensacola Christian College And Their Horrible Campus Church

1st John 3:17, “But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?”

Pastor Jeff Redlin has no honor. I mailed two separate letters (one to Jeff Redlin on June17th, 2022 and the other to all the pastors of Campus Church on July 21st, 2022), and one email to Pastor Redlin on August 2nd, 2022, and a separate letter to PCC on July 21st, 2022, pleading with them all for forgiveness, so that I could come back to Campus Church. I offered to do whatever is necessary to come back to Campus Church, and Jeff Redlin knew it. But he waited SIX WEEKS to write me back, and I didn't understand why. So I finally had had enough and I lashed out against them on August 2nd, 2022 on my website ministry. It is obvious to me now that Redlin was hoping I'd do just that, grow tired of waiting, so that he'd have the excuse he wanted to permanently get rid of me. Jeff Redlin has no humility or love!

Even though I offered to do whatever they require to make peace, Redlin sinfully manipulated my words, claiming that they were waiting for me to remove my harsh comments against the from social media. But I had plainly told the pastors of Campus Church (and PCC) that I FIRST wanted to know if I could come back to Campus Church, which they refused to do. THE TRUTH is that neither Jeff Redlin or Timothy Zachariah wanted me to come back to church. They ignored my promise to do whatever they required to make peace. They were just looking for any excuse they could find to ban me from attending church, even though it was so obvious that as a hurting and tired man, I simply wanted their love and a second chance to attend church. I didn't ask to work on staff or enroll in PCC, I just wanted to attend church. What kind of ungodly pastors refuse to let someone even sit in church? Ungodly men!

Pastor Redlin further twisted my words around, saying that even though they refused to allow me to come back to Campus Church, they hoped that I would keep my promise to remove my comments from social media. But I never promised to remove my comments from social media, unless they first agreed to let me come back to church. Why should I spend months removing comments from social media, hurting my ranking in Google search engine for missing webpages, just to find out that PCC still refuses to forgive me? So, no, I'm not removing anything, since they are filled with hatred and refuse to give me a second chance to attend church. That is not Bible Christianity.

Although Jeff Redlin has cruelly referred to my online preaching as “consequential,” I have no regrets for telling THE TRUTH. I exposed Jeff Redlin and company for wickedly bidding Godspeed to the hellbound Bob Jones University (BJU) camp and their damnable heresies of Lordship Salvation, and wrong repentance (aka, turn away from sinful behavior to get to Heaven garbage theology). RIGHT DOCTRINE MATTERS!!!

I also told the world online about Pastor Jeff Redlin's abusive nature. The guy has a small heart, but gets paid a big salary. When I first met Pastor Redlin at the 4th of July picnic in 2021 at Campus Church, I told him that I had just arrived from the island of Guam 36 hour earlier, but was sleeping in Walmart's parking lot. He just cold-heartedly walked away from me. I was hurt that the senior pastor of Campus Church, having tons of resources at his disposal, would rather just leave his Christian brother sleeping in a Walmart parking lot. 1st John 3:17, “But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?”

And then a couple days later I emailed Jeff Redlin to introduce myself, explaining my painful divorce 15 years earlier in 2006, when my former wife abandoned me. I spent 5 hours composing me email, wanting to make sure it was exactly what I meant to say, and respectfully written. I couldn't have been more kind, loving and respectful. Toi my horror, Redlin replied by scolding me for mentioning that I hoped to find a wife at Campus Church. I realized at this moment that I was dealing with a small-minded religious man, who is self-righteous and woefully lacks God's compassion for hurting people.

That is so tragic, that PCC would subject its thousands of students to such a shallow, religious and strictly academic type person, who lacks God's compassion for people. This seems to be the norm in the PCC camp—a lot of formal religion, snobby culture and restrictive rules (the letter of the law); but there is little love and the Holy Spirit of God. I was abused by Jeff Redlin, and the abuse continues in 2022. He refuses to make peace with me. That is so sinful and wrong. It is really evil. By the way, I am still wanting to make peace with the PCC camp, anytime Pastor Redlin decides to grow up and communicate with me like two adults. All I am asking in return is to be able to attend Campus Church. PCC refuses to do it. What does that say? No doubt Jeff Redlin will make a bunch of lame excuses, which is his pattern. But I will do WHATEVER IS REQUIRED by PCC to make peace with them, but they won't meet me half way to give me the opportunity. PCC doesn't care about making peace, they just want more money. I know that greatly offends PCC, but their refusal to allow me to attend Campus Church proves that it is tragically the truth.

Just as all wicked people do, Jeff Redlin selectively read my letters, only seeing what he chose to see, trying to manipulate my words in an attempt to blame me for his wicked refusal to help a hurting Christian brother. Jeff Redlin is not a nice man. My offer still stands PCC camp. I PROMISE to remove all my comments from social media, and never put them back again, BUT ONLY IF Pastor Jeff Redlin wants to make peace with me as well, so that I can once again attend Campus Church. The sad truth is that Redlin is a manipulative liar, who secretly in his black heart harbors hatred against me, which is tragic. He'll falsely accuse me of not removing my harsh remarks from social media, but I asked him if I could please come back to Campus Church, which he refused to answer for SIX WEEKS, until he finally said no way.

