(C. Peter Wagner, "Your Church Can Grow - Seven Vital Signs Of A Healthy Church", 1976, pg. 137. - emphasis in original)
Way back in 1976 C. Peter Wagner had already expressed a foundation of sand upon which his entire "apostolic" kingdom is built. To back up his notions, he and his friends such as John Wimber, Paul Cain and many others began to get the cart before the horse. They tried to create revival where there was none with unbiblical and even heretical ideas. They imported occult ideas from false religions into the churches, such as "slain in the spirit" and called the results "revival". The means they used were the counterfeit revivals of the Word Of Faith Movement, the Vineyard movement, the Toronto "Blessing", the Brownsville "Outpouring" and on down the line to latest Todd Bentley "Lakeland Revival". The proof that the means have all been unjustifiable is in the unjustifiable ends. Lakeland has now come to an apparent abrupt end due to false healing and dead raising claims, many false teachings, a false "transferable" anointing, and sexual misconduct. You can read about these things in our Todd Bentley section. Yet the leadership of the New Apostolic Reformation has not even been slowed by yet another bad end brought about by the self-destruction of the means. In the latest ElijahList the false prophets are prophesying even greater revivals to come.

Addendum to “A Whole Lot Of Wishful Thinking These Days”
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
There is a new phenomenon especially among some island churches where handkerchiefs are being handed around a congregation claiming that they have an anointing that can cause people to be healed and other miraculous things happen to them. The problem with this idea is especially evident in two things: (1) that this can and is being considered by many to be Christian magic and (2) that it is being taught as being something that should be a normal part of the Christian experience. It is taught that if you have faith you will believe in touching the handkerchief that you will be healed, freed from demons, or get a special anointing. But faith is not proven by signs and wonders.

Three Fallacies Of Third Wave Spiritual Warfare Teachings
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
When so-called Christians employ Biblical pagan methods to rid themselves of demons, they end up giving the enemy an opportunity to deceive them and a foothold in their lives. When Israel disobeyed the Lord's command to come down to Jerusalem and worship Him in the temple under the Law, and instead chose to set up altars in the high places, the result was that they ended up worshiping demons. They thought they were worshiping God, but ended up worshiping Baal and Ashtoreth. You cannot live a life glorifying to the Lord unless you obey Him.

The Duties of Christian Leadership
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
Christians, and especially Christian leadership, are called to be salt and light in a dark world.
Matt. 5:13-16 "You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men. "You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.
When the Lord tells us to be salt and light, He
states both the positive and the negative. That is the
way with all Scripture. We can’t just take the
positive and be done with the subject. We have to
consider all the ramifications of being salt and
light. Salt is used to season food and make it taste
good. It was and still is used as a
preservative. In the same way Christians are to be
salt in the world. Without the witness of Christ,
without standing for the truth, life is ultimately tasteless
and rotten. Anyone here who was a sinner for any
length of time without the Savior knows what I am talking
about. But the flip side is that salt can lose its
saltiness. Christians can lose their saltiness by
diluting the Gospel message to the point where it is
useless. Let me give you an example of a washed out
Gospel often preached in churches today.

The New Powerless Gospel
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
TI have been challenged lately to think again about what the Gospel message is all about. This has come as a result of hearing what I considerto be, at the very least, "gospel lite" and at the most no gospel at all being presented by a number of neo-evangelicals, Third Wavers and outrightheretics. The interesting thing is that many seem to be preaching the same message. What is most intriguing is that false teachers like Benny Hinn, ecumenicals, and even some preachers I would considerto be orthodox in their theology are preaching a "gospel" that is very similar.The question is: Is this new gospel message really the Gospel at all?

Leviathan
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
This creature that existed, and may yet exist, is used as a description of the might and power of the enemy.
Isaiah 27:1 In that day the LORD will punish Leviathan the fleeing serpent, With His fierce and great and mighty sword, Even Leviathan the twisted serpent; And He will kill the dragon who lives in the sea. (NASB)
Speaking of the “day of the Lord”, when the Lord comes back again to rule and judge the earth, Isaiah says that the Lord will punish Leviathan the dragon. Satan is likened to leviathan, a serpent, and he is said to live in the sea.
Revelation 13:1 And the dragon stood on the sand of the seashore. Then I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads, and on his horns were ten diadems, and on his heads were blasphemous names. (NASB)
Again the dragon comes out of the sea, which is symbolic of the nations of the world, but perhaps is also tied to a literal meaning. He has multiple heads which are symbolic of the heads of the nations of the end times, but he is also said to have multiple heads before the symbolism of the nations of the revived Babylon come into being, as recorded in Ps. 74:14 and Job.

Many Christians today (having allowed themselves to be diapraxed by false teachers on TV, in books, in seminars and on tape) have begun to accept a mixture of Pre Mil and Post Mil doctrines. Many claim they still hold to a Pre Trib Rapture (or another Pre Mil scenario) and at the same time would claim that Christians are in a great end times revival, that "Transformation" is taking place all over the world, and that our mandate is to retake dominion over the whole world including its businesses, social agendas and political arenas (a Post Mil scenario). But what many "Christians" today do not realize is: the mixture they have accepted is oxymoronic.

Why False Teachers Have So Many Followers
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
The reason why false teachers, who deny one or more of the core doctrines of the Faith, gain so many followers is that they are saying what the world wants to hear. They organize their churches so that they cater to unbelievers, and once non Christians come in they are fed a diet devoid of the essential nutrition of the Gospel and sound doctrine. False teachers conduct surveys to see what non-believers are looking for in a "church" and then provide those things. False teachers claim they are bringing people into the Kingdom when in fact they are bringing them out of the world and back into the world, the only difference now being that they are spending their money in support of some apostate leader and/or group.

The NAR proponents claim to be foundational Apostles to the modern church. This claim is exactly what Paul warned the Church about regarding false apostles. The term "false apostles" is used only once in the Bible in 2 Cor. 11:13. False apostles are identified as those who claim they are equal with the the foundational Apostles. The NAR proponents go even further! They claim to be GREATER than the original Apostles.

Jude 1:1-2 Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ
and a brother of James, To those who have been called, who
are loved by God the Father and kept by Jesus Christ: Mercy,
peace and love be yours in abundance. Jude was the brother
of Jesus Christ. But it is significant that he calls himself
the brother of James. Jude wants everyone to know that,
though he is a half-brother of Jesus Christ through his
mother Mary, he considers himself to be a servant of Jesus.
I’m sure there were those who tried to idolize him for being
the brother of Jesus Christ. If he had the character of some
of the current large crop of false teachers, he would have
written “Jude, the brother of Jesus Christ.” I’m sure if
some of these modern heretics could trace their roots back
to Christ, they would use that information to get support
for themselves and power over people. But Jude does just the
opposite. He calls himself the servant of Jesus Christ. He
is addressing this letter to those who have been called, and
who are loved by God the Father and kept by Jesus Christ. So
he is addressing this letter to Christians. God has called
every true believer.

A Word of Encouragement from Paul
Run the Race, Win the Prize
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
But our citizenship is in heaven. And we
eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus
Christ, who, by the power that enables him to bring
everything under his control, will transform our lowly
bodies so that they will be like his glorious
body. Jesus Christ is coming again. We are
citizens of heaven, not this earth, and Jesus will come
to take us to our homeland. So true believers
eagerly await His coming, unlike those who oppose the
cross of Christ who think they must take dominion over
the earth or laugh at the idea of the Rapture.
There are many of them today. We know that when
Jesus comes, by His power, He will bring everything
under His control. We are not called to do that as
the Church. Jesus will do that when He comes, and
when He comes we will be changed and receive our
everlasting bodies that will never wear out.
1 Cor. 15:51-57 Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will
not all sleep, but we will all be changed in a flash, in
the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the
trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised
imperishable, and we will be changed. For the perishable
must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal
with immortality. When the perishable has been clothed
with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality,
then the saying that is written will come true: "Death
has been swallowed up in victory." "Where, O death, is
your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?" The sting
of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But
thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our
Lord Jesus Christ.

vs. Interactive-style Christianity
This DVD is a message based on this article.
Today, in a majority of churches, we see the result of the seeker-friendly,"purpose-driven", church growth, Third Wave, New Apostolic Reformation methods and teachings and their product I am calling"Entertainment-style Christianity" (ESC). But ESC churches are not only missing out on the cutting edge of true Christianity, but areheading down the road to apostasy.
True biblical Christianity is "interactive". Those in ESC are taughtto be spectators at mega-church entertainment events. They are not taught the Bible but rather to be enamored with the oratoricalskills of the preacher, and to not dare question anything that is shoved down the throats of the "laity" by the ruling "anointed"elite. They are treated to a circus atmosphere including wild CCM music with people flailing around and acting like they are on drugs, topreachers who tell endless stories about themselves and joke about everything while actually making profundity mundane, to hula dancing,to banners and marching in the church and around it, to the blowing of shofars, to slain in the spirit and wild manifestations. Theirsears are tickled by guest speakers who make up sermons out of their own imaginations instead of the written Word. They are entertainedwith gold dust, gold fillings, "angel" feathers, "angel" footprints, drunk in the spirit antics, and during these displays they can go outand get a latte and a snack at the church snack bar. They come into these mega churches and leave without being personally challengedother than with tired worldly psychology, and without anyone being able to find out what they are doing in their private lives. A smallpercentage attend "cell groups" where they are diapraxed into consensus instead of challenged to be Bereans and think and act forthemselves. They live like the world during the week, then come to church where the world is not only welcomed but accommodated.

