And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.

Can't Vote For Romney

By Pastor Don Elmore

February 26, 2012

Scripture Reading:  Galatians 1:6-9

“The Church of Jesus Christ Latter Day Saints is unique among all the religious cults and sects active in the United States in that it has by far the most fascinating history, and one worthy of consideration by all students of religions originating on the American continent. 

The Mormons, as they are most commonly referred to, are divided into two major groups.  The Church of Jesus Christ Latter Day Saints, Utah, and The Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ Latter Day Saints, with headquarters in Independence, Missouri” The Kingdom of the Cults, Walter Martin, p. 147, have a combined membership of close to 15,000,000.

False Brethren

by Pastor Mark Downey

February 19, 2012

Scripture Reading: Galatians 2:4

This subject needs its own sermon, especially in light of what we’ve been talking about lately regarding the church world as well as our own movement.  The phrase ‘false brethren’ is only found twice in the New Testament and I’d like to give a richer understanding of what these personalities entail.  We’ve heard of false prophets, false apostles, false witnesses and false teachers, but what exactly constitutes false brethren?  The mainstream churches have terribly desecrated the biblical meaning of the word “brother” with a Masonic substitute, ‘the brotherhood of man’, implying a restoration of a multicultural Babylon.  And indeed, Mystery Babylon is infested with brethren who are not true to their own race and the ancestral faith of their fathers.

And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof.   Romans 13:11-14

Why We Are Where We Are

Part 4

by Robert McCurry

 

Pastors are to be a ‘watchman on the wall’

watch n. = The act of watching; forbearance of sleep; vigil; wakeful, vigilant, or constantly observant attention; close observation; guard; preservative or preventive vigilance; formerly, a watching or guarding by night; to be attentive or vigilant; to give heed; to be on the lookout; to keep guard; to act as sentinel.

Ezekiel 3 17Son of man, I have made thee a watchman: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.

Ezekiel 33 1Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

2Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman:

Judeo-Christianity

by Pastor Don Elmore

February 12, 2012

Scripture reading:  I Thessalonians 2:14-16

Have you ever wondered about the hyphenated words:  “Judeo-Christian” or “Judeo-Christianity?”  Can you find these terms in the Bible?  Does it mean that Christianity owes its existence to Judaism?  That Christianity came out or is a splinter group of Judaism.  Was Jesus Christ a Jew?  Were the Apostles Jews?  Were the early churches Jews?  Isn’t that what is implied by the hyphen?

Universalism On Trial - Part 3

by Pastor Mark Downey

February 5, 2012

Scripture Reading:  Matthew 13:35-43

Have you ever wondered what the world would be like if there weren’t any lies?  A world where truth is the only way.  Bearing false witness would no longer be a means to an end.  From the time a child is able to walk, the programming and processing has begun, whereby they are lied to and it continues throughout their lives in school, churches, government and media.  There are some who escape the matrix of deceptions and become knowledgeable of the truth, but they dare not speak out lest they be persecuted.  The rest of society lives in this ocean of disinformation.  Since the majority of people believe in the prevailing body of lies, they assume that it is the truth.  And hence, they make important life decisions that are all too often disastrous. 

The trial against universalism will resume momentarily, but we shall keep a few things in mind before the closing remarks of the defense and the prosecution.  The biggest enemy of mankind is time.  James 4:14 says, “You don’t know what will happen tomorrow.  What is your life?  It is a vapor that appears for awhile and then vanishes.”  It is not within the power of all the creatures whom God has made to command one moment of what is to be the future.  Our times are not in our own hands, but at the discretion of God.  Our minds may be filled with the cares of this life and Providence will often confuse it.  We are made in His image and all that we do and design intelligently must be done in humble submission to the God of intelligent design.  God can and does place deterrents upon those who would boast that something is in their authority or of their own ability.  God alone can keep us from our own devices and make our plans prosper when they are in accord with His will.  “Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.”