I admirably took the initiative to contact Jeff Redlin, Campus Church and PCC, offering to reconcile with them. No one in the PCC camp ever took the initiative to make peace with me. That's because no one gives a damn over there at PCC. There is no love or desire to reconcile with their enemies. Anybody would get upset after being totally ignored for 6 weeks!!! What is wrong with Jeff Redlin? I am not good at playing Redlin's mind games. It shouldn't be a chess game when someone begs for forgiveness so they can come back to church. I was waiting for Pastor Redlin to meet me halfway, expressing his desire to also make peace with me, but he stubbornly refused to do so.

Pastor Redlin wanted me to crawl on my hands and knees like a dog, jumping through his hoops and totally submitting myself as his slave, but I am not for sale folks! All he needed to do with communicate with me like a reasonable adult, which he refused to do for six long weeks! Jeff Redlin and Timothy Zacharias behave as two children, who are too immature to meet with people. I offered to come down to Campus Church, so we could sit down and have a meeting, but they refused. It wasn't until I had finally had enough of their evasive behavior for 6 weeks, that I finally lashed out against those pastors and PCC on social media.

Then at that point, Jeff Redlin he told me that I couldn't attend Campus Church ever again. That is the typical abusive nature and hatred which permeates from the PCC camp. They push people!!! They do everything in their power to control, upset and ostracize people; and then when those people react unfavorably, PCC blames and kicks them out of their religious cult! God sees the evil that the pastors of Campus Church did to me, and the Lord will deal with them. It couldn't be more obvious that I was fully willing (and wanted) to make peace with the PCC camp (and my offer to make peace still stands). But I won't be bullied by two thug pastors!!!

Unlike Pastor Jeff Redlin (who in his last email to me on August 2nd, 2022 said that because of my “consequential remarks” online I am banned from Campus Church), my last email to him afterwards was filled with love, apologies and still humbly begging to come back to Campus Church). Redlin refuses to reply, as usual. Who wants to make peace in this dispute? I do. Who is the only one making an effort to reconcile? I am. So what is wrong with Jeff Redlin and Timothy Zacharias, who hide as cowards in their church office? I will gladly meet with them anywhere, anytime, so we can talk this out and reconcile. They won't do it.

Dear reader, whoever you may be friend, there is no love at Pensacola Christian College. Oh yes, there is emotionally provoking singing. Oh yes, there is snobby culture, with their elaborate orchestra and opera type singers. Oh yes, there is a big fancy building. But there is no genuine love for hurting divorced people like me. Pastor Redlin berated me as a divorced person. Right in front of his lovely wife, he embarrassed me, telling me that even if I did find a wife he refused to perform the wedding. What a horrible thing to say to a hurting and lonely divorced man.

This is why Jeff Redlin won't allow me to come back to Campus Church, because I grabbed him by the short-hairs, when I told the world on social media what he did to mistreat me as a human being. It was bad enough that he just walked away, after I told him that I was sleeping homeless in Walmart's parking lot. But then he cruelly scolded me for mentioning that I hoped to find a wife at Campus Church. In lieu of all the several dozens things I mentioned in my first heartfelt email to him, trying to become his sincere friend, Redlin shamefully chose to focus on my comment that I was lonely for 15 years and hoped to find a Christian woman to marry at church. What a hateful pastor!

And then he adds salt to the wound by embarrassing me in front of his wife on a Sunday morning. Tyranny is rarely seen by those who are not oppressed by it. Jeff Redlin has most people fooled, pretending to be some humble man that actually cares, but it is a masquerade. In reality, Jeff Redlin is an insecure little man who is a coward, full of resentment and hatred for anyone (like me) who dares to call him out and criticize him. As the senior pastor of PCC, Redlin gets paid well over $100,000 per year. Campus Church took in $3,500,000 just in 2020, finishing the year 2020-2021 with $1,200,000 left in the bank. Their exorbitantly high salaries are sickening!

PCC is infamous for discarding unwanted students and people in their Campus Church. That is not Bible Christianity. You either love everyone or you love no one! Jeff Redlin despises me. The great loving heart of our God is not present in the PCC camp. While I attended Campus Church, I did not discern God's Spirit in that place; but rather, the haughty spirit of man. PCC is guilty of merely going through the external motions of playing church, but there is no compassion for hurting people like me.

Like sicko Hollywood, PCC likes to fall all over themselves with awards, praising each other, but there is no love. I cannot help that I am divorced. My former wife left me and refused to reconcile in 2006. I have reluctantly lived alone since, depressed and suffering with inexplicable pain of soul. Yet, insensitive Pharisees like Jeff Redlin just expect lonely people like me to pray about it and be single for the rest of my life, while he gets to go home and enjoy his wife every night. Does that even sound reasonable, at all? Kindly said, the PCC camp are out of touch with reality. PCC attracts mostly married couples, since they are hard on divorced people, making them feel inferior, bad about themselves and unwanted at Campus Church. They do have some formerly divorced people who are now married at PCC, but if you are divorced like me, single, and hoping to remarry, they will shun you!!!

