Founded in 1999 - 'a voice crying in the wilderness'
Homepage Updated 7/3/09
Do you want to hear real Truth and righteous, biblical discernment?
Can you handle the truth? Most people are highly offended by the truth- even Christians! But there is no genuine love without God's truths!
Keep reading and judge for yourself.
BUT THE HOUR IS COMING, AND NOW IS, WHEN TRUE WORSHIPERS WILL WORSHIP THE FATHER IN SPIRIT AND TRUTH; FOR THE FATHER IS SEEKING SUCH TO WORSHIP HIM. GOD IS A SPIRIT: AND THEY THAT WORSHIP HIM MUST WORSHIP HIM IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH.
John 4:23,24
SEE THAT NOT ANY LEADS YOU ASTRAY. FOR MANY WILL COME IN MY NAME, SAYING, I AM THE CHRIST AND THEY WILL CAUSE MANY TO BE LED ASTRAY...AND THEN MANY WILL BE ENSNARED.... AND MANY FALSE PROPHETS WILL BE RAISED AND WILL CAUSE MANY TO ERR... AND BECAUSE LAWLESSNESS SHALL HAVE BEEN MULTIPLIED, THE LOVE OF MANY WILL GROW COLD. Matthew 24:4,5,10,11,12
This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
WE ARE COMPELLED BY CHRIST AND HIS WORD TO:
...Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long-suffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
2 Tim. 3:1-7 & 4:2-4 KJ
EVANGELICAL CHRISTIANITY IS FIGHTING FOR IT'S LIFE:
We are a boldly Bible-believing, Christian discernment ministry, primarily focused on identifying and exposing the growing deceptions and apostasy in the greater evangelical church. We face many 'Goliaths' here and so we seek your support in order to continue and expand. We strongly believe that God has given us a prophetic understanding over a wide variety of related subjects and we are willing here to 'march in,' examine and expose many things, 'where (most) others fear to tread.' We are also strongly Conservative Constitutionalist thus anti-New World Order (revealing, exposing and opposing the rising government of the Antichrist and the evil now destroying America). This site is rightly direct and correctional in nature, as most of the evangelical church has strayed away from the Truth and Power of the Gospel and prefers to be deceived by multiple streams of apostasy. I reveal the major demonic conspiracies that are now destroying our country and demonizing devout Christians. If you don't realize that we are under extreme attack from the worst evil forces or you are already offended... then you have already been willingly deceived or brainwashed and can no longer discern truth from error.
This ministry has another important site that is a balance to the "tough love" found on this site: Jesusrapture.com, which encourages Christians to pursue and follow Jesus through the power of His Word, Spirit, praise and worship and to be ready for His coming.
IF MY PEOPLE, WHICH ARE CALLED BY MY NAME, SHALL HUMBLE THEMSELVES, AND PRAY, AND SEEK MY FACE, AND TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS; THEN WILL I HEAR FROM HEAVEN AND WILL FORGIVE THEIR LAND.
II Chronicles 7:14
No, I can't guarantee to you that absolutely everything on this web site is flawless or beyond correction. We do not speak "ex-cathedra." We are open to reproof and correction, which helps to make us a biblical and highly accurate discernment site.
PRAYER ACTION ALERT: If you don't care if biblical Christianity is criminalized or if we lose our God-given rights, which are even guaranteed us by the Bill of Rights, then please stop reading this now. If you are offended that a Christian ministry is boldly patriotic and identifies the evil now running our government and persecuting Bible believing Christians, you have been brainwashed by "politically correct" leftists and need to repent, as our country and your eternity hang in the balance. STRANGE TWIST: RUSSIAN PRAVDA ACCURATELY IDENTIFIES AMERICAN PLUNGE INTO MARXISM (CALLING US "SHEEPLE") AND ALLOWING SPIRITUAL ROT IN OUR CHURCHES! Know that we have never had to come against a more dangerous attack upon us; our country's Constitution and our religious freedoms, that is as grave as what is now happening. This ministry and many others (National Prayer Network for one) have been warning the church and 'blowing the trumpet' of warning concerning "hate crimes" legislation being enacted if the godless, anti-constitutionalist, America-hating, Christian-hating leftists took power and now- the judiciary committee just proposed it... a tyrannical "hate crimes" bill that is now going to the House of Representatives:
Judiciary Committee greenlights "hate crimes"
Members refuse to protect Christian pastors from charges WND.
"God who gave us life gave us liberty. And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are of the gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with His wrath? Indeed, I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that His justice cannot sleep forever."
--Thomas Jefferson
James Dobson, well known head of 'Focus on the Family,' who rarely openly criticizes congress has openly declared an emergency (As we did two weeks ago!) 'There's utter evil coming out of Congress'
Focus on the Family ministry founder condemns 'Pedophile Protection Act' and the "Hate Crimes Prevention Act" that WILL criminalize Christianity.
WAKE UP CHURCH...DO YOU REALLY WANT PEDOPHILIA, BESTIALITY, HOMOSEXUALITY AND THIRTY OTHER FILTHY SEXUAL SINS TO BECOME FEDERALLY PROTECTED AGAINST ALL CRITICISM AND THUS MAKE PREACHING ABOUT THOSE ACTS AS BEING 'SINFUL' A FEDERAL CRIME???
YOU MUST NOW CALL YOUR SENATORS AND REPRESENTATIVES AND TELL THEM STRONGLY NOT TO SUPPORT THIS BILL! THEN TELL YOUR FRIENDS AND YOUR CHURCH MEMBERS TO CALL THEIR REPS- WE NEED TO TELL EVERYONE THAT WE KNOW, TO PETITION THEIR REPRESENTATIVES WITH ALL GODLY INTENSITY. THEN...PRAY AND ORGANIZE PRAYER MEETINGS AND STAND WITH US AND THOUSANDS OF OTHER MINISTRIES IN AGREEMENT THAT IN JESUS NAME THIS BILL WILL NOT PASS! THOSE CHRISTIANS WHO HAVE PLEDGED TO UPHOLD, PROTECT AND DEFEND OUR CONSTITUTION MUST NOW DO SO!
