IS BETH MOORE Your Idol?

This is NOT an attack on Beth Moore but rather an expose’ of Beth Moore’s attack on the LORD. WHO do you love more?

If a person gets upset because the teachings and influence of their favorite mere human celebrity teacher are examined against Holy Scripture, perhaps this identifies an idolatrous worship of that person in lieu of the LORD Himself (Ezekiel 14:3; Zechariah 11:17; Matthew 6:24).

Does Beth Moore have nail scarred hands and feet? (1 Corinthians 2:2)

The first video shows her saying that the Catholic church is part of the true body of Christ which is a huge RED FLAG revealing Moore is part of Satan’s end time apostasy of bringing all the churches – daughters of the great whore – under the banner of the one world Babylonian, apostate church (Revelation 17-18).

ANY person or organization being used to corral people under the illegitimate authority of the pope and Rome, is under the delusion and dominion of “the spirit of antichrist” and being used to bring about the prophesied one world religion (2 Thessalonians 2:1-12; 1 John 2:18; 4:1-6; Revelation 17-18). “Come OUT of her my people” says the LORD or you will perish with her! (Revelation 18:4) | Catholic Corruption

ANY person defending an antichrist or antichrist system is still under the spirit of antichrist and should at once repent and put their full faith in Jesus Christ alone, the only One who bled to redeem us from our sins.

“I think it is so telling that none of the false teachers that people are heaping to themselves, ever warn their following about End-time false teachers who people are heaping to themselves.  It is a dead give away.  The reason is because they are “It”.  If a believer does not know the Word of God and does not understand the abomination that eastern mysticism and Catholic spirituality and beliefs are, they will not be able to discern the incredibly cleaver deception that is about to flood the Christian World. These hugely influential leaders are going to convince multitudes that uniting with anyone who calls themselves a Christian is the Biblical plan for the Church. They are convinced they are taking Dominion in order to usher in Jesus and that they will undergo great persecution and resistance but they are really ushering in the Anti-Christ and his One World Religion.  Ammaaazzzing!  You can see it happening, as you listen to Beth Moore describe the future, as she sees it. WHAT AN INCREDIBLE DECEPTION  !” Karen

“Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their heart, and put the stumblingblock of their iniquity before their face: should I be enquired of at all by them?” Ezekiel 14:3

Any person who knows and loves the LORD Jesus Christ, is not even slightly impressed with the person or ministry of any mere man or men. The true disciple has rid his heart of all idols and only KING Jesus reigns there!

“… Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life. 21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.” 1 John 5:20-21

“But ye shall destroy their altars, break their images, and cut down their groves: 14 For thou shalt worship no other god: for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:” Exodus 34:13-14 

Only the Son of God can save the individual and if one refuses to relinquish all idolatry, he cannot be saved. If my identity is in my religion, denomination, or pastor, hell awaits my wicked soul.

“Beth Moore’s church also allowed a Muslim speaker who apparently read verses out of the Quran and chanted. This ‘bishop’ explained it as we have a inter-faith ministry and we are open to all faiths. Inter-faith simply means one world religion (ecumenical/catholic).” Karen Cochran

“Thou shalt have NO other gods before me.” Exodus 20:3

The remnant of Christ’s elect identify themselves by their bold and unrelenting identification with the Person of Jesus Christ.

Cease today looking to a human idol. Repent and ask the LORD to forgive this vile sin. YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN – in the sense of trusting and learning of the LORD. DO NOT depend on any man or system or you will not be with Christ. God sent His Son – not any other mere sinful man, system, pastor, or religion. It’s only in His only begotten Son that He is pleased and in those who are IN HIM – the divine Person of Christ whom He sent that we might know Him (John 17:3).

“NO OTHER” – get it? “Thou shalt have NO OTHER gods before me” saith the LORD Almighty (Exodus 20:3). Do we think this is the very FIRST commandment by accident?

