The Evils of Ecumenism

J.C. Ryle’s Sermon on Counterfeit Christianity (Formalism)

It is wonderfully liberating to know that our beloved God and Savior is not One to be appeased by rituals and traditions of men.

The Mush God

An excerpt from the book, Kingdom Authority by Adrian Rogers (pp. 112-113):

God forbid that we should be ashamed of the name of Jesus in the public arena. I’ve noticed that those who lecture much about pluralism in religion really don’t mean it. If they did, they would want a Christian to pray as a Christian prays, a Jew to pray as he normally prays, and a Buddhist to pray as he normally prays. What they call “pluralism” is really synchronism–a dumbing down and melding together of all religions. Author and columnist Nicholas von Hoffmann wrote these words:

The Mush God has been known to appear to millionaires on golf courses. He appears to politicians at ribbon-cutting ceremonies and to clergymen speaking the invocation on national television at either a Democratic or Republican convention.

The Mush God has no theology to speak of, being a cream of wheat divinity. The Mush God has no particular credo, no tenets of faith, nothing that would make it difficult for a believer and non-believer alike to lower one’s head when the temporary chairman tells us that “Reverend, Rabbi, Father, Mufti, or So-And-So will lead us in an innocuous, harmless prayer.” For this god at public occasions is not a jealous god. You can invoke him to start a hookers’ convention and he/she won’t be offended.

God of the Rotary, the Optimist Club, Protector of the Buddy System, the Mush God is the Lord of the secular, ritual, of the necessary, but hypocritical forms and formalities that hush the divisive and the derisive. The Mush God is a serviceable god whose laws are chiseled, not on tablets of stone, but written on sand, open to amendment, qualification, and erasure. This is a god who will compromise with you, make allowances and declare all wars holy, all peaces hallowed.

Liberty: To Walk in Holiness Unhindered

Sherry's avatarHe Hath Said

And I will walk at liberty: for I seek Thy precepts. -Psalm 119:45

Do you know what the liberty of a child of God is, dear friends, or are you all your lifetime subject to bondage? If you are a child of God, you do know something of it, but if you are not initiated into the mystery of the inner life, you will very probably confound liberty with license. The liberty of the man of the world is liberty to commit evil without restraint: the liberty of a child of God is to walk in holiness without hindrance. When the believer’s ways are enlarged, he delights to run in the statutes of the Lord; obedience is freedom to the Lord’s servant. Christ’s yoke is easy, and His burden is light. I fear that very many of you who are present this morning are slaves-some of you slaves to…

Catholics and Evangelicals: How Different Are We?

In this message from 2008, Evangelist Mike Gendron shows us the eight major differences between Catholics:

  1. A different Authority
  2. A different Bible

  3. A different Jesus

  4. A different Gospel

  5. A different view of sin

  6. A different order of salvation

  7. A different path to eternity

  8. A different faith

With each point, Gendron explains the Catholic position, compares it to the Bible, and shows us how we as Evangelicals can respond in truth and love. Armed with knowledge and Scripture, this message equips Evangelicals to share and defend their faith when evangelizing their Catholic friends and family.

 

 

 

Are YOU a “Christo-Pagan”?

A Bible verse Christians forget exists at Christmas and Easter:

“…abstain from things polluted by idols…” Acts 15:20

Note: we are to abstain from X Mass and Easter.

The blended religion comprised of ancient Sun-worship rituals sanctioned by and brought into Christian “Orthodoxy” by Roman emperor Constantine in the fourth century…An apostasy and abomination, nonetheless, remains the second most popular religion on Earth today. Are YOU a “Christo-Pagan”? Do YOU observe Sun-worship rituals? Christ Mass/ Ishtar/Astarte/Lent/Mardi-Gras/Halloween? If so…REPENT! ~ Gordon Kelse Furr

Are you following pagan practices and calling them holy?

I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last. Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may enter through the gates into the city. But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie. – Revelation 22:13-15

It is a snare for a man to devote rashly something as holy, and afterward to reconsider his vows. – Proverbs 20:25

On that day of judgment,” says the Lord, “I will punish the leaders and princes of Judah and all those following pagan customs. – Zephaniah 1:8