The sodomites ("...as in the days of Noah" Matt. 24:37 [and Lot: Luke 17:26-30]) and marxist totalitarians are now ruling our country and the church is mostly still asleep! WAKE UP CHURCH! Most of the evangelical church has been deceived, brainwashed and brow-beat into believing that Christians should not be too involved or outspoken about "politics" or in confronting others. Major portions of the church have been brainwashed by the perversion of "judge not" and infected with the deadly spiritual virus of 'peace and unity at all costs.' These evil deceptions have bound a great portion of the church from asserting our pre-existing, GOD-GIVEN RIGHTS, as reiterated in our the Declaration of Independence and our Constitution. If our founding fathers and early patriots had possessed our present dominant mentality, there never would have been an American Revolution and we would still be royal subjects. Those revolutionaries protested and rebelled over much less than we are now passively accepting, though there are many similarities! WE MUST STAND AGAINST EVIL IN THE CHURCH AND THE EVIL THAT HAS NOW TAKEN OVER OUR COUNTRY AND COME AGAINST IT IN EVERY WAY NECESSARY, IF THIS GOVERNMENT CONTINUES ON IT'S DESPOTIC, ANTI-AMERICAN, ANTI-CHRISTIAN PATH! I speak boldly at my own risk and though I don't reveal who I am on this website, they know who I am! YES...I reveal the major demonic conspiracies that are now destroying our country and demonizing Christians. If you don't realize that we are under extreme attack from the worst evil forces... then you have been willingly deceived or brainwashed.
We must contend earnestly for the Faith- the one true Faith which is found in Jesus Christ alone- to Him be all glory honor and praise- Wonderful, Counselor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace- King of heaven and earth! Creator of ALL that exists!
Hallelujah! For the Lord God Almighty REIGNS- and He shall reign forever and ever!
WE NEED YOUR HELP: For the first time in 10 years, we are seeking/asking for financial support/sponsors to help get our message out and hopefully get invited to preach at churches and/or partner with them.
PREFACE: Though ALL are invited to read our articles, this site is primarily written for the greater evangelical church. We strongly believe in 'speaking the truth in love,' and we are motivated by our love for Jesus and for ALL people. We also strongly believe in the need to 'reprove, rebuke and exhort' and in calling the wayward church to repentance and revival. PLEASE JOIN US IN PRAYING FOR GOD'S MERCY AND FOR REVIVAL! PLEASE AGREE WITH US IN PRAYER FOR A MIGHTY MOVE OF GOD'S SPIRIT IN AMERICA AND THE WORLD! We do not ascribe to the politically correct (unbiblical) spirit in most of Christendom today that cries out for "peace and unity" at all costs. A spiritually blinding and brainwashing evil spirit (spirit of antichrist) prevails over most of Christendom, demonizing those who preach the truth and who make any kind of "judgments" concerning certain unbiblical doctrines or ministries. Telling the Truth (even in love) will 'rightly divide', convict and anger most people The Lord Jesus had that effect upon people when he preached, as did the Apostle Paul, though that certainly was not their goals either! We are called to love all people and not to condemn anyone but this does not equate to NOT making crucial discernments and RIGHTEOUS judgments, which ALL Christians must do to keep from being deceived. We love Jesus and His Word above all, our families and our country. ALL true Christians are COMMANDED to speak the direct truth as found only in the full, life-changing, pure Gospel, especially as the church and America are now in such dire trouble. The faint of heart- those who can't deal with reality and only want to hear a non-controversial, rosy, white-washed message should now stop reading this. We do not worship at the altar of the major pop movements that focus upon you and who primarily preach christianized "positivism," that is void of the power of God's life-changing Word and His glorious Spirit. Our foremost "purpose" is to worship, know and proclaim Jesus and His Word. If you are of the "Faith Movement/ Prosperity" persuasion, we certainly address the major heresies that plague that movement and I encourage you to read on. We speak God's truth to the "pillow prophets" who pretend to "prophesy" your personal future and lie about how "rich" you will soon become. If you want to hear the truth about the state of the church, America and the world and what we as Christans must NOW do...keep reading.
This is a spiritual and biblical discernment site. As watchmen, our mission is to wake up the sleeping bride (the church) and call her to repentance and spiritual revival before the Lord comes for His church and to sow seeds that will lead others to repentance after Jesus Raptures His bride (all born-again believers) from this earth.
We have articles concerning the growing apostasy in Christendom, though we prioritize the articles in order of pressing concerns and mostly by what the Spirit of God has placed upon us. We also have articles about the attacks upon our country, our Constitution and our freedoms. We reveal prophetic insights about the rising government of the Antichrist and prophecy in the news. We interpret current events in view of scripture and apply God's Word to what is happening in the church today. Our PRIMARY source is scripture and the interpretation and application for today's church. It is the spiritual gift of prophecy, which enables those who have it to properly interpret and apply God's Word, which the Apostle Paul told us to strongly desire.
We speak the direct truth because Christians are CALLED to do so- even at their own demise. I am CALLED as a WATCHMAN to our country (as are many others) and particularly to the true church- much of which is asleep or in denial as to what is happening right before our eyes. God ALWAYS warns His people and calls them to repentance and revival when we are losing our salt and light. The Lord says that "His people perish for lack of knowledge." God wants us to know what is causing the world around us to crumble; what to do about it and how to pray.
By using historical documentation, (includes the writings of occult leaders) historical quotes of notable individuals, historical events and the testimony of x-members, I expose the major 'secret societies' that have worked so long to usher in the "New World Order" and the coming Antichrist. I document their numerous fronts and complicit organizations, which are willingly following the directions of an occult hierarchy, which is in the process of destroying America as we have known it and will criminalize Biblical Christianity.
