Beware Of Neo-Evangelical And Neo-Fundamentalist False Witnesses

Proverbs 6:19, “A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.”

Proverbs 12:17, “He that speaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness: but a false witness deceit.”

Proverbs 14:5, “A faithful witness will not lie: but a false witness will utter lies.”

Proverbs 14:25, “A true witness delivereth souls: but a deceitful witness speaketh lies.”

Proverbs 19:5, “A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall not escape.”

Proverbs 19:9, “A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall perish.“

Proverbs 21:28, “A false witness shall perish: but the man that heareth speaketh constantly.”

There is nothing more dangerous today than the FALSE PROPHET! They lurk unawares in most churches, nearly all Bible colleges, rescue missions, mission boards, religious Tv and radio, you name it! 1st John 4:1, “Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.” Even 2,000 years ago when the Apostle John penned these inspired Words the Bible says that there were not a few, but “MANY” FALSE PROPHETS in the world, and so it still is today in 2025. 1st John 4:1 exhorts every saint to THINK OBJECTIVELY, questioning everything against the true and eternally inspired Word of God.

Here is an interesting Scripture passage from Proverbs 21:28, “A false witness shall perish: but the man that heareth speaketh constantly.” The phrase “heareth speaketh constantly” simply means “to report accurately.” FALSE PROPHETS will perish! Jesus said in Matthew 11:15, “He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.” Do you hear THE TRUTH dear reader. Sadly, most people today only hear what they want to hear; they hear the voices of FALSE PROPHETS! Jesus commanded us in John 5:39 to SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES!!!

In Acts 17:10-11, the Apostle Paul commended the Bereans for searching the Scriptures “daily” to verify the truths he had been teaching them; whereas the Thessalonians failed to study the Scripture, and were later confused because they forgot the truths Paul had taught them (2nd Thessalonians 2:5). There is nothing more contemptible than someone who merely believes whatever a preacher tells them, without confirming if it is THE TRUTH.

Literally BILLIONS of hellbound people today are blind followers of the blind, caught up in their damnable FALSE RELIGION. The Mormons, Roman Catholics, Orthodox Catholics, Church of Christ, Lutherans, Jehovah's Witnesses, Seventh-Day Adventists, Lordship Salvation Baptists, Reformed Calvinist Baptists—All FALSE RELIGIONS! RUN for your life dear reader!!!

Proverbs 6:19, “A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.” Nothing has caused division in our churches today as has the doctrinal error of Lordship Salvation, aka, you must “repent of your sins” to get to heaven. This is nothing less than a subtle way of adding works to grace. In sharp contrast, the inspired Holy Bible proclaims that eternal life is a free gift (Romans 5:15-18), paid for by the precious blood of Jesus Christ (1st Peter 1:18-19). JESUS PAID IT ALL!!!

A “neo-evangelical” is someone who who follows the modern corrupt fake church. They sing Contemporary Christian Music (CCM), which can hardly qualify as genuine music, woefully lacking in the doctrinal richness of the time-tested old hymns of the Christian faith. They preach a counterfeit gospel of Lordship Salvation. They errantly require that people be willing to forsake sinful bad habits to be saved. They effectively preach a partial faith in Jesus Christ plus works type of salvation, while deceptively still insisting that salvation is solely by grace alone through faith alone.

A “neo-fundamentalist” is someone who was formerly a fundamentalist, but has sinfully compromised and left the fundamentalist camp to move toward ungodly neo-evangelical camp. Many Baptists today are actually neo-fundamentalists. Just as socialism is a sure path to communism, so also is neo-fundamentalism a sure path to neo-evangelicalism. Nearly all churches today have become corrupted by Satan. Nearly all so-called “churches” today are using contaminated Bible revisions, preaching another gospel, and are not true churches.

For many years Pensacola Christian College (PCC) sinfully became neo-fundamentalist in their views, but today has wickedly turned hard core neo-evangelical, preaching hardcore Lordship Salvation. These groups are all FALSE WITNESSES, who cause division in the Body of Christ. Most of them are not born again believers, they are tares among the wheat. Only those who REST in the finished redemptive work of Jesus Christ—apart from turning from your sinful ways, following Christ as your 'Lord,' and giving your life over to Him—are truly saved.

Tragically, 99% of pastors today are filthy liars! Proverbs 14:5, “A faithful witness will not lie: but a false witness will utter lies.” I cannot warn you enough to avoid any fake church that is affiliated with Bob Jones University, Faith Baptist Bible College and Theological Seminary or Pensacola Christian College. These are Lordship Salvation CULTS!!!

Just as the serpent wickedly CHANGED God's Word in the Garden of Eden to TRICK Eve, which destroyed her life; so also has Satan wickedly CHANGED the inspired Holy Bible today, and PERVERTED the Gospel of free grace, to damn men's souls to Hell forever (2nd Corinthians 11:3-4, 13-15). When churches start following the TRADITIONS OF MEN instead of the COMMANDMENTS OF GOD (Mark 7:9-13), the truth is obscured so that lost sinners cannot be converted.

Lordship Salvation Causes Fear, Torment, Anxiety And Stress

John 5:39-40, “Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.”

More deadly than a mother bear robbed of her cubs is the Devil's damnable lie of Lordship Salvation. What is Lordship Salvation? It is a deadly heresy that teaches faith in the Gospel of Jesus Christ is not enough to be saved. In addition, a lost person is falsely told that they must turn away from their sinful behavior, surrender their life to serve Jesus, follow Christ no matter what the cost, commit your life to Christ, live a changed life, et cetera.

Lordship Salvation requires WORKS as evidence that you FAITH is genuine. So if a professed believer in Christ doesn't live a changed life, proponents of Lordship Salvation will conclude that the person's faith is not real and they are still unsaved. See and hear for yourself what the heresy of Lordship Salvation does to wreak havoc on a person's mind and soul...

The Damage of Lordship Salvation with John MacArthur

(This Should Make You Angry!)

This my dear reader is the sorrowful fruit of Lordship Salvation: stress, anxiety, worry, guilt, fear, condemnation, confusion and torment. This is what happens when you are taught to focus on the sinner rather than the Savior; analyzing self rather than searching the Scriptures; resting in my performance rather than His promise; looking in the mirror rather than looking unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith. Hebrews 12:2, “Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.” The true Gospel always points you to CHRIST; a false gospel always points to YOU.

Pastor John MacArthur horribly lies to this young woman in the preceding video, telling her:

“The way you know that you're saved is by your desire.” —John MacArthur

What saith the Scripture? 1st John 3:24, “And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.” What does the Bible command all men concerning getting saved? John 6:40, “And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.” That is God's commandment to receive eternal life.

Let'[s see what Jesus said in John 6:28-29, “Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.” Many people wrongly divide the Word of Truth (the Bible), tormenting themselves with a lie. One could easily assume that 1st John 3:24 is speaking about keeping all of God's commandments to get to Heaven, but that would be foolish, because we should NEVER base a doctrine on a single passage of Scripture. A good rule to follow when interpreting the Bible is to never use an obscure passage to contradict a clear one. We have the entire Gospel of John, which was authored by God specifically to show mankind how to get to Heaven. John 20:31, “But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.” Faith is the only righteous thing that I can do.

I receive hundreds of emails each year from people who are afraid they are not saved because of the sins in their life. This is the adverse consequence of the Devil's lie of Lordship Salvation. These poor souls have been lied to by wicked preachers. They have been deceived by the Devil concerning what God requires to get to Heaven. The Devil is a beautiful liar! Lordship Salvation is damnable heresy which causes stress, anxiety, fear, torment, tears and confusion in its victims. Those who trust in Lordship Salvation are always analyzing them self instead of "searching the Scriptures" (John 5:39). They are looking in the mirror, instead of looking to Jesus the Author and Finisher of our faith (Hebrews 12:2). Dear friend, RUN from Lordship Salvation. 

