Don’t You Dare Even To Omit A Word, Any Denier Of The Truth! Series

DON’T YOU DARE EVEN TO OMIT A WORD, ANY WHO WOULD DENY THE TRUTH!

[1]. INTRODUCTION

Some events in the Christian world cause me distress when I learn of them for there are too many practices that are downright dishonouring to God. Those of you who listen to me or read what I write will know I stand very firmly against the misappropriation of God’s truth.

We are living in the last days of the Church age before the Lord comes back to take His Bride home. These days are not the time to fool around with God. We need to be committed, dedicated, and honest no matter what are the circumstances. This cuts two ways. The first is its application to every believer, and the second is its serious application to the preacher/teacher/instructor of the bible.

Far too many in the western world just float along in a superficial way, happy with their status quo and oblivious to the real issues in the world. Recently I am hearing of the great atrocities in Nigeria against Christians with a great slaughter at the hands of the worst satanic organisation in history; that of Islam. Just today I was listening to, and watching the awful plight of Christians in Iraq, hunted down by ISIS. In so many parts of the world there is great suffering borne by our fellow believers, and too many in the comfortable and lukewarm west; the complacent west, don’t seem to care. Christians in India also know great persecution.

Very difficult times will come and it will be at the hands of Islam and Socialism/Marxism. Those who are astute will know of the increasing trouble you have in your nations if you live in the United States, Australia and Europe. You see trouble boiling in your nations. Paul outlines just a few conditions of our age, the last days – {{2Timothy 3:1-4 “Realise this, that IN THE LAST DAYS DIFFICULT TIMES WILL COME, for men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God.”}}

I will just give a few distressing attitudes of ones I know.

1. There was an Anglican priest a person approached because he was having great personal problems and really needed counseling. The priest asked if he had an appointment, and when the answer was no he was told, “Go and make an appointment time to see me.”

2. I know too many who are watering down the milk of the word and adulterating it. They embrace liberalism and openly support homosexuality from the pulpits because they do not believe the word of God. Very severe will be their punishment in the lake of fire.

3. Enormous damage is being done to the free gospel and the true gospel and the gospel of grace by those known as “word of faith preachers”. They are ripping off gullible and desperate Christians promising them wealth and health in exchange for money, while they themselves have mansions worth millions of dollars and personal planes and all the comforts of deception. These belong to Satan. I will name a few of them and it is likely some will stop reading this message but let us be true to the bible, not to greed and Satan’s mutilation. I will give just 5 of the better known ones – Benny Hinn, Joyce Meyer, Joel Osteen, Kenneth Copeland and Creflo Dollar. There is actually a huge list of them, all saturated with the greed of Balaam.

{{Jude 1:10-13 “These men revile the things which they do not understand, and like unreasoning animals, they are destroyed by these things which they know by instinct. Woe to them for they have gone the way of Cain, and for pay they have rushed headlong into the error of Balaam, and perished in the rebellion of Korah. These men are those who are hidden reefs in your love feasts when they feast with you without fear, caring for themselves; clouds without water carried along by winds; autumn trees without fruit doubly dead, uprooted; wild waves of the sea casting up their own shame like foam; wandering stars for whom the black darkness has been reserved forever.”}}

Some men in church positions and in the pulpits are so concerned about finances being down, and their own salaries not being paid, that they water down the word preached so it will not give offence to anyone. They avoid the matters of personal behaviour and like one church I know, neglect preaching on relationships because some are in a extra-marital relationships and if the word was preached correctly, then they night leave the church. This is cowardice; a deliberate decision to deny the Lord in the matter of faithfulness. The truth of God’s word must be upheld.