The Lord asks of you today just as Moses asked the children of Israel:
"...Who is on the Lord's side?" Exodus 32:26
Yes, it is possible to be in this world and yet not partake in the spirit of the world BUT it is not possible to bow to both God and man. It is time for you to seek the Lord and be cleansed from ALL filthiness and worldliness. God needs you and you need God- the time is short and the spiritual battle is raging!
God is COMPELLING ALL discerning, Spirit-filled, mature Christians to NOW intercede for our country and the church with absolute abandon (most are)! STORM THE THRONE OF HEAVEN- PLEAD FOR GOD'S MERCIFUL DELIVERANCE! AMERICA CAN STILL BE SAVED FROM DISASTER AND THE CHURCH CAN COME TO REPENTANCE AND GREAT REVIVAL!
Regardless of whether we all agree upon every single (non essential) doctrine God COMMANDS that we pray and bind evil and to SPEAK THE TRUTH. Our founding fathers were certainly motivated by fundamental truths before and during the Revolutionary War and found them to be "self-evident" and God-given. We are not talking about perfect men because there is no such person except for Jesus but God calls us to freely receive HIS holiness and HIS Truth by HIS grace.
These articles to the left are controversial, especially to the lost. Even most Christians will initially find many of these articles to be "judgmental" and even "conspiracy theory." Most Christians don't want to listen to convicting or controversial subjects due to the last day's politically correct, peace-at-any-cost, counterfeit spirit of "love and unity," which now plagues evangelical Christianity. The fear-driven demonic spirit of political correctness was prophesied by the prophet Daniel. Daniel foresaw the thought police atmosphere that we are now in and characterized it as a "spirit of flatteries," which is exactly what is happening in our society as people are increasingly in bondage to paying homage and "kissing up" to the powers above them, in fear of upsetting them. Pagans with ultra-worldly, ungodly life-styles fair well in this world system as their concsciences have been highly altered and their animal instincts of self-preservation and "climbing the ladder" selfishly entitles most to do whatever they must to "look out for #1. Many in authority are demanding slave-like obedience and servitude from their "underlings" (servants). More and more people feel like they are increasingly being oppressed by our culture, bosses, companies, churches and our government as we are quickly losing our 1st Amendment rights to free expression. WE ARE LOSING OUR FREEDOMS RIGHT BEFORE OUR EYES- WE ARE BECOMING AN ORWELLIAN SOCIETY! This perverted demon spirit (the spirit of Antichrist) permeates our society and even most churches as this spirit bewitches people to want dominance and to lord (control)it over others. This demon spirit obviously hates real Christians and the Gospel truth that can liberate people from this rising tyranny. Humanity is being processed to accept an antichrist, "New World Order" global dictatorship. Praise God; Jesus is coming soon and true Christians will be Raptured out of this world but we must "fight the good (spiritual) fight" as the Apostle Paul has said and "run the race." The end is in sight but God wants us to be a loving and truthful witness, raising the standard of His love and righteousness, so that millions of others will receive Him. Some of us may face intense persecution - even prison and death before Jesus comes. In many countries, this has been happening for centuries. Our loving Heavenly Father wants to warn us and equip us for what is coming. 1st century, (catacomb) Christian, sacrificial love that does not return evil for evil will be the most powerful witness for Jesus in the coming days, as it always has been. We must not get angry or combative as Peter did in the Garden.
We post these articles to (hopefully) open the eyes of the blind and to help bring about repentance and discernment in the church. Our motivation is also to compel Christians to pray and stand with us in prayer and in Faith to expose and bind these evils that are attacking the true church, our country, Israel and the world. Praise God for holding back the tide of evil from completely overtaking our world, which satan one day will soon do for 7 years of hell on earth. (Repent of your sins and receive Jesus if you know that you are not ready. There is no sin or lifestyle that He cannot forgive you for and deliver you out of, IF you want to know Jesus, be forgiven and delivered!) We are committed to loving our enemies and praying for those who hate and persecute Christians, Jews and conservatives. My articles concerning the extreme evils of the New World Order (the government of Antichrist) and anti-American, ungodly leadership and influences in our government and world, are vitally important for Christians to know about today. Many other brave Christians are exposing the extreme dangers that our country now finds itself in and Christians MUST be aware and have knowledge about these powerful organizations and individuals so as NOT to vote for or participate in their evil. I stand with brave patriot pastors like Chuck Baldwin, whose video sermons and columns are on line and I have links to many others with critical discernments and information about what we MUST NOW do to come against this rising flood of evil.
"EVIL FLOURISHES WHEN GOOD MEN DO NOTHING"
Recent SHOCKING AP poll: 57% of "evangelicals" don't believe that Jesus is the only way to God! "Jesus said unto him, I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life: no man comes unto the Father, but by Me." John 14:6 We believe in God-given free will and thus the freedom of every soul to accept or to reject Christ, we do not disparage (in any way!) those who hold other beliefs. God loves ALL people! Authentic Christians also love ALL people, whether they agree with our beliefs or not! In fact, we are commanded never to 'return evil for evil'...NEVER to hate or even dislike those who hate us! (That does not mean that we cannot defend our safety and our lives or preach the Truth of the complete Gospel!) This poll is a major confirmation of the gross apostasy within the "evangelical" church. If 57% of "evangelicals" think that they are born again but don't believe that Jesus is the ONLY way to God, the Ultimate Truth and Life for ALL people, then they are NOT born again at all and don't know God! Oh, they may know of Him and all about Him but they don't truly know Him! They have become universalists or pantheists but are not true Christians! Most "main stream" and Christian pop movements, have been deluded, deceived and brainwashed into accepting and practicing a form of political correctness that causes them to shun and even demonize the truth and often disparage those Christians bold enough to still proclaim and 'contend earnestly' for Jesus! Many "ministries" and brainwashed/deceived Christians today have been conditioned to reject a direct and "harsh" message and have no discernment left within themselves to know truth from error. Most modern Christians are clueless as to the urgency and the dangers in these last of the last days and many have unconsciously become mockers of those who do discern and know just what critical time we are in. Many evangelical Christians have been brainwashed into thinking that we must not be involved in political issues and discussion, leading to analyzation, righteous judgment, and the free expression of Christian and biblical precepts to the church and to our nation. God's prophetic Word reveals these truths but most of the evangelical church has been deceived and deluded into prefering not to know or to apply biblical Truth but rather are more eager to fit into the world (political correctness = spirit of Antichrist) and eliminate "controversial" biblical and spiritual discernments.
