Preaching Against False Teachers
Nov 20
Evidently it would be better for those teachers, seminarians, and others who espouse errors such as humanism, evolution, and other false concepts, that a millstone were hanged about their necks, and that they were drowned in the depth of the sea than to lead astray those “little ones” in their influence.
Perilous Times and God’s Sure Word
Sep 07"This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come." (2 Timothy 3:1) These sobering words introduce the last message of the apostle Paul just before his martyrdom. Instead of the world being converted to Christ and getting better and better as the gospel goes out around the world, "evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived" (2 Timothy 3:13).
The Graffiti of God’s Judgment
Jun 12
In Daniel's case, when God's truth was excluded, God decided to "crash" the party. In doing so, God taught an unusual lesson about mankind's accountability for extra-biblical truth. The lesson requires a bit of Aramaic philology (word study), but it sheds light on the academic and governmental politics of today's creation science controversies.
When God Says, “Leave Him Alone”
May 13
Our God is long-suffering and full of mercy, but there is a line which must not be crossed. It is dangerous to presume that God will always continue to forgive; He can become a "consuming fire" (Hebrews 12:29). The leaders of Ephraim (a collective term for the ten northern tribes of Israel) had passed this point of no return. They had become completely infatuated with the pantheistic polytheism of the nations, being "joined" to their symbolic models of natural forces and all the immoral practices which accompanied such nature worship. The word for "joined" means "fascinated by." They had been brought so deeply under the occult powers behind these nature-god idols as to be irrevocably committed to them, so that it would be a waste of time and tears to try to reclaim them now.
Why not start at the beginning?
Oct 28
Mission organizations like New Tribes Mission, for instance, found a problem when presenting the gospel to many pagan cultures. At first, they thought they were reaching these people by telling them about Jesus and the message of the Cross. But after some time, they started to realize that these people did not understand the message at all. Commitments they thought they had did not turn out to be real.
