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

A Warning About Some Ugly Stuff


Clint Adams alerts us to a cult of which I’ve never heard: A Voice in the Desert.


Carl Lentz — Seems he’s had MANY affairs.  As noted in my last post, he is going to counseling for “pastor burnout”: you know, blame “mental illness” for your sin.  Dysfunction is rife at Hillsong.  AND, inappropriate sexual relations seem to be frequent.


A new “Christian” denomination, Liberation Methodist Connexion (LMX), is a denomination of Satan and not of Christ’s church.


Stay away from Lauren Daigle. She’s been on the heretic radar since she joined in with Ellen Degreneres in bashing Christian doctrines. Now she’s working with Mormons sharing her musical talents.


A woman “pastor” and “Holy Spirit Salsa Dancing.” Bethel is an abomination to the Lord.


Exorcism is a fraud perpetrated by the apostate Papist church.


False teacher Rick Warren is now promoting racism.


Beth Moore gets wackier by the day.


If you come across teachings by Henri Nouwen, stay away from them: they are poison. The article is a bit long, but that’s how one can get detailed with examinations.


Celebrity Super Pastors Praising Themselves.  Along with occasional commentary by Steven Kozar.  These narcissistic people are shameless false teachers, heretics, and blasphemers of God.


Always remember that the Lord is still on His throne!

Ugly Things Within the Church


The infection of
false doctrine in the Church.


WARNING: Carl Lentz is trying for a comebackHe’s getting counseling; psychobabble counseling which he will most likely claim has cured him and therefore he can be back in the pulpit.


Here comes the next Hillsong/Bethel-type church of apostasy and heresy.


Beth Moore - the woman really, really needs to be put out to pasture.


I saw this old video and decided to share it. It’s tells what Jehovah’s Witnesses teach about Jesus.


The Pope continues to prove that he has nothing to do with Christianity, is not a spokesman for God, but is a spokesman for Satan.


Francis Chan has really gone off the deep end. The man is a blasphemer as well as being a rank false teacher.


I previously linked to an article about “The Bible Project” and I keep learning more problems with it. Well, I learned it also has some theological problems regarding hell. Stay away from this “project.”


Where are all the discerning women?


Clint Adams has an excellent examination of rank heretic Richard Rohr, who also happens to be a major promoter of that horrid, unbiblical nonsense of the Enneagram.


Raphael Warnock is a false Christian leading a false church and now is trying to be a Senator. Just what we need in the Senate — another Demokrat, racist anti-Semite.  (I have yet to find in the Bible where we need to repent for our “worship of whiteness", whatever that is.)

More Stuff to Think About

I keep telling you Hillsong is a cult and Carl Lentz is a cult leader. And this is what cult leaders do. His wife also got fired. Some other information says Lentz was unfaithful as early as 2014!


3 Reasons Sunday Is Not the Christian Sabbath. Something from The Gospel Coalition I actually agree with!  But then they also include this article about the need to be Sabbatarians!?!  Sorry, but I have proven conclusively that the Sabbath was only for the nation of Israel.


More Scripture-twisting by LEFTIST so-called “Christians.”


The Catholic Church: sex trafficking and homosexual predation. Has history for them really changed since the days where popes were immersed in sexual debauchery?


A perfect example of all that is wrong with the church. As the author points out, David Platt is guilty of teaching Christians that it is okay to vote Democrat. You cannot honor God as a Democrat


It’s disappointing and disheartening to learn that Ravi Zacharias was essentially a con man, even though he had some excellent teachings. I often wondered about his discernment based on who he associated with. Check out the videos on this site.

A Political Statement

The fact that Trump hasn't won by a landslide and that Biden is in a good position to win really tells a lot about just how far this country has descended into total depravity with the desire for free things over freedom. I'm disgusted with what our culture has become.  God has given this country the government it deserves.

Be Still My Soul


Be still, my soul: the Lord is on your side;

bear patiently the cross of grief or pain;

leave to your God to order and provide;

in ev'ry change he faithful will remain.

Be still, my soul: your best, your heav'nly Friend

through thorny ways leads to a joyful end.


Be still, my soul: your God will undertake

to guide the future as he has the past.

Your hope, your confidence let nothing shake;

all now mysterious shall be bright at last.

Be still, my soul: the waves and winds still know

his voice who ruled them while he dwelt below.


Be still, my soul: when dearest friends depart,

and all is darkened in the vale of tears,

then shall you better know his love, his heart,

who comes to soothe your sorrow and your fears.

Be still, my soul: your Jesus can repay

from his own fullness all he takes away.


