Soli Deo Gloria

Evangelism, The Church, The Gospel

As a false convert for over 20 years of my life I know the dangers first hand of the “sinner’s prayer” and the hellish teachings of “carnal Christianity” and the unBiblical phrases like “ask Jesus into your heart”. I too was told by many that since I repeated a prayer and was “in the club” that no matter how I lived my life I was still heaven bound. Salvation is not only from the penalty of sin but from the power of sin! Salvation is the product of being born again – being a new creation with a new heart and new desires and a God-given hatred for sin.

Friends of this blog, if you don’t watch a single video I have posted I urge you to watch this video. This man’s testimony is spot on. This will cause many to shudder and my prayer is that if you have trusted in a prayer, walking an isle and profess to be a Christian yet live a life of sin and love the world you need to examine yourself and cast yourself on the Savior Jesus Christ. If you are a pastor, teacher of evangelist who has watered down the gospel and holds to the hellish teaching of carnal Christianity I urge you to examine the Scriptures and repent.

“One reason why people with holy affections are given to holy practice is because what they seek is God Himself, solely for the excellency of who He is, and not whatever good uses or ends the knowledge of God might bring them. If a person seeks God only for the benefits He brings us, once those benefits disappear or fail to materialize, one’s hunger for God likewise diminishes. This is why gracious affections will enable men to persevere in the pursuit of godliness even when it is painful to do so. If the pursuit of godliness comes at great cost to a person’s comfort and private interests, the unregenerate will abandon the former for the sake of the latter. But he who loves God for God’s own sake will be so impelled by the beauty and excellency of His divine nature that no degree of trial or loss will impede him.”

Apostasy & Heresy, The Gospel

Are you trusting in yourself, in going to church, in good deeds or in giving to charity as a means to merit salvation before God?  If you are, did you know that Scripture says that these deeds are like filthy rags to God? (Isa. 64:6) God requires absolute perfection to enter heaven and only His righteousness will do. Do you have His righteousness? Please take a moment to listen to this outstanding video testimony of a young woman who was lost in the Roman Catholic teachings and then was saved by God through the full Gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Soli Deo Gloria!

Romans 9:26
“And in the very place where it was said to them, ‘You are not my people,’
there they will be called ’sons of the living God.’”

Philippians 3:3
For we are the circumcision, who worship by the Spirit of God and glory in Christ Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh—

In an age where the evangelical church today focuses more on humanism than the true Gospel, Paul Washer’s brief message below is a stark warning to all professing believers.  May we truly come to an understanding of just what “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” truly means.  (Rom. 3:23)

Please watch…  this is so true, and so heartbreaking knowing that this is the problem of American Christianity today….

Churches divide over carpet color, building additions and budgets.  In the meantime, our fellow church members are going to hell by the boat load.

A.W. Tozer said, “It is my opinion that tens of thousands of people, if not millions, have been brought into some kind of religious experience by accepting Christ, and they have not been saved.”

D. James Kennedy said, “The vast majority of people who are members of churches in America today are not Christians.  I say that without the slightest contradiction.  I base it on empirical evidence of twenty-four years of examining thousands of people.”

Friend, we argue over so many petty things.  May I suggest we have lost sight of the most important debate of all, “What is salvation?”  My theology teaches that salvation happens when a man repents and places his trust in Jesus Christ (Acts 20:21).