Saturate 2020 adherants are those who are drunk and think they can save the planet
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
Commentators seem to think that this section of Habakkuk was addressing the Ceasars and their drunken desire for power. Seems these two things often go together.
Those who love drunk in the spirit are no exception. They are trying to get others to share in their debauchery and the false hope of an end-times worldwide revival, currently through the Saturate 2020 events. Though these were two of the heretical distinctives of the New Order of the Latter Rain, these ideas are nothing new. The righteous continue to live by faith, while the proud boast in their drunken state.

This DVD is a message based on this article.
Saturate 2020 is another in a long line of Latter Rain revivals which do not meet the criteria of a Biblical revival at all (Acts 3:19). The Toronto “Blessing” and Brownsville “Revival” both came into towns all over the world with the promise that people were getting saved and nothing weird was going on at their meetings. This was always a lie as the true Gospel was not preached but instead people were invited forward to have hands laid on them in order to transfer an impartation. Meanwhile false doctrines were laid down in order to get people involved in churches like Bethel Church in Redding, CA. We are warned in Scripture about this.Galatians 2:4 But it was because of the false brethren secretly brought in, who had sneaked in to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, in order to bring us into bondage.
2 Peter 2:1 But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will also be false teachers among you, who will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing swift destruction upon themselves.
The fact that some formerly Biblical churches have joined this circus is a testament to their lack of teaching discernment. Some of these denominations were warned repeatedly about the Latter Rain, Word of Faith and the New Apostolic Reformation yet they apparently wanted to remain “willfully ignorant”. The people advertised as being involved with this latest “revival” are almost all associated with Bethel in some way and promoters of what they teach. This is not a true Biblical revival but rather a revival of the occult and New Age among Christians. This meeting is actually hurting the cause of Christ and will not have any real beneficial effect on the culture of California, which has turned decidedly evil for decades. These Dominionists
will not be saving the planet, but are rather setting people up for the coming antichrist. Nor will they rid the world of coronavirus, but rather likely add to it.

Should Biblical Churches Be Christocentric?
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
Should biblical Christian churches be Christ-centered (Christocentric)? Should the doctrines of the Father (Patriology) and the Holy Spirit (Pnematology) also be equally emphasized? Can a church be Patriocentric or Pnemacentric and be biblical?
The answer to these questions are quite simple from a biblical perspective. There have been charges leveled at some movements such as the Pietist Movement in Germany and other movements that they place too much emphasis on Christ to the exclusion of the Father and the Holy Spirit. This may be true to a certain degree. The doctrines of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit must be taught with equal emphasis so that Christians will know what they believe.
But should a
church be Patriocentric or Pnemacentric? No. For
instance, there are far too many churches today, having been
influenced by hyper-Pentecostalism and the Latter Rain, that
are Pnemacentric. They spend most of their time focusing
on the Holy Spirit to the exclusion of preaching the Gospel
while, in fact, they don't even have a biblical doctrine of
the Holy Spirit. I believe that because classic
Evangelicals, to a certain degree, dropped the ball in
defining the Person and role of the Holy Spirit it gave an
opening to Third Wavers to step in with their erroneous ideas
of Pnematology.

Is a Warning to the TRUE Church Today
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
Much has been made of this passage, using it to point out what is happening today in the apostate churches around the world. It is true that they believe they are rich in spiritual things when they are very poor. It can be applied in one sense to the Word of Faith movement. It is true that the "River" movement of Latter Rain teachings do think they are hot when actually they are cold.
But this letter to the end times church of Laodicea is actually talking to biblical Christians who are born again. The apostate movements of the Latter Rain, Third Wave, Toronto "Blessing", Vineyard, Brownsville "Outpouring", Word of Faith, New Apostolic Reformation, World Gathering on Indigenous People, Manifest Sons of God, Seeker Friendly, Church Growth, Emerging Church and many others have already had their lampstands removed (Rev. 2:5) because of their apostasy and have already been spit out of the Lord's mouth (Rev. 3:16). We can know this because of what the Bible says about those who teach false doctrines (1 Tim. 6:3-5, 2 Tim. 4:3) and make false prophecies (1 John 4:1). These false churches, false movements and false brethren (Gal. 2:4) are already under the judgment of the warnings of the seven letters, as all but two of the original first century churches are today (only the two who Jesus did not warn still survive today). Therefore the letters to the churches apply to those churches who have not had their lampstands removed and been spit out of the mouth of God because of heresy and false prophesy. So the warning to the true biblical churches today remains. Why is this warning significant to us?
It is significant
because, by in large, it is the
true Church today that has allowed the movements mentioned
above to infiltrate and take over the agenda for what is
called "Christianity" today.

Jesus Cares for You
This DVD is a message based o
n this article.
Read Passage: John 6:1-15
The story of the feeding of the 5000 is found in all the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke & John. When something is repeated in the Bible it means that it is important and is something we must try to understand. There is often a deeper meaning in sentences or stories that are repeated.
In this same story
repeated in Mark 6:34 it says:
"When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion
on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So
he began teaching them many things."
One of the main things that Jesus is... is compassionate. He
cares for His people. He was compassionate then and He is
still compassionate today. Jesus came and saw the needs of
the people. So He did two things. He met their physical need
of hunger for bread, and He also met their spiritual hunger
for the bread of life. As Jesus told us in John ... He is
the bread of life. The Bible, the Word of God, being the
word of the Father and the Son, is also the bread of
life. Jesus is the living example of the Word as it
also says in John "The Word was made flesh and lived among
us".

HUMOR: Time for a rewrite of the old hymns. In this day and age of Third Wave revival movements and Word-Faith dominion, the old hymns just aren't cutting it anymore. Not only are they old fashioned musically, but the lyrics are, for the most part, particularly depressing. They talk of sin, death, repentance, the cross, the blood of Jesus and a whole host of other disgusting subjects. There are also too many lyrics in them, frankly, which takes away from the "worship" atmosphere. Repetitiveness is what we need, not dead doctrinal concepts. The old hymns are just too biblical. Give us a beat to move our feet, not concepts to move our hearts and minds!
Here is a list of some hymns that could be "upgraded" to meet the criteria of the Third Wave, Word-Faith, Latter Rain, Manifest Sons Of God, New Apostolic Reformation. This list is by no means complete. If you don't recognize the hymns mentioned perhaps it would be worth your time to go back and read them, then compare what they say to the new doctrines.

"Silence the noise of your songs"
by Sandy Simpson, 5/26/19
Amos 5:21-27 “I hate, I reject your festivals, nor do I delight in your solemn assemblies. “Even though you offer up to Me burnt offerings and your grain offerings, I will not accept them; and I will not even look at the peace offerings of your fatlings. “Take away from Me the noise of your songs; I will not even listen to the sound of your harps. “But let justice roll down like waters and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream. Did you present Me with sacrifices and grain offerings in the wilderness for forty years, O house of Israel? You also carried along Sikkuth your king and Kiyyun, your images, the star of your gods which you made for yourselves. Therefore, I will make you go into exile beyond Damascus,” says the Lord, whose name is the God of hosts. When I first reread this passage in Amos, a few things struck me. First of all the Lord is bringing judgment on Israel for carrying on religious ceremony without true dedication to the Lord. They sing songs and present their offerings while harboring idols. I was reminded of how the Lord must view the heretical apostate mega church celebrations of today. There is a lot of pomp and circumstance, yet little or no obedience to the Word of God. The Lord does not look favorably upon worship of that type, no matter the hype, no matter the noise, no matter the show. He actually “hates” it.