My dear friend in the ministry Michael P. Bowen was also a victim of Lordship Salvation for several years. Michael admits that if he had died during that time of anxiety, stress and confusion over God's plan of salvation, he would have went to a burning Hell forever. Thankfully, Michael testifies that one day he heard a sermon by Pastor Hank Lindstrom (1940-2008) that finally showed him THE TRUTH OF THE GOSPEL and Michael became a born-again Christian. That sermon is called: 'How Permanent Is Your Salvation?'

Michael Bowen wrote a helpful book about his ordeal, and he shows you exactly how you can also know that you are going to Heaven. The book is titled: I Never Knew You: The Horror Of The Great White Throne Judgment And How You Can Avoid It' (free .pdf version). You can obtain hard copies at Amazon.com store. I regularly order a few copies here and there to give away to the people in my life. A hard copy is much more likely to get read than a .pdf file.

Lordship Salvation is of the Devil. You get saved by coming to God as a needy guilty sinner (not by forsaking your sinful ways), and simply receiving Christ's sacrifice on the cross as payment for your sins. Nothing more is required or allowed by God, except faith in the Good News (Gospel) of His only begotten Son crucified, buried and risen for your sins (1st Corinthians 15:1-4). This is the Gospel of free grace! 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. Thank you humbly for reading my blog. To God be ALL the praise, credit and glory (John 15:5).

Am I Going To Heaven?

Choose below what you think is necessary to go to Heaven.

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Obey God's laws and commandments
2. Be sorry for your sins
3. Sincerely do your best
4. Turn from your sins and stop sinning
5. Do good deeds
6. Give money to church or charity
7. Water baptism or holy communion
8. Trust in Jesus Christ alone as your personal Savior
9. Trust in Jesus Christ as your Savior and also serve him
10. There is no Heaven or Hell

1) Obey God's laws and commandments

Trying to keep the commandments cannot save us but only shows us that we are sinners:

James 2:10 "For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all."

Try Again?

2) Be sorry for your sins

Being sorry for your sins, or confessing your sins cannot take away sin. The Bible says the penalty for sin is death. We all die physically, but we also deserve to die spiritually by spending eternity in Hell.

Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."

Try Again?

3) Sincerely do your best

Doing your best is commendable, To turn from your sins and stop sinning is also very desirable (yet impossible). Will doing these things make you perfect? No! Heaven is a perfect place and you must be perfect to enter. The Bible says:

Revelation 21:27 "And there shall in no wise enter into it (Heaven) anything that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the lambs book of life."

Try Again?

4) Turn from your sins and stop sinning

Doing your best is commendable, To turn from your sins and stop sinning is also very desirable (yet impossible). Will doing these things make you perfect? No! Heaven is a perfect place and you must be perfect to enter. The Bible says:

Revelation 21:27 "And there shall in no wise enter into it (Heaven) anything that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the lambs book of life.

Try Again

5) Do good deeds

No deeds, charity, contributions to churches, nor any good work by you, can take away your sins or save you. The Bible says:

Ephesians 2:8-9 "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is a gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast."

Try Again?

6) Give money to church or charity

No deeds, charity, contributions to churches, nor any good work by you, can take away your sins or save you. The Bible says:

Ephesians 2:8-9 "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is a gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast."

Try Again?

7) Water baptism or holy communion

Water baptism and communion cannot pay for sins. They are for those who are already saved.

Titus 3:5 "Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us..."

Try Again?

8) Trust in Jesus Christ alone as your personal Savior

Correct! By trusting in Jesus Christ who paid for all of your sins when he died on the cross, you will receive the GIFT of everlasting life.

Salvation is a GIFT, all you have to do is accept that GIFT.

Ephesians 2:8-9 "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is a gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast."

Even though you may die physically, your soul will live forever in Heaven. Jesus Christ said:

John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."

Jesus Christ also said:

John 6:47 "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on Me hath (possesses now) everlasting life."

Try Again?

9) Trust in Jesus Christ as your Savior and also serve him

Incorrect! You can do nothing to add to the finished work of Christ. By doing so, you are not trusting in Christ alone as your Savior but only as your helper. You cannot go to Heaven that way. You must forget about your good works and commitments as a means of saving yourself, and put your trust ONLY in the Savior - Jesus Christ.

Romans 4:5 "But to him that worketh not, but believeth on Him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness."

Try Again?

10) There is no Heaven or Hell

Friend, I cannot make you believe in Heaven or Hell. Maybe you don't believe in it because you can't see it. But neither can you see the air you breathe, yet without it you would die. Heaven is real! Hell is real! Why not investigate God's word?

John 3:18 "He that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."

Try Again?

How can I go to Heaven?

The fact is ... we are all sinners; we all deserve to go to Hell; Heaven is a perfect place and nothing we do can make us perfect. How then can we go to Heaven? The answer is found in God's word, the Bible:

"For He (God) hath made him (Christ) to be sin for us, Who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him." (II Corinthians 5:21)

You see, Jesus Christ died on the cross and rose from the dead to pay for all of our sins. He died FOR us. Only through Him can we have eternal life. What then must you do to go to Heaven?

By trusting in Jesus Christ as the one who died for your sins, you will receive everlasting life. Even though you may die physically, your soul will live forever in Heaven. Jesus Christ said:

"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." (John 3:16)

Jesus also said:

"Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on Me HATH (possesses now) everlasting life." (John 6:47)

The moment you trust Jesus Christ as your Savior, your sins will be forgiven, and you will receive God's righteousness (perfection). This allows you to enter Heaven...

"And by Him (Christ) all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses." (Acts 13:39)

Trusting Jesus Christ as your personal Savior is a one time decision in your life. The moment you believe in Christ, God will give you eternal life. Once you have believed, God accepts you as his child.

"But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name." (John 1:12)

God may discipline you when you disobey, but He will never cast you out of His family, You have eternal life which is secure. You can never lose it, neither can you forfeit it. God's unconditional promise is that He will never take it away from you.

"And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of My hand." (John 10:28)

This is called eternal security. Serving the Lord is important, once you are saved. It brings God's blessings and joy to your life. But if relied upon to get you to Heaven, it will not work. Salvation is ONLY by faith in Jesus Christ.

"These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may KNOW that ye have eternal life..." (I John 5:13)

Right now, why not trust Jesus Christ as your Savior. He will save you for all eternity. You can also have the assurance that your sins are forgiven (past, present, and future). God has said it, and He cannot lie!

"All that the Father giveth Me shall come to Me; and him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out. And this is the Father's will which hath sent Me, that of all which He hath given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day." (John 6:37-39)

Autopsy Of A Dead Church

Revelation 3:1, “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.”

Most churches in 2025 are spiritually dead... DEAD, DEAD, DEAD!

It is nauseating to visit the average church today.

Don't expect to hear anyone shout “Amen!,” because you won't find anything to shout Amen about.

On average you can expect to see nearly all the women wearing sexy pants.

You can expect to find a first-class music program, but second-class preaching.

In most cases you won't even hear any preaching. It is apostasy!

We're just not hearing enough preaching about Hell these days in church pulpits.

How can we expect lost sinners to come to Jesus Christ if we don't warn them about eternal punishment?

The New Testament mentions Hell 162 times, 70 of which came directly from the mouth of the Lord.

