Perspective exist to bring about an awareness and discernment among
those who have been "born again" about the dangers of various anti
Biblical movements that have invaded the church, thus enabling a more
effective evangelistic ministry to those caught in the clutches of these
movements. (Jude 1:22-23)
The prophetic scriptures are
vividly clear that spiritual deception would be the hallmark within
the church as we approach the end of the church age (Matt 24:4-5,
2Pet 2:1-2,
1Tim 4:1,
Acts 20:26-31),
therefore it is out of this revelation that the need for spiritual
discernment and a contending for the faith (Jude
1:3-4)
will be called to the fore-front among those who are born-again.
It is time for God’s true pastors and teachers to
sound the warning as never before. There needs to be a renewed and
intensified focus in the efforts of teaching and completely
equipping the saints (Eph 4:12)
by employing sound hermeneutics in proclaiming the whole counsel of
God, utilizing every ministry within the church as a conduit for
teaching Biblical truth.
The teaching of the scriptures needs to have
discernment and apologetics integrated in its presentation.
Discernment and contending for the faith is not an option but a
necessity that must be diligently applied during this age
of darkness and deception.

True Biblical
preaching against sin and for
righteousness is woefully absent in many
"churches" these days. As a result, it
has led members to not love their
neighbor as themselves and love God with
all their heart, mind, and strength, but
instead become narcisstic and self
seeking and call this love; Biblical
preaching is ordained by God for a
reason, and it is so His elect will do
the will of God which is believing in
Jesus and keeping His word. Jesus said:
"If anyone loves me, he will keep my
word, and my Father will love him, and
we will come to him and make our home
with" (John14:23)
Many so
called "Bible believing" churches are
preaching a gospel that is geared to gain
"decisions for Christ" rather than preach a
balanced (law & grace, true) gospel. Leaving
many in attendance to follow a false Jesus
(one that does not exist and therefore
cannot save anyone from the wrath of God).
Beware Of The False Conversion
Todd Friel (Wretched)
The following Featured Videos and
Audios are a series of messages provided to help you
assess and provoke thought about your relationship with
Christ. God doesn’t want you to be self deceived
concerning your relationship with him. Regrettably many
within the church claim a relationship with Christ but
their life style indicates they don’t know him (Titus 1:16).
Do you take pleasure in the things of the world that
caused Christ to be nailed to cross?
A powerful Sermon by Paul Washer [5]
According to Save America 75% of "born-again" Christians
lie regularly- conscious, premeditated lies.
"Per the article “Only Half of Pastors Have 'Biblical'
Worldview” written by Fred Jackson and Jody Brown of
Agape Press an “In a recent survey of Protestant pastors
conducted by the Barna Research Group, only half (51%)
passed the test on whether they possess a biblical
worldview. Of the pastors surveyed, Southern Baptists
scored the highest with 71% while United Methodists
finished at the bottom with just 27%. In between were
57% of pastors of Baptist churches (other than Southern
Baptist), 51% of pastors of non-denominational
Protestant churches, 44% of pastors of charismatic or
Pentecostal churches, 35% of pastors of black churches,
and 28% of pastors of leading mainline denominations.”

Something is surely wrong when there is no discernable
difference between those who claim Christ as their
savior and those who follow the world system. Therefore
it is imperative that professing Christians take a self
test as the Bible instructs, where by Paul states, "Test
yourselves to see if you are in the faith; examine
yourselves! Or do you not recognize this about
yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you—unless indeed
you fail the test? (2 Cor 13:5-6).
According to LIVING WATERS
MINISTRY. "There was a
time when the
entertainment industry
was bound by a code that
forbade them from using
any blasphemy in a
movie? The
"Hays
Code”
stated: "Pointed profanity--this includes the words “God,”
“Lord,” “Jesus,”
“Christ” (unless used
reverently), “Hell,”
“S.O.B.,” “damn,” or
every other profane or
vulgar expression,
however used--is
forbidden. "
Hollywood is no longer
restricted by the code.
Many of today's
movies don't simply
blaspheme the name of
Jesus . They go even
further with the use of
the "F" word using it
along with the name of
Jesus.[4] Yet
many Christians find
entertainment in these
very things that put
Christ to death on the
cross. Something is
surely wrong in this
kind of profession of
Christianity.
Are you
presenting your
bodies a living
and holy
sacrifice ( Rom
12:1) to God
or are you
allowing your
mind to be
conformed to
this world via
the
entertainment
industry?
Are you putting
worthless things
before your
eyes(Ps 101:3) ?
Are any of the people in the
following video[2]
representative of you?
In Rom 12:1-2 the
Bible tells us:
1. Therefore I urge
you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your
bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God,
which is
your spiritual service of
worship.
2. And do
not be conformed to this
world, but be transformed
by the renewing of your
mind, so that you may
prove what the will of God
is, that which is good and
acceptable and perfect."