How To Find A Good Church
by Sandy Simpson, 2003
Here’s how to find a good church. What you need to find is a church that not only has orthodox doctrinal statements but teaches, both explicitly and implicitly, in line with the core doctrines of the Faith. These are Bible-believing Christ-centered churches that are balanced in their theology. Be sure to test all churches before you become involved. It is acceptable to get involved with a house church or Bible study as long as there is someone who has the gift of teaching there to lead the study of God’s Word.
Hebrews 10:25 not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near.
The Christian life is not one to be lived alone. Trust me; I have sympathy for those who have been spiritually injured by false churches, false prophets, false teachers and false apostles. It is often a long road back from the diaprax of heresy. But to undo the brainwashing you will need help, especially from those who are already ahead of you on your journey back. The first century church was known for the following:
Acts 2:42 They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.
This is a good gauge to tell if you are involved in an effective assembly of believers, no matter how small. Remember that the first century churches were in homes. In my experience smaller churches are much better at doing the above and more. Avoid mega churches.

This book was written by my mother and is about my family's experience as missionaries in Micronesia. Juanita went to be with the Lord in August of 2018. This book has been a blessing to many people around the world and I want to share it with you. - Sandy Simpson
This is the story of a young woman who goes to the ends of the Earth with her pastor husband and two small children. While describing the hardships of living in a remote village on a remote Pacific Island in the 60's, it also gives us a vision of the joy the family experienced as well. The heart of the book is the story of how the author survives the death of her husband and goes on to serve God and the Micronesian people in her own right.This book reveals a woman of great faith and courage. In addition, the book is well written and a pleasure to read.Having met the author, I will add that there are thousands of people throughout Micronesia who love her and who have benefited by her faithfulness and commitment over the years.

Maturity Training
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
Heb. 5:14 But solid food is for the MATURE, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.
At the core of maturity in Christ is the issue
of training to be able to distinguish between good and
evil, right and wrong. But in today’s churches this
issue has not only been downplayed, but actually swept
aside.
I run a website and get hundreds of emails
every week. Since the website deals with apologetics
against false teachers and false prophets, about half
the email I receive is blasting me for even bringing up
the issue. These emails are from “Christians” who claim
I am not “anointed”, don’t understand the work of the
Holy Spirit, etc. I am forced to remind them of Hebrews
5 and Ephesians 4 and the biblical definition of
maturity in Christ. Maturity is not defined as following
dynamic speakers, running after people who claim the
ability to perform signs and wonders, those with wealth,
charismatic teachers with large numbers of followers,
those with name recognition, and prophets who make wild
prophecies. It is defined simply as training ourselves
to know the difference between good and evil.
Where do Christians get solid food? From voices in their heads, intuition, imaginations, flights of fancy, signs, wonders? No. Solid food is consumed by feeding on the meat of the written Word of God.

The Use of Invective
in Apologetics
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
This article is about the use of invective while attempting to do apologetics or teaching discernment. Invective is defined as a noun: insulting, abusive, or highly critical language ie. "he let out a stream of invective". I admit to using invective at times in the past. My goal is to stop that practice and focus on the facts, not attack an individual’s ability to comprehend.
In the case of Christians, the first thing to consider when doing apologetics is our mandate to reconcile people to Christ, no matter who they are.
2 Cor. 5:18-21 Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation, namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation. Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making an appeal through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

Real Revival
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
Acts 3:19 Therefore repent and return, so that your sins may be wiped away, in order that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord;
There has been so much hype of "revival" in our modern day that it is easy to forget the true biblical criteria and definition of revival. Revival cannot be brought about by signs and wonders or "laying" on of hands to transfer apostolic or prophetic "anointings". In fact there is no such thing in the Bible.The Biblical criterion for revival has, as a precondition, repentance. The word "refreshing" is also defined as "revive".

I received a letter from Peter Popoff.

Occult Practices in the Churches
How the occult has been fully integrated into many Christian lives and fellowships
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
The Bible is quite clear about occult practices.Neither Israel nor the Church is to have anything to do with the way the world tries to gain secret knowledge.The Gnostics were and are known for promoting new revelation that is either loosely tied to Scripture taken out ofcontext or not at all.The Israelites seeking information from the dead or in omens were judged harshly by the Lord who had warned them numerous times to stay away from that stuff.

New Important Book!
Dominionism!
How Unbiblical Action Can Change The Churches
by Dr. Orrel Steinkamp & Sandy Simpson
Preface
By Sandy Simpson
The title and cover art of this work are a play off of the book by C. Peter Wagner entitled “"Dominion! How Kingdom Action Can Change The World". In contrast to this specious claim we have titled this book “Dominionism! How Unbiblical Action Can Change The Churches". We think that is far more in keeping with what we will present in this series of articles and essays on the subject of Kingdom Now/Dominionism.
Indeed, many churches have already been changed by accepting the false teachings that constitute Dominionism. This started decades ago under Reformed Reconstrucionism and Latter Rain theology, but even before that in the Roman Catholic Church (RCC). The attempt of Constantine to protect Christians from being persecuted, since he claimed he had become one of them, turned out to begin a journey in syncretism and Dominion. It wasn’t long before corrupt church officials began to try to seize power all over Europe and beyond as the “Holy Roman Empire". The Reformation itself was a reaction to the lengths to which the RCC had gone to take control over the Scriptures, the nations, the kingdoms, and the people for financial gain. They sold indulgences, promising those who came up with enough money a much shorter time in Purgatory. Those same ploys are being used today on what has been loosely called “Christian television" by the sale of trinkets and promises of healing, financial gain and even salvation.
These ideas all coalesce in Dominionism. If it were true that the Church needs to take over the planet, then we would be seeing the unstoppable plans of God’s physical Kingdom unfolding. But we do not. All we see are failed prophecies, empty edicts and declarations coming from false apostles and false prophets. They love to fool Christians with talk of the “kingdom" when it is clear they are talking about a different “kingdom"; a Kingdom Now not a Kingdom come. Jesus taught us to pray: “Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven". The implication is that we are to be about building His spiritual Kingdom while praying for and expecting His physical Kingdom to come. The only way we can do that is to continue in the Great Commission till He comes, not attempt to rule where God has not given the Church the authority to rule. Jesus will do that when He returns. If we go off on the tangent the Dominionists want us to go, we will not only miss out on the blessings of His Kingdom to come, but may well be deserving of judgment.

Seeds, Soil & Fruit
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
Bad seeds from a bad tree yield bad fruit.
Matt. 13:38-39 The field is the world,
and the good seed stands for the sons of the kingdom. The
weeds are the sons of the evil one, and the enemy who sows
them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age,
and the harvesters are angels.
Matthew 7:17 Likewise every good tree
bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.
Original sin is the bad seed in everyone. We all start with a bad seed.
Jer. 17:9 The heart is deceitful
above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand
it?
Rom. 3:23 for all have sinned
and fall short of the glory of God,
Rom. 5:12 Therefore, just as sin
entered the world through one man, and death through sin,
and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned
We need to have the bad seed destroyed and replaced with good seed.
Gal. 5:24 Those who belong to Christ
Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its
passions and desires.
Rom. 6:6 For we know that our old
self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might
be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves
to sin
1 Pet. 1:23 For you have been born
again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable,
through the living and enduring word of God.
The good seed is the Word, the Gospel.
Luke 8:11 "This is the meaning of the
parable: The seed is the word of God.
1 John 3:9 No one who is born of God
will continue to sin, because God's seed remains in him;
he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God.
Bad seeds are from the enemy and are full of false doctrine and a false gospel.
Matt. 13:38-39 The field is the world, and the good seed stands for the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one, and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels.

Will the Real Blasphemers Please Stand Up?
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
This subject is one so serious that I do it with great fear and trepidation. Nonetheless, because I get so many e-mails accusing me and other Bereans of blasphemy, among other serious charges, I felt it was necessary to clear up some issues on this topic. Because of my stand for the truth of God's Word juxtaposed against all the false teaching that is going on today, I think it is important to do a quick study on what blasphemy is actually all about from a biblical standpoint. There are many references to blasphemy in the Bible and from them we can find out how and why that term was used.
You will see that the word "blasphemy" in the Scriptures is the very definition of what the false teachers and false prophets are doing today!

