Beware of the Coping Cons

The world offers all kinds of symptom-masking band aids to mankind’s problems. Sin is the core dilemma of man and only Christ can bring the root-level solution.

Most “ministry” today is all about helping people make sense of their own life in this fleeting world. It’s completely surface level, self-focused and therefore futility (Philippians 3:18-19; 2 Timothy 4:2-4, etc.). Regrettably, we nearly never hear the original Gospel message of Christ with its cardinal doctrines, of losing your life in this world, denying self and dying to self so Jesus can reign, the danger and reality of eternal damnation in hell, judgment to come, repentance and bearing good fruit, the return of Jesus, or the essential of personal holiness in light of the return of Christ, etc. It’s a cross-less, counterfeit false gospel saints which we are commanded to “earnestly contend” against (Jude 3-4).

We hear: “I need peace.”

No, you need Christ, more of Him who is the Prince of peace and revealed in His Word (Psalms 119:165; Isaiah 9:6-7). His peace will follow seeking, knowing, worshipping, trusting, obeying Him (John 14-15).

We hear: “I need to overcome sin.”

Yes, yet it’s in Christ, the cross, the crucified life, that victory over sin happens, and no other way (Luke 9:23-24; Galatians 2:20; Colossians 3:3; 2 Corinthians 4:10-12, etc.).

ALL cults, heretical systems, and false prophets have a common denominator: Jesus Christ is not elevated as God, Creator of all that is, the only Savior, the Almighty, the supreme HEAD of His one church, and worthy to be obeyed. Colossians 1-2 is paramount to our walk with Heaven’s coming KING.

Colossians

IF YOU WILL BE PLANTED DEEP INTO CHRIST, YOUR CHRISTOLOGY, YOUR STUDY OF, YOUR PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE OF CHRIST MUST BE EVER-DEEPENING, NOT SHALLOW (COLOSSIANS 2:6-10).

The modern church is too busy to study Christ Himself because they’re too busy trying to use Him to get what they want. Let that soak in as you remember how long it’s been since you’ve heard a message specifically about Heaven’s King. Most modern “pastors” probably don’t even know what the word Christology means.

Christology = the study of Christ.

Christology

The world uses “treatments,” they have “treatment centers” which don’t treat MAN’S CORE DILEMMA – SIN. Only Jesus can change a life! (2 Corinthians 5:17-18)

The divine solution is always in God’s Word.

“According as his divine power hath given unto us ALL things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises (in the Holy Scriptures specifically): that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.” 2 Peter 1:3-4

In God’s Word, the “exceeding great and precious promises” of our great God provide the answers for God’s people in “all things that pertain unto life and godliness.” Any person looking outside of God’s Word for God’s wisdom is seeking some other way and is wayward from the LORD.

The healing, deliverance, and solution is always going to be found found in God’s Word – so if you aren’t daily in God’s Word, you can forget walking in His blessings – you’ve already backslidden:

“He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.” Psalms 107:20

Yet today’s wolves offer band aids. Nothing has changed – “There’s no new thing under the sun” (Ecclesiastes 1:9). If you want to see what false leaders are doing today, you must study what God says about them in His Word and peer into what the LORD’s prophets and holy apostles said of them. Today’s priesthood of wolves are no different than those of Jeremiah’s day. Catch this:

“They (the false leaders) have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly (band aids), saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.” Jeremiah 6:14

“For they (the false leaders) have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.” Jeremiah 8:11

Have you noticed that the messages from today’s false priesthood always seem to deal with surface issues, merely coping as they deceitfully psychologize the faith of the original Gospel?

Today, we often hear a lot about the biblical doctrines of grace, faith, and mercy and yet seldom hear of the biblical doctrines of the cross of Christ, the crucified life God calls us to, repentance, abiding in Christ, enduring to the end to be saved, bringing forth good fruit, holiness, and being ready for Christ’s return.

“Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.” Colossians 2:8

Jason Lohse writes: “90% of what passes as Christian these days, is just a mix of tickling ears and political correctness. No one can take being offended, and that’s the beginning of the gospel. It coincides with the fear of the Lord, fearing Him offends the self in us and forces us into the crucified life.”

Get it? The wolf is known in that he entertains goats and doesn’t feed sheep. There’s the counterfeit “church” attender who’s just wading through life, attempting to just coast. Not. Hell awaits the lukewarm (Revelation 3:15-16). Then, there’s the few who truly repented, are laying down their lives daily, walking in an abiding fellowship with Jesus, and are fruitful in relationship and doing Gospel ministry (John 15). Today’s pastors love and use the counterfeits by simply crafting their half-truth messages to coddle the tares in their self-serving, sinful, self-idolatrous lifestyle. The lake of fire awaits.

When someone speaks biblical truth, they are offended as Scripture foretold (2 Timothy 4:2-4).

