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

About that Make-up


Whatever is born is the work of God. So whatever is plastered on, is the devil’s work…. How unworthy of the Christian name it is to wear a fictitious face—you on whom simplicity in every form is enjoined! You, to whom lying with the tongue is not lawful, are lying in appearance.


Tertullian (ca.198), 4:21. Cited in A Dictionary of Early Christian Beliefs, edited by David W. Bercot, Pg 176.

Circumcision Is a Sign and Not a Work


The inability of the female sex to receive fleshly circumcision proves that circumcision was given for a sign. It was not given as a work of righteousness.


Justin Martyr (ca.160), 1:206 Cited in A Dictionary of Early Christian Beliefs, edited by David W. Bercot, pg 167

Sunday Worship Gathering

And on the day called Sunday, all who live in cities or in the country gather together to one place. And the memoirs of the apostles or the writings of the prophets are read, as long as time permits. Then, when the reader has ceased, the president verbally instructs us and exhorts us to imitate these good things. Then we all rise together and pray. And, as we said before, when our prayer is ended, bread and wine and water are brought. Then, the president in like manner offers prayers and thanksgivings, according to his ability. And the people assent, saying “Amen.” Then, [the Eucharist] is distributed to everyone, and everyone participates in [the bread and wine], over which thanks has been given. And a portion of it is sent by the deacons to those who are absent.


Justin Martyr (ca.160), 1:186. Cited in A Dictionary of Early Christian Beliefs, edited by David W. Bercot, Pg. 38

A Wild Agglomeration

Here we go again, folks. A few articles about discernment then a whole bunch exposing false teachings/teachers. Hold on to your hats!


A good article about discernment.


Culture Transforming the Church. Something to think about and be aware of.


4 Verses False Teachers Take Out Of Context.


The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders is as anti-Bible, anti-Christ, anti-God as it gets. The whole psych field is the antithesis of Christianity.


Chris Tomlin. Don’t help finance him by purchasing his materials. By helping Tomlin you are helping to spread heresy.


I often wonder is Beth Moore is a false Christian.


How false teachers twist Scripture to justify beliefs.


Another wolf to be aware of—Sean Feucht.


OH, the blasphemy of “The Chosen.”


Hillsong proves it is more about the world than about the Lord.


Not to be outdone by Hillsong, Bethel’s “pastors” are more and more ridiculous and blasphemous in their claims.


Another “pastor” playing a false, lying, worldly game. Disgusting racism pretending to be virtue as he feeds LEFTIST propaganda in the name of Jesus—BLASPHEMY!


This is a perverted satanist who is part of The Gospel Coalition. TGC doesn’t even know the Gospel.


Kat Kerr proves again what a wicked false prophet she is.


A Brief Roundup of Pastors and Pastrixes Headed to Hell #7. And here’s another one going to hell.


The Episcopal Church long ago became apostate and heretical. Another example of how bad they are is this blasphemy.


Joel Osteen— what can I say to this?!? Neither he nor his wife are true Christians.


Last, but not least, Rick Warren is a horrid false teacher. I don’t have time to watch the 3 hr video (and I’d guess most of my readers don’t either) but the list of issues with Warren is all the proof you need against him.

Apologetics Miscellany


Life has kept me very occupied outside of home so researching things, writing articles or even collection links for sharing has become difficult to accomplish. I’ve gotten so little accomplished around home this summer that I’m not looking forward to fall since I really need to get some work done in the garden! This is all to say that this post has a fairly large collection of stories to visit, so let’s get started.


Here’s a very interesting article about today’s political culture vs God.


Cessationism vs. Continuationism


Does the Bible Mandate Nice Language When Condemning Evil?


Michael Jennings claims to be a pastor, yet he’s suing a city for hurting his feelings. Rather than cooperate with police when asked for an ID, he whined that he wasn’t doing anything wrong and refused to show ID. The problem was that he was in someone else’s yard and the police were trying to verify his story about being a neighbor. Of course to him, a black man, they must be racists. Well, I looked to see what his church was and discovered it is another one of those apostate places associated with the LEFTIST Episcopal Church. No wonder he didn’t behave as a Christian pastor!!!!


This is what the seeker-sensitive/market-driven “church” has devolved into.


National Baptist Convention must be full of apostates.


Nate Collins and the “Revoice” conference are thumbing their noses at God’s design for human sexuality.