Be still, my soul: the hour is hast'ning on

when we shall be forever with the Lord,

when disappointment, grief, and fear are gone,

sorrow forgot, love's purest joys restored.

Be still, my soul: when change and tears are past,

all safe and blessed we shall meet at last.

When Calvinist Ideology Changes Lyrics


One of my favorite hymns is “And Can It Be?” —It’s a wonderful statement of the Gospel. But what happens in a Calvinist hymnal?


Here is the third verse as written by Charles Wesley:


He left His Father’s throne above—

So free, so infinite His grace—

Emptied Himself of all but love,

And bled for Adam’s helpless race:

’Tis mercy all, immense and free,

For, O my God, it found out me!


Now see a Calvinist version:


He left His Father’s throne above—

So free, so infinite His grace—

Humbled Himself, so great his love!

And bled for all his chosen race:

’Tis mercy all, immense and free,

For, O my God, it found out me!


Charles Wesley is spinning in his grave.

A follow-up on John Piper’s tirade against President Trump


You really have to read this article about John Piper's tirade. In fact, this is a good article for demonstrating that those Christians who have some of the same claims against President Trump are being abjectly foolish.  Remember people, we are voting for a President and not a pastor. 

Just a sample from the article:

Consider the sins Piper highlights as being biblically deadly: “unrepentant sexual immorality (porneia), unrepentant boastfulness (alazoneia), unrepentant vulgarity (aischrologia), unrepentant factiousness (dichostasiai).” Now, Trump, a presumably unregenerate man, does display these qualities, among admirable traits. But is Biden above them?

We’re talking about a man who was also accused of sexual assault (porneia), who has spent an entire campaign boasting about his political accomplishments of the last 47 years (alazoneia), who told a voter he was “full of sh-t” and insulted others (aischrologia), and who repeatedly divides people into factions, specifically stoking racial strife (dichostasiai). This is just from the list Piper provided, and is to say nothing of Biden’s character as it relates to habitual lying, exploiting his positions of influence for personal gain, undermining God’s design for marriage and families, attacking people of faith, and instilling fear to obtain power, just to name a few of the many more obvious strikes against Biden’s character. For an example of “bad company [that] corrupts good character,” look no further than the woman he chose as his running mate.

It is conceivable that a Christian could say that she could not in good conscience vote for Trump because of his character. But what is truly baffling, to use Piper’s word, is that a Christian could, with intellectual honesty, say that Biden’s character is better.

Wayne Grudem also criticized Piper.

The Watchman of Our Conscience


For God sees and hears everything, and when the wicked doer tries to hide what he has done, then God wakes up a little watchman that He places inside us all when we are born and who sleeps on quietly till we do something wrong. And the little watchman has a small goad in his hand, and when he wakes up he keeps on pricking us with it, so that we have not a moment’s peace. And the watchman torments us still further, for he keeps on calling out, “Now you will be found out! Now they will drag you off to punishment!”

Ends and ODDS!

Let’s start this post with an article from Answers In Genesis.  A Cultural and Spiritual Crisis Based on Fake Science!


The Roman Catholic Church is really showing its true colors lately.  First, we have the Pope promoting legalized same-sex unions, i.e. “marriage.” Then he goes and appoints pro-LGBT men to the College of Cardinals. The Cripplegate says we shouldn’t be surprised.


With the current culture and election fever we need to understand “Dogma Fights.”


Of course sometimes “dogma fights” lead to changing God’s Word to suit personal ideologies. And other times they lead to really silly arguments.


Now I need to alert you to what’s going on with some false teachers:


Todd Smith. I never heard of this guy before, but he is sly but dangerous.


Another I’ve not heard of is Sean Feucht. He’s connected with the blasphemous and apostate Bethel Redding goat-pen.


Greg Laurie likes the endorsement of false teachers.


John Piper continues his descent into support of the LEFT. Gary DeMar has a rebuttal for Piper.


Beth Moore.  This lady just keeps getting worse. Elizabeth Prata believes Beth is demon-possessed. I’m not sure I can go that far, but Moore is certainly demonically influenced.


Be DISCERNING, people!

Don't Trust Psychology


Seven reasons to not trust psychology.

It is not a genuine science.

It is relatively ineffective.

It is motivated more by money than compassion.

Labels produce dysfunction rather than healing.

Psychology is incompetent in dealing with the inner person.

It cannot produce healing from the past.

It is incompatible with Christianity; it is a competing faith.  Psychology is by definition the study of the soul. Without Christ, one cannot solve the problem.


This typed-up list surely was copied from a book in the past but I never noted from where it came. However, as I just found this in a file, I thought it was worth posting.
