“I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.” 3 John 4

This apostle whom Jesus loved, John, had “no greater joy” than to hear and know that those he led and discipled were learning and walking in divine truth! What do I rejoice at? What do you rejoice at?

All those who authentically know Jesus should rejoice at His truth making men free (Jn. 8:31-32).

One who doesn’t follow God’s Word simply does not follow Christ! (See Mark 8:34 and John 8:47) Jesus told His disciples to “Follow me.” (Matt. 4:19). He came and died and rose again that He alone might be LORD of all and that His followers would follow Him and not be misled by the many beguilers who insidiously work for His arch enemy (Rom. 14:9; Col. 1:15-17; 2:8-10, 18-19). He told us that the thief has come to steal, kill and destroy the relationship He created us for (Jn. 10:10). This enemy is formidable and has many agents of whom Christ said to “beware” and that they were “ravening (devouring) wolves…(disguised) in sheep’s clothing.” (Matt. 7:15)

Of the heavenly Father and the holy Scriptures, Christ stated “Thy word is truth.” (Jn. 17:17) The deceiver does not want others learning the Word/truth because if they did they (that leader) would no longer have control of that person through deception. That person who personally studies and knows God’s Word and walks in it will not be manipulated, deceived or led astray by one of the goats in the flock of the hordes of self-serving beguilers operating in the church world today.

“By the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.” Psalms 17:4

When individual believers personally learn God’s Word they become armed and dangerous to discern (Heb. 4:12). Their eyes are opened to the truth and false teachers then have no more dominion over them. In fact, such a deceiver is so deluded that he will oust the discerning disciple and vainly think he is doing God’s service for removing the very sheep of the LORD (Jn. 16:1-3).

The apostle Paul wanted the LORD’s people to learn and know God’s Word for themselves. He instructed younger Timothy to “Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” (2 Tim. 2:15)

Make no mistake: All those who are true to the LORD encourage and exhort others to get to know God for themselves by studying His precious Word. The one who wants you blinded is Satan and his “ministers” (2 Cor. 4:4; 11:13-15). Illumination comes through the Scriptures and shines light on the darkness of the enemy and evil men.

“Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” Psalms 119:105

Do you recall that Jesus told us that the evil one and his agents, who hold ministry positions in the modern church, can only mislead those blinded by lack of knowledge for which they will be destroyed if there is no repentance? (Hos. 4:6; Matt. 7:15-23; 22:29)

“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.” Hosea 4:6

“Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err (descend into error), not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.” Matthew 22:29

Make no mistake – Concerning the things of God; What one refuses to learn and therefore doesn’t know, will ultimately kill him.

“A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels.” Proverbs 1:5

“Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.” Proverbs 3:13

The Spiritually “Blind”

“Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.” Matthew 15:14 

The “ditch” of delusion and ultimately eternal damnation awaits all who allow their hearts to be blinded from the light of the love and truth of Jesus Christ who has come to “To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.” (Acts 26:18)

Blind leaders simply cannot mislead illuminated, discerning people. Deception can only be perpetrated upon those who do not know the truth themselves through deep personal study of God’s holy Word.

“The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment. The law (Word) of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.” Psalms 37:30-31

In this late hour we are seeing so many saints who love the LORD and honor His holy Word being asked to leave their local churches due to their refusal to just go along with the latest unbiblical entertainment paraded as a self-help program, false doctrine, or purpose-driven foolishness. He told us to rejoice when we are persecuted for His holy name and Gospel! (Matt. 5:11-13) It was the modern church of Christ’s day that persecuted and had the very Son of God killed. So, truth-seekers/truth keepers are in good company…YAY Jesus   \o/

Jesus told us to “Search the scriptures” because He wantedHis people to know Him and His will and have His illumination (Jn. 5:39).

“Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.” John 8:12

The LORD and Savior Jesus Christ was intent upon His followers hearing and obeying truth and being made free from sin and religious deception (Matt. 7:15-24; 10:17; 16:6, 11; Lk. 8:12-15; Jn. 8:31-32, 36).

What did Jesus, John, Peter and Paul have that so many in leadership today do not possess? First, they were completely abandoned to the Father and therefore to do His will alone. This canceled any and all self-agenda (Rom. 6:7; 2 Cor. 3:5; 4:5). Second, they each understood that the Word of God, magnified even above His holy name, was and is absolute final authority (Ps. 138:2; Jn. 10:35; 2 Tim. 3:15-17; 2 Pet. 1:12-21).

In contrast to Jesus and His holy apostles and prophets, the wolves of our era are cited in Isaiah this way:

“His watchmen (Israel’s leaders) are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber. 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. 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

It’s time to become completely discerning and unimpressed with the foolish and futile nature of sinful man’s education (seminary degrees, etc.). Jesus didn’t have a degree!

The one who studies to show himself approved unto God will be established in divine truth and no longer be moved about with every false doctrine nor tossed around by persuasive men who are using good words and fair speeches to mislead the people (Eph. 4:14; 2 Tim. 2:15; Rom. 16:17-18).

“That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ.” Ephesians 4:14-15

Beloved, remember that any leader who is not leading people to have a life in the Word for themselves is in the very least suspect as being a false prophet. That person is using his ministry position for his own selfish gain, otherwise he would be leading people to drink from the Fountain of living water for themselves.

“Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men.” 1 Corinthians 7:23

So many “community” and other seeker-friendly styled local churches today litter the landscape and are not Holy Spirit led or Bible rich (Col. 3:16) but rather driven by a purpose that is not of divine origin. Those who love God and His Word will not be silent and will be a holy and anointed nuisance to these self-serving CEO’s who possess the purposeof growing their little local church business and not advancing the kingdom of God the way the Word instructs and reveals.

“Beware!” (Col. 2:8)

“Rejoice!” (Ps. 119:162; Matt. 5:11-12; Lk. 21:28)

The kingdom of God is all about the King Himself!

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

  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

  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

Swept Away in the “Strong Delusion” [podcast]


Recorded at a fellowship in Houston, Texas

God Himself personally sends a “strong delusion” to all who do not love His truth so that they WILL believe lies. He greases their pole to hell. That’s how personally He takes it when people call Him a liar by not believing His Word.

“Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10 and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 that they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12

“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

Notice “of God” and “NOT of God”

“He that is OF GOD heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are NOT OF GOD.” John 8:47