It was Evangelist Billy Sunday (1862-1935) who warned us 100-years ago that the Church was going apostate...

“It would be a godsend if the Church would suffer persecution today; she hasn't suffered it for hundreds of years. She is growing rich and lagging behind. Going back.” —Billy Sunday, “The Need for Revivals,” From "Billy Sunday: The Man and His Message,” by William T. Ellis, Philadelphia: John C. Winston Co., 1914

Billy Sunday had no idea how much of a prophet he was! Brother Sunday was right—the Church is growing rich, lagging behind and going backwards!!! I was listening recently to some old-fashioned, red-hot, Christ-honoring, Bible-preaching by Evangelist Phil Kidd.

There are many pastors who are respectable in their particular ecumenical circles, good men of character, excellent orators, decent men, and likable in personality; yet they are not doing their duty when they are silent about eternal punishment and the fires of Hell. Effectively, a Baptist pastor who doesn't mention “Hell” from the pulpit is no better than a Seventh-Day Adventist (SDA's) minister who doesn't believe in eternal punishment in a fiery Hell. SDA's teach that the unsaved will be annihilated, ceasing to be conscious for all eternity. That is not what the holy Bible teaches. God says in His Word that Hell is a literal PLACE, that burns with literal FIRE, and lasts literally for all ETERNITY. The Bible teaches that Hell lasts forever! By the way, there is not a more dangerous cult than Seventh-Day Adventism, and they detest Baptists. SDA think that everyone who worships on Sunday are antichrists.

Attend the average church these days and you can expect to hear a sermonette from some Caspar Milquetoast minister who couldn't preach his way out of a wet paper-bag. It's sad and a shame. The great need of the hour is PREACHING PREACHERS!!! I did not write this article to be unkind. Nor am I trying to convince Christian believers to quit their churches. MAKE YOUR CHURCH BETTER! Pray for your pastor and ask God to work in his heart. Remember, there are no perfect pastors, Christians or churches. I'm not trying to stir-up trouble; but rather, I'm trying to prepare believers for the time when you must stand face-to-face with your dear Savior. God didn't save you to BE GOOD, He saved you to DO GOOD. What are you doing for God?

I will say this though... If your church is teaching the heresy of Lordship Salvation, or are using the modern corrupted Bible versions, GET OUT IMMEDIATELY!!! You are being poisoned with the satanic new Bible versions. These are the two deal-breakers! I wouldn't step foot into any church that doesn't use ONLY the trustworthy King James Bible!!! Nor would I stay 5 minutes in any hellhole so-called “church” that teaches a person must turn away from sinful living as a requirement to be saved. That is not what repentance means in the Bible. Other false prophets teach that you're not saved unless your life has changed, which is another Gospel (2nd Corinthians 11:3-4).

Here is an excellent quote from the mighty man of God, Pastor Lee Roberson (1909-2007), concerning eternal punishment. ...

“Somebody says, 'The thought of Hell is so horrible.' Well, my friend, so is cancer, so is tuberculosis, so is the grave. Someone said, 'I believe sin ought to be punished, but not for eternity.' That's your view, not God's.

Again another says, 'I don't believe in the wrath of God.' Then you don't believe your Bible. The Bible says the wrath of God abideth on the one who doesn't believe in Jesus Christ. He is lost forever.

Now, these things come to us out of the Word of God. The teaching of eternal punishment should give us a hatred for sin. We ought to hate sin. The reason we have changed so much in this day in all of our churches is that we are not hearing much on this subject. Therefore, we endorse sin. We engage in sin. We camouflage the sin in our lives and allow things to go by, instead of hating sin as God wants us to hate sin . . .

The teaching of eternal punishment should give us a passion for the souls of men.” [emphasis added]

America's Churches Are Ignorantly Supporting The New World Order

A sure sign of death in our churches today is the Christian evangelical support of Godless U.S. Presidents who are known occult members, homosexuals, liars, fraudsters, boozers, drug-traffickers, draft-dodgers, traitors, adulterers and deceivers. Why Do America's Churches Support Tyranny? The following true words are from Dr. Texe Marrs' excellent book, “CONSPIRACY WORLD: A TRUTHTELLER'S COMPENDIUM OF EYE-OPENING REVELATIONS AND FORBIDDEN KNOWLEDGE” ...

Many insiders snicker and laugh ha, ha, ha, at brain-dead Christian evangelicals who actually believe that George W. [Bush] is a God-fearing heterosexual, Born-again Christian. As David Kuo, former top White House adviser in the Bush Administration, reveals in his new book, “Tempting Fate,” the Bush White House team sneers and jokes about the evangelicals so easily deceived by the President. Kuo presents evidence that the Bush people view Christian evangelical leaders and their flocks as ridiculous, silly, nuts, even insane. To the Bush people, Christianity is a farce and Christians are easily duped idiots.

SOURCE: Dr. Texe Marrs, “CONSPIRACY WORLD: A TRUTHTELLER'S COMPENDIUM OF EYE-OPENING REVELATIONS AND FORBIDDEN KNOWLEDGE” (Volume 1, p. 147; copyright 2010)

The reason why most Christian evangelicals are so easily deceived is because they blindly follow an apostate pastor, instead of seeking the truth for themselves. Most pastors share the woeful and harmful arrogance of doctors. You can't tell them anything and they greatly resent being directed on how to do their job. They literally think they know-it-all compared to those who trust them. My advice is to do your own homework and research the New World Order. Listen to Infowars.com and other alternative news sources. Good luck finding any Christian news sources that expose the New World Order (NWO), which includes NWO stooges like Billy Graham, Joel Osteen and Rick Warren. If your church supports these apostates, your church is dead!

Is the occult in your church? The whole reason why the Southern Baptist Convention is dead is because 37% of the U.S. Freemasonry membership are Southern Baptists. In Freemasonry, lodges strictly prohibit praying “in Jesus' name.” Freemasonry is a sex-perverted phallic-worshipping, Luciferian-worshipping cult!

AUTOPSY: An examination and dissection of a dead body to determine cause of death or the changes produced by disease.

What is causing our churches to die? There are many things that are ruining our churches: corrupt Bible versions like the New International Version (NIV), ecumenism which seeks to unite by error instead of dividing over truth, hen-pecked ministers who allow committees to censor their preaching, covetous pastors who prioritize financial security over speaking the truth, worldliness in the Church, the satanic doctrine of Zionism which worships the Jews and Israel, backslidden pastors who don't teach Biblical doctrine, pastors who prioritize music programs over preaching the Word of God, Christian schools elevated above the church, soul-winning is not taught and done, feminism in our churches which influences women to wear pants and divorce, formalism, failure to pray and rely upon the Holy Spirit to build the Church, et cetera.

Our churches are dying because our pastors are dying! Ministers are dime-a-dozen these days, but genuine men of God who PREACH are hard to find. God give us some John the Baptists, Billy Sundays and Jack Hyles' who were willing to fight until the utmost for their cause!

“It is not persecution of the church in China that I fear. The church has always been able to weather persecution. My fear is love of money in the church.” —Chinese pastor

Is Your Church Growing In Grace Or Swelling From Rot?

Today I listened to Brother Kidd's awesome MP3 sermon titled, “IN THE LAST DAYS.” In the preceding sermon, Brother Kidd shares that he had begun working as a mortician in 1974. Dr. Kidd explains that anything dead “swells” (as it rots from the inside out). He points out that most of our large churches today aren't growing; but rather, they are rotting, swelling, dead corpses! That's exactly what Billy Sunday warned us about! Our churches have rigor mortis, rotting from the inside out!