THE TRUTH is that Pastor Jeff Redlin, and his accomplice Tim Zacharias, were looking for any reason that they could find to prevent me from returning to Campus Church. Even though I poured out my heart to Pastor Redlin in a letter mailed to him on June 17th, 2022, he totally ignored me! If he had God's love, after reading such a humble letter, he would have taken the initiative to reply right away, to encourage me, since I was trying to do the right thing. And then in frustration one month later, after still not hearing back from anyone, I wrote a second letter on July 21st, 2022. I mailed two copies, one to the dear pastors of Campus Church, and the second to Pensacola Christian College. I again poured out my heart and apologized to everyone, but they all completely ignored me! Who wouldn't be hurt and get upset at this point?

So on August 2nd I lashed out on social media against Campus Church and PCC, rightly accusing them of refusing to forgive me so that I could come back to church. In his typical cold-hearted and deceitful fashion, Pastor Redlin blamed me, accusing me of not removing my criticisms from social media as I had promised. But I never promised to do anything until I heard back from him, wanting to know if he agreed to let me come back to church. The reason why I didn't remove my criticisms is because I still stand behind them 100%. Jeff Redlin falsely accused me in July of 2021 of “finding weaknesses in preachers” with my website ministry. He slanders my life's work and has nothing good to say about it?

Something that I really loath about some bad pastors, is that they are selective in who they care about, and who they don't. If there was ever someone that Christ had a legitimate reason to hate and despise, it was Judas who betrayed Him to be crucified on a cross. But what did Jesus call Judas, “Friend.” Dear reader, you don't get to pick and choose who you love. You either love everyone, even the most annoying and rotten human being on earth, or else you don't really love anybody, even though you may pretend to do so. The one great thing that I see missing in churches and pastors today is God's unconditional love for hurting people.

In my last email to Pastor Redlin, I kindly explained that my rantings against him on social media were really just a hurting and broken man, reaching out to be loved. And yet, he refuses to have anything to do with me. That is so wicked and wrong!!! I will continue to pray for Jeff Redlin, that God will convict his wicked and cold heart, so that at some point he will begin to truly love people. Only God can take a man and BREAK HIM, so that he will learn to love. Redlin said on August 2nd, 2022 to me, that remarks on social media were “consequential,” so that they won't permit me to attend Campus Church anymore. Folks, that is unforgiveness! That is carnal hatred of others. That is a refusal to forgive. You cannot merely tell someone that you forgive them, but then deny them permission to come to church to sing and fellowship with other believers. Sadly, something is very wrong with Jeff Redlin and Timothy Zacharias. They are shallow-minded men who lack God's love and understanding.

There is no love at Pensacola Christian College.

The Hateful, Unforgiving Spirit Of Pastor Jeff Redlin, Campus Church And Pensacola Christian College

Ephesians 4:30-32, “And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.”

Matthew 6:15, “But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.“

I need to explain some history first, so you will understand. I moved from the island of Guam (where I had lived for 17 years) in July of 2021 to Pensacola, Florida. While on Guam, I attended the Harvest Baptist Church for the year of 2013-2014. For the first few months I was numb from my broken life and inexplicable emotional trauma in my life after my former wife divorced me in 2006, and the mayhem that followed in the years afterward. But as Samson's hair began to grow and his strength return, I began to regain my courage as a preacher at Harvest Baptist Church. I learned firsthand at Harvest that the Bob Jones University cult there preach the Devil's lies of Lordship Salvation, teach a false meaning of repentance and use the Devil's corrupt bibles. 

On one particular Sunday, Harvest's senior pastor Marty Herron gave an invitation at the end of his sermon, saying verbatim: “It is not enough to admit that you are a sinner to get to Heaven, you must also turn away from a lifestyle of sinning.” I was sickened in my soul to hear such heresy being taught to hundreds of people present in church that Sunday morning. I went home and literally cried many tears, asking God if I should go back to Harvest or not, since they were a cult. I felt that God wanted me to try to help them, so I did. I took hundreds of dollars of my own money and bought hardcopies of a few books (authored by faithful men of God) and gave them to the pastors. Those books were:

• I Never Knew You (by Michael P. Bowen)
• Martin Luther: Master Of Deceit (by Pastor Max D. Younce)
• Somebody's Got To Milk The Cows (here's the mp3 sermon upon which the book is based, by Pastor Jack Hyles)
• NIV: The Antichrist's Bible (by Pastor Al Lacy)

The response from Harvest's wicked pastors were to scold me officially in the church office, which compelled me to leave their theological cult. But I was so lonely in the years to follow, having lost my church family. I missed them all so much, and all the friends I had made, and the woman I had fallen in love with and wanted to marry. I begged three times in 2017 if Harvest's pastors (Marty Herron, Joe Hansen and Jared Baldwin) would please forgive me, and just allow me to attend their church. I gave them my solemn promise that I would remove all my criticisms against their church from social media, to the best of my human ability, and regardless of what happened in the future I would never criticize them or Harvest again on social media. They unanimously cold-heartedly refused. Marty Herron in particular, since he was the senior pastor and ringleader of their cult, adamantly refused, telling me verbatim to “Go elsewhere.” I was devastated emotionally, again, feeling their hatred and rejection.

The Holy Spirit comforted me with this Old Testament Bible passage, reminding me that my great Savior was also despised and rejected of men for telling THE TRUTH:

Isaiah 53:3, “He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.”

I am guilty of one thing: TELLING THE TRUTH!!!