"Glitter Christians"
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
Glitter Christians.
This is a name I came up with for people attending and teaching at Oral Roberts University in the 70s. Even back then I had come to realize that their way of representing Christianity was not in line with the Scriptures. At that time I didn’t know that Oral Roberts was carrying on the Word of Faith traditions of New Thought practitioners such as Kenneth Hagin, Kenneth Copeland, Essex Kenyan, Norman Vincent Peale, Robert Schuler, and many other false teachers of the time. Though I didn’t know anything about Word of Faith or New Thought then I knew that the way they were representing Christianity was just not right somehow. Their desire to portray Christians as rich, beautiful, healthy, perfect, and virtually sinless (holiness) went directly against the example of Jesus, the Apostles and the early church.

Bradford Pear Christianity
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
I was driving along and noticing that spring has sprung here in North Carolina. One of the first trees to bloom is the Bradford Pear. I began to notice how that tree has proliferated almost everywhere and then my wife looked up the information on this tree on the web. As she began to read the facts about this tree and its proliferation I began to see an allegorical parallel to what is going on in much of Christendom. But before I get into what the Bradford Pear can show us about the churches, I need to present the facts about the tree.

The Lord's Prayer, Our Prayer

Matt. 6:9-13 This, then, is how you should pray: "Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one."
This model prayer that Jesus taught the disciples to pray contains many important precepts. It should probably be called "The Disciple's Prayer". It starts with a very important concept in the first verse.

The future of apologetics and discernment ministries
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
I admit that I am very skeptical about the future of discernment and apologetics ministries. I don't see the next generation coming up to replace those who have stood for the truth for so long. Fortunately many apologists have gone to be with the Lord but who will replace them? I don't see replacements coming up who will take the place of those who have been fighting the fight the years. I run a web site where I collect articles and materials from all over the world and present them in a sort of Reader's Digest format so that people can come to one place to get the latest information on heresies in the churches as well as research past ones. What I've seen in the last couple of years is that the production of regular materials is declining to the point where it's becoming difficult to find one article for my site to post every day. Of course I write my own articles but don't have enough time to write an article on a daily basis. I am very concerned because of the tsunami of false ideas from the enemy in the churches. At the same time, unfortunately, I see a lot of younger people who don't even recognize anymore that something is wrong.

Church History & The Core Doctrines
by Sandy Simpson
This 4-DVD set is a combination of a condensed study on Church History and the Discernment Toolkit series which deals with the core doctrines of the Church and how to use them to discern error. The Church History DVD takes a different approach to Church History in that it does not celebrate the Catholic Church but rather exposes it as false Christianity. It covers World religions, false Christianity and finally a study of the true remnant Church through history following the story of the many martyrs who stood up for true Biblical faith.

The "Weight of Glory"
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
2 Corinthians 4:17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; (KJV)
This is both an incredible source of hope for Christians who are downtrodden, and a source of escalating heresy in many churches.It is critical that we understand what Paul was talking about when he wrote the phrase “weight of glory".Jacob Prasch has repeated this phrase in his teachings over the years … “A text, out of context, in isolation from co-text is always a pre-text."A huge problem today is that individuals and movements tend to yank verses out of their context and build a cult of heresy around them.This is called eisegesis or plugging your own ideas into the Scriptures instead of exegesis, gaining understanding and interpretation of the Bible by studying it in context and in the scope of the whole written Word.

Did God Put "Eternity In Their Hearts"
or "The World In Their Hearts"?
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
In the introduction to Mike Oppenheimer's and my book "Idolatry In Thier Hearts" I exposed the fact that Don Richardson pulled the phrase "Eternity In Thier Hearts" to use as his book title from it's context in Ecc. 3:11. He did this to support his thesis, which actually contradicts the second part of that verse, where it states that man cannot fathom what God has done. Richardson, rather, sets forth what has become the foundation for the false teachings of the WCGIP, YWAM, a number of Bible translation societies and the Emerging Church ... the propostion that men from Gentile cultures have always been seeking God and that Gentile cultures were already worshipping the true God before missionaries came with the Gospel.
But as I further investigated this verse I found that Richardson even ignored the true meaning of the FIRST half of the verse in favor of a few translations that use the phrase "eternity in their hearts".

Christians who “turn away�?
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
Jeremiah 3:10-11 And yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah hath not turned unto me with her whole heart, but feignedly, saith the LORD. And the LORD said unto me, “The backsliding Israel hath justified herself more than treacherous Judah." (KJV) Israel had turned away from the Lord and had gone after the gods of Canaan, namely Baal and Asherah. Because Israel had prostituted herself with false gods in worshipping the polytheistic gods that started at Babel, God had declared He was divorcing Israel and would send them into exile until they again returned to the true God. But Judah prided itself in doing what God had commended as they had Jerusalem and the Temple. They disdained Israel for setting up altars to Baal and Asherah poles on high hills. Yet God was not fooled by Judah’s pretence. In the KJV it says they were not worshipping God with their whole heart but “feignedly".

Prophets for profit
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
2 Cor. 2:17 Unlike so many, we do not peddle the word of God for profit. On the contrary, in Christ we speak before God with sincerity, as those sent from God.
There are many false teachers on TV these days who peddle the word of God for profit. They make promises of healing that do not come true by claiming if they are given a financial gift the person will receive healing and riches. When what they promised does not happen the person is blamed that they did not have enough faith. This often destroys the faith of people who fall into the traps of these snake oil salesmen. I have no problem with people charging for their materials if they cost to be produced, even though it is hoped that when a person cannot afford to pay for books and DVDs they will receive them free of charge. But the charges levied on people for conferences and speaking engagements is often excessive. A minister of God can ask for support and deserves it if they are being diligent in their study and proclamation of the Word. But experiences and feelings often come with a price today and that is not right.

"Mistake" or "Sin"?
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
Today we often hear the word "mistake" coming from pulpits, and especially in defense of false teaching and false prophesy. "Cut him some slack! He just made some mistakes". "We all make mistakes, so don't judge lest you be judged." We even hear the word "mistakes" being substituted for the word "sin" in many presentations of what I have termed "Gospel Lite" today. So is it proper to substitute the word "mistake" for the word "sin"? We'll look at the problem of one word "mistakenly" being used for the other.

HUMOR: Time for a rewrite of the old hymns. In this day and age of Third Wave revival movements and Word-Faith dominion, the old hymns just aren't cutting it anymore. Not only are they old fashioned musically, but the lyrics are, for the most part, particularly depressing. They talk of sin, death, repentance, the cross, the blood of Jesus and a whole host of other disgusting subjects. There are also too many lyrics in them, frankly, which takes away from the "worship" atmosphere. Repetitiveness is what we need, not dead doctrinal concepts. The old hymns are just too biblical. Give us a beat to move our feet, not concepts to move our hearts and minds!
Here is a list of some hymns that could be "upgraded" to meet the criteria of the Third Wave, Word-Faith, Latter Rain, Manifest Sons Of God, New Apostolic Reformation. This list is by no means complete. If you don't recognize the hymns mentioned perhaps it would be worth your time to go back and read them, then compare what they say to the new doctrines.

"Silence the noise of your songs"
by Sandy Simpson, 5/26/19
Amos 5:21-27 “I hate, I reject your festivals, nor do I delight in your solemn assemblies. “Even though you offer up to Me burnt offerings and your grain offerings, I will not accept them; and I will not even look at the peace offerings of your fatlings. “Take away from Me the noise of your songs; I will not even listen to the sound of your harps. “But let justice roll down like waters and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream. Did you present Me with sacrifices and grain offerings in the wilderness for forty years, O house of Israel? You also carried along Sikkuth your king and Kiyyun, your images, the star of your gods which you made for yourselves. Therefore, I will make you go into exile beyond Damascus,” says the Lord, whose name is the God of hosts. When I first reread this passage in Amos, a few things struck me. First of all the Lord is bringing judgment on Israel for carrying on religious ceremony without true dedication to the Lord. They sing songs and present their offerings while harboring idols. I was reminded of how the Lord must view the heretical apostate mega church celebrations of today. There is a lot of pomp and circumstance, yet little or no obedience to the Word of God. The Lord does not look favorably upon worship of that type, no matter the hype, no matter the noise, no matter the show. He actually “hates” it.