To illustrate how so many people simply want to be entertained and so really could nearly care less about the content of what someone is talking about (Acys 17:11; 2 Timothy 4:2-4). To illustrate this, concerning Beth Moore, Cynthia A. notes:

“She could go out and talk about a toothpick and people would be in awe! I can hear it now! ‘I was in a restaurant and I saw a toothpick, and it came to mind. An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. You know what I am saying, ladies. I know you do because I see some of you nodding your heads! You know that feeling when you have a million things to do…drop the kids off at school, ball games, and prom dresses to pick out, the last thing you need is to meet someone with spinach in your teeth. God put that toothpick there for a reason…USE IT!!! Don’t get caught with spinach in you teeth. That is how the enemy steals your confidence. Does somebody get what I am saying!!!!’.

I used to watch her. She preaches self-esteem. She will take bits of verses and put them together and makes them what she wants them to be. I would never falsely accuse as that would make me as bad as she is. She is an emergent church apostate who leads people to the contemplative prayer, “Christian” yoga, “the god within prayer” which is an abomination to God.”

“I don’t think too many people consider the fact that if ANY one or ANY thing is on our minds more than GOD then it’s an idol.” Kim T.

“TRUTH!!!! That’s y they never talk about repentance… Awesome post .. I pray that all who follow them wake up soon before they all fall with them…. Anyone who doesn’t preach repentance is NOT for the true one and only Jesus.. I notice too about them.. They never go deep into the bible.. It’s always faith and prosperity which is not the GOSPEL at all… GBY.” Anna S.

“I put one her videos on about a year ago. The title was great! I had never heard of her. I was like, honey–just call yourself your a poor story teller and give it up! Nothing like the Bible! And people PAY her to this!!! She is somebody who always wanted to go into acting….blah. Sorry…I was just soooo let down!” Pamela M.

“I have no interest in all these women that think they are great teachers/preachers….they have ruined many women that try to copy them. They get their plastic surgery and make tons of money merchandising the gospel, to pay for it!” Joyce H.

“Too many women are too hungry for a woman to follow after. They will elevate the woman above the Truth of God, and He will never share His Glory. Beware the Jezebel spirit~ Often women will listen to a she~wolf simply because they are too offended to learn from the godly, biblical teaching of men. They are easy prey for the female false prophet who is seeking to devour them. Flee from evil! ~In Jesus name!” Bonnie R. Hutchins

“This is the problem with America today…and all the False Teachers in the pulpits and churches! God’s judgment starts with them. For they are far worse than unbelievers! It is a sad state of affairs – when we have millions of souls thinking they are serving God. Yet, in reality they serve nothing but man – and themselves! The enemy IS very subtle in having the REAL thing look just like that of God..remember what Pharoah’s courts could do..when Moses went in to show them Gods power and might…but Moses serpent ended up eating theirs! BUT..it goes to show how many saw the powers that look so real…and how the enemy appears as a”light” and can deceive many! Spiritual Discernment is NEEDED more than ever…it is a gift..only Holy Spirit can give..IF he is living within you as a true believer..for even the very elect can be deceived! We can still preach Gods word..spread the Gospel message FREE….without becoming RICH off it! Beth Moore is and has been into the ~~Emerging Church~~~ Apostasy for a very long time! She believes in Contemplative Prayer..a newer form of prayer that brings in Eastern Mythical beliefs! She also condones and promotes MANY of these people for their books and beliefs as well on New Age techniques! A very good website to get on and learn from is~ Lighthouse Trails~ they expose MANY False Teachers!” Frances P.

From lighthousetrailsresearch.com :

“[I]f we are not still before Him [God], we will never truly know to the depths of the marrow of our bones that He is God. There’s got to be a stillness.”–Beth Moore (In her book, When Godly People Do Ungodly Things), Moore says that “practicing God’s presence” has become extremely important to her; she points readers to Brennan Manning several times in the book and suggests that his contribution to “our generation of believers may be a gift without parallel” (p. 72). Her participation in Richard Foster’s DVD project, Be Still, and her recanting of an apology for being in the film which included a promotion of the Be Still contemplative message backs up Moore’s statements about Manning and the stillness.”

In essence, biblical meditation is thinking; and contemplative New Age meditation is simply not thinking … and that is something to think about.”

