Dining with the Devil

This age of apostasy that we are live in finds the devil setting up a trap for the Body of Christ, and my fear is that we are falling headlong into that trap. The scheme of the enemy is actually quite simple but very dangerous to the Christian. Simply, it is to divide the Church into twp parts. One will adhere to the sound biblical doctrine of the Bible, the other will follow hard after the "new age" teachings of a man centered gospel. In this man-centered Church Movement Satan is dividing and conquering. On one side we have the small remnant of believers who preach and practice the truth of God's word, while on the other hand we find those who preach the seeker sensitive half truths, and with a grin from ear to ear they tell you of God's plan for you if you will just sow a seed. And in this midst of this, you will hear of how God needs to be relevant to you and your situation! This worldly self help filth is being perpetrated upon the church today by many of our "premiere" preachers like Joel Osteen, Kenneth Hagin, Benny Hinn, Rick Warren, and more! It has become nothing more than a backward view of God's word! It has been said before, that the man who dines with the Devil should have a very long fork, and if things do not change in the Church today, we better start passing out some looong forks at the front doors!

The Bible clearly tells us that in the last days there would come a great deception. That even the "very elect" would be deceived if possible. And today, we are seeing this very scripture coming to pass. We are watching as the enemy slips into the front row of our churches and the wheels of his agenda are beginning to spin. We are seeing several key points being accepted now that were once thought to be blasphemous.

  1. The acceptance of other religions and false gods as valid allies
  2. The preaching of a self centered gospel where "man' becomes the centerpiece
  3. The works based theology that places the responsibility of our blessing and righteousness in our own hands
  4. The acceptance of the gay agenda, and several other world views

These are just a few of the unbelievable points being pushed upon the Body of Christ even at this moment, and tragically we are accepting them as truth! And because of this, we are quickly becoming the "model" for the END TIME APOSTATE CHURCH. We are in great danger today church, we are swiftly becoming a religious organization with no true convictions or standards! I know that God does not give us the Spirit of Fear, but I do believe we need a baptism in the Holy Fear of God once again. It is time that we wake up, stir ourselves, sound the alarm, and put on the whole armour of God. It is time, that we stand up, speak loud, and proclaim the truths of the gospel!