In the old days of America, Church was the most important thing, and everyone centered their life around the Church. But today church is only a part of what we do, a side-attraction, take-it-or-leave-it, a novelty. Our Bible-preaching churches are dying. The parking-lots are empty. Sadly, the rotting corpses of DEAD churches are swelling, packing the house with apostates. Big mega-churches like Hillsong are nothing but worldly Rock music concerts. There is no preaching. Some sad excuse for a minister gets up, looking like Shirley Temple, delivering his sermonette that has no substance, nothing for the listener to grab onto, a dead message of love without hate, truth without exposing heresy, unity without separation, and cooperation without standards.

Our Mixed Up Fundamental Christianity

(MP3 sermon by Pastor Jack Hyles)

Increasing attendance is not a sign of spiritual groweth in a church. Is your church growing or swelling? Today's churches are filled with liberals who don't believe that the Bible is the Word of God. They claim that only the originals are inspired and without error. They criticize the holy King James Bible, while praising the unholy homosexual-produced New International Version (NIV). Our churches are filled with corruption, a bunch of shameful liberals who won't take a stand or preach against sin. Today's churches are mere social clubs. These monstrosities are swelling! The great need of the hour is PREACHING PREACHERS! God save us from these retarded inter-denominational churches with “his” and “her” pastors.

There's nothing worse than hearing a pastor say that he doesn't know how to preach! Well learn! Get mad about something! Blurt it out if you have to, stutter it if you must, BUT PREACH!!! Good night man, people need to hear the truth! Our church congregations are starving! I spoke with a church deacon about his salvation and could tell he had issues with it. I expounded him with the Scriptures and my own personal testimony. He was delighted and asked, “Why don't they teach those things from the pulpit?” The sad truth is that church leaders just don't care. Pastors find their comfort zone and live there, failing to discern the needs of their congregation. You can't just preach your favorite part of the Bible and neglect the rest of God's Word.

3,000 Converts Baptized In One Day!

(beware of anyone who criticizes easy-believism and immediate baptism)

A Dead Church Has A Dead Pastor

A genuine man of God will NOT “go along to get along” in an apostate situation. He will not preach without proclaiming the truth! Too many pastors know the truth, but are afraid to speak it for fear of losing financial support. Perhaps more people have gone to Hell, and churches have died, because of the love of money (or fear of losing it, which effectively has the same consequences on a ministry) than anything else.

Jesus asked the apostle Peter three times if he loved (Greek: agape) Him. Three times Peter answered “Yes, I do love (Greek: phileo) You.” Jesus was asking if Peter unconditionally loved Him, but Peter kept responding that he was fond of the Lord. John 21:17, “He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.” Do you think that the Lord wants Christian leaders today in 2014 to continue feeding His sheep (i.e., believers in the faith)? Yes, yes, yes, of course! This is part of The Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20), that is, to mentor new converts in the Lord, literally indoctrinating them with the things of Jesus Christ.

So why aren't most pastors feeding the Lord's flock. I oftentimes refer to a pastor's congregation as his “flock,” but in actuality IT IS THE LORD'S FLOCK if they are born-again Christians. Pastors have a duty to feed God's children, pointing them continually to the Word of God. The greatest thing that a pastor can ever do for his congregation is to continually uplift the deity of Jesus Christ and the inspiration of the King James Bible. If your people aren't leaving church with a burning desire to get into the holy Bible, then you aren't uplifting the Word of God as you should. Young people should be taught to sing Bible verse songs. The King James Bible should be quoted, preached, memorized, and the importance of abiding in the Word should continually be emphasized (John 15:1-5). In a dead church, the Word of God is passively present, but it is not praised and practiced as it should. Do you realize Psalms 138:2 says that God magnifies His Word above all His name? It's true!

And by the way, again, a sure sign of a dead church is that you'll never hear any preaching about Hell. It is a pastor's duty to warn his flock about the literal place called Hell, that burns with literal fire, and lasts for a literal eternity. It is every minister's duty to teach his flock to warn others that Hell burns with fire. If you truly love others, and Jesus Christ above all else, then you will be compelled to preach the truth about Hell. All Christ-rejecting sinners will spend eternity in the Lake of Fire being punished by God (2nd Thessalonians 1:8-9; Revelation 20:11-15; 21:8). Do we really believe in a literal, burning, Hell?

You wouldn't think so from visiting most churches today. A USA TODAY article reveals that only 59% of Americans believe in a literal Hell; even worse, much worse, two large groups of pastors at a recent BEESON PASTOR'S SCHOOL acknowledged that NOT ONE OF THEM had preached a sermon on Hell to their congregations. It is a shame and a sin!!! Every Christian believer ought to warn lost sinners of the wrath to come in Hell (Romans 5:9). Luke 3:7b, “O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?”

The Bible has more to say about Hell than Heaven; yet ironically, according to the USA TODAY poll I just shared with you, 74% of Americans believe in Heaven, but only 59% believe in Hell. You can choose to believe that 2 + 2 = 5 if you want, but you'd be WRONG! There is a literal place called Hell that burns with fire and brimstone, where all Christ-rejecting sinners who die in their unbelief will spend eternity in loneliness, regret, weeping, pain and torment. Is that where you want to spend eternity? Shame on today's pastors who remain eerily silent on the matter of Hell. This article is meant to afflict the comfortable. You proud pastors remain silent, wanting to avoid offending anyone, letting the unsaved world go to Hell forever. Oh, how the tears will flow at The Judgment Seat Of Christ, when believers are held accountable, facing the terror of the Lord (2nd Corinthians 5:11).

Christian men are always preaching... by holy sermons in the pulpit, and by holy lives out of it!

The Pulpit Of This Day Is Weak In Praying

You'll seldom hear mention of the need for Holy Spirit power in today's apostate churches. It appears that most churches have abandoned the Biblical truth of the reality, need and importance of the power of the Holy Spirit in all that we do. Jesus plainly said in John 15:5 that without Him “YE CAN DO NOTHING”! You may accomplish great things in the eyes of man and the world, but it won't matter one hill of beans to Heaven's view unless the Holy Spirit is working THROUGH YOU!!! (Galatians 2:20; Zechariah 4:6). Please read the excellent life-changing book by Dr. Jack Hyles titled, “MEET THE HOLY SPIRIT”

The following excellent words are by E.M. Bounds from his timeless book, “POWER THROUGH PRAYER.” ...

The sermon cannot rise in its life-giving forces above the man. Dead men give out dead sermons, and dead sermons kill. Everything depends on the spiritual character of the preacher. ...

The preacher's sharpest and strongest preaching should be to himself. His most difficult, delicate, laborious, and thorough work must be with himself. The training of the twelve was the great, difficult, and enduring work of Christ. Preachers are not sermon makers, but men makers and saint makers, and he only is well-trained for this business who has made himself a man and a saint. It is not great talents nor great learning nor great preachers that God needs, but men great in holiness, great in faith, great in love, great in fidelity, great for God -- men always preaching by holy sermons in the pulpit, by holy lives out of it. These can mold a generation for God.

After this order, the early Christians were formed. Men they were of solid mold, preachers after the heavenly type — heroic, stalwart, soldierly, saintly. Preaching with them meant self-denying, self-crucifying, serious, toilsome, martyr business. They applied themselves to it in a way that told on their generation, and formed in its womb a generation yet unborn for God. The preaching man is to be the praying man. Prayer is the preacher's mightiest weapon. An almighty force in itself, it gives life and force to all.

