Landmark Book On This
Subject! IDOLATRY IN THEIR HEARTS Does having eternity in
your heart mean that you know God and are His child? Could Gentile
cultures understand the Gospel from the stars? Did God create man's
cultures? Has God always been in the process of redeeming cultures
from the time of Babel by placing in them a true revelation of
Himself? Is there the worship of YHWH in all cultures and religions through the names of "supreme beings"? Have all cultures always had a way to make things right between them and
God? These questions and many more are answered in this book that
addresses the teachings of the World Christian Gathering on Indigenous
People and Emerging Church movements. Go here for ordering details!

This blog, hosted by Ingrid Schlueter, is dedicated to hard truth. Truth can be hard at times, and
it isn't always pretty. There has been an absence of plain speech among
Christians for a long time. Anyone who dares obey Scripture's
injunction to test the spirits, to analyze the latest trends in light of
the Bible's teaching, is accused of being harsh, unloving and
judgmental. By nature, much of the content here is negative. I am
presenting a Slice of Laodicea, not a Slice of Paradise. However, in
addition to the news stories that demonstrate the sad state of American
evangelicalism, I have numerous categories for purposes of edification
and encouragement.
Jesus Christ is worthy of all of our praise, all of our
loyalty and all of our service. King Jesus has been removed from His
rightful place in the evangelical church, and man has taken the throne.
The appalling results are all around us. When Christ's church stops
being the pillar and support of the truth, it can only add to the
cultural squalor. That, sadly, is exactly what has happened.

DITC e-Newsletter Volume 28, Issue 7

Dear All,
So much heresy and those who teach it circulating within the churches today! I am always encouraged to see Christian leaders call it what it is when they see it. There is no way for a heretic to see his error without being confronted by his public heretical teachings specifically. We do a great disservice to the body of Christ and even to the false teachers when we choose to let false teachings continue. It is the height of love to tell the truth. That is what the Gospel is about and what speaking the truth in love is all about. To keep silent is not love but cowardice. Eph. 4:12-15 to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fulness of Christ. Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of men in their deceitful scheming. Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into him who is the Head, that is, Christ. Lu 9:26 If anyone is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.

Emerging
or
Submerging? | by Brian Brodersen, Calvary Chapel Magazine, Issue
44, Summer 2010
Finally a good response from a Calvary Chapel pastor to the influx
of Emergent teachings into Calvary Chapels. The only statement I
disagree with in this article is that Brodersen says: "I believe time
will
tell that this new movement will turn out to be nothing more than a
passing
fancy of a few disenchanted men." We know from long experience that
heresy begets heresy and does not really ever go away till Christ comes
back which is why we must reject it. However this article does call EC
teachings what they are ... heresy. Thanks for this article Brian.

Global
War
on Christian Values
| by Berit Kjos, March 13, 2010
The new millennium has brought some ominous changes. Last month
alone unleashed a flood of anti-Christian plots around the world. All
were
designed to suppress God's unchanging truth -- an intolerable obstacle
to global solidarity. Even "friendly" regimes have joined this war on
faith.

Two
Kingdoms
| by Pastor Anton Bosch, 5/25/10
Many Christians have been deceived into believing that they can
somehow "convert" the kingdoms of this world to become the Kingdom of
God.
In the process they have put their energy and hopes into bringing about
the Kingdom of God by working towards getting more influence with
government
in order to transform government. Some even believe that Jesus will
return
once we have transformed the world and created the millennial Kingdom.
This presupposes that the Kingdom of God is a better version of or
improved
earthly kingdom. But what does the Bible have to say about this?

The Gospel of the Kingdom
| by Pastor Anton Bosch, 2/9/08 As a sequel to the previous post by Pastor Anton Bosch on "Two Kingdoms," readers are reminded of a past post that was published on February 9, 2008 titled "The Gospel of the Kingdom." The "Two Kingdoms" each have their own gospel message. One is true and biblical. One is a false gospel. One seeks to change men internally via repentance upon hearing the Gospel of Salvation, the message of the Cross, regeneration and the indwelling Holy Spirit. The other seeks to change men externally via institutional changes, moral codes, economic structures, mysticism, etc. These two gospels do not mix, even though the men who promote the false gospel often fool people by giving lip service to the true Gospel.
