The Missing R of the Modern Church
ARE we preaching repentance? Jesus commanded: “And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.” (Luke 24:47) Life with Christ begins at the moment of true repentance which is a laying down of one’s life. The best life now theology used by so many beguilers never mentions sin much less the necessity to repent and is feeding the self-life, the self-idolatry and self-worship of many who vainly believe they are Christ’s. After a nice nutritious dinner, dessert is a blessing and yet, not before there’s the meat and potatoes. The same is true with our spiritual diet. Favor, prosperity, coping, and getting God to give you more stuff are not foundational biblical doctrines. Let me ask you if you know the six principal doctrines of Christ? Could you recite them? Do you know where they are listed? This is the perfection or maturity Paul tells us to go on to (Hebrews 6:1-2).
Is the modern church and its foolish, Scripture-despising, Christ-denying programs coddling and perpetuating the gullible in their sins? Where’s the real deliverance? Where is Jesus? Where’s the truly setting free of bound souls by the power of Jesus Christ we see throughout the Gospels and in the book of Acts?
“Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord.” Acts 3:19
Genuine repentance is when God’s richest spiritual blessings begin to flow into our lives. We must do things His way and never seek to circumvent His process (Psalms 119:105; Jeremiah 1:10; Luke 9:23-24, etc.).
BUZZ WORD ALERT: “God is positioning you!” is the cry of many false prophets who paint an un-biblical picture as they misuse Scripture, taking it out of context – to exploit and give false hope to their prey for their own self-serving purposes (Philippians 3:18-19; 2 Peter 2:1-3). But what is biblical positioning? What is the biblical position on positioning? Did Jesus die on that cross to position you to be rich in this world or the next? (Matthew 6:19-21; Luke 12, 16, etc.) Notice that modern wolves who use this “positioning” buzz word to trick the ungrounded NEVER use this verse below which is paramount to our POSITION with God:
“And hath raised us up together, and made us SIT TOGETHER (our position in Christ!) in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:” Ephesians 2:6
Because Jesus Christ is seated at the right hand of His Father in Heaven, means that we His beloved blood-bought people are in Him and also positionally seated with Him in glory!
“Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,” Ephesians 1:20
Your position IN CHRIST is the position that anchors your soul in heavenly places IN CHRIST!
Beware of the Buzz Words of the Modern Church World … You see, in the modern church world pop psychology is the order of the day, not God’s Word … They have changed the original Gospel and are preaching “another gospel.” (Galatians 1:6-9). Relevance, restoration, renewal, recovery … There’s the emphasis on the weakness and sin of Christians without the slightest mention of the total victory Christ died to purchase for us if we will do things His way – by way of that cross He commanded us to take up. The cross is nowhere to be heard in this false theology which is “another gospel.”
The buzz words “relevance” and “relevant” are used due to their refusal to “Come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.” (2 Corinthians 6:17) This is a command and a condition. Did you catch them both?
It seems apparent that the seeker-friendly, emergent church leaders and adherents desire to be like the world – to not come out of it but to conform to it.
“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” Romans 12:1-2
Coddle Talk, Coddle Sessions
The false teachings heard in the modern church world are perpetuating people in their sins.
“Thy prophets have seen vain and foolish things for thee: and they have not discovered thine iniquity, to turn away thy captivity; but have seen for thee false burdens and causes of banishment.” Lamentations 2:14
In the modern church world, there’s no mention of deliverance or the power of Jesus Christ for the believer to “Be ye holy; for I am holy.” (1 Peter 1:15-16) This all comes with true repentance (Acts 3:19, etc.).
