Absolutely a Vatican Infiltrator! Rick Warren is a Warlock
EVER NOTICE HOW SO MUCH IS SAID ABOUT “PURPOSE”? Purpose defined by WHO? hmmmmmm Does the Bible teach us specifically to walk in “our” purpose? I don’t think so. His Word is a lamp unto our feet and a light into our path following Him via His Word is our purpose. But somehow that all seems to get left out. Ps 119:105. The purpose driven craze started with a demon possessed vatican plant named Rich Warren. Beware.
America‘s “Pastor” OR America’s Wolf?
“Purpose driven”???? NO! WHOSE purpose? Jesus’ people are Holy Spirit led and WORD driven – not driven by a self-centered false purpose!
Warren doesn’t preach the original Gospel which begins with the command to “Repent.” And, he uses over 20 versions of the Bible to make own points, instead of using the King James Bible and letting God speak for Himself.
Rick Warren is a Vatican plant…. total deceiver…. anyone who doesn’t see this self-evident truth is walking in darkness.
Rick Warren is clearly a false prophet and this godless “purpose driven” deception is not God’s Word and is garbage, never once offering biblical salvation which begins with the divine command to repent.
IF that man you call “pastor” has any connection to RICK WARREN or any of his many heretical programs (Recovery paganism), he’s part of the new world order/one world church/ecumenism! RUN! Absolutely a Vatican Infiltrator!
Every “pastor” who has “divorce recovery” or any other of the various “recovery” programs in his “church” is part of the new world order, ecumenical, one world religion under antichrist trap. Anything out of saddleback “church” is poison. RUN!
Never mind Rick “the devil” Warren‘s “recovery” garbage, it’s time to recover the original Gospel of Jesus which is the only answer to man’s sin problem! (Jude 3-4) SIN is still man’s core dilemma for which Christ came! Oh and the original Gospel begins with the divine command to “repent.” (Matthew 3:2; 4:17; Acts 2:38, etc.)
****Rick Warren has been coined “America’s pastor” by the ungodly who are in control of the media. It’s a pure scam folks. There’s an ecumenical, antichrist agenda behind it. Rick Warren is a wolf, a false prophet. Anyone with an ounce of discernment sees in 30 seconds of hearing this man talk that he is a “cloud and wind without rain” or with zero Biblical substance (Proverbs 25:14). The true people of God see right through this man who never presents the Gospel of Christ which begins with the command to repent (Mat. 3:2; 4:17; Acts 2:38; 3:19; 17:30).
Rick Warren is a warlock at best, an antichrist plant. Rick Warren is not “America’s pastor,” he’s America’s warlock to mislead millions who do not know the LORD. He’s a hell bound Jesuit pawn of Satan. Everything this man touches is cursed, including his Celebrate Recovery scam – run!
Like Joel Osteen and so many other popular wolves today, Rick Warren positions himself as the cool guy. Is coming off as the “cool” guy what “ministry” is today? Is this what Jesus and His holy apostles and prophets were like? Not quite. Warren is leading a whole generation of unsanctified CEO-type “pastors” in this delusion. Read your Bible or you will continue to be a gullible, biblically-illiterate dupe, deceived and ultimately “destroyed for lack of knowledge.” (Hosea 4:6) Read Hebrews 11 and find out what happened to those who trusted God. Then, read Revelation to see the martyrdom coming to many who follow Christ to the end as Jesus commanded.
Rick Warren can be known by the fruit of his doctrine. Warren refuses to preach that men must repent. This alone makes him false. He’s not preaching the original Gospel which begins with the command to repent. Repentance is never mentioned in his evil, self-focused, purpose-driven books which have sold millions. But the command to repent is the very first command and word of the true Gospel. See. Matt. 3:2; 4:17; Acts 2:38; 3:19; 17:30, etc.. God has not changed – man has one core problem and that’s sin and there’s only one salvation solution, Jesus Christ, and Jesus says “Except ye repent ye shall all likewise perish.” (Luke 13:3, 5) Repenting is what God requires to save a lost soul – it’s an essential and it’s where salvation is appropriated. No true disciple of Christ would withhold this life-saving Gospel truth. Any person who claims to be representing Christ and doesn’t preach what Christ and His holy apostles preached, is preaching another, a false gospel and is “accursed.” (Galatians 1:6-9)
Mariaan Pretorius notes:
“Rick Warren, Apostate Preacher: Rick has people praying a salvation prayer that does not mention, sin, repentance, the cross or the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
In the video that accompanies the ’40 Days of Purpose,’ Warren leads his listeners in prayer at the conclusion of the first session. The prayer is as follows:
‘Dear God, I want to know your purpose for my life. I don’t want to base the rest of my life on wrong things. I want to take the first step in preparing for eternity by getting to know you. Jesus Christ, I don’t understand how but as much as I know how I want to open up my life to you. Make yourself real to me. And use this series in my life to help me know what you made me for.’ Warren goes on to say: “Now if you’ve just prayed that prayer for the very first time I want to congratulate you. You’ve just become a part of the family of God.'”