Concerning meditation, Richard Epps notes:

“All the eastern religions seek to eliminate the thought and yet the most productive thoughts are to meditate on the Wisdom of GOD in its many facets and there are many.”

Of Beth Moore’ teachings, carm.org concludes:

“We must be very careful when listening to a teacher.  Beth Moore, in my opinion, is not to be trusted to properly teach from the word of God.  She is leading many astray with her approval of contemplative prayer, personal revelations, and faulty biblical exegesis.  Yes, I know that many claim to have been helped by her.  That is fine, but the experience of feeling helped is not where truth lies.  Rather, it is God’s word that is the standard of what is good and bad, not if we are helped through the wolf of pop psychology in Christian terminology.  Therefore, I cannot endorse Beth Moore.”

FEEDBACK:

“This is so spot on! My ex pastor praises this women! She is the best of them all at Bible-twisting! I took a copy of When Godly People Do Ungodly Things, Page 121. I showed him how she quotes Catholic mystics and practices contemplative prayer. He shouted at me that, ‘If it was not for Beth Moore’ that he could not get up every Sunday and preach the gospel!” Cynthia A.

“Last week’s (Beth Moore) study I went to, she spent an hour and a half TALKING about John 1:1. It was excruciating. She tells personal stories and hardly ever talks about salvation. It’s all about self esteem with her, you have to value your self and know you are priceless in the sight of God. How can we be priceless in the sight of God if we are walking in sin and damnation?? I give her the OSAS preacher stamp. I’m not going to finish the study book I have, might just throw it away.” A. S.

“Thank you for continuing to sound the alarm. The Beth Moore industry is truly another illustration the spiritually impoverished mainstream.” Mark Case, ProclaimIt.org

“Great stuff. I was hoping someone would call out the errors in Beth Moore’s teachings. She’s right up there with Bill Hybels, Joel Osteen and others. Thanks for this article. I gladly shared. Keep on keeping on my friend.” Steve Sande

“Beth Moore never says a word about salvation or repentance. It is all self-esteem. To be a Christian you have to be lowly, and hated by the world. It is much easier to sit under these people and hear how great we are, but we are not. I have the fear for the Bride of Christ…she will come out of them. On Page 121 of her book “when godly people do ungodly things” she quotes Brother Lawrence, a Catholic mystic, and writes that this is her life’s goal. Jesus said I will never leave you, nor forsake you, yet with contemplative prayer you have to give God permission to come down to you… I think people that like Beth Moore keep the focus on man and not on the return of our blessed Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, which is our hope. They never warn we are in the last days, and that we should be leading people to the Lord.. Beth Moore uses a few of words God to promote the many words of her own. Jesus taught us how to pray, she teaches a different and dangerous way. Jesus taught us to humble ourselves. She teaches the lifting up of one’s self. Jesus gave the Gospel for free. She charges to get in. Her simulcasts are upwards of 3000,00, then the churches charge $10-20 a ticket. What of the poor? She dresses like a china doll and speaks from high and lofty places. To see her in person can cost $100.00’s a person. If one is looking for the Gospel it can be found where it has always been. Perhaps on a street corner, or where we least expect to find our it, but always hated, despised, and rejected my men. The was one who lifted himself up, who should have been humble…..Lucifer. The was one who was the Most High and became a lowly…..Jesus. Please, my dear Christian friends, we need to wake up. Time is short. The spirit of Antichrist is here.” Cynthia A.

I wrote the following to a man who asked who Beth Moore was and “why should I care?”:

Reply:

You should care because:

  1. Beth Moore is a teacher/celebrity who influences millions,
  2. If you love Jesus you will obey Him and “care” for those she is misleading and “mark” her so others can be warned and protected (Jude 3-4; Romans 16:17-18, etc.).

