The Lukewarm Evangelical Church just before the Rapture

Series on the Modern Lukewarm Evangelical Church – No. 1

The Seven Churches of Revelation – Chapters 2-3 [1]

In the first chapter of the Revelation of Jesus Christ, while in the Spirit on the Lord’s Day, John was given a vision and instructed to write what he saw in a book and then send it to seven churches in Asia. One by one, John recorded the revelation of each of their works (good and bad) and the condition of their heart.

The seven Asian churches identified in Revelation were not the only first century Christian churches. However, they were selected by God to give a timeless and cautionary example to His people throughout the centuries to the end of the age. The works of each of the seven Asian churches revealed certain distinctive characteristics that would symbolize each of the seven subsequent periods of church history. Although each period was characterized by the principal traits of its first century counterpart, all of the sins of the Asian churches have been present in all Christian churches to varying degrees throughout the Church Age.

The messages to the Seven Churches of Asia represent seven time periods over the past 2,000 years […] Continue Reading…



Christians who suppress the truth in unrighteousness with regard to homosexuality

There are two groups trapped in the bondage of homosexuality and same-sex attraction. In the first group are those who are unwilling captives in the grip of a homosexual lifestyle or who valiantly battle against a same-sex attraction. They are drawn to the perversion of homosexuality as a drug-addicted junkie is drawn toward the needle or pill. Year after year their despair and self-hate grows as the strong hold of this perversion kills all hope of escape. The burden of their shame and guilt is immense. Satan continually accuses and demeans them with taunts of their utter worthlessness and hopelessness. This group appears to be the most willing to listen to and accept the gospel message.

In the second group are those who vigorously deny that homosexuality is a perversion and demand that their fellow citizens not only accept and affirm them but requires society to be ordered to promote their agenda through suppression of opposing voices; imposing or overturning certain laws; replacing history with fiction; denying religious freedom; denying freedom of speech; and aggressively indoctrinating children, young people, and society at large to accept their worldview. This group will be the most resistant and even hostile to […] Continue Reading…



Modern Christianity’s soft-soap message to the homosexual

Much of the American church is desperately trying to remain relevant in the rapidly deteriorating culture. Writing in 2001, Jim Cymbala warned that as the church confronts an antagonistic culture we need to take a look at what the church is doing. One of the things he observed was that the church is, “Letting the world ‘evangelize’ us without our realizing it…Instead of being a holy, powerful remnant that is consecrated and available to God (in the New Testament sense of the words), the world’s value system has invaded the church so that there’s almost no distinction between the two.”[1]

From the pulpits in America and the conversations of many Christians, the rise of the homosexual agenda has been met by the church with a soft-soap message regarding the sin of homosexuality and how the church should engage homosexuals. These anemic messages and conversations always contain an element of truth to support the lie just as Satan had done when he whispered in Eve’s ear, “Did God really say…” For those that believe God has soft-soap, tolerant view of the sin of homosexuality, those beliefs will be quickly dispelled by a reading of the strong words of Paul in his […] Continue Reading…



The deadly hypocrisy of Black Lives Matter

“To destroy a people, you must first sever their roots.”[1]
The above quote is from one of the twentieth century’s greatest truth tellers—Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn (1918-2008). Born in Russia, Solzhenitsyn studied mathematics, philosophy, literature, and history at the university level. He was thrice decorated for personal heroism as a Russian Army Officer during the fight against the Nazis in World War II. In 1945 he was arrested for criticizing Stalin in private correspondence and sentenced to an eight-year term in a labor camp. From that experience he wrote One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich which was published in 1962, the first of many books. In 1970 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. In 1974, he was stripped of his citizenship and expelled from the Soviet Union whereupon he moved to Vermont with his wife and four sons.[2]

I have taken time to briefly describe Solzhenitsyn’s background because his experiences and quiet words in defense of truth from such a man speaks far louder than the din of lies shouted by Black Lives Matter and their toadies including spineless politicians, the corrupt media, universities in name only, complicit mega-corporation billionaires, ranting Hollywood leftists, self-proclaimed “intellectuals,” and many corrupt voices/false […] Continue Reading…



Andy Stanley is a false teacher – Part II

How should Christians respond to Andy Stanley and other false teachers?

Before we begin Part II, the manner in which this writer and others are publicly and forcefully challenging Andy Stanley and his false teachings should be examined. Many Christians disagree with these actions and quickly quote Matthew 18:15-17 as the proper biblical way by which Christians ought to deal with such presumed errors.

If your brother or sister sins, go and point out their fault, just between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them over. But if they will not listen, take one or two others along, so that “every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.” If they still refuse to listen, tell it to the church; and if they refuse to listen even to the church, treat them as you would a pagan or a tax collector. [Matthew 18:15-17. NIV]

Matthew never meant these verses to be used in addressing and dealing with false teachers. First, these verses deal with fellow disciples (brothers and sisters in Christ). Second, these verses deal with personal offences, grievances, or misunderstandings between two Christians. Neither applies when dealing with false teachers.

False […] Continue Reading…