Of Warren, WND reported:
“But Warren’s critics have claimed his Purpose Driven ministry emphasizes only doing good, while dodging the kind of biblical repentance that is needed for a person – or a pastor – to have their life transformed by Christ. The Purpose Driven Church model, or PDC, discounts the fear of the Lord, Warren’s critics say, while encouraging pastors to become “masters” of their churches instead of servants.” WND,
“’Before we “shake your hand’ in responding to your letter, we ask forgiveness of the All-Merciful One and of the Muslim community around the world.” – Rick Warren in a speech to Muslims.
Beware Saints, Warren is a sell out! (Heb. 10:29) Just WHO does this clown feign to representing? He’s certainly not representing the LORD’s born again “little flock” – His true people/remnant (Luke 12:32).
IF this doesn’t offend you, you have either departed from the faith and not continuing in the doctrine of God given in His Word, or have never been not saved (2 John 1:7-11).
– Is Rick Warren Your Idol? Is Rick Warren Above God’s Word/Law? Is Rick Warren’s book more authoritative than God’s Word in your mind? If you are teachable and not an idolater of mere sinful men who hold leadership positions, Read On…
BEWARE: Rick Warren is a blatant wolf in sheep’s clothing (Matt. 7:15). It should be more than obvious upon the first viewing of Warren speaking that he is an antichrist windbag. He uses very little if any SCRIPTURE to make his points and when he does, they are many times misused – out of context. Have you ever noticed that moral cowards who claim be Christian are always looking for a way to escape from being persecuted for the name and Person of Jesus Christ and the pure and original Gospel (Mk. 8:38; Gal. 5:11-12; 6:11-12). Rick Warren teaches that we need to build upon purpose, but is that what Jesus Christ taught? No, the Son of God taught that the only solid and eternally blessed foundation is Christ and His HOLY WORD (Matt. 7:21-29; 1 Cor. 3:11). It is like Rick Warren’s books and speaking/works have become final authority usurping the place which the LORD alone is worthy of. In fact, He has magnified His Word above His own name (Ps. 138:2). Rick Warren’s purpose driven deception is simply another gimmick ministry made popular by people who don’t study and obey God’s Word for themselves and do not truly love Jesus so therefore make heroes of mere sinful men (Zech. 11:17). Rick Warren and his gimmick book, Purpose Driven Life, has subverted the truth and removed people’s hearts and attention from God’s Word. Yet, God has ordained heretics and heresies to separate the true from the false (1 Cor. 11:19).
“His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber. 11 Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter. 12 Come ye, say they, I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and to morrow shall be as this day, and much more abundant. Isaiah 56:10-12 (KJV)
Any pastor or church leader that brings in Rick Warren’s Gospel-less books or the material of any other modern lame leader, reveals that he does not have a life of his own in the Word. He is “blind” and “ignorant.” Instead of honoring the LORD by studying His 66 glorious books which make up the canon of Holy Scripture, counterfeit leaders elevate the writings/words of mere men and are leading astray millions.
“For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.” Isaiah 9:16 (KJV)
Tex Marrs writes:
“As the aging Robert Schuller, Billy Graham, Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, and Paul Crouch are being retired and shown the door, a spanking brand-new generation of ministers and evangelists are being ushered in by the Devil to take their place. The new preachers–men like California’s Pastor Rick Warren (The Purpose-Driven Life) and Texas’ Joel Osteen (Your Best Life Now) are flashy, shiny, and smiley. They use positive talk, make people feel good, and get them to thinking about ‘Me, Me, Me, Me…’ The Rick Warrens and Joel Osteen’s evade topics like sin, judgment, Hell, and condemnation. They trumpet the New Gospel–that God is always good and that He has a satchel-full of cash he’s just dying to give out to every believer if only they’ll think good thoughts. What about false religion?–Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Witchcraft? Don’t worry. God is working behind the scenes to get those people to Heaven–and they don’t need to be evangelized at all. ‘So long Christian missionaries–It’s been good to know you!’ Find your purpose, find prosperity–get greedy, stop barking. Surround yourself with purple haze–The New Generation of Christian leaders are here, and watchdogs everywhere have simply gone to sleep.”
“Warren’s god is not awesome or angry and he does not stand in judgment of human sin. He is genial and mellow and he wants to be your best friend.” – The New Yorker, September 12, 2005.
Biblical Christianity is about having a Christ-filled, Word-directed or Holy Spirit-led life, not a purpose-driven life.
(we do not control what content is on the sites below only that which is on these sites)
– we need to get into God’s Word and stop promoting the work of deceivers like Rick Warren
– the Gospel (1 Cor. 15:1-4) is never presented in Rick Warren’s book, The Purpose Driven Life
In Rick’s book, “The purpose Driven Life,” over 75 of his Bible quotes are from the corrupt Message Bible. Rick encourages people to meditate and memorize this corrupt translation. Some of the Quotes that he uses from the Message Bible change the meaning of the verse to suit Rick’s seeker sensitive model.
