The Perfect Sermon Part 3

Scripture Reading:  I John 5:7-8

I’ve never picked an interpolation, a spurious addition to the biblical text, for the Scripture reading before, but a combination of things warrants a review of what should have been learned in church kindergartens when we learned to count with our fingers.  We have had some dynamic guest speakers in the last few weeks.  Dr. Blanchard said that America, for all intents and purposes, is dissolved and we can thank the apostate church prostituting itself for the almighty state.  And then, Pastor Brian Jones gave us a sermon about ‘Taking the Lord’s Name in Vain,’ which was much more than just cussing.  That Sunday, we sang the old hymnal ‘Holy, Holy, Holy’ containing the 3 in 1 gods of the iconic dogma of the Trinity with the lyrics “God in three persons, blessed Trinity.”  It’s ironic that another stanza says, “there is none beside Thee [in reference to Isaiah 45:6], Perfect in power.”  This song has always bothered me, because it’s based on the catholic lie and manmade invention of the Trinity, a word and concept that is not to be found anywhere in the Bible.

David's Family Life

Scripture Reading: Psalms 3:1-8

This Psalm was made when David was dethroned from being King of Israel by his own son--Absalom.  Absalom was David’s third son; so how did he get ahead of his brothers?  This story is all part of the bigger one—how David is different from all of the recent Presidents of our nation—the United States of America. 

Introduction

In the beginning of my ministry, I gave messages which covered the entire Biblical career of David, the King of Israel.  These sermons lasted for about four or five years; intermingled along with other sermons.  After I preached about David, I spent a couple of years on the biblical history of Elijah.  Then I spent another couple of years preaching on Genesis 1-11.

As I was about half-way through giving these messages concerning King David, I thought of the following question:  Who would like to trade places with David?   In other words, who would like to live their life as David?

Something to Think About

by Pastor Don Elmore

Roman Catholics are taught that the Pope is the Vicar of Almighty God.  But that is 6000 years too late; for the real Vicar of God was Adam, the father of our race.  He was created fully grown to carry out God's Will on the earth.  He was to rule over the other races; but he failed in the Garden when he sinned and now the Roman Catholics have raised up substitute Vicars.

It is similar to Judeo-Christianity; for the hyphenated word is an oxymoron.  Let's look at what Judaism says about this new religion!

The London Jewish World, 15 March 1923, quoted in The Truth at Last, Issue 337:  "Fundamentally, Judaism is anti-Christian."  The Judeo-Christians would like that statement to be:  "Fundamentally, Judaism is pro-Christian"; but it is not.   Rabbi Moshe M. Maggal (President, national Jewish Information Service:  "You will notice the great difference between the Jewish and Christian religions.  We consider the two religions so different that one excludes the other...we emphasize that there is no such thing as a Judeo-Christian religion...There is not any similarity between the two concepts.  Too bad Christians don't believe what the jews say!

The Wake-up Herald

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

My Mother's Fatal Song

by Pastor Don Elmore

Scripture Reading: Psalms 139:19-24

The Song My Mother Sang

I was born in 1942; my mother in 1913.  She would have turned 100 years old this year.  The Federal Reserve System went into effect in the last days of the year in which she came into this world.  What a sinful disaster this banking system has been!  But there was something else that happened the year that she was born and I want to tell you about it today.