In hindsight it is obvious that I never should have tried to go back to that cesspool of iniquity at the Harvest Baptist Church on Guam. After my fallout with Harvest's ungodly pastors, some of my friends at the church (Doug and Karen Abels, Dave and Amy Morgan, my neighbours Carl and Peggy and their four children) also left the church. Harvest was a sinking ship!!! For seven lonely years (from late 2014 to 2021) I had no church family because of Marty Herron's wickedness, for which I plead with God to hold him fully accountable.

In July of 2021 I moved away from Guam, broken in soul and body, frustrated and tired. When I arrived in Pensacola on July 2nd, I chose to attend Campus Church at Pensacola Christian College (PCC), not realizing what I was getting into. I learned very quickly that PCC is in league, spiritually fornicating with Harvest Baptist Church on Guam and Bob Jones University (BJU). I was again sickened.

If you search on Google for “Harvest Baptist Church, KHMG radio,” you'll see that Jeff Redlin's name appears on Harvest's church website. Harvest plays Redlin's sermons on their radio station. In 2014, I had prayed together at Harvest with the man who operated the KHMG radio station on Guam at the time (which is broadcast throughout Micronesia, corrupting the islands). When I started attending Campus Church in 2021, I met that same man, who had moved back to the United States, and was now running the radio station at PCC. And that man's son is now on Guam, running Harvest's KHMG radio station. What a small world it is! 

The man who runs the radio station at PCC is a good man, and I love him in the Lord, but I am just making a point that PCC and Harvest are connected, which is a problem because of their drastic difference in doctrine (literally preaching two different plans of salvation). I know that Pastor Redlin preaches a free grace Gospel, but BJU does not. I directly asked Pastor Redlin if he believes that repentance and faith are one act, and he confirmed yes, they are. But the BJU camp views repentance as a separate act from faith, in which you must turn away from your sinful ways or else your faith is said to be false. Dr. Redlin is correct, BJU is wrong.

Pensacola Christian College Wickedly Bids Godspeed To Unsaved Bob Jones University Calvinists

My point ladies and gentlemen is that PCC is in bed with Harvest Baptist Church (which is a cesspool of BJU and PCC graduates). Marty Herron quit as the longtime senior pastor of Harvest in 2018, escaping on a golden parachute, now destroying young people's lives as the vice president of Faith Baptist Bible College And Theological Seminary in Ankeny, Iowa. That college has a devil working for them! They are all buddies (the PCC and BJU camps), milking the money-tree together, joined at the hip as spiritually deformed conjoined twins.

After a couple weeks of attending Campus Church, one of my enemies made sure to slander me to Campus Church. I couldn't figure out why Pastor Redlin had ignored my kind emails to him for 10 days. I found out later that he and the other pastors of Campus Church, became offended when they discovered my website ministry. In his own cruel words, Jeff Redlin falsely accused me of “finding weaknesses in preachers,” when in reality I am preaching against WICKEDNESS in preachers!!!

What the former shameful pastor of Harvest (Marty Herron) preaches (Lordship Salvation and giving up your sinful behavior to be saved) is a false gospel. It is not a weakness, but gross theological incompetence and demonic wickedness!!! Marty Herron is an infidel, not a born-again believer. You cannot get saved by partial faith in Christ plus trying to keep the law (Romans 3:19-20). You don't have to give up your willful sinning to be saved (Romans 6:1). Correct Bible doctrine teaches that God saves you by faith alone (Romans 4:5), and then He indwells you with His Holy Spirit, who convicts and works to change your life (1st Peter 2:2; 2nd Peter 3:18; Romans 12:1-2). Growing in grace (sanctification) has nothing to do with getting saved (the legal matter of justification). I think Pilgrim's Progress author John Bunyan said it best:

“If you do not put a difference between justification wrought by the man Christ without and sanctification wrought by the Spirit of Christ within, you are not able to divide the Word aright; but contrariwise, you corrupt the Word of God, and cast stumbling blocks before the people.” —John Bunyan (1628-1688)

That beautiful quote (which is 100% Biblical) refutes the false idea that a person must repent “of your sin” to be saved, or the Devil's lie of Lordship Salvation which says that more than faith is necessary to be born-again. All of these foolish unsaved preachers today (e.g., Ray Comfort, Paul Washer, John MacArthur, Adrian Rogers, R.C. Sproul, Marty Herron, Steve Pettit, Sam Horn, Chip Ingram and Chuck Phelps), who are teaching that you must forsake sinful behavior to receive God's free gift of eternal life, are corrupting THE TRUTH of the Gospel. Jesus Christ came into the world to die on the cross to pay for our sins, not demand that we try to clean up our lives to do our part to be saved.

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.

What PCC is doing is wicked, by sinfully bidding Godspeed to the Harvest Baptist Church on Guam and Bob Jones University. Harvest has deceitfully tried to hide what they believe, by removing their Statement of Faith from their website; however, one need only listen to their KHMG 88.1 FM radio station to hear Dr. Steve Pettit (executive president of Bob Jones University and an unsaved heretic) preaching Lordship Salvation (i.e., Calvinism). Harvest is awash with dozens of corrupt modern Bible versions. Their new pastor, Gary Walton, is as incompetent and wicked as his predecessor, still upholding the cult at BJU and fully supporting Steve Pettit's damnable counterfeit plan of salvation. 2nd John 1:11, “For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.”