“Read Scripture from a newer translation. And as you read that Scripture, realize that you’re trying to pick out Scriptures that appeal especially to baby boomers. And try to find Scriptures that specifically relate to the benefits that Christ can bring into a person’s life. They’ve never heard the Scripture before, so try to pick positive Scriptures that talk about the benefits of Christ… you want to pick out Scriptures that are very positive.” Rick Warren
“The unchurched culture determines our style. We’re laid back Southern California. We’re just a few miles from the beach, so we have a laid back Southern California style….Regardless of the style you choose, you’re going to be criticized. Okay? So, the key question is, “Who are you trying to impress?” The unchurched populations determine our goals.” Rick Warren
A strange statement appears on p.40. Warren writes
“I didn’t know enough to call my survey of the community a ‘marketing’ study. To me, it was just a matter of meeting the people I intended to reach. Those who had been coming to our small Bible study helped me take the community survey. The irony was this: Many of those who came to home Bible study and helped me survey the unchurched in our community were unbelievers themselves.”
——–Subject: WAKE-UP CALL — Rick Warren Teams Up With New-Age Guru Ken Blanchard!
OK, if I could come to your house, and scream this in your ear, I would. But I can’t, so email will have to do. Also, I apologize in advance for offending some of you, which I am sure I will do. But, please read this with an open heart, and pray, and examine the scriptures. If “a little leaven leavens the whole batch”, and we are to expel people from our churches who are in sin, then what do we make of one of the leaders in American Christianity partnering up with an outspoken Buddhist? Is this not going completely against the scriptures?
I know that most Christians today will not care one hill of beans about the fact that the most influential Evangelical leader in Christianity today, Rick Warren, is actually teaching seminars with a New Age/Buddhist, but I believe God is delivering a very strong warning right now to the masses who follow this man, and men like him. Jesus said to beware, because in the end times, even the elect would be deceived….if possible. The apostle Paul cast blindness on a false prophet/sorcerer (Acts 13), yet now we invite them up on stage to teach the Christians! Paul warned about people preaching another Jesus, another Gospel, and receiving a different Spirit. I know. I used to go to a church like this for about 2 1/2 years, and I ended up leaving because I realized that most people were far more excited about the church itself than Jesus, they didn’t really care about the sin they lived in, they NEVER prayed, etc. I would have to say that the deception has already arrived. The very core of deception is that those being deceived think they have the truth. Think about that. Meditate, and pray. Do you want to be deceived in these end times? Do you really love truth, or do you just want to go along with the latest greatest thing in Christianity, so you don’t get shunned?
Woe to you when all men speak well of you, For so did their fathers to the false prophets. Luke 6:26

Rick Warren Teams Up With New-Age Guru Ken Blanchard!
This is a Special Report.
Apr 19, 2005 While Rick Warren is gearing up to train a billion people, unbeknownst to many he has also been teamed up with New Age and contemplative promoter, Ken Blanchard, for some time now. According to a new biography on Rick Warren, A Life With Purpose written by George Mair, Rick Warren has solicited the services of Ken Blanchard to aid him in training leaders: “Rick taps the best and most famous to help train church leaders to be like Jesus. He has hired Ken Blanchard …. to come to Saddleback to help train people how to be effective leaders.” p. 193
In light of knowing who Ken Blanchard is, this is shocking and devastating news for the church!
There is countless evidence to show that Blanchard sits on the New Age/mystical/contemplative bandwagon. Blanchard believes in the benefits and use of mantra meditation, yoga and has no trouble borrowing from Buddhism.
Here are just a few examples:
a.. Wrote the foreword to Jim Ballard’s Mind Like Water
b.. Wrote the foreword to Franz Metcalf’s What Would Buddha Do At Work?
c.. Is on the Front Cover of Corporate Mystic-(Listen)
d.. Is on the Back Cover of Deepak Chopra’s 7 Spiritual Laws of Success
e.. Jim Ballard, a staunch New Ager, and a colleague of The Ken Blanchard Companies
f.. Wrote the Foreword to Ellen Ladd’s (clairvoyant) book, Death and Letting Go.
Blanchard makes no apology when he says much can be gained from Buddhism. He and his wife both encourage the practice of yoga (p.11) and mantra meditation.
For those who do not find the words of an unofficial biographer (Mair) linking Rick Warren with Blanchard convincing enough, Ken Blanchard, Rick Warren and Bill Hybels (Willow Creek) have become team players at the Lead Like Jesus conferences, which take place across North America. The three also have an audio set they co-authored together.
Did Rick Warren know of Blanchard’s sympathies when he brought him in to help at Saddleback? Of course he did. And do you think that Rick Warren and Ken Blanchard are going to train their “billion” soldiers for Christ how to practice New Age mysticism and learn how to go into altered states of consciousness? You bet. And that is definitely something to be concerned about.
“…they did not receive the love of the truth so as to be saved. And for this reason God will send upon them a deluding influence so that they might believe what is false …” II Thessalonians 2:10-11

THE ROCK OF TRUTH PROTECTION
“Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth. My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass: Because I will publish the name of the LORD: ascribe ye greatness unto our God. He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he. They have corrupted themselves, their spot is not the spot of his children: they are a perverse and crooked generation. Do ye thus requite the LORD, O foolish people and unwise? is not he thy father that hath bought thee? hath he not made thee, and established thee?” Deuteronomy 32:1-6
According to this passage of Scripture the LORD speaks of His “doctrine” through which He speaks to us and which we are to “publish” where He is seen as “the Rock…of truth.” Then He tells us that some – a “crooked generation” – have “corrupted themselves” after He made and established them.
“Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.” Proverbs 30:5-6
Beloved, when the floods of His holy judgment come, the only ROCK that will be standing is Jesus – the One revealed by His words which He gave to lead and protect us. He instructed us to:
“Search the scriptures…they are they which testify of me.” John 5:39
Only those beholding Him through what He told us in His Word and standing on that Word, will be standing when all else is destroyed in the holy wrath and judgment soon to come. The Son of God is the “Great Shepherd of the sheep” and active and intent upon feeding and protecting the sheep of His pasture (Ps. 23; Jn. 21:15-17; Heb. 13:20; 1 Pet. 5:1-6). All under-shepherds true to the One “Great Shepherd of the sheep” do the same – feed and protect His saints.
“For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.” Psalms 27:5
I have become associated with the pastor of a local congregation and often see him carrying numerous commentaries and books by human authors. There are a few who have something worth reading and yet God’s Word is infinitely more important to learn and authoritative. In fact, how shall we now how to rightly divide the word of truth if we do not personally know the definite article of the oracles of God? (Acts 17:11; 2 Tim. 2:15; 3:16-17, etc.).
It is truly regrettable to see those in leadership today so zealous to read other men’s Words while neglecting the words of God. This manifests itself in that so many churches today have programs which virtually never feature the study of a book of the Bible but rather a book or media production from a mere human author (many who are adding to or taking away from the Word of God). Where is the discipleship in the Word? (2 Tim. 2:15; 3:15-4:4) No wonder such deception and deceit abounds in the visible church world (Matt. 24:10-13). Today, the spiritual empty apostate leadership in the visible American church world has learned well how to read what someone else says about the Bible and to follow trends and fad books from best-selling mere human authors. Take a look below at a recent dialogue I had with the pastor of a large congregation concerning fad book author Rick Warren. I had referred this pastor to our page on Rick Warren and here is his response and mine:
RESPONSE FROM THE PASTOR:
- “Todd: Rick Warren has been used of God to lead thousands of people to saving faith in Christ. I would be very careful in labeling him a false prophet. Jesus said, “You shall know them by their fruits” (Matthew 7:16). Based on the fruit in his life and ministry, I would call him a true follower of Jesus Christ. Does he do it all perfectly? No… but neither do you and neither do I. Would to God that you and I had ministries that brought untold thousands of people from “the domain of darkness to the Kingdom of His beloved Son” (Col. 1:13)” J. S. Pastor, FBC
TODD’S RESPONSE:
- “Thanks Brother Jeff…God bless you in His truth and peace brother. Thanks for emailing.
Does Warren even give the Gospel in his purpose book? Does he boldly and fervently call men to repentance before a holy God as John the Baptist and Jesus did – Matt. 3:4; 4:17. “Repent” was the very first word they each preached. They didn’t preach “believe” first but rather “repent”. Neither did they seek to draw men using entertainment. Remember, hirelings entertain goats while true under-shepherds feed Christ’s sheep and unwaveringly preach the original Gospel.
Did you realize that Warren was trained under Robert Schuller, a known false prophet? and he uses his methods and philosophies today….Warren is on the cutting edge of the seeker-sensitive movement which has removed repentance and therefore the alter call to call men to repent) and turned to entertainment in order to draw the nickles, noses and numbers. Jesus commanded His true followers to preach repentance (Lk. 24:47). He said it was essential to salvation (Lk. 13:3,5). This alone should prove the lack of genuine Bible fruit in Warren’s ministry. Preaching repentance is not conducive to drawing and keeping crowds so it is simply removed by the enterprising circus leaders of our day who are fashioning a “christianity” in their own image. Jesus help us before it is too late – Matt. 7:15-29.
Brother Jeff, this is how I see it after much observation so have no problem marking him in order to warn others and see Christ’s sheep protected – which is the mandate of every true servant of Jesus (Rom. 16:17-18; Col. 1:27-29; 2:8,18-19; Acts 20:27-32, Jude 3-4, etc.). Paul marked 8 men by name in the 4 chapters of 2 Timothy – “Naming Names – Is It Biblical?” Jesus is Coming, todd
Personally, I refuse to follow or fall into the politically correct silence of those who refuse to cry wolf on the wolves who operate in our midst and deceive and damn souls (Isa. 9:6; Ezek. 22:25, 27; Rom. 16:17-18; Col. 2:8). They must be marked as commanded by the LORD. Spiritual cowards who do not want to lose their lives (reputations) in their circles (among men) appear to have forsaken Jesus and His truth for the admiration of mere men (Mk. 8:34; Lk. 6:26; Gal. 1:10; 4:16; Jude 1:16).
Saints, the sad thing is that those who protect, defend and support these fad authors/works of fire-consumable stubble have made popular their works which do not present the true Gospel clearly given in the whole of Scripture (Hos. 4:6). Where is the discernment? Where are the Berean believers of this hour! (Acts 17:10-11) Those who fund these ministries are making them financially wealthy while many times those in the trenches who like Jesus care for several and also that one wayward sheep, and communicate the whole counsel of the Word, go hungry.