And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
John: 8:32
(Americans: prepare yourself, as our government has taken a hard left. Biblical Christianity could soon become illegal and criminal, not to mention any kind of dissent against the government. Websites like this will probably soon be 'purged' (or filtered) from the internet. [Many apostate "christian" sects and movements will agree with the government and partner with the emerging world church of the 'beast'] If God allows it- so let it be. As a watchman, I will not stop proclaiming the truth, spiritual or otherwise. If free speech and telling the truth is to soon become criminal- then I am guilty! What a privilege!)
"We are told to love one another as Christ has loved us. Pop psychology trivializes that command by equating it with a 'positive' attitude. Forgotten is the first duty of love: to speak the truth (Ephesians 4:15). Real love does not flatter or soothe when correction is needed but [rather] points out the error which is blinding and harming the loved one. Christ said, 'As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten; be zealous therefore, and repent' (Revelation 3:19). Instead, the idea is now current that love excludes rebuke, ignores the truth, and seeks unity at any price. Only disaster can result." Dave Hunt
A.W. Tozer: "Among the gifts of the Spirit scarcely one is of greater practical usefulness than the gift of discernment. This gift should be highly valued and frankly sought as being almost indispensable in these critical times. This gift will enable us to distinguish the chaff from the wheat and to divide the manifestations of the flesh from the operations of the Spirit."

He loves you and He died so that you could know Him!
Introduction:
Though everyone is certainly welcome to read the articles on this web site, it is written primarily for the greater evangelical church, not for non-Christians. We do not expect, nor do we project that non-Christians are to adhere to Biblically based, Christian doctrines (Though our country's laws are heavily based upon biblical precepts). We preach and comment upon that which we strongly believe to be the truth however, we neither hate or look down upon, anyone. True Christians are commanded to love all people and that includes telling them the truth; especially the Truth about Jesus and His Word! This site is primarily directed to open the spiritual eyes of evangelicals who need to repent and be restored to Jesus and His Word and those articles are listed first here to the left. Underneath those articles are subjects that most evangelicals avoid and scoff at concerning the root sources of the attacks and deceptions that now plague the evangelical church and the whole world. As prophesied, "savage wolves" (and their lies) have thoroughly infiltrated the flock! We document the major powerful occult and "religious" organizations (their beliefs and practices) that are now ushering in the "New World Order," (aka: government of the Antichrist) at break-neck speed, as Bible prophecy is being fulfilled before our very eyes. Later articles on the list, deal with how dangerous political decisions, policies and outright evil, are impacting our country spiritually, politically, ethically and socially. We also strongly believe in the original meaning of our Constitution, which is inspired heavily by and grounded upon God's laws and precepts. Many modern leftist, ungodly politicians and judges have imposed revisionist, anti-American, un-Constitutional; legislation, interpretations and rulings of the Constitution upon us, while mainline Christendom just sat on it's hands and yawned. Many evangelicals have developed an allergy to biblicaly based, spiritual conviction, so it is no wonder that most Christians are apathetic when it comes to demanding that the original, biblical roots of our Constitution be upheld.
Have you been conditioned to only receive a “sweet” and “easy” word that always needs to make you "feel good” about your self? Christians: are you truly following Jesus or are you bowing to a man-made “system”, “formula” or are you idolizing and following some church or leader instead of Jesus? Is obtaining worldly "success" and materialism your real gods? The hour is extremely late, prophetically speaking. Most of the church wants to have their ears “tickled” with what they want to hear, which is why God wants us to be direct concerning the sin and apostasy that has infected most of the church.
Examine yourself for a moment and answer truthfully if you believe that peace, tranquility and unity must be maintained above all. If you believe that that is true then you don't know the real Jesus of the Bible. Yes, we are to "be at peace with all men "as is possible" BUT if you reject all controversy and must have universal "harmony" and "unity" so that you can maintain "peace" at all costs, then you must not read or know the Gospels very well. Our intention must not be to intentionally upset people but the preaching of the authentic Gospel will cause people inside and especially outside the church to become upset and even downright hostile. Hatred of Bible-believing Christians is pandemic right now and many cultural "christians" are distancing themselves away from the "fundamentalists" (true Bible believers) because they don't want to be rejected by the world! Major pop movements are now marginalizing and even demonizing authentic Bible believers because we are "divisive." They don't even know the scriptures, let alone understand them because if they did they would know that the REAL Gospel does divide and offend many people. If you have never experienced this yourself, perhaps you are not really a Christian? If you reject Jesus in this way- He will also reject you. If Jesus was violently rejected and persecuted, how can you possibly expect to always be in a state of "nirvana." Jesus promises us that "all who are in Christ Jesus WILL suffer persecution. Today that mostly takes on very subtle forms but is increasingly overt and hostile. Yes, we can simultaneously suffer and be at peace in Christ but to reject the Truth in order to maintain a FALSE religious "peace," is NOT godly or biblical at all but merely the creating of "reality." It is tantamount to idolatry because such persons place maintaining "peace and unity" above Christ and His Word. If you can discern these things in yourself or your church, you are commanded by God's Word to PRAY, repent, intercede for others, and in Jesus marvelous name; bind the evil that has gripped our church, our country, and our world (spiritual warfare through prayer and taking biblical authority over evil!).
A VOICE CRYING FROM THE WILDERNESS... PROCLAIMING:
PREPARE YE THE WAY OF THE LORD!
THE GREAT DAY OF THE LORD IS CLOSER THAN YOU THINK!!!