Why such lame theology? Why the false gospel? Why the deliberate ignoring of Christ’s power we see so often demonstrated in His life in the Gospels and in the early church in Acts? Well, they rarely speak of sin much less repenting from it. Repentance is the essential missing R – the missing cardinal doctrine. Any church, ministry, or leader who does not often speak of sin, repentance and overcoming power through Jesus Christ the LORD, is a false church/ministry/leader.
By the way the modern church wolves speak, you’d think that God has lost all His power and no longer saves and delivers people from the bondage of sin.
In the divine economy, as is made more than certain and clear in God’s Word, the saint of Christ, by the power of the life of Christ, is to dominate sin. We “are MORE than conquerors” through Jesus Christ (Romans 8:37). Sin cannot have dominion over the presently abiding disciple of Jesus – that would be an utter impossibility (Romans 6:14; John 15:1-6, etc.).
Oh yeah, they sit around and confess their sins in detail. They cry on each other’s shoulders and whine and become transparent but there’s no power or preaching of the sin-conquering grace of Jesus Christ. So, no one ever truly gets delivered. Why? – Because they are not continuing in the truth of God – the Word of God.
“As he spake these words, many believed on him. 31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, IF ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” John 8:30-32
The above promise of Jesus was spoken by Him to those who had already “believed on him.” His freedom is conditional. It’s reserved exclusively for those who “continue” with Him by obeying His Word.
Jesus’ power is sure, steadfast, decisive, and absolute.
—– SEEKER-FRIENDLY, Emergent church wolves are trapped within a lame community of moral cowards who are enterprisingly building their church businesses by half-stepping and tiptoeing as they carefully maneuver around certain biblical truths and purposely ignore others. Moral pansies? You decide. They try to be “relevant” with the young crowd they prey upon. They attempt to come off as cool with their nifty little sayings and pretend to care for their audiences. Yet …. “Having a (mere) form of godliness but denying the power (authority) thereof …. Ever learning yet never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.” (2 Tim. 3:7) They question non-negotiable Bible truths, talk about a “journey” that they never truly make progress on, use the words “relevant,” “explore” and other buzz words like this in order to draw in more followers while refusing to just come straight out with the divine truth which always begins with the command to “repent.” (Matt. 3:2; 4:17; Lk. 24:47; Acts 2:38; 3:19; 21:20, etc.). Far too much emphasis is placed on how sinful we are with little mention, much less Bible teaching on the overcoming grace of God given us through Christ to grant complete victory – IF we do things His way (Titus 2:11-12; Rom. 6:14; John 12:24-25; Lk. 9:23-24, etc.). The return of Christ is rarely if ever mentioned. What about the holiness of God and how He commanded “Be ye holy for I am holy”? (1 Peter 1:15-16) Nothing is taught about fearing God which we are commanded to do repeatedly in Scripture. Please share this to help others.
These wolves prey upon the weakened, docile, morally gutless who simply want to use God to coddle them in their sin. Yet, there are many among these deceived masses who would repent if they were directly confronted with their sin and the command to repent. These are things that will never happen in the theater houses they frequent to be entertained on Sunday mornings.
Feedback:
“It must be popular to repeat all those quotes from Osteen and his wife, Joyce Meyer, Paula White, etc. I also see quotes posted of Joseph Prince all day every day. I don’t see sound doctrine and the whole counsel of God’s Word. It’s like most don’t see that it’s the fear of God that is the beginning of wisdom and the word FEAR isn’t in their vocabulary but more positive thinking of what Jesus did but ignoring His clear message (commands) to pick up their cross and follow Him to the death of themselves. This is undoubtedly very hard. There are many struggles. The cost will be great but so is the power of resurrection in the end.” T.S.