The real sermon is made in the closet. The man — God's man -- is made in the closet. His life and his profoundest convictions were born in his secret communion with God. The burdened and tearful agony of his spirit, his weightiest and sweetest messages were got when alone with God. Prayer makes the man; prayer makes the preacher; prayer makes the pastor.

The pulpit of this day is weak in praying. The pride of learning is against the dependent humility of prayer. Prayer is with the pulpit too often only official — a performance for the routine of service. Prayer is not to the modern pulpit the mighty force it was in Paul's life or Paul's ministry. Every preacher who does not make prayer a mighty factor in his own life and ministry is weak as a factor in God's work and is powerless to project God's cause in this world.

SOURCE: Power Through Prayer text by E.M. Bounds

What a great truth! ... “Prayer makes the man; prayer makes the preacher; prayer makes the pastor.”

We Are Soldiers For Christ, And Soldiers Fight!

A preacher should preach and teach about all spiritual subjects, including the New World Order. If you don't, your church congregation will be spiritually hungry, frustrated, confused and dead. It seems that today's churches are more interested in paint ball games, fireworks, jet skis and big inflatable toys than they are indoctrinating our youth with the inerrant, perfect, infallible, preserved, inspired, Words of God. We have that Book in the KING JAMES BIBLE!!! The last I checked, the Bible teaches that WE ARE AT WAR AS SOLDIERS FOR CHRIST. 2nd Timothy 2:3, “Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.”

Soldiers fight. That's what they are trained to do. How are we training our youth today? I see Independent Baptist churches where the teenagers are frustrated, starving for something real, hungry for a challenge. Teenagers love to have the truth! Youth are extremely impressionable and vulnerable to either good and evil. Tragically, our youth are surrounded by evil, perversion and falsehoods everywhere they turn. I read something many years ago that stuck in my mind, from the book “POWER THROUGH PRAYER” by E.M. Bounds, that is, “A church congregation cannot rise above the spirituality of the clergy.”

IN THE LAST DAYS
(MP3 sermon by Evangelist Phil Kidd)

Let's continue with an autopsy of a dead church. We find that cantatas and orchestras replace Bible-preaching. What a sad thing! I'll never understand why any so-called “man of God,” who is responsible for a church congregation, will prioritize a singing cantata over the preaching of God's Word. As a young boy, Dr. Jack Hyles (1926-2001) recalls the only time that his unsaved father came to church. Instead of preaching, the church had a Christmas cantata. No Gospel was preached. In 1950 Jack Hyles' father died in his sins and went to Hell. Pastor Hyles vowed to God that he would NEVER fail to give an invitation to receive Jesus Christ at any public church service. You never know who's listening.

“ The world's greatest need is preaching preachers. The Gospel is our emancipation proclamation: let's take it to the slaves of sin.” —Evangelist Lester Roloff

An autopsy of a dead church reveals cancelled church services on Christmas. They cancel the evening service for New Years Eve. They also cancel church for Easter. In fact, the dead church cancels church on a whim, removing the church services on all holidays, music specials and school functions. Of course, preaching is cancelled for the Lord's Supper. The dead church functions as a Christian school with a church, instead of a church with a Christian school.

I agree with Dr. Hyles... I'd rather have one church than seven Christian schools! Jesus promised divine perpetuity to THE CHURCH, not to the Christian school (Matthew 16:18). And by the way, Jesus is the only FOUNDATION (1st Corinthians 3:11), not Peter, upon which the Church is built. So that means the Roman Catholic Church is of the Devil, because they choose Peter as their foundation instead of Jesus Christ. Peter is nothing!!!

When a church turns against truth, God leaves that church and it is DEAD. It becomes nothing but a cemetery. Today's preacher's seminaries are actually preacher's cemeteries! Jude called them “TWICE DEAD, PLUCKED UP BY THE ROOTS”!!! Jude 1:12, “These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots.” You can run over a plant with a mower and it'll grow again, but once you pluck up the roots it won't grow back. There are churches springing up all over the place today, but they are dead, having no roots. The Holy Spirit is not present. The inspired Word of God is not accurately taught. Another Jesus, another spirit and another gospel are wickedly being taught (2nd Corinthians 11:3-4). Jude 16 said these apostates would “speak swelling words.” Joel Osteen's swelling words are hindering the cause of Christ.

“The most dangerous revolutions are not those which tear down everything, and cause the streets to run with blood, but those which leave everything standing, while cunningly emptying it of any significance.” —Soren Kierkegaard (1813-1855)

Does not the preceding quote describe our churches today? Today's milquetoast preaching lacks any real substance. There's hardly anything to grab onto.

Cotton Candy Religion
(It's big and beautiful until you sink your teeth into it, then it dissolves into nothing!)

Crucified Ladies Don't Wear Pants

I'd expect Christian women to wear pants; but if you've been crucified with Christ as a believer (Galatians 2:20), then you won't wear pants. For an excellent sermon on this subject, please listen to Pastor Jack Hyles' sermon titled, “THE SAVED, CRUCIFIED, RISEN AND RESURRECTED LIFE.”

What have I missed so far in our autopsy? We've identified that women wear pants in dead churches. By the way, the problem in such churches is a lack of Bible-preaching against sin from the pulpit. May I say, preaching modesty from the pulpit is not “old school” (as some call it), it is right. Marriage is not the old-fashioned way, it is the right way! A woman who wore pants was considered a prostitute in the 1890's. God hasn't changed (Malachi 3:6; Hebrews 13:8), the sinful world has changed. THE UNCHANGING CHURCH IN A CHANGING WORLD (a great MP3 sermon by Dr. Harold Sightler). Just because most women are wearing men's clothing in 2014 doesn't mean that it is either acceptable or right.

Deuteronomy 22:5 forbids cross-dressing between men and women. That is not mere ceremonial law as some foolish pastors claim; it is a moral law from God almighty. If both bathroom signs had a picture of pants, it would cause utter confusion. Any child knows that men are supposed to wear pants. Ladies wear dresses. It is wrong for women to wear pants! The problem of immodesty in our churches didn't happen overnight. America's pastors became cowards, hen-pecked, going along to get along; and sadly, avoiding preaching against his own wife who wears pants. I have been hated by many Christians, simply because I teach that the Bible says women should dress modestly like ladies (1st Timothy 2:9).

Satan is deliberately confusing today's youth about their gender. I read an interview in 2013 where singer Amy Grant talks about discovering her own sexuality. That is homosexual talk. Normal people don't need to discover their sexuality. Amy Grant is part of the New World Order, an apostate, no hero, and ought to be rebuked as a shameful mentor for our youth.

(it's not God's love to accept the homosexual agenda)

GLAAD Honors Amy Grant For Sinfully Praising LGBT Fans

(Christians must preach against sin!)

Singer Amy Grant Attempts To Use God's Grace As Basis For Accepting Homosexual Community

The old-time religion is so offensive nowadays that few pastors are willing to go against the worldly crowd. OFFEND THEM! If you have to bring the world into the Church to boost attendance, then you're only going to attract worldly people. As the Church becomes more worldly, so also is the world becoming more churchy. 1st Peter 4:17, “For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?”

Southern Baptist Church Apostasy

Not too long ago I visited a Southern Baptist Church. There was a band complete with drums, electric guitar and hand cymbals. The congregation were swaying their hands back-n-forth in the air. Most of the women were wearing pants. They were using a corrupt modern version of the Bible. The minister said that he had a degree in psychology and theology. It's not a sin for a pastor to have a degree in secular psychology, but the psycho-heresy (Bible truth + secular psychology) that has replaced Bible-preaching in today's church pulpits is demonic. We need the undiluted Word of God!!!

