NBC interview on Momonism.

The Mormon church has always taught that their church is the only true church on the face of the earth, and that there’s no salvation found outside their church. But as usual, a representative of the LDS church lies (in this interview to Matt Lower) to sugar coat what they really believe. He claims that his church isn’t the only way, but simply an alternative.

Early Mormonism did everything it could to differentiate itself from authentic orthodox Christianity, including calling the Christian God the Mormon devil. Now Mormons are doing everything they can to look like, act like, and sound like Christians. It’s much easier to deceive people that way.

spurgeon-pic.jpg The devil has seldom done a cleverer thing than hinting to the church that part of their mission is to provide entertainment for the people, with a view to winning them . . . providing amusement for the people is nowhere spoken of in the Scriptures as a function of the church . . . the need is for Biblical doctrine, so understood and felt that it sets men aflame.

– Charles H. Spurgeon

Paul Washer: Shocking Sermon.

image-4-14280 Paul Washer’s most shocking sermon and one of the most downloaded sermons on the internet. You can listen to it or download it by clicking here.

Paul Washer is the preacher for this generation. If you are not familiar with him I highly recommend this sermon to get acquainted with him. Be warned though, you will be challenged in your Christianity-as-usual.

Sola Scriptura (9)

 

bible-page.jpg But before faith came, we were kept in custody under the law, being shut up to the faith which was later to be revealed. Therefore the Law has become our tutor to lead us to Christ, so that we may be justified by faith.

The problem with youth ministry today: God’s Laxative? Because every Christian needs a spiritual bowel movement?

Here’s yet another perfect example of the dumbing down of holiness to “Christian” youth, and the blurring of the lines between right and wrong. This church produced this childish and even crude video to advertise a summer event for the youth where one of the actors acts like a homosexual.

Vodpod videos no longer available.

And if you thought that video was done in bad taste, you should (if you can bare it) see the following video this same church produced. In this particular video they somehow thought flatulence, diarreah, and other bowel movement issues was just what a lost and dying world–going to Hell–needs to hear. The name of the video alone should be enough “fruit” for you to “judge” that there is NOTHING Christian about this. (That’s right, I said judge. And inevitably there will be some people more upset about that, than the content of these videos).

The title of this awful video is: “G-Lax: God’s Laxative.“ If you’re one of those who actually needs to taste the “fruit” before making a judgment, then watch the video.

Vodpod videos no longer available.

tozer.jpg Christianity is so entangled with the world that millions never guess how radically they have missed the New Testament pattern. Compromise is everywhere. The world is whitewashed just enough to pass inspection by blind men posing as believers.

How Revolutiuon Church views the disciples.

Remember the church that brought you the God Sex abomination? Their four-week sermon series this past summer had such sermon titles as:

July 08 – Seven Minutes in Heaven [**Sex Party**]

July 15 – Stripped Bare

July 22 – Leather, Whips, and Whipped Cream.

July 29 – What Happens in Vegas Doesn’t Stay in Vegas

Well, they’re back once again to prove that the very idea of sacredness, reverence and holiness is still non-existent in their social club. This Sunday pastor David Trotter will be teaching about the disciples.

But for those in his “church” that would be bored to tears (I mean really, teaching from the Bible is so archaic) fear not, because pastor Trotter has decided to spice it up a bit. Judging by the picture on his blog advertising the upcoming teaching, it is sure to be a hoot:

disciples.jpg

I mean who wouldn’t want to learn about the disciples when you superimpose the heads of Bart Simpson, Drew Carrey, Mr. T, Jim Carrey and Dr. Phil on their cartoon bodies?

I (still) urge you pastor Trotter, please consider what you are doing. Quit trying to gain the approval of men. I truly fear for you. Please consider that the very God and His things that you show so little respect for is the very God who holds your life in His hands. The very One who has power to destroy both body and soul in hell. Please repent of this and return to the teaching of the Bible without all this adolescent silliness. God will not be mocked. Your very soul hangs in the balance. It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God that you treat so flippantly and irreverently.