I have mixed feeling in my heart about Pensacola Christian College. They are mostly correct on the Gospel, but have a false teaching on repentance. According to their official Foundation's Class, and I quote verbatim: “Repentance is a change of mind resulting in a change of behavior.” This is dangerous doctrine, because it gives the false impression that if your behavior hasn't change, you didn't really get saved (and that's along the same damnable doctrine being preaching by the Bob Jones crowd today, just not as drastic). BJU requires that you turn away from your intentional sinning to be saved, which is a false gospel. PCC falsely teaches that if you have genuinely repented at the time of salvation, your behavior will change afterwards. Either way, works are being associated with God's free gift of eternal life.

It is so sad what is happening to today's churches, which is the direct result of being trained by incompetent Bible colleges. God knows that I love everybody at Campus Church and PCC, and I miss them much. I went through the same heartache with the corrupt Harvest Baptist Church on Guam. And now, here again, I am going through the same ordeal with Pensacola Christian College and their church family. Honestly, I think they should rename their “Campus Church” to “Campus Chapel,” because that is really what it is, a place for their thousands of PCC students to meet three times a week. No true New Testament “church” would refuse to permit a broken-hearted man (me), who has poured out my heart pleading to come back to church. It just proves that everything I have preached against them on social media is true, that they are a bunch of academic types who woefully lack God's compassion for people.

PCC Camp Refuses To Reconcile With Me, Cannot Attend Campus Church

Having said all that, in frustration I left Campus Church in September of 2021. I took my opinions to social media, openly and harshly criticizing Pastor Jeff Redlin and his sidekick associate Timothy Zacharias. I exposed Campus Church and Pensacola Christian College, for their illicit relationship with BJU and the corrupt Harvest Baptist Church on Guam. The PCC camp is really upset with me, as you can imagine.

I am torn between my lonely personal life, needing a church family to love and be loved; versus my being faithful as a fundamentalist Baptist preacher to stand for THE TRUTH. As most of you know, my former wife divorced me against my will in 2006. I have lived alone ever since, which often causes depression and sadness. I go to sleep alone, I wake up alone. I talk to myself all throughout the day, because I need to talk to someone, and God is always there to listen to me. Being lonely is a type of prison. Yet, what does Marty Herron care, he has a wife? What does Jeff Redlin care, he has a wife? And yet these selfish wicked men berate me as a divorced man, and do everything they can to hinder me from finding a wife. If it weren't for Marty Herron's hatred, false gospel and wicked heart, I would have married the woman I loved at Harvest, who also liked me, but Herron coerced her to diss me (and she did).

When I first started attending Campus Church in July of 2021, I wrote a very sincere email to Pastor Redlin, explaining my pain of soul and body, my loneliness as a divorced man for 15 years, and my hope to find a wife at Campus Church. In his shallow selfishness, cruelty and self-righteous attitude, Pastor Redlin replied by scolding me for coming to church to find a wife. I was cut to the heart! I rebuked him back that he would ASS-U-ME this was the only reason I wanted to attend Campus Church. He put words in my mouth that I never said. I simply shared my heart with him, as a friend, thinking that perhaps since it is such a big church that I might meet someone. I pray to God that Mr. Redlin could know what loneliness feels like, because he has no idea. I know what it means to suffer. I do not hate Pastor Redlin, but he is not right with God, and sadly doesn't want to be either. The guy is getting paid a ridiculous 6-digit exuberant salary, and I mean absolutely nothing to him as a human being. It's just a damn job to him, sadly.

In the last letter sent on July 21, 2022, I provided my email address, my mobile phone number and my mailing address, but I haven't heard anything from anyone at PCC. It is sad. They are in bed spiritually with the Bob Jones University cult, and in so doing have made themselves partakers of their evil deeds (the damnable falsehoods of Lordship Salvation, Devil's bibles and misunderstood repentance). RIGHT DOCTRINE MATTERS!!! I am the only one who is TELLING THE TRUTH, and taking a faithful Biblical stand against the false plan of salvation being preached today by John MacArthur and Steve Pettit (and by extension the ungodly Harvest Baptist Church on Guam). 

When I attended the Lighthouse Baptist Church on Guam in 2018 for several months, Sean Quinlan (an incompetent PCC intern pastor), rebuked me harshly when he overheard me tell a church member that: “Bob Jones University promotes corruptible seed” (fake bibles). I initially apologized to him for offending him, but he kept running his big mouth, accusing me of having no class and usurping his authority as the church pastor. The guy freaked out! I added my comment that the Harvest Baptist Church on Guam is preaching Calvinism. Quinlan snapped back, saying: “Harvest is our sister church!” Oh my God, “sister church”? I was utterly sickened by what he had just uttered out of his potty mouth.

Sadly, Sean Quinlan and the entire PCC camp are committing spiritual adultery with the Bob Jones University camp. In case you missed it, please read the damnable heresy being preached at BJU today!!! (here is a backup article, just in case). Folks, I am not the bad man here!!! I am obeying Titus 1:9-14:

Titus 1:9-14, “Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers. For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision: Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake. One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies. 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.”