Attend to My Words [podcast]

IF THE WORD isn’t flowing into you daily, you are falling away. Flood and fuel your heart and mind and body with the pure, the holy light of God’s Word daily and you will never famish! All darkness will be vanquished (Psalms 119:130). All who have been saved and yet aren’t in God’s Word and prayer daily – have rejected Christ, with no exception. Re-turn to the LORD prodigal. There’s no good outside of Christ the KING.
“The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.” Psalms 119:130
ALL who are not in God’s written Word daily are not hearing from God, do not have God’s wisdom and direction, and are walking in darkness – 100%.
The feeding of Christ’s flock would integrally involve exhorting them to diligently study and walk in God’s Word themselves, daily (John 21:15-17). Isn’t this exactly what the apostle Paul told Timothy to do? Yes. He told his understudy to “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)
One of the ways we know who the false ministers are, is that they want people dependent on THEM, not God. So, they don’t constantly exhort the people to get into God’s Word, the Holy Scriptures, for themselves. Run.
“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.” Joshua 1:8
“He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live. … My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. 21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. 22 For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. 23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. Proverbs 4:4, 20-23
“Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.” Jeremiah 15:16
“Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.” Job 23:12
“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.” Colossians 3:16
“Over the last 5-10 years I can see where He has done this for me already, but the problem is …. it’s not enough! I want even more! One hour of study and prayer in the morning is not enough!” Christine

Gathering Fruit for Christ’s Eternal Glory [podcast]

IF you are truly born again, God has called you personally to participate in, to obey His Great Commission command— NOT to salvage any country in this fleeting world.
It’s amazing how many people claiming to be saved spend more time, energy, and money trying to save America than they do building up the body of Christ and evangelizing the lost. Anyone claiming to be saved and yet is not participating in the Great Commission command of Christ, is out of the will of God. Repentance needed.
Save America or See Jesus Save Eternal Souls?
“America is under God’s judgment for sure. And recently there was a golden statue made of Trump. And Pastors are praying over it. A golden calf. Same thing happened in the book of Exodus and God slew 3,000 men. This angers Him greatly! There will be a severe price to pay for this adultery! America is definitely going down at the divine judgment of God.” Karen Cochran
Forget saving America. Win souls. Preach the original Gospel to see eternal souls saved unto the LORD. See Mark 16:15-20; Matthew 28:18-20.
A good thing to ask proud Americans who claim they are Christians:
1. “When’s the last time you led someone to Jesus?”
2. “How much time and how much energy do you spend trying in vain to “save America” or “Make America Great Again” compared to the time and energy you spend learning, studying, and meditating on God’s Word and doing it – as in the Great Commission?”
“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
Anyone claiming to be Christ’s and yet is not doing, is not obeying His Great Commission mandate, is not in the will of God.
Regrettably, America is going down in judgment.
No efforts can undo the present reality of those claiming to know Christ refusing to truly repent, nor the 60 million innocent babies America has murdered in cold blood and called it “choice.”
Honoring something God calls “an abomination” brings “the curse of the LORD” upon any nation to do such. See Leviticus 18:22 and Proverbs 3:33. Sodomy is sin!
“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
Doing the will of the Father is executing the Great Commission Jesus gave us!
2 BIBLICAL EVIDENCES PROVE THAT AMERICA IS OVER – if there is no repentance, change [podcast]
“Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work. 35 Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.
36 And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.
37 And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.
38 I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.” John 4:35-38
Jesus says act now! To put off His work is to put off Christ. Read that again!
“And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.” Luke 9:62
Many aren’t putting off their own sinful, lust-filled agenda in the world, right?
There is nothing new under the sun. See the book of Haggai.

Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee [podcast]

Here’s why Jesus came:
“And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.” John 17:3
There is nothing – NO-THING – more important in your life than your relationship with Christ.
Job 22
“Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee. 22 Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in thine heart. 23 If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles. 24 Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks. 25 Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defence, and thou shalt have plenty of silver. 26 For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face unto God. 27 Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he shall hear thee, and thou shalt pay thy vows. 28 Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways. 29 When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up; and he shall save the humble person. 30 He shall deliver the island of the innocent; and it is delivered by the pureness of thine hands.” Job 22:21-30
“lay up his words in thine heart” v22 – WITH the learning of each new verse of Holy Scripture, each new Bible truth, your knowledge and understanding of the LORD and His kingdom is expanded.
“Let thine heart retain my words.” Proverbs 4:4
“I have seen an end of all perfection: but thy commandment is exceeding broad. 97 MEM. O how love I thy law! it is my meditation all the day. 98 Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me. 99 I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation. 100 I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts.” Psalms 119:96-100