    All these fake Christians are an abomination to the Word of God. So many out there. Even Trump was fooled by Paula White because sadly Trump had no discernment he let this disgraceful woman pray over him. But it’s okay, God says that he uses the weak and foolish ones to confound the “wise.” There is still hope for Trump in being used by God if he himself admits and sees these phony fake Christians who did the same thing with Obama….wolves in sheep’s clothing…..all such evil diabolical fools who sold themselves out….we can only hope that more and more real believers wake up and see the lies and fools among them and come out of this cesspool of fakers and frauds and stand firm in what we know to be true. What good is it for a man or woman to gain the whole world but forfeit their soul? So many evil people everywhere in high positions so many my God it’s overwhelming at times, isn’t it? We feel overwhelmed by such liars and frauds and evil people, but take heart….these things must happen to usher in the antichrist, the one who will come and want us all to take that mark of the beast, right? Right. So be awake, be alert, don’t be fooled…we can’t lose heart because HE who is in us is GREATER than he who is in the world…GOD will win. God is in control. God knows what is going on. God sees all this evil and confusion and all the people who mislead so many people walking them off a cliff, selling lies and evil but we know who we belong to and who we must follow. Never give up. Never give in. At the name of Jesus EVERY knee shall bow and EVERY tongue shall confess that JESUS IS LORD. We don’t bow to anyone to appease the masses. We won’t bow to the evil ones. We are covered by the blood of Christ and we know that our Lord is the only one we can trust because there is no other name under heaven by which anyone can be saved than by the name of JESUS CHRIST the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. God save us all. Be safe be smart. Stay the course. Semper Fi.

    Amen brother. Semper Fi to Jesus Christ, right! Psalms 2. As you said Heaven’s KING is coming and it’s not going to be pretty for the wicked! Blood bath to the horse’s bridle! Explosive is an infinite understatement! Revelation 19:11-16. Blessings in Christ to you and your family brother.

The Sheep vs the Goats as Defined in Scripture [podcast]


“The goats feed their carnal appetite. The sheep of Christ feed on the Word of God! Jesus’ sheep know His voice. They follow and obey their Lord Jesus (John 10:27). The goats obey their fleshy desires (Galatians 5:16-21), and follow the hirelings and not the Great Shepherd, the LORD Jesus (John 10; Heb 13:20). Christ’s sheep are known by Him! (John 10:14,27; 1 Corinthians 8:3). The goats will be cast out and told, ‘I never knew you: depart from Me, ye that work iniquity.’ (Matthew 7:23). Terrifying words! Are you Jesus’ sheep, or are you a goat, a counterfeit? Search your heart today. Ask God if He knows you! It matters not if we claim to know Him. He must also know us, as this Scriptures clearly reveal!” Karen Cochran

“Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: 24  And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.” Psalms 139:23-24

Of sheep and goats, one source notes:

“Jesus shares the story of the Sheep and the Goats in Matthew 25:31–46 to describe the final judgment. In the story, the Son of Man separates all of humanity just like a shepherd sorts sheep from goats, placing the sheep on His right side and the goats on His left.”

The Naked Truth about Who’s Going to Heaven and Who’s Going to Hell

WANT to see those whom the LORD calls His own? Want to see who the true Heaven bound remnant are? Look at those who are about the “Father’s business” which is the Great Commission (Luke 2:49; 24:47; Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16:15; Acts, etc.). Everyone else is doing their own thing.

“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 7:21

With their life, the rebel declares “Not Thy will but mine be done!”

With their life, the righteous declare with Christ “not my will, but thine, be done” (Luke 24:42).

“At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. 21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. 22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world? 23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. 24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father’s which sent me.” John 14:21-24

“And hereby we do know that we know him, IF we keep his commandments. 4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. 6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.” 1 John 2:3-6

Walk and live as Jesus lived? Yes. Those who know and love Him are about the work and “the will of him that sent” them.

Take a look:

“Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work” (John 4:34). Jesus then speaks of evangelism, something every one of His people are to be doing (John 4:34-38).

“For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.” John 6:38

“And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.” John 6:40

“He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.” Matthew 12:30

Anyone not fully with Jesus, is against Him, the only Savior.

So you claim Christ as Savior but don’t participate in prayer, support, and Great Commission action? Time to repent for real. The fruit of your life is rotten. You are presently a Savior-rejecting, self-serving counterfeit.

Read 1 Corinthians 9. The first half is concerning our privilege to give to HIS work. Then the apostle Paul speaks of running the race, to the end, becoming all things to all men to see them saved, being crucified with Christ.