PRAYER: LORD Jesus, bless us never to fund the work of those who turn aside from Thee and lead others astray with deception and lies, crassly denying and ignoring Your precious precepts. Nay rather bless us to get behind and push upwardly those works and Gospel workers true to Your Word and Holy Spirit. Amen.

MORE ON WARREN….
In this next video, as you view, as usual, weigh all against Scripture truth … in this one he talks about how wonderful HIS book is and speaks of his book being like a handkerchief that has dried the tears of wounded people. This is antichrist 2 times over because he is not elevating GOD’s WORD/BOOK but rather allowing his own book to be promoted. Also, isn’t it the LORD Himself that is the only one who can heal broken hearts and will ultimately dry up all tears and take away all pain? (Lk. 4:18; Rev. 21:4) Isn’t Jesus Christ the Savior? Or is Ricky Warren? Eternity is in the balance. The LORD Jesus and His apostles promised “much tribulation” in this era (Matt. 10:22; 24:10-13; Acts 14:23). When worshipped, Christ’s apostles ripped off their clothes and demanded that the people worship God and announced themselves to be mere sinful men (Acts 14:14). Yet, Warren says here that he “burst into tears” when he heard HIS book was doing such a work in the people of Africa…ppppffffffttttttt Then Warren boasts of the hundreds of Scriptures in his book and yet, he uses over a dozen different translations? WHY? Because he desires to convey to people HIS own message and doesn’t just let God Almighty speak for Himself by communicating His true and pure Word from the Authorized Version (KJV). Wolf!

The Life God Blesses to Bear Fruit for His Eternal Glory
A fruitful life for God’s glory involves first being genuinely born again, abiding in Christ via the crucified life, bearing spiritual fruit—such as Christlikeness in character, good works, and evangelism—by remaining in vital union with Jesus, the true vine (John 15).
“Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.” John 15:16
JUST as Jesus multiplied the little with the boy who gave the loaves and fishes, so He does with our efforts. Jesus multiplied that little and fed 5,000 men, and that doesn’t count the women and children present. Try Him.
“O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.” Psalms 34:8
“And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.” Matthew 25:40-46
God blesses the lives of His faithful saints. His faithful saints seek His face continually.
“Seek the Lord and his strength, seek his face continually.” 1 Chronicles 16:11
God prospers us according as we seek His face and stay upon Him. Of king Uzziah king of Judah, God’s Word says:
“As long as he sought the LORD, God made him to prosper.” 2 Chronicles 26:5
At times in this life there are season of uncertainty, where our vision may not be clear. We must “stay upon” the LORD.
“Who is among you that feareth the LORD, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh in darkness, and hath no light? let him trust in the name of the LORD, and stay upon his God.” Isaiah 50:10
“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
12 Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.
13 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.
14 And I will be found of you, saith the LORD: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the LORD; and I will bring you again into the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive.” Jeremiah 29:11-14
“But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.” 1 Corinthians 15:10
“Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us.” Ephesians 3:20
“And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work.” 2 Corinthians 9:8
We’ve never been so reminded of this as of the miraculous events of late where beloved brother Juan dropped some plastic water bottles that hit me in the feet. Only God could have orchestrated this collision of Juan’s life and mine.
“The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.” Psalms 37:23
Ask Him.
Recently brother Stacy Strother reminded me that God simply wants us, His people to be available, to pray and watch Him work!
“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. 19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. 20 And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.” Mark 16:15-20
It has been wisely stated:
“Show me a man’s prayer life, his life of prayer or lack thereof, and I will show you who that man truly is and who and what he loves most.”
All who are zealous for the LORD are zealous about His work, to do it. Not build a church, but to see Christ work in the hearts of men—to strengthen and equip His body and convict and save lost souls to Himself.
One source notes:
“Evangelism is the act of sharing the Christian gospel—the ‘good news’ of Jesus Christ’s life, death, and resurrection—with the aim of inviting others into a relationship with God. It is considered a core mission for believers to spread this message of salvation, hope, and love, often stemming from Jesus’s command in the Great Commission.”
“The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.” Proverbs 11:30
YOUR PRAYER: Holy Father, in Jesus’ name, unite my heart to fear Thy name. Do your work in and through my life. I am all Yours. Maximize the fruit produced to Your eternal glory. You must increase but I must decrease. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Abiding
Washed. Sanctified. Glorified. [podcast]
“Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.” John 13:8
Jesus’ true bride is known in that she is making herself ready for Him.
“Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. 8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.” Revelation 19:7-8
“This morning I read Psalm 45. Titled the Kings marriage. The story of the King and His bride. This is a beautiful picture of the marriage supper of the Lamb in Rev 19:7-9. The Bridegroom is adorned in glory, majesty, righteousness and truth. Sitting in His royal throne. Then enters the Bride. Holy, without spot or wrinkle. Wearing the righteousness of Christ. And Jesus says, you are in thy Father’s house and He desires thy beauty and worship. Wow! Because she is wearing the beauty of the Lord (Psalm 27:4). His attributes. And she is wearing gold. Fine gold because she has been tried in the fire of affliction. And she is one of the five wise virgins who is invited to enter into the King’s palace. What a glorious picture of all who make themselves ready and are clean and white before their King Jesus! Alleluia!” Karen Cochran
The person who repents, puts their faith in Jesus Christ, and is saved, and continues rooted in Christ, continuing/abiding in Him, will confess any sin committed and be perpetually transformed by Him (Proverbs 28:13; 2 Corinthians 7:1; 1 John 1:7, 9; 3:4-10).