How To Find A Good Church
by Sandy Simpson, 2003
Here’s how to find a good church. What you need to find is a church that not only has orthodox doctrinal statements but teaches, both explicitly and implicitly, in line with the core doctrines of the Faith. These are Bible-believing Christ-centered churches that are balanced in their theology. Be sure to test all churches before you become involved. It is acceptable to get involved with a house church or Bible study as long as there is someone who has the gift of teaching there to lead the study of God’s Word.
Hebrews 10:25 not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near.
The Christian life is not one to be lived alone. Trust me; I have sympathy for those who have been spiritually injured by false churches, false prophets, false teachers and false apostles. It is often a long road back from the diaprax of heresy. But to undo the brainwashing you will need help, especially from those who are already ahead of you on your journey back. The first century church was known for the following:
Acts 2:42 They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.
This is a good gauge to tell if you are involved in an effective assembly of believers, no matter how small. Remember that the first century churches were in homes. In my experience smaller churches are much better at doing the above and more. Avoid mega churches.

This book was written by my mother and is about my family's experience as missionaries in Micronesia. Juanita went to be with the Lord in August of 2018. This book has been a blessing to many people around the world and I want to share it with you. - Sandy Simpson
This is the story of a young woman who goes to the ends of the Earth with her pastor husband and two small children. While describing the hardships of living in a remote village on a remote Pacific Island in the 60's, it also gives us a vision of the joy the family experienced as well. The heart of the book is the story of how the author survives the death of her husband and goes on to serve God and the Micronesian people in her own right.This book reveals a woman of great faith and courage. In addition, the book is well written and a pleasure to read.Having met the author, I will add that there are thousands of people throughout Micronesia who love her and who have benefited by her faithfulness and commitment over the years.

Maturity Training
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
Heb. 5:14 But solid food is for the MATURE, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.
At the core of maturity in Christ is the issue
of training to be able to distinguish between good and
evil, right and wrong. But in today’s churches this
issue has not only been downplayed, but actually swept
aside.
I run a website and get hundreds of emails
every week. Since the website deals with apologetics
against false teachers and false prophets, about half
the email I receive is blasting me for even bringing up
the issue. These emails are from “Christians” who claim
I am not “anointed”, don’t understand the work of the
Holy Spirit, etc. I am forced to remind them of Hebrews
5 and Ephesians 4 and the biblical definition of
maturity in Christ. Maturity is not defined as following
dynamic speakers, running after people who claim the
ability to perform signs and wonders, those with wealth,
charismatic teachers with large numbers of followers,
those with name recognition, and prophets who make wild

The Use of Invective
in Apologetics
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
This article is about the use of invective while attempting to do apologetics or teaching discernment. Invective is defined as a noun: insulting, abusive, or highly critical language ie. "he let out a stream of invective". I admit to using invective at times in the past. My goal is to stop that practice and focus on the facts, not attack an individual’s ability to comprehend.
In the case of Christians, the first thing to consider when doing apologetics is our mandate to reconcile people to Christ, no matter who they are.
2 Cor. 5:18-21 Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation, namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation. Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making an appeal through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

Ten Questions
For those who Claim the "Supreme Beings" of the Nations are the True God

Christian Gathering of Indigenous People (WCGIP) adherents
such as Don Richardson, Daniel Kikawa,
Richard Twiss
(deceased), Terry LeBlanc, Danny Lehman, Aloha KeAkua,
YWAM as well as many in the Emergent Church (EC) ... the
questions arise from their claim that the "supreme beings"
of the nations are all the True God, YHWH, the God of
Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. You can read more on this

Real Revival
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
Acts 3:19 Therefore repent and return, so that your sins may be wiped away, in order that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord;
There has been so much hype of "revival" in our modern day that it is easy to forget the true biblical criteria and definition of revival. Revival cannot be brought about by signs and wonders or "laying" on of hands to transfer apostolic or prophetic "anointings". In fact there is no such thing in the Bible.The Biblical criterion for revival has, as a precondition, repentance. The word "refreshing" is also defined as "revive".

Back to his old tricks!

I received a letter from Peter Popoff. This infamous televangelist, in the past, was found to be guilty of wearing an earpiece so that his accomplices in his sound booth could feed him personal information on people in his audience while he was claiming to get personal messages directly from God. This letter proves that, not only is he back as a regular on TV, he is also back to his old tricks.

Occult Practices in the Churches
How the occult has been fully integrated into many Christian lives and fellowships
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
The Bible is quite clear about occult practices.Neither Israel nor the Church is to have anything to do with the way the world tries to gain secret knowledge.The Gnostics were and are known for promoting new revelation that is either loosely tied to Scripture taken out ofcontext or not at all.The Israelites seeking information from the dead or in omens were judged harshly by the Lord who had warned them numerous times to stay away from that stuff.
List of Practices Detestable To God

to you, “Consult the mediums and the spiritists who whisper and

New Important Book!
Dominionism!
How Unbiblical Action Can Change The Churches
by Dr. Orrel Steinkamp & Sandy Simpson
Preface
By Sandy Simpson
The title and cover art of this work are a play off of the book by C. Peter Wagner entitled “"Dominion! How Kingdom Action Can Change The World". In contrast to this specious claim we have titled this book “Dominionism! How Unbiblical Action Can Change The Churches". We think that is far more in keeping with what we will present in this series of articles and essays on the subject of Kingdom Now/Dominionism.
Indeed, many churches have already been changed by accepting the false teachings that constitute Dominionism. This started decades ago under Reformed Reconstrucionism and Latter Rain theology, but even before that in the Roman Catholic Church (RCC). The attempt of Constantine to protect Christians from being persecuted, since he claimed he had become one of them, turned out to begin a journey in syncretism and Dominion. It wasn’t long before corrupt church officials began to try to seize power all over Europe and beyond as the “Holy Roman Empire". The Reformation itself was a reaction to the lengths to which the RCC had gone to take control over the Scriptures, the nations, the kingdoms, and the people for financial gain. They sold indulgences, promising those who came up with enough money a much shorter time in Purgatory. Those same ploys are being used today on what has been loosely called “Christian television" by the sale of trinkets and promises of healing, financial gain and even salvation.
These ideas all coalesce in Dominionism. If it were true that the Church needs to take over the planet, then we would be seeing the unstoppable plans of God’s physical Kingdom unfolding. But we do not. All we see are failed prophecies, empty edicts and declarations coming from false apostles and false prophets. They love to fool Christians with talk of the “kingdom" when it is clear they are talking about a different “kingdom"; a Kingdom Now not a Kingdom come. Jesus taught us to pray: “Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven". The implication is that we are to be about building His spiritual Kingdom while praying for and expecting His physical Kingdom to come. The only way we can do that is to continue in the Great Commission till He comes, not attempt to rule where God has not given the Church the authority to rule. Jesus will do that when He returns. If we go off on the tangent the Dominionists want us to go, we will not only miss out on the blessings of His Kingdom to come, but may well be deserving of judgment.

Seeds, Soil & Fruit
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
Bad seeds from a bad tree yield bad fruit.
Matt. 13:38-39 The field is the world,
and the good seed stands for the sons of the kingdom. The
weeds are the sons of the evil one, and the enemy who sows
them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age,
and the harvesters are angels.
Matthew 7:17 Likewise every good tree
bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.
Original sin is the bad seed in everyone. We all start with a bad seed.
Jer. 17:9 The heart is deceitful
above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand
it?
Rom. 3:23 for all have sinned
and fall short of the glory of God,
Rom. 5:12 Therefore, just as sin
entered the world through one man, and death through sin,
and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned
We need to have the bad seed destroyed and replaced with good seed.
Gal. 5:24 Those who belong to Christ
Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its
passions and desires.
Rom. 6:6 For we know that our old
self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might
be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves
to sin
1 Pet. 1:23 For you have been born
again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable,
through the living and enduring word of God.
The good seed is the Word, the Gospel.
Luke 8:11 "This is the meaning of the
parable: The seed is the word of God.
1 John 3:9 No one who is born of God
will continue to sin, because God's seed remains in him;
he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God.
Bad seeds are from the enemy and are full of false doctrine and a false gospel.
Matt. 13:38-39 The field is the world, and the good seed stands for the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one, and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels.

Will the Real Blasphemers Please Stand Up?
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
This subject is one so serious that I do it with great fear and trepidation. Nonetheless, because I get so many e-mails accusing me and other Bereans of blasphemy, among other serious charges, I felt it was necessary to clear up some issues on this topic. Because of my stand for the truth of God's Word juxtaposed against all the false teaching that is going on today, I think it is important to do a quick study on what blasphemy is actually all about from a biblical standpoint. There are many references to blasphemy in the Bible and from them we can find out how and why that term was used.
You will see that the word "blasphemy" in the Scriptures is the very definition of what the false teachers and false prophets are doing today!

