"Already Gone"
is Already Wrong"
|
There is a popular
'new' book out called "Already Gone" - it supposedly tells folks how to
stop their children and teens from leaving the church. Their alarming
statistics and numbers are worth noting, but it doesn't take much to look
around your church and find your kids are 'already gone.'
Their solutions, however, are tremendously
wrong as well as hugely hypocritical. In fact, according to the KJB,
the solutions in their book will actually make things worse than when the
parents first started to try to "fix" things.
This is just
an outline of the audio sermon - the audios have much more information
than these notes - I read quotes and their suggested solutions as well
as show what the KJB says about it all.
Conclusion: I do not
support this book at all! Both points the author makes are correct
as to why the kids are leaving, but their solutions / answers are horrendously
wrong - unscriptural - are to be considered false gospel and will only
help them usher in the antichrist!
Part I - A.M.
service audio sermon notes
Note: These are my observations and
preacings that are NOT in the "Already Gone" book.
Words from books about the Bible,
etc. are more important than the Bible today.
-
Folks are willing to listen to these
'authors' with their psychology of the old man instead of learning to live
the life of the new man.
-
As we near the tribulation, we see some
of the description of the tribulation as warnings today.
-
Enticing words of man's wisdom
-
I Corinthians
2:4
-
Colossians
2:4
-
Great swelling words of vanity
-
II Corinthians
12:20
-
Jude 16
-
Vain words
-
Good words and fair speeches deceive
the hearts of the simple
Authors enticing words of themselves
that folks blindly follow, etc.
-
I hope you listen closely to how important
these writers think they are!
-
I mean, these guys really think they
are something else - as Paul puts it,

Comments from the author on the author

-
Comments from the author on the author
of "Already Gone"
-
These authors today are reconstructionists
- they think they can still fix America before Christ returns.
-
These authors are spoken of in I
Timothy 6:3-5 - If any man teach
otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord
Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; He is
proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words,
whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, Perverse disputings
of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain
is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.
-
Here is what the
Risen Christ through Paul thinks of these writers today!
-
Galatians 2:6
- But of these who seemed to be somewhat,
(whatsoever they were, it maketh no matter to me: God accepteth no man's
person:) for they who seemed to be somewhat in conference added nothing
to me:
Do you need
to hear my background?
-
Am I worthy
to preach what I am preaching?
-
Am I worthy
to talk to you about music?
-
Am I worthy
to talk to you about parenting?
-
Is my opinion
and life experiences important enough to speak to you about your life?
-
NO - But I
will show you what the Rightly Divided King James Bible says about anything
and everything!
-
I have had
my eyes enlightened through my KJB - the Risen Saviour - through paul and
Holy Spirit!
-
And I am still
learning, too.
-
I claim no
enticing words of man's wisdom; I claim no good words and fair speeches;
I don't speak swelling words of vanity, etc.
Good comments
from the book:
-
Homeschool,
Public School and Private School students have the same statistics - so
much for that home benefit!
-
The 'Christian
war" today is a 'Christian culture' war; it is no longer 'Biblical revelation'
war!
-
Our kids were
'Taught but not Caught."
-
To a teen,
'facts' are relevant, not 'faith.'
-
Young people
today say, "Show me God!"
-
2/3 of the
kids who were Sunday School and church 'brought up' have left the "traditional
church!"
-
Listen to the
longer quotes as I read them in the sermon!
-
Don't get excited,
though. Their answers and solutions are horrible!
-
Do not waste
your time buying this book!
Ok, here are
his two conclusions as to why kids are leaving the churches today!
-
1) Adults
have not defended the Word of God
-
Yet, he uses NASB
and is NOT a KJB book. Duh!
-
He, as a Creationist,
uses a bible that takes Jesus Christ out of Creation!
-
Compare Ephesians
3:9 in a King James Bible with an NIV,
etc.
-
2) The parents
have not lived the word of God as they heard it preached and say they believed!
-
Right - And he
doesn't believe in rightly dividing and following Paul so he preaches that
the Great Commission and trying to live the life of the gospels is what
kids should see.
-
We know it is
folly!
SO
IS IT NO WONDER KIDS ARE WISING UP TO THE FOLLY OF MODERN CHRISTIANITY!
Can you
blame them?
Some of
them have more courage than their parents when it comes to leaving a church
that lies to the people!

The
entire King James Bible is written FOR us, but it is not all written TO
us!
We
learn from the "For" and we try to apply the 'TO!"