Many have been misled. Jesus invented the term “FALL AWAY” (Luke 8:13). The Son of God does not lie. If falling away isn’t possible, why did Jesus say it is possible? Jesus is returning for those who are looking for Him by the way they live.
“Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 26 that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27 that he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.” Ephesians 5:25-27
Only those hearing and obeying God’s Word are being washed by it.
“So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto THEM THAT LOOK FOR HIM shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.” Hebrews 9:28
“Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you: but ye are WASHED, but ye are SANCTIFIED, but ye are JUSTIFIED in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.” 1 Corinthians 6:9-11
The explanation below is modified from another source and notes the following:
“‘Washed, sanctified, and justified’ (often replacing glorified with justified) describes the comprehensive spiritual transformation of a believer in 1 Corinthians 6:11. It signifies being cleansed from sin, set apart for God’s purpose, and declared righteous through Christ, moving from a past life of disobedience to a new identity and a life of obedience to God (2 Corinthians 5:15).
- Washed: Refers to being cleansed of the defilement and stain of sin, often linked to baptism and the washing of regeneration by the Holy Spirit.
- Sanctified: Means being set apart to God for His holy purpose. It involves both a position of holiness in Christ and a progressive, lifelong process of becoming more like Him.
- Justified (Glorified/Righteous): Means being acquitted of all guilt and declared righteous before God on the basis of Christ’s finished work.
- Transformation: The Apostle Paul reminds the Corinthians that while they once lived in sin, their identity changed upon following Jesus.
- The Power Source: These changes are accomplished in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of God, not by personal merit.
- Living the New Life: This transformation signifies that believers are no longer defined by their past sins, but by their new, holy standing.”
Prayer: Jesus, I know You are going to return for a Bride that is without spot, wrinkle, or sin of any kind. Purify this life LORD Jesus which I now submit to You without reserve. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

What’s Behind Atheism and Evolution? NOT SCIENCE [podcast]
Atheist – n. One who denies the existence of God.
NO SUCH THING AS AN “ATHEIST.” TOTAL SHAM of sinners TO self-righteously INDICT GOD.
“They are without excuse:” Romans 1:20
2 CLEAR PROOFS THAT THERE IS A GOD AND THAT HE CREATED ALL THINGS:
(1) CREATION: “The heavens (creation) declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handiwork.” Psalms 19:1
“Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. 20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made (earth, elements, etc.), even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:” Romans 1:20
Without exception, every single self-proclaimed “atheist” is a liar.
There is no need for faith or the Bible to simply know there is a God. Creation alone guarantees that there is a Creator the same as every painting assures there is a painter – whether you can see him (the artist) or not. There is also no “excuse” for us denying the One who made all things, because we are drowning in the beauty of His creation which we see in every direction we look. In fact, there could be no greater absurdity than denying the existence of the One who gave you your own existence.
(2) CONSCIENCE: “Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath showed it unto them.” Romans 1:19
Is there truly such thing as an atheist? According to Romans 1:19, God’s Word states that all men have within them the knowledge of their Creator.
Attention “Atheist”: Fact: there is not 1 stitch of evidence is all the museums of the world to prove evolution. Fact 2: it’s only the moral coward who runs from God, spending his time trying to disprove something he claims doesn’t exist. The answer is to repent and believe on the LORD Jesus Christ.
History and the study of peoples (anthropology) across the earth, reveals that all men are religious, the central difference is the object of their worship, not only with people groups but also with individuals. Everyone worship someone, whether self or the One true God or some false god.
Christianity is the only belief system in the world that demands change – that the adherent repent before the one true and holy God for sinning against Him.
“And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:” Acts 17:30
Could it be that the religion of atheism is a cloak for those who would rather espouse a belief system that allows them to be their own gods and in control of their own lives and destiny? You see, those who call themselves “atheists” simply enthrone themselves as their object of worship (god). To do this though, they must first deny and do away with the one true God that exists in their conscience. To do this, they must espouse something like atheism or believe in the proof-less myth of evolution, which makes man out to be a glorified animal.
If we evolved from apes, why are apes still here? Where is the intermediary species?
The Faces of Lawlessness are Many. Rebellion comes in a nearly unlimited variety of flavors, all with evil at their root. The myth that man is good is a lie, a front that masks rebellion against the one true God who sent His only begotten Son to die for us – because we’ve “ALL sinned” against Him (Romans 3). Hiding behind one’s religion is a sham that will soon lose its cover and find the religionist standing bare naked before a Holy God and Judge of all eternal souls. We have all sinned against our Maker and in desperate need of His saving mercy. We will stand before Him individually to give account for our lives in this fleeting life. To be saved, one must repent and believe upon His only begotten Son. There is no other way to be right with God and escape the flames of eternal damnation.
