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

Agglomeration Time!!

I just can’t keep up with all the horrid false teachers/teachings which come across my email and discernment news items. Paul’s second letter to Timothy sounds just like today’s “church” culture: For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. (2 Tim.4:3, NIV)

Of course I also come across some good stuff to share, and that is how I’m starting this post.


A good, short, exegetical study of 1 Timothy 2:12.


Cult information — Jehovah’s Witnesses false teachings.


Is the baptism of the Holy Spirit in the Christian life?


Yes, Christians can celebrate Halloween “trick-or-treating” without getting involved in the occult.


More about The Chosen and Mormonism.  More about the series is something viewers need to be aware of. Then there is the Mormon influence and control of The Chosen. Which is probably why there is so much heresy and blasphemy in the series. Yet Christians continue to praise it and finance it by watching it. There is also another heretical influence—the actor playing “Jesus” consults with the dead!  Seems like there are plenty of warnings about this horrible series.  How about one more!


Is there really a New Apostolic Reformation? Yes.


Watch for NAR adherent Lance Wallnau.


Bible-Believing Liberals. Excellent article, which really points out problems primarily with Rick Warren and Willow Creek, but also noting others such as the UMC, George Barna, C. Peter Wagner, John Shelby Spong, Joel Osteen, Bill Hybels, et al.


The Democrat Jesus.


Then there is Kris Vallotton:


Did you know that God has a dream? And other false teachings by false pastors.


Almost daily I learn about another false teacher/“pastor” and wonder what sort of people hire them and follow them—they certainly cannot be true Christians. In reality, they are of the same ilk who allow this satanic blasphemy in their assemblies.


More proof that T.D. Jakes is a blasphemous wolf.


Max Lucado has gone from bad to worse; he is a false teacher to avoid.


Matt Chandler and Tony Evans—apostatizing deeper and deeper.


Six reasons why you should avoid Beth Moore.  As if you need more than I’ve already given to you!


The Episcopal Church is a church of Satan.

A Real Conglomeration

I’ve been busier than I can even think to describe, which means my collection of links was getting to much to put off posting any longer!  So hold on to your seats as you skim through the linked articles.


More and more, real science agrees with creationism.


Should we look at a teacher’s lifestyle? Or only his/her doctrine?


False Christ of The Chosen, Jesus Calling & The Shack - Pastor Chris Quintana


Homosexuality is the unfailing characteristic of paganism.


Say WHAT?!!?


I can’t warn you often enough to stay away from Jen Hatmaker; and remember she is supported by false teacher Beth Moore.


The ignorance and emotionalism of those following false teachers never ceases to amaze me.


Excellent overall examination of the Bethel Redding cult.


“Pastor” Chris Reed is another New Apostolic Reformation false teacher/prophet. Avoid him like the plague.


Lou Engle— sigh.


More Roman Catholic apostasy.


The ELCA denomination is about as evil and polluted as it gets.


The Church of the Covenant in Boston has proven it is not a Christian church. Of course, since it is aligned with both UCC and PCUSA, it’s a foregone conclusion that any banner they put up would be ungodly.


The dangers of Willow Creek.


This is what The Gospel Coalition has descended to—there is no Christian teaching here.

Another Agglomeration -- Already!

So much in the news since SCOTUS rightly overturned Roe v. Wade that a lot of Moloch worshippers are being exposed, even in the Church. That added to other news regarding crazy stuff being perpetrated by false teachers really added my collection of articles to share. So hold onto your seats!

This isn’t about apologetics, per se, but I think it is an excellent, thought-provoking article. I could argue it’s about apologetics in that we are looking at a biblical view of sex vs the culture’s view.


But with LEFTIST churches and teachers, they think telling someone to remain chaste is a burden and it is better to let women who have irresponsible sex to have an abortion. Just look at these “churches” and teachers: 


United Church of Christ Funeral For Roe. They want abortion so they don’t have to follow the teachings in the link above! This denomination has been apostate for decades.


The Episcopal Church continues to prove it is a church of Satan. These people are disgusting.


The Gospel Coalition is supporting abortion!!! And contrary to their claim, there is absolutely NO moral reason for abortion. TGC is as apostate as it gets.


Methodist churches worshipping Moloch.


Beth Moore—she’s about as apostate as it gets.


If you think Christians should not be in politics, you need to read this.


Moving along:


Iowa City is rife with LEFTISTs, probably because it’s home to the University of Iowa. 1st Presbyterian Church of Iowa City has proven to be what PCUSA wants it to be—a heretical teaching institution. Start this video at 39 minutes and you will hear the most blasphemous prayer I’ve ever encountered!


This “church” is no longer a church of Christ, but of Satan.


The Church of England doesn’t know what a woman isAnother look at this apostasy.


The Bethel cult is now selling “declaration clickers”— “a powerful and practical tool to help believers renew their minds with truth by helping them tabulate the number of times they speak biblically based declarations.” Greedy leaders found another way to soak their cult members.  But, hey, they now have dominion of the air!


Fake “near death experiences” and visits to heaven—beware of these frauds.


And here we thought Willow Creek was bad before!


Why Do So Many Worship Leaders Look So Gay?


More on “The Chosen” and the Mormon connection.


The Brownsville/Pensacola Revival had many false teachers who are still out there.


Three false gospels of Evangelical Christianity.

Good, Bad, and Ugly

It’s a good thing I am retired; otherwise I don’t know when I’d find time to go to work!  I think we spend more time away from home than we actually spend at home — except for perhaps sleeping!  And when I am home, the yard work is keeping me really busy.