No public invitation was given at the end of the sermonette. The lyrics to the music were ridiculously lame... praise, praise, praise... He is all, He is all, He is all... blah, blah, blah! The minister kept mentioning apostates like Rick Warren, Billy Graham, Pat Robertson and Joel Osteen (all his mentors). I couldn't get out of there fast enough! Not surprisingly, 37% of the U.S. Freemasonry membership is comprised of Southern Baptists. Freemasonry will kill a church faster than cyanide poisoning. You might as well invite Lucifer to be your pastor when you allow Freemasons to lead the church.

God deliver us from this sissified generation of Caspar Milquetoast, pink-tea-and-lemonade, soft-soapin', sissy-britches-wearing, ear-ticklin', back-scratchin', yellowbellied, Clark Kent, pantywaist, compromising, pussyfootin', unmanly, lazy-boy preachers who can't preach their way out of a paperbag! God give us some leather-lunged, barn-stormin', window-rattlin', shingle-pullin', truth-loving, uncompromising, manly, hell-fire and damnation PREACHERS!!! 

America needs PREACHING PREACHERS!!! The reason why men don't preach anymore is because they're being mentored by apostates, false teachers, heretics, sissies and old fuddy-duddy professors. JUST GIVE ME THE KING JAMES BIBLE!!! God is the preacher's mentor! We'd have a lot more TRUE WORSHIPPERS in America if we had a lot more TRUE BIBLES, TRUE CHRISTIANS, TRUE CHURCHES and TRUE PREACHERS!!!

Heresy is Creeping into Fundamentalist Baptist Churches By the Hour!

Few Christians are aware of the satanic origin of many of the false doctrines being taught in our churches today: The Young Earth heresy began with the Seventh-Day Adventism religious cult. See: The Fallacies Of A Young Earth Series (by Dr. Max D. Younce).

A heresy that has crept into our churches is called “Lordship Salvation,” which has its origins in the errant Roman Catholic understand of repentance as penance. The new corrupt plan of salvation in today's churches is human effort + Christ's partial payment. Billy Graham teaches this heresy. The Bible teaches that Christ paid it all on the cross. We are saved by completely resting in Jesus Christ. You receive Jesus as your Savior to be saved, not your Lord or King.
Another heresy infecting churches today is “Zionism” which worships Jews and Israel instead of the God of Israel, which has its origin in the satanic cults of Judaism and Freemasonry. Zionism is of the Devil.

The heresy of a Post-tribulation Rapture has corrupted many believer's understanding of Biblical prophecy. Those who deny that the Rapture can happen at any time are boldly opposing the plain teaching of the Lord that He is coming unannounced by surprise. Biblically, Christians ought to be on their toes looking for Christ's imminent return. The Bible teaches a Pre-tribulation Rapture!

An autopsy of a dead church determines cause of death as using modern corrupted Bible versions. Nothing will kill a church faster than taking away the authoritative King James Bible, and replacing it with a watered-down imposter. Modern Bibles remove the word Godhead from Acts 17:29, Romans 1:20 and Colossians 2:9. Jesus is no longer the only “begotten” Son of God in John 3:16 of the perverted modern Bibles. In Philippians 2:6 of the modern corrupt Bibles, Jesus is no longer equal with the Father. Burn your modern corrupt Bibles! Go get you a trustworthy King James Bible!!! Love it. Cherish it. Memorize it. Study it. Read it. Search it. Preach it!

Not too long ago I gave away a few copies of Michael Patrick Bowen's excellent book titled, “I NEVER KNEW YOU” (.pdf file). I gave them to some Christian leaders in a Baptist church. You wouldn't have thought I was a Communist during the Cold War. The book greatly offended them. To no surprise these leaders love, follow and admire Billy Graham. The book exposes the false plan of salvation of Billy Graham and his son Franklin Graham. I seriously am concerned about the salvation of any Christian who is offended by a book that teaches salvation by simple childlike faith in Christ. Billy Graham teaches that to be saved, a person MUST count the cost and pay the price. That is “another Gospel” which the Bible does NOT teach (2nd Corinthians 11:3-4).

The Holy Spirit Is The Life Of A Church

The Holy Spirit ALWAYS works through the inspired Word of God. The holy Bible is our only authority! False prophets do not love with God's unconditional love. How can they, for they are not saved and do not have the Holy Spirit abiding in them (Romans 8:9; 1st John 4:13). A church that uses corrupted modern versions like the New International Version (NIV) is a dying church! America's churches are dying!!!

Oh, how we need revival in our churches. Oh, how we need some evangelists to afflict the comforted, and godly pastors to comfort the afflicted. Every church desperately needs revivals a couple times a year. The easiest place in the world to backslide is Bible college, because you become accustomed to hearing the preaching every day. The second easiest place to backslide is church. That's why we need revivals. THE SPIRIT'S ABIDING (MP3, Dr. Hyles; all is vain unless the Spirit of the Holy One comes down)!

It's in our sinful human nature to backslide. Most of the time we don't realize that we're backsliding, until one day we come to our senses and realize that we were “hardened through the deceitfulness of sin” (Hebrews 3:13). The deceitfulness of sin is that with each downward slide, it becomes the new norm and we adjust to it. Our hard becomes calloused to sin. Over time you can slide way down spiritually, committing sins that you never imagined you'd commit. This is why the Illuminati are dehumanizing American culture through music, magazines, internet, television, movies and video games.

For example: Justin Timberlake sang a song on Saturday Night Live for Mother's Day 2009 called Motherlover with the shameful lyrics: “We should f--k each other's mothers,” “I can't wait until I f--k your mother!,” “It'll be an honour to become your stepfather.” This is Justin Timberlake's Satanic music!!! The song's video features Justin Timberlake, Andy Samberg, Susan Sarandon and Patricia Clarkson. Woe unto the United States!!! The vile song was actually nominated for an 2009 Emmy for “Best Original Music and Lyrics.” I hope you clearly see that the Illuminati is trying to subvert American culture with Satanism, sexual perversion and violence, dehumanizing man who is created in God's image.

We have become a culture of death. We've slaughtered 65,464,760 children by abortion! It was recently reported that 15,000 aborted babies from Canada were burned to fuel homes in Oregon, USA. Bodies Of Aborted Babies Burned To Power Homes In Oregon (15,500 humans burned as fuel). Life has become worthless to us. The autopsy of a dead church reveals a stiff heart. A corpse's heart is indifferent, unmovable and has no warmth. You don't have to be dead to have a calloused heart, but what's the difference? Whether you're dead or alive, it's the same if your heart cannot be touched by God's Word. Luke 24:25, “Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken.”

Get into the habit of praying for the power of the Holy Spirit in all that you do. Get into the habit of giving the Holy Spirit credit for everything accomplished. Jesus said that without Him we “CAN DO NOTHING” (John 15:5). Zechariah 4:6 teaches that it is not by might, nor by power, but by the power of the Holy Spirit. A sign of a dead church is when things are being done in human strength and effort instead of praying for the Holy Spirit to work. Always give God all the glory!

Formalism, Worldliness And No Preaching

A sure sign of a dead church is formalism. The Roman Catholic Church is not a true church at all; but rather, a satanic religious cult. Mormonism is a demonic sex-perverted cult, which worships the same god as Freemasonry, that is, Lucifer. Freemasons are phallic-worshippers, evidenced by the Washington Monument (obelisk). Jehovah's Witnesses are a religious cult from Hell.