OUR LORD JESUS AND HIS APOSTLES WARNED US EXPRESSLY ABOUT WHAT THE BODY OF CHRIST WOULD GO THROUGH IN THESE LAST DAYS:
Let no one deceive or beguile you in any way, for that day will not come except the apostasy comes first [unless the predicted great falling away of those who have professed to be Christians has come], and the man of lawlessness (sin) is revealed, who is the son of doom (of perdition [the Antichrist]).
2nd Thess. 2:3 Amplified
Realize that this next shocking BIBLE prophecy is the general description of the CHURCH in these last days:
SOUND THE TRUMPET IN THE CAMP!
We may be only months away in America from losing the right to preach the full Gospel of Christ as hate-filled, ( ie: 'Dobson editing radio show to avoid 'hate crimes' laws') Christian-hating groups in and out of government, work like demons to destroy our rights and label Biblical truths as "hate speech." WHERE ARE OUR EVANGELICAL "LEADERS"(whom so many idolize) AND WHY ARE SO FEW OF THEM, PREACHING SO LITTLE GOSPEL TRUTH WHEN SO MUCH OF THE CHURCH IS FALLING AWAY FROM THE LIFE-CHANGING POWER OF THE AUTHENTIC GOSPEL???
AMERICA WAS FOUNDED AS A CHRISTIAN NATION AND WITH ULTIMATE FERVOR, GOD IS NOW WARNING AMERICA AND ALL OF CHRISTENDOM TO REPENT OF HER GROSS SINS:
Many religious FRAUDS, CHARLATANS and DECEIVED CHRISTIANS (ie: APOSTATES & PRETENDERS), are preaching and spreading an APOSTATE MIXTURE of various kinds, which is preying upon a self-centered, self-indulgent, decadent and worldly, Western church. A christianized version of secular humanism dominates the evangelical church today. In some "evangelical" movements, the 'savage wolves' that Jesus and the Apostle Paul warned us about, are easily misleading and devouring the flock. Even formerly devout followers of Jesus are revising and using the Gospel to benefit themselves, while they pander to, justify, and VALIDATE, the worldly orientations and goals of most modern "evangelicals." "Prosperity, Success, Health, Wealth, and Status", have become major idols in most modern "evangelical" movements. Homage, ungodly respect, and deference, is often given and sometimes lavished upon the rich and "successful" in the church, who long to have "PROMINENCE among them." In some movements or denominations, this orientation (a spirit really) wrecks spiritual havoc, like a stealthy, demonic virus or 'Trojan Horse'.
In the "Faith Movement," this ungodly, worldly idolatry has actually been institutionalized. "Prosperity" doctrines are openly indulged, encouraged and glorified, even equating having "Prosperity" in every possible way, as being the major sign that a person is truly godly and "blessed" by God (a warped, modern version of hyper-Calvinism, which is also a demonic inspiration derived by twisting and distorting the scriptures). A spirit of entitlement to God's blessing, and a focus upon "what can God do for me" or even worse, a distortion of: what "blessings" believers are "promised" and can expect, CLAIM and DEMAND from God (the effect of christian humanism on steroids [ie: when human thoughts and desires become the focus, instead of God, as embodied in the "Name-it-and-claim-it" heresy] a man-centered "gospel"). GOD CLEARLY WANTS US TO 'SEEK HIS FACE AND NOT HIS HAND,' which means that God wants us to want Him, love Him, and obey Him, above ALL, and not to be motivated by what temporal (worldly) blessings we can obtain from Him.
Many other "evangelicals" just want enough religion to make them feel a bit more pious and to assuage their guilt by paying homage or tribute through a religious institution, which makes "points" with God (in their own warped minds). In reality, they have created a designer religion that conforms to their thoughts and desires. They may have a certain level of 'belief' in God but they do not know Him.
Does God want to bless us? YES, but in accordance with HIS will and HIS Word. When a person is led by His Spirit, God shows you (spiritually) how to pray and what to pray for. As long as we are walking with Jesus in HIS Spirit and in HIS Truth, He has promised to lead us in every way and show us what to pray for in Faith! Yes, He promises to meet our needs as we trust Him but He gets insulted when we treat Him as though He were some kind of cosmic Santa Claus, whom we can command to meet our selfish wants and desires.
There is a spiritually perverse, demonic 'virus,' a stealthy Gospel destroyer, now present covertly in most "evangelical" movements, and is supercharged and overtly embraced and taught by the "Word/ Faith Movement preachers. This strain of heresy IS the very height of the apostasy (militantly, brazenly, arrogantly 'falling away' from the Truth of the Gospel), prophesied in the Bible. Many of the preachers in this movement, arrogantly, aggressively, even violently preach doctrines of demons and mix it in with the Gospel! Some of them have even had the audacity to call themselves "gods", which is exactly what Jesus warned us would happen in the last days.
Consumately deceived pretenders and charlatan's words and bizarre antics, are INCREASING the hatred toward ALL born-again Christians. This is not a word that endears us to those in these compromised "christian" movements, which is why many of us are 'crying from the wilderness' (and cyber-space). The sad truth is that these apostate adepts are modern Simons, posers and imposters who peddle and purvey their private, unbiblical interpretations of scripture. Are there modern day Christians who genuinely operate in the gifts of the Spirit? OF COURSE!
Christian-haters abound and love to label us ALL as being "hateful, crazy, bigots" because some of us still believe in the true Gospel and the supreme Truth of God's Word. Hate towards Christians has become an acceptable sport worldwide, as we seem to be the only group (much like the Jews of 1930's Germany) not to deserve tolerance and constitutional rights. However, those Christians who display obvious bizarre religious behavior and who preach a FALSE and COUNTERFEIT form of Christianity, are inadvertently encouraging this kind of hatred and discrimination against all of us. Most of the "Faith Movement" TV "ministries," seem to be RELIGIOUSLY INSANE and project a CULTISH, FIERCE AND SELF-ENTITLED SUPERIORITY, which causes them to disparage anyone who dares to tell them the truth and call them to repentance! Many Bible-believing people believe (as I do) that there are several counterfeit streams of spiritual deception or 'apostasy' (def: a militant falling away from true, biblical Faith in Jesus and His Word, and the application thereof) within the greater evangelical church today, which is what the Apostle Paul warned us would have to come before Jesus would return.