The more I read God’s Word, the more convinced I am that the Heaven bound remnant are known in that they are about the “Father’s business” —the Great Commission—and not their own (Luke 2:49). They have laid down and are forsaking their own lives in this fleeting world in their supreme love for Christ Jesus (Acts 20:24). Anyone claiming to be Christ’s and not doing, participating in the Great Commission command … clearly reveals that they are in need of repentance, before it’s too late. Jesus is not their “first love” —which means they are committing spiritual adultery on Christ, the Great and coming Bridegroom (Revelation 2:4-5). Repent and obey Him or perish.

If you are committed to Christ, with no exception, you are committed to studying, knowing, and walking out His Word. You are committed to carrying out the Savior’s Great Commission command.

YOUR PRAYER: Right now dear holy and heavenly Father, please begin a fresh work in this heart. May Your love fill this heart and may You alone be my “first love.” May the love in me for You burn. Let it far exceed all other loves and interests! In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Dirty Ox Stalls bring Dividends [podcast]


An intriguing proverb that applies directly to our daily lives and the stewardship of the time our LORD has afforded us in this brief life. Gaining traction via the wisdom of our great God and King Jesus Christ. How to avoid spending our lives “spinning our wheels.”

“Where no oxen are, the crib is clean: but much increase is by the strength of the ox.” Proverbs 14:4 

The blessing of a dirty ox stall…. What’s most important to God is productivity, not neatness, not tidy-ness, not a clean stall.

Here’s a proverb from the Holy Spirit and Solomon which breathe wisdom into our lives. Let’s read it again:

“Where no oxen are, the crib is clean: but much increase is by the strength of the ox.” Proverbs 14:4

The proverbs of the LORD we have in His Word hold hidden meaning which breathe wisdom into our lives. 

A proverb is a figure of speech, words that impart truth by using natural illustrations to convey spirit truths.

Jesus taught in parables. Parables are earthly stories with heavenly meaning, divine wisdom to establish us in our relationship with Him as we love, worship and obey the LORD.

This is exactly what we have in Proverbs 14:4, where an ox and his stall are featured in order to convey the divine truth that productivity is more important to God than the pettiness of cleanliness.

The proverbs often use simple images to convey a deeper moral or practical lesson.

Active, working oxen bring dirt and dividends. Clean ox stalls glitter but produce no gold.

When commenting on this proverb, one man said: “Don’t be deterred by the dung.”

Fruitful saints aren’t known by how clean their house is but rather how full, how abundant their treasure in in Heaven (Matthew 6:19-21). Their prayer and work is focused upon pleasing their LORD Jesus and not with how clean their temporal living space looks, by how sparkling clean their life looks to mere sinful men.

One pastor notes the following about the divine truth imparted to us in Proverbs 14:4:

“There are some proverbs that stick in our heads more than others and this is one of them for me.  The image is memorable and the lesson is unforgettable.  Solomon paints the picture of a barn without oxen and because of no oxen, the stalls are clean and pristine.  This is a barn that the perfectionist likes; a barn that can be organized, cleaned and maintained without interruption.  This is a barn that the neat freak and the clean freak crave; a barn that they can come into and know that everything is clean and tidy.  This is a barn that needs no work.  This is a barn that, after working in the field, demands no additional time or effort to clean.  This is a barn that needs no attending to after hours.  It demands no thought when heading out of town.  It never smells.  It doesn’t even make a sound.  There is no sickness in this barn nor does death ever visit its crib.  This is a barn that requires no food or water and as such, it doesn’t require any constant removal of dung.  It’s clean and pristine! …  While that sounds appealing to the average man or woman, the average farmer doesn’t pursue an empty crib.  He knows that the tradeoff is well worth it.  It’s the cost of doing business in agriculture.  He knows that he could farm his land on his own and that he could produce “some” increase on his own.  He knows that he doesn’t need oxen to till the ground, to sow the seed or to harvest the crops but if he’s going to have “MUCH” increase, he needs oxen and there are no oxen that clean up after themselves.”

The mess is worth the money.

The dirt is worth the dividends it brings. 

Dirty spaces bring special graces.