"Glitter Christians"
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
Glitter Christians.
This is a name I came up with for people attending and teaching at Oral Roberts University in the 70s. Even back then I had come to realize that their way of representing Christianity was not in line with the Scriptures. At that time I didn’t know that Oral Roberts was carrying on the Word of Faith traditions of New Thought practitioners such as Kenneth Hagin, Kenneth Copeland, Essex Kenyan, Norman Vincent Peale, Robert Schuler, and many other false teachers of the time. Though I didn’t know anything about Word of Faith or New Thought then I knew that the way they were representing Christianity was just not right somehow. Their desire to portray Christians as rich, beautiful, healthy, perfect, and virtually sinless (holiness) went directly against the example of Jesus, the Apostles and the early church.

Bradford Pear Christianity
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
I was driving along and noticing that spring has sprung here in North Carolina. One of the first trees to bloom is the Bradford Pear. I began to notice how that tree has proliferated almost everywhere and then my wife looked up the information on this tree on the web. As she began to read the facts about this tree and its proliferation I began to see an allegorical parallel to what is going on in much of Christendom. But before I get into what the Bradford Pear can show us about the churches, I need to present the facts about the tree.

The Lord's Prayer, Our Prayer

Matt. 6:9-13 This, then, is how you should pray: "Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one."
This model prayer that Jesus taught the disciples to pray contains many important precepts. It should probably be called "The Disciple's Prayer". It starts with a very important concept in the first verse.

The future of apologetics and discernment ministries
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
I admit that I am very skeptical about the future of discernment and apologetics ministries. I don't see the next generation coming up to replace those who have stood for the truth for so long. Fortunately many apologists have gone to be with the Lord but who will replace them? I don't see replacements coming up who will take the place of those who have been fighting the fight the years. I run a web site where I collect articles and materials from all over the world and present them in a sort of Reader's Digest format so that people can come to one place to get the latest information on heresies in the churches as well as research past ones. What I've seen in the last couple of years is that the production of regular materials is declining to the point where it's becoming difficult to find one article for my site to post every day. Of course I write my own articles but don't have enough time to write an article on a daily basis. I am very concerned because of the tsunami of false ideas from the enemy in the churches. At the same time, unfortunately, I see a lot of younger people who don't even recognize anymore that something is wrong.

Church History & The Core Doctrines
by Sandy Simpson
This 4-DVD set is a combination of a condensed study on Church History and the Discernment Toolkit series which deals with the core doctrines of the Church and how to use them to discern error. The Church History DVD takes a different approach to Church History in that it does not celebrate the Catholic Church but rather exposes it as false Christianity. It covers World religions, false Christianity and finally a study of the true remnant Church through history following the story of the many martyrs who stood up for true Biblical faith.

The "Weight of Glory"
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
2 Corinthians 4:17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; (KJV)
This is both an incredible source of hope for Christians who are downtrodden, and a source of escalating heresy in many churches.It is critical that we understand what Paul was talking about when he wrote the phrase “weight of glory".Jacob Prasch has repeated this phrase in his teachings over the years … “A text, out of context, in isolation from co-text is always a pre-text."A huge problem today is that individuals and movements tend to yank verses out of their context and build a cult of heresy around them.This is called eisegesis or plugging your own ideas into the Scriptures instead of exegesis, gaining understanding and interpretation of the Bible by studying it in context and in the scope of the whole written Word.

Did God Put "Eternity In Their Hearts"
or "The World In Their Hearts"?
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
In the introduction to Mike Oppenheimer's and my book "Idolatry In Thier Hearts" I exposed the fact that Don Richardson pulled the phrase "Eternity In Thier Hearts" to use as his book title from it's context in Ecc. 3:11. He did this to support his thesis, which actually contradicts the second part of that verse, where it states that man cannot fathom what God has done. Richardson, rather, sets forth what has become the foundation for the false teachings of the WCGIP, YWAM, a number of Bible translation societies and the Emerging Church ... the propostion that men from Gentile cultures have always been seeking God and that Gentile cultures were already worshipping the true God before missionaries came with the Gospel.
But as I further investigated this verse I found that Richardson even ignored the true meaning of the FIRST half of the verse in favor of a few translations that use the phrase "eternity in their hearts".

Christians who “turn away�?
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
Jeremiah 3:10-11 And yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah hath not turned unto me with her whole heart, but feignedly, saith the LORD. And the LORD said unto me, “The backsliding Israel hath justified herself more than treacherous Judah." (KJV) Israel had turned away from the Lord and had gone after the gods of Canaan, namely Baal and Asherah. Because Israel had prostituted herself with false gods in worshipping the polytheistic gods that started at Babel, God had declared He was divorcing Israel and would send them into exile until they again returned to the true God. But Judah prided itself in doing what God had commended as they had Jerusalem and the Temple. They disdained Israel for setting up altars to Baal and Asherah poles on high hills. Yet God was not fooled by Judah’s pretence. In the KJV it says they were not worshipping God with their whole heart but “feignedly".

Prophets for profit
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
2 Cor. 2:17 Unlike so many, we do not peddle the word of God for profit. On the contrary, in Christ we speak before God with sincerity, as those sent from God.
There are many false teachers on TV these days who peddle the word of God for profit. They make promises of healing that do not come true by claiming if they are given a financial gift the person will receive healing and riches. When what they promised does not happen the person is blamed that they did not have enough faith. This often destroys the faith of people who fall into the traps of these snake oil salesmen. I have no problem with people charging for their materials if they cost to be produced, even though it is hoped that when a person cannot afford to pay for books and DVDs they will receive them free of charge. But the charges levied on people for conferences and speaking engagements is often excessive. A minister of God can ask for support and deserves it if they are being diligent in their study and proclamation of the Word. But experiences and feelings often come with a price today and that is not right.

"Mistake" or "Sin"?
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
Today we often hear the word "mistake" coming from pulpits, and especially in defense of false teaching and false prophesy. "Cut him some slack! He just made some mistakes". "We all make mistakes, so don't judge lest you be judged." We even hear the word "mistakes" being substituted for the word "sin" in many presentations of what I have termed "Gospel Lite" today. So is it proper to substitute the word "mistake" for the word "sin"? We'll look at the problem of one word "mistakenly" being used for the other.

HUMOR: Time for a rewrite of the old hymns. In this day and age of Third Wave revival movements and Word-Faith dominion, the old hymns just aren't cutting it anymore. Not only are they old fashioned musically, but the lyrics are, for the most part, particularly depressing. They talk of sin, death, repentance, the cross, the blood of Jesus and a whole host of other disgusting subjects. There are also too many lyrics in them, frankly, which takes away from the "worship" atmosphere. Repetitiveness is what we need, not dead doctrinal concepts. The old hymns are just too biblical. Give us a beat to move our feet, not concepts to move our hearts and minds!
Here is a list of some hymns that could be "upgraded" to meet the criteria of the Third Wave, Word-Faith, Latter Rain, Manifest Sons Of God, New Apostolic Reformation. This list is by no means complete. If you don't recognize the hymns mentioned perhaps it would be worth your time to go back and read them, then compare what they say to the new doctrines.

"Silence the noise of your songs"
by Sandy Simpson, 5/26/19
Amos 5:21-27 “I hate, I reject your festivals, nor do I delight in your solemn assemblies. “Even though you offer up to Me burnt offerings and your grain offerings, I will not accept them; and I will not even look at the peace offerings of your fatlings. “Take away from Me the noise of your songs; I will not even listen to the sound of your harps. “But let justice roll down like waters and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream. Did you present Me with sacrifices and grain offerings in the wilderness for forty years, O house of Israel? You also carried along Sikkuth your king and Kiyyun, your images, the star of your gods which you made for yourselves. Therefore, I will make you go into exile beyond Damascus,” says the Lord, whose name is the God of hosts. When I first reread this passage in Amos, a few things struck me. First of all the Lord is bringing judgment on Israel for carrying on religious ceremony without true dedication to the Lord. They sing songs and present their offerings while harboring idols. I was reminded of how the Lord must view the heretical apostate mega church celebrations of today. There is a lot of pomp and circumstance, yet little or no obedience to the Word of God. The Lord does not look favorably upon worship of that type, no matter the hype, no matter the noise, no matter the show. He actually “hates” it.

