The Attack Of The Enemy On Churches
by Sandy Simpson This DVD is a message based on this article. So much heresy is entering the churches these days. As you would suspect, sometimes it is due to a pastor attending a conference or reading a book and becoming diapraxed with unbiblical ideas. He then starts to weave those ideas into his messages and begins to invite speakers to the church who expound on those ideas. Then when confronted by someone in the church who has reservations about the new stuff being taught, they are told to not talk about it and just go along with the program. If that person does not they are ostracized, slander behind their back, and often told to leave (which is what they should do in any case). But my observation is that it is not only the pastor who causes unbiblical changes to influence a church. Often the pastor is blissfully unaware of influences coming into his church. They often come in through (1) the worship team (2) women's groups (3) bookstore (4) children's programs (5) interdenominational prayer efforts and (6) relief and mission organizations. If unchecked this type of infiltration is much more subtle and can become deeply rooted.

Featured Discernment Ministry Berean Beacon is primarily an evangelistic ministry promoting the Gospel of Jesus Christ wherever possible. The ministry places particular emphasis on the evangelization and conversion of Catholics. The other main thrust of the ministry is to inform evangelical Christians about Catholicism through speaking engagements, distribution of literature, tapes, CDs, and DVDs. We trust in the Lord by faith, and we look to Him to supply our needs for the ministry through our faithful supporters. Each donation is gratefully appreciated. For seven years, as an outreach of the Beacon, Richard Bennett had regularly trained and led a Friday evening door-to-door evangelism outreach ministry. Rather than inviting people to church, the outreach ministry single-mindedly concentrated on presenting the Gospel to the people where they lived. The Gospel teams were composed of both Spanish and English speaking men. The men, who went out in teams of two, found that among the people whom they met there was much interest in the Bible and in the Gospel. Richard is currently involved in ministry work in Central Washington State.

by Warren B. Smith, 7/22/15 In Jesus Calling, "Jesus" promotes the experience of his presence above God's Word. Psalm 138:2 tells us: "I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name." Because God has magnified His Word above His name, this lets us know we will never experience His presence in any way that is not totally consistent with the truth of His Word. Thus, we can know that any presence that comes calling and claims the name of "Jesus" as its own but does not line up in every way with God's Word is not the presence of God. God will never put His name or experiencing His presence above His Word.Click here to read this article!

The New Age Then and Now - Acts 19 (Audio) |
by Chris Lawson, 7/23/15
?We live in a world that is hostile to the biblical Jesus Christ of Nazareth. So too, many of us have experienced growing hostility from non-Christians and from apostate Christian churches that have become theologically offensive to Jesus Christ. This audio message considers various topics in the Christian missions life, cross-cultural work, spiritual warfare, and the biblical injunction to confront teachings that are hostile to biblical revelation. Topics mentioned: - Boldly reasoning, speaking and persuading individuals to repent of sin and believe in the biblical Gospel, instead of ecumenical Interfaith "dialogue." - The danger of Occult healing arts, lying signs and wonders, and demonic manifestation and possession states that deceptively mislead people under the guise of being "gifts of the Holy Spirit." - The problem of New Age and ecumenical Christian churches engaging in dialogue and alleged "Gay Christian" workshops. Teachings and people mentioned: New Thought Metaphysics (Warren Felt Evans, Phineas Quimby), Christianized Metaphysics for Evangelical Ecumenism (Norman Vincent Peale, Robert Schuller), Mormonism (Brigham Young, Joseph Smith), Evolutionism, Hinduism, Yogi's, Theosophy and Occultism (Helena P. Blavatsky, Annie Besant), Mind Science Cults (Christian Science - May Baker Eddy), Guru's (The Beatles and the Hare Krishna cult), Modern Occultism (George Gurdjeiff), Theosophical Society (Helena P. Blavatsky, Annie Besant, Nicholas Roerich), Spiritism, Spiritualism and Christian Spiritualism (Moses Hull), Rudolph Steiner (Anthroposophy and the Anthroposophical Society), Rosicrucian Movement (Max Heindel and the Order of the Rose Cross), Unity School of Christianity (Charles and Myrtle Fillmore), Church Universal and Triumphant (Elizabeth Claire Prophet), Science of Mind and Religious Science (Ernest Holmes), Religious Science (Terry Cole Whitaker), The Sleeping Prophet (Edgar Cayce), George Baker (aka "Father Divine"), Scientology (L. Ron Hubbard), Erhard Seminars Training (Werner Hans Erhard), Foundation of Human Understanding (Roy Masters), The Silva Method (Jose Silva), The Aquarian Conspiracy (Marilyn Ferguson), The Master Plan (Alice Bailey), Unitarianism (Richard Buckminster "Bucky" Fuller), Templeton Prize (John Marks Templeton, Bill Bright and Charles Colson), Word of Faith Movement (Prosperity Gospel - Kenneth Hagin, Kenneth Copeland, Benny Hinn, Marilyn Hickey, Oral Roberts), and more.

Making God's People Trust in a Lie... |
by Pastor Bill Randles, 7/24/15
It is happening all over again. In the church, as in the last days of Judah, immediately preceding the devastation of the Babylonian captivity and the destruction of the temple, Christians are being inoculated to conviction and preparedness by the soothing Words of false prophets like Hananiah.

at Understand The Times, 7/25/15
In addition to (or perhaps because of) his new The Rob Bell Show on Oprah Winfrey's OWN channel, Rob Bell has been busy with his ZIMZUM of Love book promotions and now his new The Liturgists program, a podcast he has quietly launched with a dozen or so other theological partners who "do not actively promote our names and personal images" for ego reasons. What do The Liturgists talk about when they talk about God the Father? Well actually, they talk about God the Mother. That's not a typo.