“They hate him that rebuketh in the gate (the mere messenger), and they abhor him that speaketh uprightly.” Amos 5:10

The apostle Paul asks this rhetorical question:

“Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?” Galatians 4:16

The declaring of biblical truth in a bold, non-apologetic fashion only sounds rude to those who are cold, dead, backslidden, unrepentant, and lukewarm. They have fallen away, they have died spiritually due to not being in God’s Word daily for themselves. They are not right with God but rather in darkness and in utter need of truly repenting before it’s too late (John 3:19-21). The remnant of Christ’s few, His elect, daily feed on and thrive in His truth – they are keeping themselves in the love of God and therefore “Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth” (1 Corinthians 13:6).

“And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” Matthew 16:18

Jesus told us that “the gates of hell shall not prevail against it” – that is, the gates of hell will not prevail against the attack of the true body of Christ whom Jesus is working in and through (Matthew 16:18). Think: Gates simply sit idle and so obviously the frontal attack of Christ’s servants is obvious – as they preach the light of divine truth which is piercing the darkness of hell’s kingdom and in the hearts of men!

“And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.” Matthew 11:12

Read and heed the context of Scripture, the Bible stories, etc. which is in DOING THE GOSPEL, preaching, ministering, and never just attending “church,” coping with self serving issues in lukewarmness, warming a pew, in a self-serving, consumerism lifestyle of a mere “form of godliness … Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth” (2 Timothy 3:5, 7). Read the book of Acts. Also, see Luke 10:19; Acts 16, Revelation 12:11, etc.

SIN is the issue and not some mental disorder. Many apply mere band aids. People only have mental instability etc., due to the root of their sin. Jesus alone can get to the root and deliver, redeem, and forgive all sin – but only when there is true repentance.

Medical Doctors, Medicine, and the Messiah

God’s Word is our medicine, especially for the spirit, soul, and mind (Proverbs 4:20-23; Jeremiah 15:16, etc.).

“Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. 2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. 3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.” Psalms 1:1-3

SIN is the root of most mental disorders. The LORD gives His children – those who truly repent and live in obedience to Him – a “sound mind” (2 Timothy 1:7). Jesus alone can get to the root and deliver, redeem, forgive all sin, and make whole. Repenting as often as needed is essential. Refreshing will follow (Acts 3:19).

God created the human spirit, soul, and body and is the final Authority over it (1 Corinthians 3:16-17; 6:19-20; 1 Thessalonians 5:23).

King Asa trusted in the doctors instead of the LORD:

“And Asa in the thirty and ninth year of his reign was diseased in his feet, until his disease was exceeding great: yet in his disease he sought not to the LORD, but to the physicians. 13 And Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the one and fortieth year of his reign.” 2 Chronicles 16:12-13

Like Asa, many today trust the counsel of mere men, such as doctors and not God. This doesn’t mean going to a doctor is a sin and yet, the true disciple will primarily trust and obey and be led of the LORD, not men.

“But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” Hebrews 11:6

What’s at the Root of the Refusal to Preach the Whole Counsel of God’s Word?

Self-idolatry.

They are building a church busine$$ on the backs of counterfeits who refuse to study and discern by God’s Word (Acts 17:10-11).

“(For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: 19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly [carnal appetites], and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)” Philippians 3:18-19

WE cannot and will not possibly preach a cross we’re not personally taking up! (Galatians 2:20)

There are “MANY false Prophets” Among Us!

“Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.” 1 John 4:1

The Modern Day frauds many call “pastors” are simply not teaching people to read the Bible. Wasn’t this foretold for these final days before Christ’s return? People are being “destroyed for lack of knowledge” of God’s Word which we all have full access to.

“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: …” Hosea 4:6

Modern hirelings are not teaching the Bible. Nor, or they encouraging the people to study God’s Word, much less to do so daily, diligently, and thoroughly – and with the real Bible, the King James Bible. If on a rare occasion, you see a minister today seeking to get people in God’s Word for themselves, he’s usually reading from and encouraging others to read one of Satan’s false “bibles” instead of the King James Bible. This is in fulfillment of the prophecy of the LORD’s prophet Amos, we see a great hunger ….

“Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:” Amos 8:11

The lies of this fallen world which bombard believers daily, is reinforced by the intentional refusal of today’s pastors to simply “preach the word” (2 Timothy 4:2-4). Hell awaits these vile wolves and all who follow them instead of Christ – we have God’s Word on it (2 Peter 2:1-3; 2 John 9-11).

As a result of this prophesied “famine” for God’s Word ….

“Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:” Amos 8:11

The Root Determines the Fruit [podcast]

Don’t Like the Fruit? Check the Root. “The worse storms test the strength of our anchor.” unknown Jesus says we know/discern people “by their fruits” yet He did NOT say anyone is saved by their fruits (Matthew 7:16, 20). The fruit of someone’s life reveals the chosen root of their life. The root determines the fruit. The fruit is determined by the root (Matthew 12:33). There is a distinct fruit produced when you plant an apple seed which begins to germinate and a tree with roots develops, takes root into the ground. Then comes to apples. The same is true […]

“Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; 15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.” Hebrews 2:14-15 Through death Jesus conquered sin, death, and Satan and made His people free, washing away their sins in His precious blood and putting His Holy Spirit in them, empowering them to live fruit-filled victorious lives to His eternal glory! Christ’s resurrection guarantees our resurrection – […]

The Flesh will Never be Reformed it Must be Crucified [podcast]

The Divine Prescription is Clear and there are No Shortcuts “And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.” Galatians 5:24 There are lots of people peddling the lie of “self care” which is ultimately nothing more than absolute selfishness. Pure evil. Such only perpetuates the prey, the victim, in their misery. The only way to deal with the wicked iniquitous nature, is to crucify it, not pamper it (Luke 9:23-24). It’s your time to get into God’s Word and follow Jesus (KJB). Repent, deny yourself, lay down your life and serve God and […]

Sin is Rooted in the Hearts of Men [podcast]

“The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” Jeremiah 17:9

Jesus taught us that man’s sin comes out of his “desperately wicked” heart (Jeremiah 17:9).

“And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. 21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, 22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: 23 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.” Mark 7:20-23

Mankind’s core dilemma is sin (Romans 1-3). Jesus Christ came and died to “save his people from their sins,“ to “taketh away the sin of the world,“ and not to merely deal with fallen man on a surface level as on a mental level (Matthew 1:21; John 1:29). God doesn’t band aid broken things, He heals and makes them whole to the root because the root determines the fruit (Matthew 12:33; Luke 4:18, etc.). Christ’s salvation is perfect. Evil is in our hearts and proceeds forth from that wicked heart until Christ regenerates us (Genesis 6:5, 12; Jeremiah 17:9; John 3:3, 7; Titus 3:5-7). This is why the sinner must of divine necessity be born again, must be made completely new “by the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Ghost” (Titus 3:5-7). Then and not before then, the born again saint of Christ is made a “a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 18 And all things are of God” (2 Corinthians 5:17-18).

The Truth about Fallen Mankind – That Includes You!

“And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.” Genesis 6:5

“And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.” Genesis 6:12

“The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” Jeremiah 17:9

“For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. … O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?” Romans 7:18, 24

Is Romans 7 Before or After Paul’s Salvation?

Don’t trust yourself, trust God and deny self! “He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered” (Proverbs 26:28).

Only Satan and his children live by the diabolical edict of “be true to yourself.” Knowing how wretched they are of themselves, without Christ, those who are known of God live by “Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. 7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.” (Proverbs 3:5-6)

People don’t have a “mental health” problem, they have a SIN problem and sin is what gives way, gives full access to Satan!

“Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:” Hebrews 12:14

“The state of continual sanctification, that life of purity and detachment from the world and all it’s lusts, without which detachment and sanctity no man shall see the Lord-shall never enjoy His presence in the world of blessedness. To see God, in the Hebrew phrase, is to enjoy Him; and without holiness of heart and life this is impossible. No soul can be fit for heaven that has not suitable dispositions for the place.” Adam Clark’s commentary on Holiness. Hebrews 12:14

YOUR PRAYER FOR A PURE HEART: Holy Father, I come to You in the name of Jesus, desiring to be pure in heart so that I may see, enjoy, and be with You. Help me please dear LORD. Purify my heart and life of all wicked imaginations and iniquity that defile me in Your holy eyes. Please purify and cleanse me LORD and I know You require me to purify myself and to obey You. In Jesus’ name, please forgive all my sins by Thy precious blood dear LORD Jesus. In Jesus’ name, amen.

He’s only coming back for “Them that look for him.” Am I in love with Jesus? Or, am I just religious? Am I an authentic disciple of Jesus or a self-serving counterfeit?

Yes. (Hebrews 3:6, 12-15; 10:26-39, etc.) “He that covereth his sins shall not […]

“Sin lieth at the door.” Genesis 4:7 One writer takes a shot at this in the following words: “Jesus died for our sins. He is the sin offering for all humanity: past, present, and future.

So in short, if you reject the offering, meaning Christ and the Cross, ‘then sin lieth at the door.’ This means sin will DOMINATE you if any other method is used.” “Sin lieth at the door” – Temptation to sin presents itself perpetually and this is why prayer, abiding communion, perpetual communication with the Savior, command central, is […]

“Be Strong in the Grace that is in Christ Jesus” – 2 Timothy Chapter 2 [podcast]

A Good Soldier of Christ Jesus

1 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.

3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.

4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.

5 And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.

6 The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits.

7 Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.

8 Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel:

9 Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound.

10 Therefore I endure all things for the elect’s sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

11 It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him:

12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:

13 If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.

A Workman Approved by God

14 Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers.

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

16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.

17 And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;

18 Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.

19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.

21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work.

22 Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

23 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.

24 And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,

25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;

26 And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.