How To Find A Good Church
by Sandy Simpson, 2003
Here’s how to find a good church. What you need to find is a church that not only has orthodox doctrinal statements but teaches, both explicitly and implicitly, in line with the core doctrines of the Faith. These are Bible-believing Christ-centered churches that are balanced in their theology. Be sure to test all churches before you become involved. It is acceptable to get involved with a house church or Bible study as long as there is someone who has the gift of teaching there to lead the study of God’s Word.
Hebrews 10:25 not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near.
The Christian life is not one to be lived alone. Trust me; I have sympathy for those who have been spiritually injured by false churches, false prophets, false teachers and false apostles. It is often a long road back from the diaprax of heresy. But to undo the brainwashing you will need help, especially from those who are already ahead of you on your journey back. The first century church was known for the following:
Acts 2:42 They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.
This is a good gauge to tell if you are involved in an effective assembly of believers, no matter how small. Remember that the first century churches were in homes. In my experience smaller churches are much better at doing the above and more. Avoid mega churches.

This book was written by my mother and is about my family's experience as missionaries in Micronesia. Juanita went to be with the Lord in August of 2018. This book has been a blessing to many people around the world and I want to share it with you. - Sandy Simpson
This is the story of a young woman who goes to the ends of the Earth with her pastor husband and two small children. While describing the hardships of living in a remote village on a remote Pacific Island in the 60's, it also gives us a vision of the joy the family experienced as well. The heart of the book is the story of how the author survives the death of her husband and goes on to serve God and the Micronesian people in her own right.This book reveals a woman of great faith and courage. In addition, the book is well written and a pleasure to read.Having met the author, I will add that there are thousands of people throughout Micronesia who love her and who have benefited by her faithfulness and commitment over the years.

Maturity Training
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
Heb. 5:14 But solid food is for the MATURE, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.
At the core of maturity in Christ is the issue
of training to be able to distinguish between good and
evil, right and wrong. But in today’s churches this
issue has not only been downplayed, but actually swept
aside.
I run a website and get hundreds of emails
every week. Since the website deals with apologetics
against false teachers and false prophets, about half
the email I receive is blasting me for even bringing up
the issue. These emails are from “Christians” who claim
I am not “anointed”, don’t understand the work of the
Holy Spirit, etc. I am forced to remind them of Hebrews
5 and Ephesians 4 and the biblical definition of
maturity in Christ. Maturity is not defined as following
dynamic speakers, running after people who claim the
ability to perform signs and wonders, those with wealth,
charismatic teachers with large numbers of followers,
those with name recognition, and prophets who make wild
prophecies. It is defined simply as training ourselves
to know the difference between good and evil.
Where do Christians get solid food? From voices in their heads, intuition, imaginations, flights of fancy, signs, wonders? No. Solid food is consumed by feeding on the meat of the written Word of God.

The Use of Invective
in Apologetics
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
This article is about the use of invective while attempting to do apologetics or teaching discernment. Invective is defined as a noun: insulting, abusive, or highly critical language ie. "he let out a stream of invective". I admit to using invective at times in the past. My goal is to stop that practice and focus on the facts, not attack an individual’s ability to comprehend.
In the case of Christians, the first thing to consider when doing apologetics is our mandate to reconcile people to Christ, no matter who they are.
2 Cor. 5:18-21 Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation, namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation. Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making an appeal through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

Christian Gathering of Indigenous People (WCGIP) adherents
such as Don Richardson, Daniel Kikawa,
Richard Twiss
(deceased), Terry LeBlanc, Danny Lehman, Aloha KeAkua,
YWAM as well as many in the Emergent Church (EC) ... the
questions arise from their claim that the "supreme beings"
of the nations are all the True God, YHWH, the God of
Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. You can read more on this
subject in our book "Idolatry In Their Hearts"

Real Revival
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
Acts 3:19 Therefore repent and return, so that your sins may be wiped away, in order that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord;
There has been so much hype of "revival" in our modern day that it is easy to forget the true biblical criteria and definition of revival. Revival cannot be brought about by signs and wonders or "laying" on of hands to transfer apostolic or prophetic "anointings". In fact there is no such thing in the Bible.The Biblical criterion for revival has, as a precondition, repentance. The word "refreshing" is also defined as "revive".

Peter Popoff
Back to his old tricks!
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
I received a letter from Peter Popoff. This infamous televangelist, in the past, was found to be guilty of wearing an earpiece so that his accomplices in his sound booth could feed him personal information on people in his audience while he was claiming to get personal messages directly from God. This letter proves that, not only is he back as a regular on TV, he is also back to his old tricks.

Occult Practices in the Churches
How the occult has been fully integrated into many Christian lives and fellowships
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
The Bible is quite clear about occult practices.Neither Israel nor the Church is to have anything to do with the way the world tries to gain secret knowledge.The Gnostics were and are known for promoting new revelation that is either loosely tied to Scripture taken out ofcontext or not at all.The Israelites seeking information from the dead or in omens were judged harshly by the Lord who had warned them numerous times to stay away from that stuff.
List of Practices Detestable To God
Isaiah 8:19 When they say
to you, “Consult the mediums and the spiritists who whisper and
mutter," should not a peopleconsult their God?Should they consult the dead on behalf of the
living?

New Important Book!
Dominionism!
How Unbiblical Action Can Change The Churches
by Dr. Orrel Steinkamp & Sandy Simpson
Preface
By Sandy Simpson
The title and cover art of this work are a play off of the book by C. Peter Wagner entitled “"Dominion! How Kingdom Action Can Change The World". In contrast to this specious claim we have titled this book “Dominionism! How Unbiblical Action Can Change The Churches". We think that is far more in keeping with what we will present in this series of articles and essays on the subject of Kingdom Now/Dominionism.
Indeed, many churches have already been changed by accepting the false teachings that constitute Dominionism. This started decades ago under Reformed Reconstrucionism and Latter Rain theology, but even before that in the Roman Catholic Church (RCC). The attempt of Constantine to protect Christians from being persecuted, since he claimed he had become one of them, turned out to begin a journey in syncretism and Dominion. It wasn’t long before corrupt church officials began to try to seize power all over Europe and beyond as the “Holy Roman Empire". The Reformation itself was a reaction to the lengths to which the RCC had gone to take control over the Scriptures, the nations, the kingdoms, and the people for financial gain. They sold indulgences, promising those who came up with enough money a much shorter time in Purgatory. Those same ploys are being used today on what has been loosely called “Christian television" by the sale of trinkets and promises of healing, financial gain and even salvation.
These ideas all coalesce in Dominionism. If it were true that the Church needs to take over the planet, then we would be seeing the unstoppable plans of God’s physical Kingdom unfolding. But we do not. All we see are failed prophecies, empty edicts and declarations coming from false apostles and false prophets. They love to fool Christians with talk of the “kingdom" when it is clear they are talking about a different “kingdom"; a Kingdom Now not a Kingdom come. Jesus taught us to pray: “Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven". The implication is that we are to be about building His spiritual Kingdom while praying for and expecting His physical Kingdom to come. The only way we can do that is to continue in the Great Commission till He comes, not attempt to rule where God has not given the Church the authority to rule. Jesus will do that when He returns. If we go off on the tangent the Dominionists want us to go, we will not only miss out on the blessings of His Kingdom to come, but may well be deserving of judgment.

Seeds, Soil & Fruit
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
Bad seeds from a bad tree yield bad fruit.
Matt. 13:38-39 The field is the world,
and the good seed stands for the sons of the kingdom. The
weeds are the sons of the evil one, and the enemy who sows
them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age,
and the harvesters are angels.
Matthew 7:17 Likewise every good tree
bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.
Original sin is the bad seed in everyone. We all start with a bad seed.
Jer. 17:9 The heart is deceitful
above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand
it?
Rom. 3:23 for all have sinned and
fall short of the glory of God,
Rom. 5:12 Therefore, just as sin entered
the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this
way death came to all men, because all sinned
We need to have the bad seed destroyed and replaced with good seed.
Gal. 5:24 Those who belong to Christ
Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its
passions and desires.
Rom. 6:6 For we know that our old
self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be
done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to
sin
1 Pet. 1:23 For you have been born again,
not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through
the living and enduring word of God.
The good seed is the Word, the Gospel.
Luke 8:11 "This is the meaning of the
parable: The seed is the word of God.
1 John 3:9 No one who is born of God will
continue to sin, because God's seed remains in him; he
cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God.
Bad seeds are from the enemy and are full of false doctrine and a false gospel.
Matt. 13:38-39 The field is the world, and the good seed stands for the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one, and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels.