The progress and productivity are worth the pile of trash.

Men who are dirty from working all day will go home with fruitfulness for their family. They are satisfied and blessed to do so and so we wake up the next morning and gladly go do the same. The trade off that brings wages is worth it. 

This proverb also brings into mind the harvest that can being produced by you alone, in contrast with the harvest produced having others to labor with you to bring forth “much increase.”

Also, by not inviting others to join you in doing our LORD’s work, we deprive them from being blessed to lay up treasure in Heaven as our LORD commanded each of us who His children to do (Matthew 6:19-21).

The following is from Josh Denhart:

“In ministry we think, “If you want a job done right, do it yourself.” You may avoid messes, but you have just stepped into the “Trap of the Clean Stall”.

Proverbs 14:4 reads, “Where no oxen are, the crib is clean: but much increase is by the strength of the ox. “

In the ancient agrarian world, animals brought a massive advantage. To have an animal meant you could accomplish so much more. Today we refer to a car as having a certain amount of “horse power”. In times past, an animal brought with it a certain amount of power. Power to increase the harvest and get the job done. Here, the writer of Proverbs is referring to “Ox Power”. The power and advantage is brought through the strength of an ox.

The writer of Proverbs says that it is really a trade off. On one hand you get a significant increase through the strength of an ox, yet with it you get, poop. Yes, good, ol’ fashioned ox poop.

Goal: Huge Harvest

Let’s compare the alternative. You have no oxen, but you have an amazingly clean manger stall.

More harvest with a poopy stall vs. a perfectly clean stall and a diminished harvest.

Our goal is not a clean stall. Our goal is a huge harvest. A natural side effect of a huge harvests are messes. What do you want? Do you crave a super clean stall over a bountiful harvest? Listen, a tidy stall in and of itself is a bad trade for a compromised harvest.

Let me shoot straight with you. I have a well-managed case of OCD. I crave order. If you serve in children’s ministry, you probably do too. I hate disorder. Yet the calling of the harvest trumps our neurotic desire for order.

Do not fall into the trap of the clean stall.

You Can’t Do It Alone

We must define our goal for the harvest over and over! Our goal is reaching the lost through equipping the fold. Our ultimate goal is not order for order sake. Our goal is the good news of Jesus going deep into the hearts and heads of kids, which brings messes. Get used to it. And get over it.

the-trap-of-the-clean-stall

We can have order as we achieve a large harvest, but uncomfort with messes can short circuit great harvests.

Let’s take this proverbial analogy a step further. You as a ministry leader are essentially the farmer. You can’t and don’t want to do it alone. You need help. Those willing to help you from a staff or a volunteer perspective can bring great strength and accomplish more for the harvest than you by yourself. And, yes, I am equating associates and volunteers to oxen.

The Harvest is Plentiful

Oxen and people are living beings. Both bring messes. Farming, like ministry, is just messy. Jesus said He came not for the healthy but for the sick. Sick people vomit physically and emotionally, have issues and need attention. That is our job. Years ago, someone sarcastically said, “Ministry would be great were it not for all these people!”

Listen, if you want order more than you want the harvest, you may find yourself doing it alone. Doing it alone equals to a field white for harvest with no one to get the job done. The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. More workers means more messes. We as farmers must manage the messes and rise above the stall to see the harvest.

Do you want a harvest more than you want order? Absolutely. Therefore, we had better embrace the reality of a poopy stall.  Do not fall into the trap of the clean stall.”

One has to roll up his sleeves and get dirty to produce dividends to the glory of the divine.

Ever see construction works at the end of a work day? They are dirty and yet earned dollars, dividends. They will do it the next day also. Why? – because the trade off is productivity, earning that which is desirable.

Lots of work brings movement and a mess.

Lot’s of dirt when you much to diligently do and bring dividends.

A clean workspace brings no coin.

Do you want to work and get dirty, cause a mess, and yet make a profit? Or do you want to keep your place clean with the outcome being no coin?

The blessing of “much increase” comes at the expense of a clean crib, work space. It’s a bless-ed trade-off, right?

