A Pastors Fatal Mistake - Part II
He said unto him, I am a prophet also
as thou art; and an angel spake unto me by the word of the LORD,
saying, Bring him back with thee into thine
house, that he may eat bread and drink water.
But he lied unto him.
I Kings 13:18
Lies from the 'Old Prophets' these days in the KJB Pulpits in America!
A non-believer will see this sermon as being highly judgmental!
A Bible believer will want to know more, especially if you are
not aware of some of these lies in KJB pulpits.
A make-believer will be upset at this 'judgment, but you won't
quit, you will just find another church that makes you happy!
A lost person and a backslidden Christian and an imitation Christian
are thinking in the vanity of their mind...
thus they won't understand this sermon!
Is this a house cleaning sermon? or... are you REALLY a Book person!!
I don't play church, folks - the truth is the truth and the word is
the word - and I am to preach the word
II Timothy 4:2-5 READ IT!
I am not trying make anybody 'mad' - no striving, but there will be
preaching the word!
Do you want ME TO LIE so YOU can keep peace in YOUR family?
Dp you want a reason to go to another church? Go ahead,
don't wait for me to give you one - but before you leave, come to me -
face to face - and show me I am LYING - where I AM WRONG - be sure to bring
your Bible with you, ma-am (that is usually who it is who drags the man
and family away)!
Am I therefore become your
enemy, because I tell you the truth?
Galatians 4:16
The truth being THIS VERY KING JAMES 1611 BIBLE - THE WORD OF GOD!
And I will very gladly spend
and be spent for you;
though the more abundantly
I love you, the less I be loved.
II Corinthians 12:15
Will you believe that these are LIES from pastors who are looked
to like 'old prophets?'
...or maybe ...foolish and unlearned questions
avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes. II
Timothy 2:23
...or maybe this "your" pastor preaching to help you deal with not
giving heed to fables and endless genealogies,
which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith:
so do. I Timothy 1:4
From those who claim to be modern prophets..
Ellen White
Joseph Smith
Garner Ted Armstrong
Benny Hinn
Bill Bright
Tony Campolo
Kenneth Copeland
James Dobson
Bill Gothard
Kenneth Hagin
Sun Moon
Robert Schuler
Rick Warren
etc. etc. etc.
Doctrinal issues mis-taught in a school, institute,
etc. - WHEN COMPARED TO THE BOOK!!!
Ignoring the 'body of Christ'
Christ not going to Hell
no universal church - body of Christ
Baptism - it is a sin not to, it is
a sin to... etc.
Bible versions
evidence of the Holy Spirit - being
slain in the spirit - speaking in tongues
rightly dividing versus wrongly picking
and choosing
soul sleep
losing one's salvation
ALPHA, etc.
etc. etc. etc.
The late night entertainment of the TBN guys & gals!
The '3 angels' tv network - (7th day)
The King James guys who have been 'turned into Prophets'
by their followers!
Jude 16 - entertainment
- go and 'watch' or 'hear' - you are in church to GET PREACHED AT, right?
Allowing themselves to be followed, not just their
faith!
Pride, success, gain, you can prevent that by TAKING THEM TO THE BOOK!
The Greekers
flashing their scholarship and brains
with their lexicons! (come to SS to hear about this - either except it
or learn about it!)
the books that they have written and
writing a new bunch every day!
the 'inspired originals are the
word of God' bunch
Beating up the brethren - making them the enemy!
Strifers!
Goes against II
Thessalonians 3:14,15; II Timothy 2:23-26; I Corinthians 6:1-7
Lifting the local church and rulings "above the Book!"
baptism regulations, covenants, holiness
rules, final authority, pastoral authority, etc.
Preaching what man says (Psychology) instead
of what the Scriptures say, What Saith the Lord!
good words, fair speeches, vain words, great 'swelling'
words, enticing words of man's wisdom - vs foolishness of preaching!
Telling folks incorrectly where the Scriptures are
- (not)!
inspired 'originals' - scholarship studies
- in my heart - God just tells me - I feel... I think... I
'saw,' the gain proves it!
"Giving-in" instead of "preaching about" modern Christian's
luxuries and lifestyle of loving pleasures more than lovers of God!
A price will have to be paid for that kind of preaching
- does the preacher pay the price or does the family - or does the home!
CHOKE the Book, etc.!
Must we 'suffer' to be a Christian family?
YES! II Timothy 3:12
What DO we pray for concerning our homes? answer - I Timothy 2:2 - not those earthly possessions - our affection is to be on things above, not on things on this earth! Colossians 3:1-4
Yes, God gave us all things to enjoy, but he didn't necessarily give us ALL the things that we have!!! I Timothy 6:17
Polluting God's Praises!
I Samuel 16:14...
Going back to the 'early' church!
Acts 2, etc.
Alzheimer's return to our child hood - soon back to baby stage, if not
already there!
Putting people to be more important than God - the
Book!
I John 4:19 -
see what the new versions say - it proves this point exactly!
Telling personal stories of themselves and 'fake illustrations'
instead of Biblical stories and preaching the Book!
sign of old age!
takes the 'pressure' off in the sermon, if that
need be, anyway!
Building buildings instead of building the church 'body'
- according to Paul!
too much emphasis on the pillars instead of the
truth that the pillars are to hold up!
Not preaching the truth about child training!
Specific boy training vs girl training, etc.
Proverbs 22:6 Train
up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart
from it.
Trying to 'reach out to' teens instead of 'preaching
at' them!
Preach is to 'reach' with the word! Chances
are, your teens just need some hard preaching, not just yelling and reprimands
and insults, etc. Ephesians 6:4 And,
ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the
nurture and admonition of the Lord. See
Mark 2:2; Acts 8:4,25,35; 11:19; 13:5;
14:25; 15:35,36; 16:6; 17:13; Romans 10:8; II "Timothy 4:2; Titus 1:3;
Hebrews 4:2. Preach
means to reach each person with the word!
Ignoring Paul!
Robbing their folks of the second round of blessings!
I Thessalonians 4:1
Cutting the 'strings attached' and abusing Grace!
(grace is letting the other person do something or 'be' 'their' way - but
preaching still has its place!)
More concerned about keeping folks than preaching the
truth to them!
Balance it all - open the book FOR them and WITH
them. II Timothy 2:24-26
Or with fear and/or compassion!
The COMMON ground has to be that Book - acknowledge
the truth - II Timothy 2:24,26
Putting earthly happiness before heavenly joy!
happiness - is in doing God's
works for Him!!
joy - is being in God and fellowshipping with
Him!
"Letting" the Book slip away over the years
- forgetting the bloody sacrifice for it and because of it!
Acts 12:24
But the word of God grew and multiplied.
Acts 19:20 So
mightily grew the word of God and prevailed.
Acts 15:26
Men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
"Pushing" the Book away for the sake of growing in number!
Putting money over everything! Gain is godliness
to them!
Causes them to err from the faith! I
Timothy 6:10
Chokes the Book and actually kills the good fruit
while feeding the weeds! Luke 4:14
Follow fables and vain babblings - II
Timothy 4:3,4 & Timothy 2:16
