Pastor's Heart
What's New?
Please visit our compilation of the Essentials of Christianity. It is extremely sad to me that these things even have to be posted. God's Word is very clear in these areas yet Satan's cults have flourished in this seemingly endlessly fertile ground we call America. Why do the cults flourish? Why are we as a society moving so far from God so quickly? Simple. The opposite of light is not darkness. Darkness is the absence of light.
We are slowly but surely removing God (the light) from our daily lives. Friends and fellow Saints, it is time to stand up for Christ. It is time to refuse to be luke-warm. It is time to read and study God's Word because, "It is written: 'Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.'" (Mat. 4:4)
Spread the "good news." It really is the best gift you can give.
Passages to consider:
Titus 3:9-11 - 9 But avoid foolish controversies and genealogies and arguments and quarrels about the law, because these are unprofitable and useless. 10 Warn a divisive person once, and then warn them a second time. After that, have nothing to do with them. 11 You may be sure that such people are warped and sinful; they are self-condemned.
There are those out there trying to divide the churches. Paul told us in Acts 20:30-31 that "30 Even from your own number men will arise and distort the truth in order to draw away disciples after them. 31 So be on your guard! Remember that for three years I never stopped warning each of you night and day with tears.
2 Tim. 2:14-17
14 Keep reminding God's people of these things. Warn them before God against quarreling about words; it is of no value, and only ruins those who listen. 15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth. 16 Avoid godless chatter, because those who indulge in it will become more and more ungodly. 17 Their teaching will spread like gangrene.
Jesus told us to judge them by their fruit. Be on guard church, false teachers are everywhere trying to divide us.