Personally, I could care less about a disheveled work place. My goal is to be fruitful, fruit-filled for Christ, bearing – “fruit … more fruit … much fruit.” (John 15)

In your business life, would you rather a disheveled work space and work to do, or a clean work space with no work?

It is better to have dirt to clean up with work that brings wages than to have a clean work place with no work.

Increase in material prosperity, productivity, fruitfulness comes by utilizing the oxen for labor and as a result there will be a mess made. The fruit produced far outweighs having to clean the stall, the work place.

“A barn can be kept cleanly swept where there are no oxen, but isn’t it better to have some dust and dirt around, knowing that the labor of an ox will lead to a bountiful harvest? The rewards of toil more than compensate for its disagreeable aspects.

This proverb is not intended to encourage homes or chapels that look like disaster areas. But it does discourage that passion for order and dustlessness that puts the brakes on progress and productiveness.” Believer’s Bible Commentary

Dust and dirt bring dividends.

Productivity makes for progress.

The grind brings the goods.

Labor brings some loot.

Someone has wisely stated:

“Salons always have hair on the floor.
Garages always have oil on the floor.”

The oxen serve a good purpose and produce productivity.

What is it to have a clean work place? That just means you aren’t being productive, you don’t have work that is bring wages and blessings.

“Straining at a gnat”…. Swallowing a Camel

This idiom Jesus uses means over-emphasizing the minors while under-emphasizing the majors, “the weightier matters of the law.”

Matthew 23

“Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. 

24  Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel. 

25  Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess. 

26  Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also. 

27  Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men’s bones, and of all uncleanness. 

28  Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity. “

Martha and Mary – Mary had the Divine Priorities in their Rightful Place

“38  Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.
39  And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus’ feet, and heard his word.
40  But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.
41  And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things:
42  But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.”

At His Feet

No, it’s not a sin to keep things clean, to be organized. Yet, at the judgment, Jesus is not going to say “Oh wow, you kept your living and workspace clean! Enter thou into the joy of the LORD.” No, but rather….

“His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.” Matthew 25:21

At the coming judgment what we did for His glory, in His holy name, will be rewarded.

Matthew 25

“And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. 

34  Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 

35  For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: 

36  Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. 

37  Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? 

38  When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? 

39  Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? 

40  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.” 

Read John 15 and underline “fruit” and “more fruit” and “much fruit.” “Fruit” emanates from the life that is soundly grounded in an abiding relationship with Jesus Christ.

“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. 17  These things I command you, that ye love one another.” John 15:16-17

Top 12 Missing Essential Doctrines in the Modern Church World! [podcast]


DOES THIS SOUND LIKE YOUR “CHURCH” OR FAVORITE PREACHER? It’s real simple… if they are not preaching the cardinal doctrines of the original Gospel given to us in the New Testament, they are preaching “another gospel” and are “accursed.” (Galatians 1:6-9).

“For MANY DECEIVERS ARE ENTERED INTO THE WORLD, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. 8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. 9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. 10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: 11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.” 2 John 1:7-11

Modern church wolves refuse to preach the original Gospel of Jesus Christ from the pages of Holy Scripture and in the power of the Holy Ghost. No, instead they preach sermonettes that cater to the self-worshiping idolaters they entertain and collect money from (2 Timothy 3:1-7). They don’t even use the King James Bible but rather some cheap counterfeit. Their ear-tickling topics range from healing damaged emotions, 5 love languages, best life now, recovery, learning to love yourSELF, coping platitudes, loneliness, psychobabble band aids, law of attraction, being a successful single, purpose driven delusionment, etc.

Fake “bibles” Exposed

LOTS of lying going on when we have counterfeits peddling affirmation without salvation, the “promise” of things “getting better” when their prey are heading straight to hell. Especially certain social media platforms are flooded with this false gospel coming out of “Christians.” There is no sin or repentance in their message which alone identifies it as a false gospel. You see, the things that are happening to the sinners around us are allowed by God in order to lead them to repentance and yet, the counterfeits among us are assuring those sinners it’s all going to get better and never giving them the 10 Commandments to show them they are sinners (Galatians 3:24) and then, leading them to Jesus (Romans 10:9-10, 13, etc.).  10 Commandments Evangelism

In the modern church world, there is …..

