We who preach the gospel must not think of ourselves as public relations agents sent to establish good will between Christ and the world. We must not imagine ourselves commissioned to make Christ acceptable to big business, the press, the world of sports or modern education. We are not diplomats but prophets, and our message is not a compromise but an ultimatum. A.W. Tozer
Therefore let God-inspired Scripture decide between us; and on whichever side be found doctrines in harmony with the word of God, in favor of that side will be cast the vote of truth. --Basil of Caesarea
Once you learn to discern, there's no going back. You will begin to spot the lie everywhere it appears.

I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, because He considered me faithful, putting me into service. 1 Timothy 1:12

To Become a Christian Means to Change


If conversion to Christianity makes no improvement in a man’s outward actions—if he continues to be just as snobbish or spiteful or envious or ambitious as he was before—then I think we must suspect that his “conversion” was largely imaginary; and after one’s original conversion, every time one thinks one has made an advance, the is the test to apply. Fine feelings, new insights, greater interest in “religion” mean nothing unless they make our actual behavior better; just as in illness “feeling better” is not much good if the thermometer shows that your temperature is still going up.

Is It a Religion?


As Elliot Miller, specialist in New Age beliefs, pointed out,The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that a primary characteristic of a religion is that it adheres to and promotes ‘underlying theories’ concerning such ‘ultimate realities as man’s nature and his place in the universe.” This is certainly true not only of the New Age Movement but also of Freemasonry.

This is why the U.S. Supreme Court declared that Secular Humanism is a religion, and why Evolutionism is also a religion.