I decided that I have too many links to articles to sit on any longer, especially since in my reading file I have a couple dozen more to look at!  As usual, let’s start with some good articles giving information, education, or edification, or all three!

The Good:
A very interesting commentary about eternal security and Saul.


A very interesting article about Seventh-day Adventism, demonstrating the cultic nature of that belief system, and how “progressives” wrangle with it.

What did Jesus mean when he said those who believe in him would do greater works?

One of the many problems of the theology of the Jehovah’s Witnesses.


Now for the Bad and/or Ugly: Fasten your seat-belts!

I wasn’t going to bring up the Willow Creek imbroglio again (I noted it in May), but I again want to point out how horrid things have gotten there; the ROOT to it all is the philosophy which was the foundation of Bill Hybels’ theology, a liberal feel-good theology which always leads to the destruction of affected assemblies.

Louie Giglio is a WOLF.  Warn people away from him.

Proof that Bill Johnson, of Beth Redding, is NOT a Christian and his “ministry” is not of Christ. This is demonic.

More on the “Revoice” conference.  Albert Mohler also chimes in with his observations.

Dennis Prager exposes the ideology behind the Pope’s recent denial of God’s law in regards to capital punishment: it isn’t Catholic or Christian.


Bible Study Fellowship is going downhill.  Use discernment!

If this is what a “church” has to do to get people to attend and take part in the assembly, then they are NOT “healthy spiritually” to begin with. Just remember that what you win them with is what you win them too.

What more evidence do you need to know Rick Warren is a false teacher who has demonstrated his need to be popular.  Saddleback, being a water-down feel-good church is baptizing how many false believers who really have no clue about their faith? (I also wonder why they keep track of how many baptisms; are they looking to be praised?)ne/

Andy Stanley’s teachings keep going from bad to worse.  MARK AND AVOID HIM!

More information on the Pennsylvania pedophile priests.

More proof that Jen Hatmaker is NOT a Christian: mark and avoid her!

Jonathan Cahn and Michael Brown — two false teachers in a pod.  Cahn really, really demonstrates what a false prophet he is, and how nutty he can really get: he finds the Bible prophecies Donald Trump as President!  And Brown accepts all his false teaching and promotes it. Where is the discernment in the people who listen to this nonsense?!?!?

The humorous
Church’s statement of faith comprised entirely of U2 lyrics.  Sounds like a church I visited once.

Bad and Ugly Happenings Among Jesus’ Church


The apostasy is just getting worse by the day, as too many places in Scripture predict.  There are a lot of teachers, teachings, and groups which need to be marked and avoided.  This post will link to articles of exposing some of the worst — worst because they are sucking in too many non-discerning people.

Jennifer LeClaire proves how hypocritical false teachers can be.

Oh the stunts some churches will go through to be “relevant.”

Proof that followers of Benny Hinn are biblically ignorant and are nothing more than a cult.

The Pope’s false and demonic teachings.  He also needs to mind his own business and quit preaching gun-control.

You know a song has to be bad for Christianity Today Astray to pan it.

Dangerous false teachers seem to multiply on a daily basis to where I can’t keep up with who’s who!  I just learned of a new whack-a-doodle this week, Ryan LeStrange.  Avoid him like the plague.

Bill Hybels and Willow Creek.  Mega Churches seem to often lead to star mentality by the pastor, which leads to all sorts of sins.  But Willow Creek has never been a place real Christians should attend.  You’ll notice in the list of elders who signed the statement that there are women, violating the command against women in authority in the Church. Just one of many false and aberrant teachings from Willow Creek over past few decades.  But as for Mega Church star teachers falling, Hybels isn’t alone. (H/T to Doug Evans)

Andy Stanley continues to prove why he is not qualified to be a pastor.

The Episcopal Church continues their spiral to hell.

Beth Moore whines about her treatment by men, but it appears to me it is not about misogyny as she claims, rather, those who snub her are probably sick of her false teachings and putting herself up as a “leader in the conservative Evangelical world.”  She is not only a false teacher, but she continues to put herself in a position of teaching authority over men. Perhaps she feels all her “direct revelations from God” allows her to disregard what the Bible actually teaches.  This response to her is right on track.

The humorous 
Joel Osteen would probably do this!

The Bad and the Ugly

Yesterday I posted the “good,” so today you get the “bad” and the “ugly” in the Christian culture.  

The Bad:
Francis Chan continues his spiral towards apostasy by teaming with false teachers and the cult of IHOP.

The delusion so many Christians are under.  What a waste of time and effort!

Willow Creek just goes from bad to worse—now they have a woman lead pastor!  When did this become acceptable?

David Barton — not to be trusted in any of his teachings.

Some names to know for avoiding, because they are showing their contemplative beliefs.

Max Lucado continues going off the deep end.

The Ugly:
Ah, the heresy and apostasy of the PCUSA.

Brian McLaren’s “new Christianity” is dangerous paganism.

Perry Noble remains as unrepentant as ever, and as unbiblical as ever.  Mark and avoid him like the plague.

Harry Potter as sacred texts — I guess it’s no real surprise.


Todd White claims to be sinless.  And he claims Jesus went to Hell, which is typical Word of Faith heresy.

Al Sharpton — there is nothing “reverend” or even Christian about him.  In addition to his fruit
exposed in this article, Sharpton is also an ardent racist and a zealous socialist.

More blasphemy from Jim Bakker.  And yet his followers are still loyal to him.

Yes, Bill Johnson and Bethel Redding teach a different, FALSE, gospel.

The demonic “Mary” of the Roman Catholic Church.