No cross. No Jesus. No blood. No judgment. No sin. No repentance. No hell. No readiness for the soon return of Jesus. No Heaven. No equipping preparation for ministry. No Scripture memory. No holiness. No Messianic prophecies and their fulfillment. No Christology. No fear of God. No repentance. etc., all of which are Bible doctrines essential to salvation and/or essential to sound foundation in Christ and are missing in the modern church world.

“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15

The only reason we, each of us has been deceived in the past is due to our own biblical ignorance (Proverbs 24:5; Hosea 4:6; 2 Timothy 2:15). Lacking the knowledge of the Word, we didn’t see what they were LEAVING OUT. We didn’t know to discern what they were teaching and what they were NOT teaching. Now, as we grow in the knowledge of the LORD through diligent daily study of His Word, we know to look for the cardinal doctrines of the Christian faith.

THE TOP ESSENTIAL BIBLICAL DOCTRINES NEVER HEARD IN THE APOSTATE MODERN CHURCH WORLD!

  1. The divinity of Jesus Christ (John 1:1-4, 14; 1 Timothy 3:16). | Jesus Christ is God
  2. The virgin birth of the only begotten Son of God (Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:23). | The Virgin Birth of Jesus
  3. The essential precious blood of Jesus Christ (Matthew 26:28; Hebrews 9:22; 1 Peter 1:18-19). | The Blood
  4. The inherent fallen nature of mankind (Genesis 6:5, 12; Jeremiah 17:9; Romans 7:18). | Fallen, Sinful Man
  5. Worshipping God not idols (Exodus 20:3-5). | Idolatry
  6. The essential doctrine and necessity of repentance (Luke 13:3). | Repentance
  7. The Return of Christ and being ready for it (Luke 12:40; 21:34-36). | The Return
  8. Who Jesus is returning for and who will be shut out of His eternal kingdom (Matthew 25:1-13; Ephesians 5:25-27). | Ready for Christ’s Return
  9. The essential of enduring to the end to be with Christ eternally, initial and final salvation (Matthew 10:22; 24:13; Hebrews 3:6, 12-15; 10:26-30; Revelation 2:26). | Enduring to the End
  10. The essential daily cross, the crucified life, which Jesus required in following Him (Luke 9:23-24). | Living the Crucified Life
  11. Forgiving all others from the heart (Matthew 18:21-35). | Forgiveness
  12. Walking in God’s love (Ephesians 5:1). | The Love Walk
  13. Holiness – including the necessity of personal holiness (Hebrews 12:14; 1 Peter 1:15-16). | Holiness
  14. Judgment (Psalms 9:15-17). | Judgment
  15. Hell (Matthew 8:12; Mark 3:29; Luke 16:19-31). | Hell
  16. Fearing God (Psalms 2:11; Luke 12:4-5). | Fearing God

When’s the last time you heard verses like this in the modern church?

“So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.” Luke 14:33

“Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.” Luke 17:33

The modern church is going down in flames into the flames of hell. It cannot be reformed. Come out from it.

“And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.” Revelation 18:4

In 2 Timothy 4:3 to “endure sound doctrine” means to hold oneself accountable to it. WHAT’s at the root of those who refuse to “endure sound doctrine”? – They simply do not love Jesus like He commanded them to (Matthew 22:37-39). They profess Christ as Savior and yet love self supremely and therefore serve the god of self. The Holy Ghost through Paul told us this of those who have a mere “form of godliness” in the last day resumé found in 2 Timothy 3:1-7.

Notice by divine design the very first thing he reveals is that “men shall be lovers of their own selves.” All the following evil comes out of self love, refusal to love God supremely and therefore repent, deny self, take up the cross and follow Jesus:

“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2  For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3  Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4  Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5  Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 6  For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7  Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.” 2 Timothy 3:1-7

God is toppling all the heart idols (Ezekiel 14:3)… because He’s Jealous and wants us looking to Him and not these mere men, these vile wolves, these celebrity sinners posing as His representatives (Exodus 34:14).

“For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:” Exodus 34:14