It seems obvious that atheism its a dishonest position to cloak a deeper issue of the heart. It is a fact that no scientist has ever proven evolution, nor does any museum in the world contain even one stitch of information which proves evolution.
So-called atheism is the vain attempt of sinful, unrepentant mere men to deny their Maker. The LORD made all men with a conscience and consciousness to know that He exists and that He made them. This means they are accountable to Him and this is why they intentionally seek to deny Him. But denial changes nothing. According to Romans 1:18-20, God made all men with the built-in knowledge that He exists as their Creator and Judge.
Adaptation is part of CREATION. It merely speaks to a loving God who made men and even animals to adapt to their environment on HIS earth where He created and placed them (Psalms 8). There is no museum in the entire world that has a stitch of proof of evolution. “The FOOL hath said in his heart, there is no God.” (Psalms 14:1)
Debate an “atheist”? Perhaps simply quote Psalms 14:1 to him ….
MESSAGE RECEIVED:
“There is no God, boy. Grow up.”
REPLY:
There is a God, who is the Judge of your eternal soul, and He says you are a sinner and a fool in need of His forgiveness.
“The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.” Psalms 14:1
Then when he returns fire….
“Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.” Proverbs 26:5
Does it not seem that those who refuse to take personal responsibility for their own lives (sins) have to fabricate some myth or adhere to an existing one, in order to continue to soothe/override the conscience their Creator made them with? Many of these same people say things like “If there were a God He wouldn’t allow such terrible things to go on upon earth.” So, in this it seems to me that they are making themselves to be more just and righteous than their Maker and now have placed themselves in judgment of Him – Get it, these scoffers make themselves god while denying the true Maker.
“Shall mortal man be more just than God? shall a man be more pure than his maker?” Job 4:17
Maybe we ourselves (God’s people) blame God for things we do not understand and should consider a more noble and upright road of humility, honesty and transparency, like King David who took personal responsibility for his own life, instead of blaming the Almighty.
“For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.” Psalms 38:18
Isn’t the moral downward gravitational pull of our own sinful nature a constant reminder of our great and utter necessity for God’s grace and mercy?
Those who deny God and His obvious existence, will be denied by God. They will be denied entrance into eternal glory and violently terminated into the bowels of eternal damnation.
Okay, back to atheism……
To say the universe created itself would be more delusional than to believe that cars and trucks make themselves, have no maker. If mere vehicles can’t create themselves or appear out of mid air, how did the universe do so?
For many an atheist, evolution is the religion he places his faith in.
The Scoop on the Atheist Evolutionist: Those who refuse to acknowledge and obey their Creator have to make up some link-less, proof-less fairy tale (evolution) so as to convince their own consciences that the Bible isn’t true – but the end will show it is.
Of atheists, one writer says: “The “Atheist” Can’t find God for the same reason the thief can’t find a policeman.”
In this statement, the author is expressing the truth that the atheist simply does not want to find God. The atheist wants to place his trust and future upon a long ago bankrupted myth, so he can live the way he wishes – as his own “god” – and with no standard to live by. In order to perpetuate the evolutionary lie that violates his own conscience, he must continue to believe the lie that he came from an animal, so that he can continue to justify living like one.
“I suppose the reason we leaped at the origin of species was because the idea of God interfered with our sexual mores.” (Sir Julian Huxley, President of the United Nation’s Educational, Scientific, Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
Could it be that what belief system one adopts is largely a heart matter? Could it be that behind the so-called atheism some claim, is a prideful heart that simply refuses to willfully humble itself before the Almighty in repentance? Is this also what is behind the attack on the Bible?
The Scoop on the Atheist: Instead of simply admitting what he knows to be true and repenting of his many sins, he embarks upon the futile and foolish endeavor of disproving the obvious – that there is a God and he is accountable.
No matter who we are or where we are today, here is the message for life: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.” John 3:16-17
Why does one need the Son of God? To escape the consequence of his sin – eternal damnation.
You might ask: How have I sinned against the Almighty? God’s holy law reveals how you have utterly offended and violated His holiness:
- By not putting Him first in your life
- Having idols – any person or thing that is more important than Him
- Using His holy name in vain
- Not gathering with His people regularly
- Have not always honored your parents
- Have hated or begrudged anyone (heart murder)
- Been sexually immoral by lusting after someone you’re not married to by looking upon them while entertaining evil thoughts
- Stolen (anything)
- Lying
- Coveting what is not yours
Friend, before it is too late, humble yourself before the God who is worthy of all your worship.
“O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker.” Psalms 95:6
Are you ready to turn to God before it is too late? Below is the outline of a humble prayer to repent before a holy God and receive Christ before it is too late for you. In a begging manner (because you are a spiritual pauper and in utter need of His mercy), cry out with all of your heart and aloud with your mouth to God with these words. Remember, He is listening right now. Pray this in desperation, trusting Him fully, and He will rescue (save) you: Dear Heavenly Father, I know You are holy and I have been very sinful. I have sinned against You in many ways and are worthy of Your holy judgment. Thank You for sending Your only begotten Son Jesus to die a horrible death on that wooden cross for my sins, and thank You for raising Him from the dead to completely justify me. I love You my LORD Jesus. From this very moment forward, I am all Yours and thank You that You are all mine. Amen.