The deadly theological garbage that Steve Pettit and his followers (Marty Herron, Gary Walton, Chuck Phelps, et cetera) are preaching, turns men away from THE TRUTH. I cannot recommend enough that you please read Michael P. Bowen's beautiful book: “I Never Knew You” (free online .pdf version), which is a brilliant defense of the free grace Gospel (hard copies are available on Amazon.com, which make great gifts for loved ones or people you want to share the Gospel with in a discreet manner).

Our churches and Bible colleges are in big trouble today dear reader, because no one is standing anymore against false doctrine. It is for faithfully contending for the faith (Jude 1:3), that the BJU camp at the Harvest Baptist Church on Guam, and their butt-buddies in the PCC camp here in Florida, have all despised and rejected me, so that I am not even allowed to attend their weekly church services. Don't anyone dare tell me that America is not going to Hell. Today's pastors have blood-soaked hands!!!

I was feeling bad over the past several about the whole matter, regretting that I burned my bridges to attend Campus Church, by criticizing the PCC camp on social media. I don't regret the truths I have preached, I just regret that I burned my bridge to attend Campus Church, and to fellowship with the handful of friends that I made last summer. So on June 17, 2022 I wrote a sincere letter and mailed it to Pastor Jeff Redlin. He totally ignored me. So one month later I mailed two more, but separate letters, one to all the pastors of Campus Church and one to Pensacola Christian College (PCC). Sadly, they have totally ignored me again.

In the last letter I apologized for offending them. I pleaded for their forgiveness. I made a promise to them all, that if they would simply allow me to attend Campus Church, I would never criticize Campus Church or PCC on social media ever again. And I also offered to do whatever they require to make peace with them, including apologizing in front of Campus Church if they desired. Evidently they do not value me enough as a human being to even reply to my three heartfelt letters sent through the U.S. Postal Service. The ball is in their court. I have done what I can to make peace with the PCC camp, but they refuse. What saith the Scripture? Matthew 6:15, “But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.“

Campus Church has some very big wallets in their congregation, but I am a small fish with chump change. I have nothing to offer the PCC camp, except that I need their love and help, but they don't need me. You can tell a man's character by the way he treats those who can do nothing for him. I am a nobody. I'm just a hurting divorced man, with health problems (constant neck pain and burning nerves), a broken heart, who desires to be a part of the church family. I do want to find a Christian woman to marry. If that makes me a horrible sinner for being lonely and desiring a mate, then so be it.

My inspired King James Bible teaches in 1st Corinthians 7:1 that every man needs a wife. The Bible doesn't put conditions on that truth, but PCC does, condemning divorced people, expecting them to survive alone and single for the rest of their days. At PCC they only recognize the perfect will of God, but not the permissive will of God. So unless you are perfect, still married and dot all your i's and cross your t's just right, they reject you! That is a religious cult!!! I am not welcomed at Campus Church, because I have called them out for fornicating spiritually with the hellbound Bob Jones University cult. Look at the demonic trash which Dr. Steve Pettit teaches 2,700 BJU staff and students:

“You can't just speak about getting saved, and you accepted Christ, and then that's it! There is a justification; There is a sanctification; There's ultimately a glorification, and though there are three parts, they are all part of the whole, and you cannot separate them. In order for you to qualify for the award, you have to get into the race, you have to stay in the race, and you have to finish the race. If you want to win, you have to run to the end; and winning in the Christian life is everything, because if you lose—if you don't finish—you lose everything—you lose your SOUL. And so, the Christian race is the life of faith that begins, is run, and is finished when we cross over into Heaven!” [emphasis added] —Dr. Steve Pettit (“What Does It Mean To Run 'The Race'?” - 11:34)

That is some dangerous talk when you include the next quote from Dr. Pettit, in which he teaches over 2,700 BJU students that the “AWARD” for running 'The Race' is “Heaven itself”!!!

“We run the race, we cross the finish line, and so what’s the prize? What is the award? Well, there are different viewpoints. Some would have the viewpoint that the awards are crowns in Heaven. But as I read the book of Hebrews and see the whole gist of the book and the flow of the book, I don’t believe its referring to crowns in Heaven. I think it is referring to Heaven itself.” [emphasis added] —Dr. Steve Pettit (“What Does It Mean To Run 'The Race'?” - 22:57)

Heaven itself? Oh my! Steve Petit is preaching another gospel. According to Dr. Pettit, you cannot merely put your faith in Jesus as your personal Savior, and then know that you're going to Heaven. Oh no, he says you must then RUN THE RACE for the rest of your life, faithfully so, until the very end, and only then after all is said and done, can you know for certain that you've made it to Heaven. Dear reader, this is the Satanic tommyrot that Jeff Redlin, Campus Church and Pensacola Christian College are bidding Godspeed to today.

This is the balderdash that the cultic Harvest Baptist Church on Guam is steeped in, buried over their heads in the counterfeit gospel of Steve Pettit, John MacArthur, Ray Comfort, Paul Washer, Marty Herron and Gary Walton. Harvest won't even post their beliefs about salvation anymore on their church website, because they are wickedly attempting to appease both sides (Lordship Salvation versus Free Grace Gospel). Harvest is making lots of money by playing the ecumenical card, straddling the fence instead of choosing sides. 1st Kings 18:21, “And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions?  if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him.  And the people answered him not a word.” That is Harvest, cowards! That is PCC, cowards! I have chosen sides with the Free Grace Gospel. I am 100% against the Devil's lie of Lordship Salvation, and the Devil's lie that you must repent “of your sin” or “turn away from your sin” to receive God's free gift of eternal life. I am 100% against the Devil's modern corrupt Bible revisions, which the entire apostate Bob Jones University crowd use, sell and promote. RIGHT DOCTRINE MATTERS!!!