Scott Sauls and Tim Keller—two peas in a pod?


More bad teachings by Tim Keller.


The Shifting Sands of Watchtower Salvation.


How Matt Chandler’s Elders Violated Scripture.


Ever since “Purpose Driven” nonsense first came out I have been warning people to stay away from anything by Rick Warren. Well, “the proof is in the pudding.”  He’s rancid with his teachings.


Miranda Nelson—SIGH! I find it difficult to understand how people can allow themselves to be suckered into such blasphemous nonsense.


If you need more proof that the United Methodist Church is apostate….


Kat Kerr is about as nutty as it gets. She’s a great pawn of Satan’s but she’s no prophet. How can people seriously follow her!?!


A cult I was unfamiliar with: The Christian Family Fellowship. There are too many of these groups to keep up with!


More on the fraudulent Jesus of The Chosen.


The spiritually dangerous teachings of Andrew Wommack.

You Cannot Reconcile Christianity to Psychology


Attempts to reconcile Christianity to psychology will actually have the effect of undermining the Christian point of view. The most obvious example of this undercutting is provided by the psychological emphasis on self-acceptance. Although there are many kinds and types of psychological theories and therapies, this remains a prevalent theme. It is very nearly the First Commandment of the psychological society that we should accept ourselves as we are. We are urged to greater self-awareness n the happy assumption that we will like what we find. We are, as the saying goes, OK. We just have to learn to be ourselves.


In contrast, Christianity starts off by saying that we’re not OK the way we are. There is something wrong with us—a twist in our natures. And the twist is not removed by liking yourself, but by starting to live in Christ. There are plenty of reasons why Christians ought to be happy about themselves, but those reasons are linked to the fact that we’ve been rescued from the fate of just being ourselves, and they have very little connection with psychological rationales for self-love. Christians are not supposed to facilitate the growth of the old self. They’re supposed to give it up and put on a new self. Whether you accept the Christian version of the human situation or the psychological version, one point should be clear: if they psychological point of view is the correct one, then the good news of the gospel is reduced to the status of nice news—“nice” because there was never anything wrong with us in the first place. And if there’s nothing wrong with us, why this business about the crucifixion and redemption? OK people don’t need a savior.


The main practical effect of this psychological infiltration has been a lowering of the consciousness of sin among Christians.

What An Agglomeration!

Let’s start with an easy one: 10 Best Christian Discernment Blogs and Websites. I don’t know what the criteria is and I certainly think there are some better sites, but they’ve got me at #5. 

Who Do You Say Jesus Is? Excellent, concise examination of the Jesus of the cults.


Is Having a “Private Prayer Language” Biblical?


Examining the “Jesus is my boyfriend” movement.


An example of the horrid invasion of the church by Satan as he legitimizes what God calls an abomination. If you can stomach it, here is another example.


I doubt if there are any real Christians left in the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America.


A Canadian “church” calling itself “Lutheran” is as bad as the ELCA with its invasion of evil. Neither are churches of Christ, rather they are dens of iniquity serving Satan.


A word about the “gay Christianity” movement.


This video is an hour long. If you have the time, it’s a great exposure of false prophet Bob Jones of IHOP.


Patricia King proves she’s a rank heretic (just under four minutes). Why do people listen to her? Of course Michael Brown supports her. The outrageous blasphemy of Patricia King and others in the charismatic movement is perfectly displayed in this video.


More proof that Paula White is a false Christian, let alone false teacher.


Kat Kerr—how in the world can people really believe her nonsense?!?! She is a pawn of Satan.


Some real charismaniacs here. Mostly women, and the keyboard just keeps making the same tones--no music-- over and over. A bunch of emotional nonsense with no honoring of God.


Oh, how often I have said that Timothy Keller is a false teacher. Has he had some good teachings? Yes, but on the whole his bad more than outweighs his good. Here is another example of where he goes wrong. Oh, and he seems to be teaching evolutionism with some really weird and unbiblical ideas. I wish I had the time to do an in-depth exposure of how much of a wolf is Keller.


What about Matt Chandler and his “Acts 29 churches”? Chandler continues to prove his unworthiness to be a pastor.


Beth Moore’s daughter Melissa is even worse than her mother!!!!


Women clergy have been at the vanguard of pushing Christianity and Judaism to the left, leaving mainstream churches and synagogues increasingly empty. Of course, the increasingly feminized male clergy go along with their female colleagues.