These are not true Biblical churches patterned after the churches in the New Testament. Formalism attempts to worship God with rituals, manmade traditions and ceremonies. Jesus told the Samaritan woman in John 4:24 that God the Father desires to be worshipped in spirit and in truth. The Word of God is truth (John 17:17). Every born-again Christian has the Holy Spirit of God living in their body (Romans 8:9).

I've visited numerous Roman Catholic church services, and I could feel the deadness. The Holy Spirit was not present, except in my body as a true believer. The people around me were chanting a bunch of dead prayers which they had memorized. In sharp contrast, we pray to God as true believers in spirit from our soul, and not with vain repetitions as Catholics do. Chanting some dead prayer from a so-called “prayer book” is not genuine prayer. An autopsy of a dead church reveals vain repetitions, religious chants and lifeless memorized prayers from a book. God desires fresh prayers from our living heart, and not some religious mumbo-jumbo from a manmade catechism or other manmade book.

You'll never hear any Bible-preaching in a Catholic church! Instead, they teach the manmade traditions of the Vatican. There are no song books in the pews of a Catholic church. There are no Bibles in the pews. It's all canned religion. What a dead place! Like KFC restaurant, no one does religion like the Catholic Church. From the cradle-to-the-casket, Roman Catholicism offers a complete religious package for you, but then the judgment (Hebrews 9:27). Religion is a road to Hell. Religion wants to fit us with glasses, but the Lord wants to open our eyes. Religion is man trying to reach God through human effort, but Christianity is God trying to reach man through the sacrifice on the cross of His only begotten Son Jesus Christ. Salvation is NOT found in any religion; but rather, in a person—the Lord Jesus Christ! Christ died, that's history; Christ died for me, that's salvation!

Conformity and culture are paths to destruction. Praise God for the uncouth, offensive ruggedness, manly roughness of John the Baptist. Evangelist Billy Sunday used to throw chairs, climb on top of his pulpit, swing his fists in the air at the Devil and run back and forth across the platform. How does that compare today to the stuff-shirt, dry, formalistic, deadbeat minister who puts his audience to sleep. BORING!!! I've almost got up and walked out on some dry ministers. I heard a dry minister speak last year. He was boring and unable to get to any kind of point. The kids were playing video games. Mom was Googling.

The man sure didn't know anything about preaching! Brother, you might not like my preaching if I came to your church, but you wouldn't fall asleep I guarantee you!!! I'd speak from my heart, no need for a performance. There's nothing worse than a preacher who's putting on a performance. People can quickly discern if a man is just trying to impress the audience, or if he truly has something important to say that he believes in. I never try to impress anyone with my articles (you can tell I'm sure...lol). If I have something to say, I SAY IT!!! No man of God who is unwilling to speak the truth has any right standing behind any pulpit! I like what General George Patton said: “Either lead me, follow me, or get out of my way!”

Let's just be honest, the average pastor is afraid to take a stand, fearful of losing members. The irony is that the parking lot is empty at many of these churches. You can literally feel when a church congregation is starving for doctrine, hungry for preaching and dying for truth. Many churches preach a theme of love, love, love, but you'll never hear a word against sin, or about the awfulness of Hell, or about false Bibles, or about the New World Order, or about modesty, et cetera. Why should people come to church if there's nothing worth hearing? Many people still come, but they are as frustrated as can be. A happy church is a spiritually fed church. A sad church is a doctrinally starving church.

“Sometimes you may leave here and say, 'I wonder what he's mad about?' I'm not mad about anything, I just know one thing—whatever a preacher quits preaching on, is what his church will fill up with!” ~Pastor Phil Kidd, a quote from the needful sermon “I AM Ashamed”

Ten Ways to Hurt And Cause Trouble in Your Church

Here's some ways to ruin your church:

1. Focus on your desires only and not the needs of the church.
2. Listen to every criticism your hear. Gossip and rumors can be effective to ruin a church.
3. Focus on your pastor's weaknesses and not his strengths.
4. Speak the truth and practice love, but never combine the two.
5. Store grievances for future use.
6. Forgive only those who ask you, and only if they deserve it. Place conditions on your forgiveness.
7. Hide your own sins behind a harsh attitude. Denounce others for sins that you secretly struggle with.
8. Use prayer to unite malcontents and spread inappropriate information and leave a questionable impression.
9. Do whatever you have to do to win. It doesn't matter who you hurt, just so long as you get your way.
10. Tell others that you are on a mission from God and it's your job to straighten everybody out in their Christian life.

SOURCE: Pastor Danny Castle, from the awesome sermon titled, “100% WILLING”

“It doesn't even matter who's right, it's what's right that's important!” —Pastor Danny Castle, from the sermon “100% WILLING”

Please don't misunderstand, there are no perfect churches. The Lord had something negative to say about the seven churches of Asia Minor in Revelation. I wrote this article to bring attention to the apostasy which has crept into our churches and is now the new norm. 'Which New Is Right?' (Dr. Hyles, MP3; the Devil ruins churches with cantatas, no services, immodesty, gossip, pride, et cetera). It's the pastor's duty to lead the flock.

You'd be surprised how many churches have pulpit committees that deliberately censor the preacher, forbidding him from stepping on toes, not allowing him to preach against sin, forbidding him from calling false religion by name, et cetera. So many pastors are cowards behind the pulpit! NO ONE will ever mess with my preaching! My preaching is none of my business either, because only God tells me what to preach! I wouldn't give you a red penny for any so-called “preacher” who is hen-pecked, prohibited from rocking-the-boat and plucking-the-feathers of his congregation.

There's a “holy” Spirit and a “holy” Bible, but there is no “holy” church. All churches have problems, because all people have problems. Only God can produce godliness in an ungodly world. A particular church is only going to be as “holy” as its individual Christian members walk with God, yielding to the Holy Spirit. The Bible doesn't command churches to be holy; but rather, God commands each individual believer to be holy, as God is holy. 1st Peter 1:16, “Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.”

Our churches sing, “Holy! Holy! Holy!” while the women wear skintight, sensual, sexy, blue-jeans and painted-on slacks. Holy? Our churches sing, “Holy! Holy! Holy!” while the teaching of doctrine is neglected, and a counterfeit plan of salvation is preached. God pity the pastor who hardly ever takes a stand against sin and evil. Shame on the pastor who never warns about coming judgment in Hell, fire and damnation. Whatever we sow, that shall we also reap (Galatians 6:7). The Lord cannot build His Church, if the pastor is not preaching the truth!

Is your church dead? What would an autopsy show if your church was dissected? Is the truth being preached? Are sinners being warned about God's imminent judgment against the ungodly, suffering the vengeance of God in the fires of Hell (2nd Thessalonians 1:8-9)? Are the doctrines of the Word of God being taught? Does your church cancel services regularly, or replace the preaching with music programs and cantatas? Is the Christian school more popular than the church? Do the women in your church wear skin-tight jeans and slacks? Does the pastor teach modesty from the pulpit? Does the pastor regularly teach, pray and rely upon the power of the Holy Spirit to do God's work through the church?

Does the pastor feed his flock, or stick you in front of a video series instead? God deliver us from religion-in-a-can these days! Even more sickening is when I see Masonic handshakes and Illuminati pyramids in the videos being shown in our Baptist churches. Freemasonry is a rotting disease, a spiritually corrupt agenda, a satanic religion, a massive deception in our churches today!!! No Christian can be right with God and belong to a Luciferian-worshipping satanic cult like Freemasonry. “The Great Architect” of Freemasonry is Satan! O Christian, please run from the evils of Freemasonry!!!