Neo-evangelicals, (compare to the term "neo-con", meaning of "neo" also as being false or phony, I use interchangeably with 'pseudo-evangelical') dominate the evangelical church today, whose beliefs are grounded more in humanist psychology, the idolization of certain "leaders", and pop philosophy than in the Bible. Extremely subtly, they act and believe that their faith is mostly about projecting the right "POSITIVE IMAGE", resulting in an acceptable (self-righteous) PEDIGREE; whose religious, hypocritical snobbery, also offends most non-believers and all genuine followers of Jesus. They tend to practice a "christianized" form of political correctness. I also call them "MUPPIES", Modern Urban Pharisees, as many of them closely resemble "christianized" versions of 'yuppies'. Muppies think and behave like varying types of neo-Calvinists; believing and behaving as though their particular "superior" lot in life, is because they have been especially "chosen" by God, as opposed to those of "lesser classes." This type may even read the Bible but can't fully understand it, let alone apply it because they don't have the Holy Spirit, Who makes the scriptures come alive in us. Their services tend to resemble slick infomercials, (or Spirit-less dead religion) as many pseudo-churches strive to copy the newest style of "doing church," rather than striving to please, love, and worship Jesus, in SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH!

Welcome!
If you've not already realized it, this is a 'tough love' discernment site, primarily written for evangelicals of all walks and denominations. It is an open 'wake up call' to repent of a rising tide of erroneous teaching and doctrines found in the greater evangelical church today. IT IS NOT A SITE FOR THE FAINT OF HEART OR THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN "PEACE AT ANY COST" OR THAT 'CHRISTIAN LOVE' MEANS NEVER CONFRONTING OTHERS OR "JUDGING" CHRISTIAN MINISTRIES; THEIR FRUITS AND THEIR BELIEFS! IF WE DON'T DISCERN AND IDENTIFY GROSS ERROR WITHIN THE BODY OF CHRIST IN THESE LAST DAYS, WE WILL BE LED ASTRAY! WE ARE COMMANDED TO "MARK THEM" (identify as kindly as possible) THOSE WHO PREACH AND TEACH DANGEROUS HERESY! This ministry thoroughly believes that we are in the last of the last days of the church age and that the extreme apostasy (falling away from the truth of the Gospel, the Bible, and godly principles that undergird our freedoms and liberties) is now cresting, as Satan begins his final assault against the bride of Christ and the ultimate de-humanization and destruction of MOST of mankind. WE ARE COMPELLED TO PROCLAIM THIS OUT OF SINCERE LOVE FOR JESUS, HIS WORD, AND ANYONE WHO HAS 'EARS TO HEAR'. WE PRAY THAT ALL WHO CLAIM HIM AS SAVIOR AND ARE CONVICTED BY THESE WORDS WILL REPENT OF THEIR SINS AND BE RESTORED! WE CONDEMN NO ONE! GOD'S SAVING GRACE IS AVAILABLE TO EVERYONE
SHOULD WE AND MAJOR MINISTRIES LIKE 'DECEPTION IN THE CHURCH', EXPOSE ERRANT MINISTERS AND THEIR FALSE TEACHINGS? IS IT BIBLICAL AND NECESSARY TO DO SO? How is it that we are in one accord with ministries such as 'Deception in the Church,' Dave Hunt, 'Pawcreek', John Ankerberg, and many others? (I am not saying that they agree with everything that we state) We do address the major streams of deception, heresy and apostasy, which have ushered in the dominating "doctrines" and dogmas, which are DESTROYING evangelical Christendom today. In obedience to God's Word, we identify the erroneous doctrines and many of the teachers of those doctrines.
Most Christians and ministries, are clueless to the fact that many churches, denominations, and entire popular movements are in the depths of falling away (definition of "apostasy") from the Truth and power of the Gospel and is instead embracing evil doctrines that will merge all religions under one evil consortium under the coming Antichrist. For more documentation, please read some of these articles from the website: 'Deception in the Church.'
Can true Christian 'salt and light' still be found in groups of believers? Are there churches that strive to truly worship Jesus in Spirit and in Truth? Hopefully yes, but those devoted Christians and ministries are under increasing spiritual attack from the world and even from within what may call itself the "church." Some believe that "the Christian church in America has become largely irrelevant," says professor, judge, minister and author Earl A. Clampett Jr. "It has lost its salt and light. It has surrendered its witness to the world at large." We may be only months away in America from losing the right to preach the full Gospel of Christ. Please read the following scriptures, which continue the basis of this website ministry:
John Ankerberg Ministries is one of two major ministries that God has used to inspire this ministry (Dave Hunt being the other) to pursue Biblical Truth and apply it to our time.
This video (and it's whole series) fully captures the vital Truth that the church and the world need to hear about these last days:
At the end of this video, other Ankerberg videos and other ministries' videos are available for viewing.
God's Truth, His Presence; the simplicity, beauty, and power of following and abiding IN Jesus, has been lost in most churches. The precious Oil of the Holy Ghost is in great shortage in the church because people are forsaking Jesus and His marvelous Word and replacing Jesus with their own selfish agendas, formulas, schemes and idols! Half-baked, Spirit-less converts cannot go forth and make disciples as Jesus commands us to.
AND YOU SHALL KNOW THE TRUTH, AND THE TRUTH SHALL MAKE YOU FREE. John 8:32
JESUS SAID TO HIM, "I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE. NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH ME." John 14:6
But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction...By covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words... II Peter 2:1-3
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Matt 7:15
For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Acts 20:29
...BREAK UP THE FALLOW GROUND for it is time to seek the Lord, till He comes... Hosea 10:12
"Christ calls men to carry a cross; we call them to have fun in His name.... He calls them to holiness; we call them to a cheap and tawdry happiness that would have been rejected with scorn by the least of the Stoic philosophers... The contemporary moral climate does not favor a faith as tough and fibrous as that taught by our Lord and His apostles. The delicate, brittle saints being produced in our religious hothouses today are hardly to be compared with the committed, expendable believers who once gave their witness among men. And the fault lies with our leaders. They are too timid to tell the people all the truth. They are now asking men to give to God that which costs them nothing.