If Pastor Jeff Redlin were an honorable man who fears God, he would humble himself and contact me, and I would welcome him as my Christian brother, and humbly express nothing but respect and appreciation for him, but he doesn't care. PCC stands to lose millions of dollars by offending the BJU camp. The love of money is the root of all evil the Bible warns. Folks, it is our business what other Bible colleges and churches are preaching, because RIGHT DOCTRINE MATTERS. You're a fool if you think it's not our business!!! All I wanted was to attend Campus Church again, but Jeff Redlin refuses. What does that say about him?

The ironic thing about all this is that I never picked a fight with any of these men, they drew first blood. Like Rambo, who just wanted something to eat, but some king shite cop harassed and drove out of town instead; likewise, I just wanted to attend these churches (Harvest and Campus Church), but they started messing with me, scolding me for TELLING THE TRUTH. They drew first blood. They drew first blood!

God knows that I sincerely love Pastor Redlin with Christ's love, and I would love to be his friend. I wish I could go bike riding with some of the Christian men at PCC. But I feel nothing but contempt from Jeff Redlin. In all truth, he should be commending my website ministry for contending for the faith, instead of criticizing my life's work (as he has done). So he can criticize my work, but I dare not criticize his ministry, or else. Really fair, huh? I am still willing and trying to make peace, but Pastor Redlin doesn't want to. I am writing this blog as a testimony before God and man, that I am trying to make peace with the PCC camp, but they have refused three times already.

I have done what the Bible teaches, I have gone to my Christian brother to seek to be reconciled, but Jeff Redlin has cold-heartedly refused:

Matthew 5:23-24, “Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.”

I do have ought against Pastor Redlin now, because he refuses to reconcile. So the Bible teaches from this point on that God will not accept Jeff Redlin's sacrifice or worship, until he first repents (changes his mind) and is willing to reconcile with his brother. My PROMISE still stands, as long as I live in the city of Pensacola, to do my best to remove all my criticisms on social media against Campus Church and PCC, and never criticize the PCC camp again, BUT ONLY IF they'll just allow me to attend Campus Church again, so I can be a part of their church family.

My heart is hurting. I am saddened that I haven't heard back from anyone. I love them all so much at Campus Church and PCC, but they don't care about me. Where is Christ's love? I really could use Pastor Redlin's friendship right now. I know I can be difficult sometimes, but I am not a liar and I will keep my promise, if they will forgive and give me a second chance. I think I have an excellent spirit in this matter. What is wrong with the PCC camp? I challenge you Jeff Redlin, to show forth the great heart of God's love, and forgive me for offending you. I am truly sorry. I do not regret my preaching, I regret having burned my bridges, once again, to attend Campus Church. I am willing to make amends to gain a church family. Let him that hath ears to hear, hear. I love you all with Christ's unconditional love. Humbly.

Jesus' Physical Resurrection Is A Part Of The Gospel

1st Corinthians 15:12-17, “Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead? But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen: And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain. Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not. For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised: And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.”

I read a disturbing news article this week from Austin, Texas, about a church pastor who denies that Jesus Christ resurrected from the dead:

A pastor from Texas has drawn rebuke for making an outrageous claim on social media that Jesus Christ did not actually rise from the dead.

Jim Rigby, pastor of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church in Austin, Texas, made a satirical post describing himself as a Presbyterian minister bound for hell, according to Charisma News Senior Editor Jennifer LeClaire.

"Apparently, because I don't believe in a literal resurrection, I'm not really a Christian," Rigby wrote. "This unfortunately also means I won't be going to heaven with many of you," adding that while his family is enjoying a heavenly banquet, "I will be screaming in unending torment along with Jews and Democrats and the evil college professors who teach evolution."

"My accusers explained to me that I had it all wrong," Rigby went on. "They said I did not understand the gospel. You see, the earth was once a paradise. The dinosaurs were actually gentle and friendly. But then Adam and Eve stole a piece of fruit. God got very angry. So God invented cancer and hemorrhoids to punish human beings for our treachery."

Rigby questioned why God has decided to "barbecue us eternally for the mistakes of our ancestors." He also wondered why it became "good news" when God allowed His son Jesus to be crucified in our place.

SOURCE: Texas Presbyterian pastor draws rebuke for claiming that Jesus did not really rise from the dead

Dear reader, according to our text Scripture passage from 1st Corinthians 15:14-17, that pastor is not saved. That is, he cannot become a born-again believer until he repents of his unbelief, and acknowledges that Christ is indeed bodily risen from the dead.

For those of you who are familiar with my writings, you know that I often make mention of Jesus' “bodily” or “physical” resurrection from the dead. I use these important words on purpose, to emphasize that Christ is risen! I learned something frightening many years ago, that the cult of Jehovah's Witnesses (JW's) deny Jesus' bodily resurrection from the dead. JW's believe and teach that Jesus only raised up in spirit, but not physically in a literal fleshly body.