“Scientists who go about teaching that evolution is a fact of life are great con-men, and the story they are telling may be the greatest hoax ever. In explaining evolution we do not have one iota of fact.” Dr. T. N. Tahmisian, Physiologist, Atomic Energy Commission. As quoted in: Evolution and the Emperor’s New Clothes, 3D Enterprises Limited, 1983, title page
“Evolution is a fairy tale for grownups.” Dr. Louis Bounoure, Director of the Zoological Museum and Director of Research at the National Center of Scientific Research in France, J. Rostand, “LaMonde et la Vie,” October 1963, p. 31 from V. Long, “Evolution: A Fairy Tale for Adults,” Homiletic and Pastoral Review, Vol 78 (1978), no. 7, pp. 27-32
“One of the reasons I started taking this anti-evolutionary view, was … it struck me that I had been working on this stuff for twenty years and there was not one thing I knew about it. That’s quite a shock to learn that one can be so misled so long. …so for the last few weeks I’ve tried putting a simple question to various people and groups of people. Question is: Can you tell me anything you know about evolution, any one thing that is true? I tried that question on the geology staff at the Field Museum of Natural History and the only answer I got was silence. I tried it on the members of the Evolutionary Morphology Seminar in the University of Chicago, a very prestigious body of evolutionists, and all I got there was silence for a long time and eventually one person said, ‘I do know one thing — it ought not to be taught in high school’.” Dr. Colin Patterson, Senior Paleontologist, British Museum of Natural History, London Keynote address at the American Museum of Natural History, New York City, 5 November, 1981
The denial of God is a discrediting of His creation, those created in His image, mankind.
“I shall argue, however, that discrediting ‘human dignity’ is one of the most important implications of Darwinism, and that it has consequences that people have barely begun to appreciate.” James Rachels, Created from Animals: the Moral Implications of Darwinism, 79-80.
“I know that, at least in paleoanthropology, data are still so sparse that theory heavily influences interpretations. Theories have, in the past, clearly reflected our current ideologies instead of actual data.” Dr David Pilbeam (Physical Anthropologist, Yale University, USA), ‘Rearranging our family tree’. Human Nature, June 1978, p. 45.
“It is easy enough to make up stories of how one form gave rise to another, and to find reasons why the stages should be favored by natural selection. But such stories are not part of science, for there is no way of putting them to the test.” Personal letter (written 10 April 1979) from Dr Collin Patterson, Senior Paleontologist at the British Museum of Natural History in London, to Luther D. Sunderland; as quoted in Darwin’s Enigma by Luther D. Sunderland, Master Books, San Diego, USA, 1984, p. 89.
“Biologists are simply naive when they talk about experiments designed to test the theory of evolution. It is not testable. They may happen to stumble across facts which would seem to conflict with its predictions. These facts will invariably be ignored and their discoverers will undoubtedly be deprived of continuing research grants.” Professor Whitten (Professor of Genetics, University of Melbourne, Australia), 1980 Assembly Week address.
“In fact, evolution became in a sense a scientific religion; almost all scientists have accepted it and many are prepared to ‘bend’ their observations to fit in with it.” H.S. Lipson, FRS (Professor of Physics, University of Manchester, UK), ‘A physicist looks at evolution’. Physics Bulletin, vol. 31, 1980, p. 138.
That the theory of evolution is atheism:
“First, it shocks the common sense of unsophisticated men to be told that the whale and the humming-bird, man and the mosquito, are derived from the same source. Not that the whale was derived out of the hummingbird, or man out of the mosquito, but that both are derived by a slow process of variations continued through countless millions of years. Such is the theory with its scientific feathers plucked off…
A second remark is the theory (evolution) in question cannot be true, because it is founded on the assumption of an impossibility. It assumes that matter does the work of mind. This is an impossibility and an absurdity in the judgment of all men except materialists; and materialists are, ever have been, and ever must be, a mere handful among men, whether educated or uneducated…
Thirdly, the system is thoroughly atheistic, and therefore cannot possibly stand. God has revealed His existence and His government of the world so clearly and so authoritatively, that any philosophical or scientific speculations inconsistent with those truths are like cobwebs in the track of a tornado. They offer no sensible resistance. The mere naturalist, the man devoted so exclusively to the study of nature as to believe in nothing but natural causes, is not able to understand the strength with which moral and religious convictions take hold of the minds of men. These convictions however, are the strongest, the most ennobling, and the most dangerous for any class of men to disregard or ignore.
In saying that the system is atheistic, it is not said that Mr. Darwin is an atheist. Nor is it meant that every one who adopts the theory does it in an atheistic sense…His theory is that hundreds or thousands of millions of years ago God called a living germ, or living germ, into existence, and that since that time God has no more to do with the universe than if He did not exist. This is atheism to all intents and purposes, because it leaves the soul as entirely without God, without a Father, Helper, or Ruler, as the doctrine of Epicurus or of Comte.” Charles Hodge, Princeton Theologian, Systematic Theology, Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Co, 1975, vol. 2, p. 15
“To suppose that the eye… could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest possible. degree.” Charles Darwin, 1872