Our churches are filled (or one-quarter filled) with a soft breed of Christian that must be fed on a diet of harmless fun to keep them interested. About theology they know little. No wonder their moral and spiritual constitution is so frail. Such can only be called weak adherents of a faith they never really understood."
A. W. Tozer (via The Christian Expositor)
"Truth becomes the sacrifice:
When absolutism is out, and relativism is in;
When obedience is out, and pragmatism is in;
When teaching is out, and dialogue is in;
When thus saith the Lord is out, and consensus of opinion is in; When using Scripture to judge right and wrong is out, and unity with tolerance at all costs is in; When the narrow way is out, and the broad way is in." (Tamara Hartzell, In The Name of Purpose: Sacrificing Truth on the Altar of Unity) found at: Berit Kjos ministry site

Though this web site constitutes an open call to repentance for the greater evangelical body of believers, we must first proclaim the tremendous grace and forgiveness that is available to all of those who repent of their sins, compromises, and idols, and who then seek, and follow Jesus. The supernatural grace, love, transformation power, and Presence of God, has been lost in most churches. The real power of the Gospel (Jesus) completely changes a person from the inside out. Very little of this kind of spiritual Jesus power is found in churches that systematically compromise His Truth, disobey the Lord and His Word and thus quench the work of the Spirit of God in their midst. It is impossible to please God without simple faith and truly walk with Him without knowing Him THROUGH HIS SPIRIT AND HIS TRUTH! For those who are already offended by this as being "judgmental, critical, unloving or unchristian," please read what the Bible teaches concerning how Christians MUST judge RIGHTEOUSLY and discern truth from error. This includes identifying the error and those who teach the error.
To any Christian with the least bit of spiritual discernment, much of what is being preached today (let alone practiced), constitutes a mixture of man-made philosophy, marketing and either a complete neglect and understanding of the scriptures OR the practice of using hand-picked scriptures, which they then twist and overly accentuate to fit their particular brand of designer christianity (the erroneous; make no judgments/ positive only "gospel" predominates most of evangelical Christendom that is in error today). However, there are major and popular, "evangelical christian" movements and denominations that are preaching a completely DIFFERENT, NEW AGE "gospel." My plea is to evangelicals who should know better than to fall for counterfeit christianity and unbiblical doctrines, in any form. The most dangerous and self indulgent movement of all is known as the "Word of Faith Movement." Both of these dangerous infectious strains in Christendom, mix in their counterfeit, New Age mystical doctrines with biblical, Christian doctrines, which makes them particularly stealthy and dangerous.
"I am surprised and astonished that you are so quickly turning renegade and deserting Him Who invited and called you by the grace (unmerited favor) of Christ (the Messiah) [and that you are transferring your allegiance] to a different [even an opposition] gospel. Not that there is [or could be] any other [genuine Gospel], but there are [obviously] some who are troubling and disturbing and bewildering you [with a different kind of teaching which they offer as a gospel] and want to pervert and distort the Gospel of Christ (the Messiah) [into something which it absolutely is not].
But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to and different from that which we preached to you, let him be accursed (anathema, devoted to destruction, doomed to eternal punishment)! As we said before, so I now say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel different from or contrary to that which you received [from us], let him be accursed (anathema, devoted to destruction, doomed to eternal punishment)!" Galatians 1:6-9 Amplified

FIVE MAJOR DISTORTIONS FOUND IN APOSTATE CHURCHES:
First, the church is a place where all must feel welcome. This is what Jesus taught.
Second, anything that causes disharmony in the church goes against what Jesus wants for the church and must be avoided.
Third, since doctrine is divisive, we must de-emphasize this and emphasize things that bring harmony.
Forth, the focus of Jesus in the New Testament was love and unity. Jesus prayed that his disciples would all be in unity. Paul said the greatest of all things was love. These things bring harmony into the church.
Fifth, therefore we must focus on these two things above all else, love and unity

The Apostle Paul DID NOT PREACH: "Health and wealth" or "self esteem" psychology; he did not hire slick performers to appeal to their worldly senses nor assuage their guilt to make them feel good; Paul did not preach "seed faith" or any other kind of "faith formula", nor did he focus upon money at all. Paul definitely didn't preach that there must be peace and unity in the church AT ANY COST! Paul also didn't go door to door polling the populace as to what kind of religion they might be willing to participate in ("Christian marketing" as created by Bill Hybels and Willow Creek). Robert Shuller heavily influenced Rick Warren and Bill Hybels and their brands of pop-designer, seeker Christianity. Former New Age guru claims that Shuller has shamelessly aligned himself with New Age gurus and their philosophies and are now staging a consortium to further "rethink" (PERVERT AND COMPROMISE EVEN MORE) the Gospel. Warren Smith says:
"From my perspective as a former New Age follower, I believe that Robert Schuller's mission has always been to 'rethink' and 'change' biblical Christianity into something 'new' – as in New Age/New Spirituality," he says."