I love this beautiful passage of Scripture, recording Jesus' speaking to Thomas in His resurrected body:

John 20:25-29, “The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe. And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you. Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing. And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God. Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.”

Take a look at 1st Corinthians 15:6, regarding Jesus after He raised up from the dead:

1st Corinthians 15:6, “After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.”

Wow! Jesus was seen by over 500 saints at one time, in His resurrected glorified body. Amen and amen! Pastor Jim Rigby in Texas isn't the only pastor who denies Jesus' resurrection altogether, there are thousands more standing behind church pulpits today. It is apostasy!

NO ONE has ever been , or ever will be, born-again who denies Jesus' bodily resurrection from the dead. How can Christ save anyone, if He didn't rise up from the dead and exit His grave in the tomb? The Bible teaches that today Jesus physically sits upon a throne in Heaven, on the right-hand of His Father. Colossians 3:1, “If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.”

There is another heretical religious group called “modalists,” who teach that Jesus doesn't have a physical body in Heaven anymore. They believe that when Jesus bodily ascended into Heaven (Acts 1:11), that He just became the Father again. Modalists believe that when a saint gets to Heaven, we will just see God the Father sitting upon one throne, and not seen the Son in a separate body of His own. They believe that God enters into different “modes,” wearing different hats so-to-speak, but He only occupies one body. This is false doctrine!

Now, it is true that there is only one true and living God (Deuteronomy 6:4). And this one God exists and has manifest (revealed) Himself to humanity in the form of three distinct, separate, equal persons; namely, God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19-20; Colossians 2:2, 9). In theology the Godhead is often referred to as The “Trinity.”

Dear reader, make big of Jesus' bodily resurrection. I have read numerous “The Romans Road” religious tracts passed out by churches, in which Jesus' resurrection is not even mentioned. Sadly, Christ's bodily resurrection is often left out of tracts, which cannot accurate then be called “Gospel tracts.” They are really religious brochures, misleading people. I implore you friend to make sure to preach the true accurate Gospel, which is recorded by the Word of God:

1st Corinthians 15:1-4, “Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:”

When Paul says you are saved “if you keep in memory what I preached unto you,” he is not saying that you can lose God's salvation if you change your mind. In humbly believe that he's saying you were never saved at all if you drift away from the truth. It is a wrong mindset to tell people that they must keep having faith the rest of their life to go to Heaven. The correct mindset is that a born-again person (a child of God) WILL keep believing. You don't have to tell a human child to remember to stay alive. It is automatic.

Likewise, once you are saved, you are permanently saved. Nothing more is required to maintain being in state of salvation. This is why I expose The Salvation Army, for erroneously calling salvation "a state." Ladies and gentlemen, salvation is not "a state" that you enter into and out of; but rather, it is a new birth wrought by the Holy Spirit of God almighty (John 1:12-13).

I hope this blog has helped you to see the vital importance of constantly emphasizing Jesus' physical resurrection when witnessing to people. JESUS CHRIST IS RISEN!!!

Believers Will Give Account In Eternity For Bad We Do

2nd Corinthians 5:9-11, “Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.” 

1st Thessalonians 4:6, “That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified.”

I used to teach a very long time ago that Christians will only be rewarded in Heaven for the good that we do, but none of the bad things we do will ever be brought up. I was so WRONG!

In fact, as you just read from our text Scripture passages, God's children WILL be held accountable for the good AND OR BAD we have done in our fleshly body on earth. Carefully notice that the Bible doesn't say we will give account for “our sins”; but rather, for the “good or bad” done in our body. Jesus took the punishment for our sins on the cross, shedding His precious blood and dying a criminal's death for you and me. 2nd Corinthians 5:21, “For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.”

Jesus (Who was 100% sinless), became as sin (which is what the brass beat into the shape of a serpent by Moses pictured in John 3:14), so that we who have no righteousness of our own, could be saved by God's imputed righteousness through faith alone in Jesus Christ!!! Amen and amen. Philippians 3:9, “And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:”

Dear reader, all believers WILL be held accountable to our heavenly Father in eternity. Christ bore the heavy burden of our sins, so that we wouldn't have to by burning in Hell forever. I have heard many preachers falsely teach that believers won't be judged for our sins at the Judgment Seat of Christ. That is only half true! Yes, we won't be condemned for our sins (John 3:18; Romans 8:1). But we will be judged as God's redeemed children for our wrongs, and be rewarded accordingly (1st Corinthians 3:11-15).

Many believers will weep bitter tears of regret and sorrow at the Judgment Seat Of Christ. A few will shine as the stars forever (Daniel 12:3). No one in Heaven will stand as a shining example of what we all should have been, except Jesus Himself. The Bible teaches that there is no one today without sin in their life. You may do a good job of hiding your sins from others, but God sees your sins and they will be known in eternity. 1st Timothy 5:24, "Some men's sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some men they follow after."

There are many people who have commit horrible crimes, but have never been caught by the police. Some would receive life in prison if the horrible things they have gotten away with were known. But you can be rest assured that in eternity God will recompense all men for their evil deeds, or good deeds (Romans 12:19-21). The only difference is, will your works be judged on the basis of being an unsaved sinner (John 8:24), or as a redeemed child of God (Revelation 14:13)? No one ever gets away with anything forever! Hebrews 4:13, “Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.”
