Saying it like it is... the best method for delivering truth...

If your church leans on the teat of The Gospel Coalition it's time to start doing your research on that subject.

Below is a primer for your research:

Here is more detail on the error of The Gospel Coalition

When there is ERROR... you correct error with TRUTH... not a mix...

Mark my words (just like Brannon Howse). The Gospel Coalition's support of Calvanism (some even 7 point) and Socialism is NOT what the church should be feeding on. Yes, there are some well done articles on the site as well BUT a house divided against itself will fall (Matthew 12:25- Jesus' words). Calvanism and Socialism are nowhere to be found as systems in the Bible to follow.

The Gospel Coalition: The road to Babylon. A road you don't want to be on...

Books to Read on the issue in the American Church:

2 Corinthians 2:11....

STRONG Post... I know...when the blinders are off, and the serum of truth is applied, it is strong. God cares enough so you won't go back to the trough of error.

When I speak the truth there always seems to be a consequence against me or my family. I wonder what that will be since I posted this... Speaking the truth in this day in age is tough! If anyone out there cares, I do ask for your prayers over my family!

Here is the reality of double talking...

Spot On:
"Failure at a crucial moment, may mar the entire outcome of a life." Charles Spurgeon....

Interesting quote when you find that Surgeon a self- proclaimed Calvanist struggled with some of the points, especially limited atonement. He even was called an Arminian after one if his sermons.
FACT: Calvanism causes contradiction. Systems of man cause problems folks.
FACT: Calvanism muddles the clear and plain text/meaning of the word of God.

When will men of God oust this non-biblical system from the church? It is human philosophy disguised as truth. Salvific heresy that positions itself in front of the true gospel. Purity and simplicity of the gospel is FREEING, Calvanism causes angst!

Will You?

Will You?

Will you walk the path with me
Whether laden with flora or dry and bare?

It leads I know not where...

Cockscomb captivates with Tyrian purple
Gold crowned rudbeckia hold their heads high
Bellis perennis sway with the wind.

A welcomed diversion as we peregrinate forward...

Will we speak of God's hand in the spread set before us
lauding the creation of the divine?

Will you?

The Tribulation

I have been studying the rapture for some time. I have come to the belief that the Pre-Trib position is false and the Intra Seal Rapture is closest to biblical exegesis.

Here are a few things I learned in my study over the past few years...

Immenency does not equal rapture

Blessed Hope does not equal rapture

Fellowship and unity with other believers abiding in Christ is key for comfort and support to prepare for and endure persecution.

The garments of salvation are a must. Check your salvation (Philippians 2:12)  If you are not wearing the garments you are toast. Rev. 3:4.  See to it that NO ONE misleads you. (Mark 13:5)

My Prayer:

May we not be ignorant but prepared like the wise virgins. (Matthew25).
And abiding in Christ is the only way this can occur. (John 15 and 16).

NOTE: There is a difference in what the tribulation means and what God's wrath means.

Time

Where does it go?

Why does it fly?

Oh, how it bypasses me and 

leaves me high and dry.

I look at the calendar

The months, weeks and days,

all organized and numbered

with the intention to help plan our way.

Time plays catch-up

like a game in our life

a play against measured out days

as we try to win back hours, up against delays.

Time

A good construct

to keep life in check

it's the circumstances interfering

that cause havoc and stress.

pushing the construct to its' limit

with seconds to spare,

"I just need one more minute!"

 I frustratingly declare.

But time is a constant

a never bending device

to try and compile it is a futile exercise

to use what you've got,

now that is wise!

We like to play games that only trick us

pushing it forward 

and then back again

to manipulate, 

a game 

we can't win.

Time

A construct for man

to use within a lifespan.

The Whole 'Council' of God

Yes, the word 'council' is meant to be used in the title of the post.

For anyone in leadership or of the 'council' in churches. The whole counsel of God can be tough to teach in the church age we live in.

Acts 20:27- FOR I DID NOT SHRINK BACK FROM YOU THE WHOLE WILL OF GOD. -Paul to the Ephesians. (CR- Jeremiah 26:2).

If anyone has ears to hear and truly cares about delivering balanced teaching of the Word of God. Jacob Prasch is one of the best teachers to sit under.

As teachers go, they have a very high calling and responsibility. Answering to God for the handling of His Word is a lofty weight to bare.

Just so it doesn't look like I put Jacob on a pedestal and promote him for ulterior purposes. Dave Hunt, David Hocking, Sandy Simpson are all great teachers to learn under as well.

Let's not underestimate the believers in the pews. Those that truly are founded on Jesus and in Jesus want to know the depths of God's word. A great deception in western church culture is eliminating eschatological study. The mainstream mind goes to 'boogey man' mentality of end times and prophecy teaching because of all the charlatans out there. It's time to eliminate that trap and delve into the whole counsel in Revelation, Thessalonians, Daniel etc.
If the church doesn't teach this, it is a travesty and a hole left in the equation of who Jesus is and what He promises to do. Yes, you will be met with views contrary to each other. (Especially in the realm of the 'rapture'.) this should not stop the teaching of God's word. I do think most teachers are afraid of this subject because the content is sobering and the truth of the matter can cause loss of attendance and financial support. If that is the case, priorities are wrong. The subject matter is for ALL and not just the upper echelons of leadership.


Prepping and Equipping the Saints does include looking for His return.

A good read

The Whole Council of God: Jacob Prasch

Update: David Hocking is out. He had an affair. 

It is amazing the once sound start of pastors who then end up in sin. The great apostasy is upon us.

They Call Me Abner

They Call Me Abner

I take a stroll down the lane

and saunter slowly back again

lounging lazily in the shade

I realize I have it made

What's that?...

I hear my name

Someone's calling from inside

I'll ignore it and just hide

The trees, the birds are in my view

the horizon is such a pretty hue

Well, it's getting late

and my tummy is empty

I think it's time I go inside and see

What kind of dinner is ready for me.

Stretch, yawn

I'm at the door,

It swings open, I look up!

My special someone scoops me up

and sighs

"Oh, It's my Abner!"

Participation Equation

I am glad to say, I think our family has found a decent church to attend and become more involved in.  It isn't Jacob Prasch or Devore Truth something I wish was here in Texas but the need for local fellowship has been met through this particular avenue. Wish casting set aside; as far as southern, reformed western churches go, it has balance in the Sunday messages and is gospel-centered. I hear the gospel every Sunday. That is glorious!

We are checking out the high school ministry and small group ministry to find relationships that sharpen, encourage and spur towards our goals as Jesus loving individuals.

It is a heart break for me to see the Women's ministry succumb to worldly influence. I can not participate in this arena because of this and my heart grieves. Not that I am perfect and arrived but when the Holy Spirit teaches you truth, you are held accountable and must obey. If anyone out there wonders why I can't participate it is due to the support of apostate teaching. The teaching lies in Beth Moore and Priscilla Shirer centered learning tools. Read this link to discover where the error occurs and may eyes be opened to the deception.

One thing I'd like to put out there... this churches congregation has a high percentage of 'recovering' Catholics. Many of the congregation has come out of the deceptive, religious rituals and apostate nature of Catholicism. Contemplative practices supported and taught by Beth Moore and Priscilla Shirer are part of that deceptive system.  We need to protect that portion coming out of religious deception by removing this error.

I also have to count the cost and realize this flies in the face of leadership and puts me in the 'watch out for her' category.  Ahh, the story of my life.  I will just stand outside and look in at this point and pray over the ministry leaders. That is all I can do.  I do pray God puts me where He wants me, to use me and to grow me.  I think He is doing that.