Paul DID NOT COMPROMISE GOD'S WORD! Paul did not hold back preaching the Word of God for fear of offending "seekers" and pagans but rather preached GOD'S WORD (JESUS the Revealed Word of God) and God anointed his message with great power! Paul preached Christ Jesus, through the power of the Holy Ghost! Paul suffered greatly for the privelege to preach to the lost of his day and was betrayed by many. Paul didn't preach in order to start a pop movement and yet his preaching changed lives and the whole world forever. The Apostle Paul would be thrown out of most modern churches today because most of them have fallen away from the Truth of the one and only Gospel and would not receive a preacher like Paul! Most modern "professional clergy" defer to the rich and affluent families within their churches, in order to keep their "careers". Paul confronted people with God's Truth! He even had to rebuke the Apostle Peter TO HIS FACE, IN FRONT OF OTHER BELIEVERS (how "embarrassed and belittled" Peter must have felt)! (Galations 2:11) Knowing this, how could we possibly take license to pervert the Gospel into an instrument of personal gain and self-egrandisement or add and change it in any way? How could we forsake to call those to repentance and to expose error and even evil amongst us, if even an apostle who walked with Jesus was not beyond rebuke and correction? Peter later praised Paul's teaching in his epistle: 2 Peter 3:15-17
Jesus intimates that He IS the ultimate Truth, and Life and that there is no other way to God except through HIM because Jesus is the full embodiment of God. This statement is as controversial today as it was when He revealed just who He is. Christians must not be intimidated for believing this core doctrine of Christ. We must lovingly contend for the Truth of the Gospel. That is why that we MUST confront and expose: grossly unbiblical teaching, superstition disguised as doctrine, as well as neo-gnosticism and mysticism in the church. Not to mention Jungian and various types of psychology disguised as Christian therapy and doctrine. Psychology and forms of psychotherapy have eclipsed biblical counseling, prayer, and spiritual deliverance in most evangelical churches, as the authentic power and authority of God has either been lost or abandoned in most churches.
Strong delusion ( COUNTERFEIT CHRISTIANITY, as prophesied by Jesus and His Apostles) has brainwashed (bewitched) many in the greater evangelical church, which makes identifying dangerous error- even apostasy and those who proclaim it, an unpleasant calling. FOUR WAYS EVANGELICALS ARE BEING DECEIVED
It is "politically incorrect" these days to identify well known, even famous ministers who practice or preach dangerously erroneous doctrines- BUT it is totally BIBLICAL and necessary to LOVINGLY call those who preach grievous error- even a different gospel, to repentance. Especially those who operate in a FALSE ANOINTING, who are identified easily by how much they brag about how "anointed" they are and how they dwell upon spiritual manifestations to validate their "ministries"! Other discernment ministries call these spiritual manifestations of the 'Counterfeit Revival'. MANY ARE EASILY OFFENDED WHEN THEIR PARTICULAR SACRED COW OR IDOL IS "GORED." Paul compels discerners of the God's Word to:
"...MARK THEM which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which we have learned: and AVOID THEM. For they that are such serve NOT our Lord Jesus Christ but their own belly; and BY GOOD WORDS AND FAIR SPEECHES DECEIVE THE HEARTS OF THE SIMPLE!" Romans 16:17,18
I realize that the first impression that most evangelicals will have of this site is "if you proclaim that Christians rightly should focus on Jesus, why are you so fixed upon judging others, speculating about conspiracies of evil and even openly criticizing political leaders?"
The most deeply held, yet unspoken religion found in today's "evangelical" churches, is based upon a complete perversion of scripture: "judge not lest ye be judged." This has been translated in the modern church as "don't judge anyone," although when we are also commanded to JUDGE RIGHTEOUSLY (CONDEMNING NO ONE)! 'RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENT' AND 'CONDEMNATION' ARE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT from each other! Modern "positivism", the forerunner of political correctness, does not recognize a difference between righteous judgment and condemnation or judgmentalism, which is a preoccupation of making erroneous judgments, which is also prevelant in the church body today. Political correctness (hyper-judgmentalism and condemnation designed to bring society into bondage) is a major front of the spirit of Antichrist, which is particularly at war against Christ and His true followers. Bible-believing, Jesus-loving, obedient Christians MUST lovingly stand up for the truth because the "Emergent Church" is quickly becoming DANGEROUSLY 'Universalist Unitarian' in thought and deed.
This site constitutes an open call to repentance for the greater Evangelical church- a call to Biblical orthodoxy, particularly love and devotion to Jesus! We utilize spiritual and Biblical discernment and believe that all that we state here is righteous, biblical judgment, not condemnation. We withdraw our love from no one, which doesn't mean that we accept their sinful, and/or idolatrous lifestyles. There is a distinct difference between righteous judgment and condemnation. We condemn no one, nor seek to denigrate anyone. WE LOVE EVERYONE, AND ARE COMMANDED TO BE KIND TO ALL PEOPLE BECAUSE WE BELIEVE AND PREACH THE SINCERE TRUTH OF THE GOSPEL!
We address many heresies now present in the greater evangelical church. This apostasy within the church is not a new thing, nor is the need to identify it and address it directly, as did the Apostle Paul throughout all of his epistles.
Are there current popular ministries, doctrines and belief systems being preached today, which constitute this kind of apostasy? Are many popular ministries mixing the real Gospel with other dangerous beliefs and doctrines? Have some ministries created a "different gospel" than the one that Paul preached? Our ministry is not the only one to proclaim that there is rampant apostasy within the church but please ask God to reveal it to you! The answer is the adherence to God's Word and complete obedience and loving abandon to Jesus! Any preaching or teaching that is motivated to appease or please mankind is NOT pleasing to God:
Now am I trying to win the favor of men, or of God? Do I seek to please men? If I were still seeking popularity with men, I should not be a bond servant of Christ (the Messiah).
Galatians 1:10 (Amplified)
The scripture clearly proclaims that we are to know and preach the Truth without compromise and and are never to indulge in the worldly (PC) practice to please (not offend, pay homage, compromise core beliefs, tickle ears of) non-Christians and marginal believers.
Under the guise of a phony kind of "love" and "peace" at all costs, many evangelicals have been brainwashed through liberal preaching and even leftist ideology, to mindlessly patter their mantra: that we must "never judge" but that is NOT what the Bible teaches at all. Major portions of the New Testament are corrective in nature and correction is badly needed in the church. Jesus explicitly exposed sin and called people to repentance. Jesus particularly warned us as to how intense the falling away from the truth would be in the last days and we are called to preach His Truth.