The autopsy of a dead church uncovers the spiritual venereal disease of Freemasonry, for it has infiltrated and corrupted more churches than any other evil. Freemasonry is of the Devil. Secret societies have no place in the New Testament Church. Jesus said in John 18:20, “Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing.” There are no secret societies in Christianity or Heaven.

The Sin Of Being Lukewarm!

If the shoe fits, wear it! Nearly every church today is lukewarm. God hates fence-straddling. The only thing you hit when you drive in the middle-of-the-road are skunks! I've written this article with a humble heart and the sincere prayer for God to use this article for His glory. My words mean nothing as they enter your mind, unless the Holy Spirit of God convicts your heart and changes you from within. I'm just trying to prepare you for the time when you must meet your Savior face-to-face, when you look into Jesus' eyes and have to give account for your life (Romans 14:10-12; 2nd Corinthians 5:9-11; 1st Thessalonians 4:6; James 4:12; Matthew 12:36; Proverbs 24:12). God didn't save us to BE GOOD, He saved us to DO GOOD. What are you doing for God?

My desire is not to aggravate or make anyone upset; but rather, to preach the truth about the apostate condition of today's churches, particularly our Independent Fundamental Baptist Churches (the last remaining bastion of the New Testament Church as far as I'm concerned). Show me a Methodist church with a Bus Ministry! Show me a Presbyterian church that goes soul-winning from door-to-door (Acts 20:20)!

Our churches nowadays are embracing the queer agenda. Lesbians are being ordained and called to pastor churches. It is sinful. Many churches are adopting neutral positions on homosexual rights and same-sex marriage. This is certainly a symptom of a dead church body. Every born-again Christian ought to kindly, lovingly, but firmly take a stand against the sin of homosexuality in the name of Jesus! I'm not saying that we should be gay-bashers, God forbid. I'm simply saying that we should always side with the Scriptures! There is no controversy if you believe the Bible. I am on the Lord's side in all matters!

If evangelical Christians don't uphold the truth of the Word of God, then assuredly no one else is going to do it. The world is literally dying for something real. Our churches today are so phony, dead and dried-up that it makes God vomit. This is what the Lord said in Revelation 3:15-16, “I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.”

“The worst pervert in America is the Gospel pervert!”

"Faith" Him When You Can't Feel Him

by Evangelist Lester Roloff (1914-1982)

“Oh that I knew where I might find him! that I might come even to his seat!” —Job 23:3

The thing that will reveal your faith is praying when no answer comes. That's the supreme test. I've gone over a number of chapters in the book of Job again. In one of them, Job said, "Oh that I knew where I might find Him." He was looking for God. Can you imagine? He was the best man God had and he couldn't find Him. He said "Lord, I want you to show me why you're doing this to me. We've always been on good terms and you've been my best friend. I'm not against you and am not going to turn against you, but I need an explanation and I want you to give it." But the Lord didn't pay him any attention. I imagine the Lord just kind of smiled and said, "Later on. After a while."

So finally Job said "I went forward and He wasn't there. Backward. I couldn't perceive Him. On the left hand where He doth work. I couldn't behold Him. On the right hand where He hid himself and I couldn't see him." That's all the directions isn't it? Forward, backward, left, right. He said "I couldn't get one glimpse of Him." Then he said, "But He knoweth the way that I take and when He hath tried me, He will bring me forth as gold. My feet have held His steps. His way have I kept and not declined. Neither have I gone back from the commandment of His lips. I've esteemed His words more than my necessary food." That's the secret of it right there. It was the most severe test he ever had. It wasn't when all of his ten children died. It wasn't when he lost all of his camels, oxen and sheep and goats and chickens. It wasn't when he lost all of his servants. The greatest loss was not when Mrs. Job came and said, "Just curse God and die." That wasn't his most severe test. That was just part of it.

Then three fair-weather friends came and looked at him and they didn't speak for seven days. Not one word. Finally they opened their mouths and skinned him and scalded him and scathed him and ate him up alive. But that wasn't his greatest test. Do you know what the greatest test was? You've never been there until you've reached this place, and that is when you look up to God and there's not any God. You just pray like you used to pray and there's no answer. There's no response. There's no God. There's no feeling and your faith is severely tested. But let me tell you something. You're going to have to learn to believe God when you cannot perceive God. You're going to have to learn to "faith" Him when you can't feel Him. Unless you do, you're going to be in bad shape before this thing's over with. There'll come a time when God reserves the right to cut you completely loose from Him and then see what your faith will lead you to do. "In all this, Job sinned not nor charged God foolishly."

Satan Is A Master Counterfeiter

Matthew 7:13-15, “Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.”

2nd Corinthians 11:3-4, “But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.”

Admittedly, they do seem saved, but so do Seventh-Day Adventists (Calvinists), Church of Christ (Calvinists), Lutherans (Baptismal Regeneration), Presbyterians (Calvinists) and Lordship Salvationists (Calvinists). I watched a Mormon sermon yesterday and it sounded like a Baptist church. Mormons ONLY use the King James Bible! You can verify that online. Mormons sing just like Baptists. A naïve person could easily think that Mormonism is Christianity, if they didn't understand sound doctrine from the Word of God.

I was thinking last night about counterfeit money. The goal of the counterfeiter is to make the fake money as close to authentic money as possible, to deceive people. The Devil does the same thing with religion! Satan makes false religion look, feel and sound just like genuine Christianity, so close that the person unlearned in the Scripture couldn't discern the difference, and so they are deceived and damned (Matthew 7:13-15; 2nd Corinthians 11:3-4).

I was surprised to find mainstream this website that sells counterfeit money that allegedly looks realistic. Why doesn't the government stop them? Go figure! Dear reader, I don't want you to be deceived by the Devil. God's standard for salvation is THE GOSPEL OF JOHN. John 20:31, “But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.” God authored the Gospel of John for the specific purpose of showing humanity how to have eternal life.

There is no mention in John of confessing, following, surrendering, committing, praying, calling, serving, running, turning or repenting to obtain God's free gift of eternal life. The only requirement taught is to BELIEVE ON JESUS. John 6:28-29, “When said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.”

John chapters 19 and 20 teach Christ's death on the cross, His burial and subsequent bodily physical resurrection three days later . This is THE GOSPEL (i.e., the GOOD NEWS) according to 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:” Any guilty sinner who believes (places their confidence in) this Good News is saved immediately, irrevocably and permanently. Getting saved is that simple.

Tragically, millions of false churches around the world base their counterfeit plan of damnation upon obscure passages of Scripture, while totally ignoring and contradicting the Gospel of John. As a general rule we ought never use an obscure passage of Scripture to contradict a clear one. The Gospel of John is clear, salvation is WITHOUT WORKS!!!

• Roman Catholics errantly teach that salvation requires FAITH AND WORKS.
• Calvinists errantly teach that FAITH WILL WORK.
• The Bible teaches that faith is WITHOUT WORKS (Romans 4:5).

Please dear reader, do not allow Satan and his sinister ministers to deceive you! Hell is hot, life is short and eternity is a long time!!!

The Devil is a master counterfeiter! Tragically, BILLIONS of Roman Catholics, Orthodox Catholics, Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, Lutherans, Seventh-Day Adventists, Calvinists, Church of Christ, United Methodists, Unitarian Universalists, Bahai Faith, Presbyterians, Baptists, Scientologists, Christian Science, Judaizes and other infidels have been DECEIVED by the Devil's concerning how to get to Heaven. Lordship Salvation is of the Devil. Calvinism is of the Devil. Works to be saved before, during or after salvation are of the Devil.

Today could be the last day of your life!

Have you been born-again?