Will the Real Blasphemers Please Stand Up?
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
This subject is one so serious that I do it with great fear and trepidation. Nonetheless, because I get so many e-mails accusing me and other Bereans of blasphemy, among other serious charges, I felt it was necessary to clear up some issues on this topic. Because of my stand for the truth of God's Word juxtaposed against all the false teaching that is going on today, I think it is important to do a quick study on what blasphemy is actually all about from a biblical standpoint. There are many references to blasphemy in the Bible and from them we can find out how and why that term was used.
You will see that the word "blasphemy" in the Scriptures is the very definition of what the false teachers and false prophets are doing today!

"Glitter Christians"
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
Glitter Christians.
This is a name I came up with for people attending and teaching at Oral Roberts University in the 70s. Even back then I had come to realize that their way of representing Christianity was not in line with the Scriptures. At that time I didn’t know that Oral Roberts was carrying on the Word of Faith traditions of New Thought practitioners such as Kenneth Hagin, Kenneth Copeland, Essex Kenyan, Norman Vincent Peale, Robert Schuler, and many other false teachers of the time. Though I didn’t know anything about Word of Faith or New Thought then I knew that the way they were representing Christianity was just not right somehow. Their desire to portray Christians as rich, beautiful, healthy, perfect, and virtually sinless (holiness) went directly against the example of Jesus, the Apostles and the early church.

Screwtape Legacy

The book by C.S. Lewis called "Screwtape Letters" was a clever idea in exposing a number of tactics of the enemy. Those principles are still at work today in many churches. Following is a list of some of the things the enemy wants to see in churches and Christians in order to bring them down.

Bradford Pear Christianity
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
I was driving along and noticing that spring has sprung here in North Carolina. One of the first trees to bloom is the Bradford Pear. I began to notice how that tree has proliferated almost everywhere and then my wife looked up the information on this tree on the web. As she began to read the facts about this tree and its proliferation I began to see an allegorical parallel to what is going on in much of Christendom. But before I get into what the Bradford Pear can show us about the churches, I need to present the facts about the tree.

The Lord's Prayer, Our Prayer
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
Matt. 6:9-13 This, then, is how you should pray: "Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one."
This model prayer that Jesus taught the disciples to pray contains many important precepts. It should probably be called "The Disciple's Prayer". It starts with a very important concept in the first verse.

The Fallacious Arguments of Neo-Universalists
by Sandy Simpson

The new Universalists would include Emerging Church leaders like Brian McLaren, Leonard Sweet, Spencer Burke, Alan Jones and others like Wycliffe, Society of Biblical Literature, World Christian Gathering of Indigenous Peoples, Richard Twiss, Daniel Kikawa, Terry LeBlanc, Rick Warren, Henry Nowen, YWAM, Tony Campolo, Robert Schuller, George Otis Jr., and even Billy Graham.

The future of apologetics and discernment ministries
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
I admit that I am very skeptical about the future of discernment and apologetics ministries. I don't see the next generation coming up to replace those who have stood for the truth for so long. Fortunately many apologists have gone to be with the Lord but who will replace them? I don't see replacements coming up who will take the place of those who have been fighting the fight the years. I run a web site where I collect articles and materials from all over the world and present them in a sort of Reader's Digest format so that people can come to one place to get the latest information on heresies in the churches as well as research past ones. What I've seen in the last couple of years is that the production of regular materials is declining to the point where it's becoming difficult to find one article for my site to post every day. Of course I write my own articles but don't have enough time to write an article on a daily basis. I am very concerned because of the tsunami of false ideas from the enemy in the churches. At the same time, unfortunately, I see a lot of younger people who don't even recognize anymore that something is wrong.

Church History & The Core Doctrines
by Sandy Simpson
This 4-DVD set is a combination of a condensed study on Church History and the Discernment Toolkit series which deals with the core doctrines of the Church and how to use them to discern error. The Church History DVD takes a different approach to Church History in that it does not celebrate the Catholic Church but rather exposes it as false Christianity. It covers World religions, false Christianity and finally a study of the true remnant Church through history following the story of the many martyrs who stood up for true Biblical faith.

The "Weight of Glory"
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
2 Corinthians 4:17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; (KJV)
This is both an incredible source of hope for Christians who are downtrodden, and a source of escalating heresy in many churches.It is critical that we understand what Paul was talking about when he wrote the phrase “weight of glory".Jacob Prasch has repeated this phrase in his teachings over the years … “A text, out of context, in isolation from co-text is always a pre-text."A huge problem today is that individuals and movements tend to yank verses out of their context and build a cult of heresy around them.This is called eisegesis or plugging your own ideas into the Scriptures instead of exegesis, gaining understanding and interpretation of the Bible by studying it in context and in the scope of the whole written Word.

Did God Put "Eternity In Their Hearts"
or "The World In Their Hearts"?
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
In the introduction to Mike Oppenheimer's and my book "Idolatry In Thier Hearts" I exposed the fact that Don Richardson pulled the phrase "Eternity In Thier Hearts" to use as his book title from it's context in Ecc. 3:11. He did this to support his thesis, which actually contradicts the second part of that verse, where it states that man cannot fathom what God has done. Richardson, rather, sets forth what has become the foundation for the false teachings of the WCGIP, YWAM, a number of Bible translation societies and the Emerging Church ... the propostion that men from Gentile cultures have always been seeking God and that Gentile cultures were already worshipping the true God before missionaries came with the Gospel.
But as I further investigated this verse I found that Richardson even ignored the true meaning of the FIRST half of the verse in favor of a few translations that use the phrase "eternity in their hearts".

Christians who “turn away�?
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
Jeremiah 3:10-11 And yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah hath not turned unto me with her whole heart, but feignedly, saith the LORD. And the LORD said unto me, “The backsliding Israel hath justified herself more than treacherous Judah." (KJV) Israel had turned away from the Lord and had gone after the gods of Canaan, namely Baal and Asherah. Because Israel had prostituted herself with false gods in worshipping the polytheistic gods that started at Babel, God had declared He was divorcing Israel and would send them into exile until they again returned to the true God. But Judah prided itself in doing what God had commended as they had Jerusalem and the Temple. They disdained Israel for setting up altars to Baal and Asherah poles on high hills. Yet God was not fooled by Judah’s pretence. In the KJV it says they were not worshipping God with their whole heart but “feignedly".

Prophets for profit
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
2 Cor. 2:17 Unlike so many, we do not peddle the word of God for profit. On the contrary, in Christ we speak before God with sincerity, as those sent from God.
There are many false teachers on TV these days who peddle the word of God for profit. They make promises of healing that do not come true by claiming if they are given a financial gift the person will receive healing and riches. When what they promised does not happen the person is blamed that they did not have enough faith. This often destroys the faith of people who fall into the traps of these snake oil salesmen. I have no problem with people charging for their materials if they cost to be produced, even though it is hoped that when a person cannot afford to pay for books and DVDs they will receive them free of charge. But the charges levied on people for conferences and speaking engagements is often excessive. A minister of God can ask for support and deserves it if they are being diligent in their study and proclamation of the Word. But experiences and feelings often come with a price today and that is not right.

"Mistake" or "Sin"?
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
Today we often hear the word "mistake" coming from pulpits, and especially in defense of false teaching and false prophesy. "Cut him some slack! He just made some mistakes". "We all make mistakes, so don't judge lest you be judged." We even hear the word "mistakes" being substituted for the word "sin" in many presentations of what I have termed "Gospel Lite" today. So is it proper to substitute the word "mistake" for the word "sin"? We'll look at the problem of one word "mistakenly" being used for the other.

I am sorry to say this but Bethel is clearly a cult of Christianity holding to most of the teachings of the Latter Rain and Word of Faith.

Servant Authority
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
The world system has always been a "top down" structure, starting at the apex of the pyramid and going down to the bottom. In kingdoms we have the king at the top, then the princes, common people, slaves. In a democracy we have the President at the top, the VP, the Sec. of State on down to the citizens. In business we have the CEO at the top, upper management, lower management, office workers and the janitors. Unfortunately, sometime in the third century, the church started to have a top down structure. This is also when the church began to be in error. The church of Rome began to have a "top down" structure that started with the pope, then cardinals, then bishops, then priests, then the people. Well, what about that? Eph 4:11 It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, This all sounds like a "top down" structure. But the problem is that people have not seen an important fact about these gifts of the Spirit -- man looks at function and title, God looks at aim and goal! Read on. Eph. 4:12 to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up. These are not gifts given for title or to give people job descriptions. They are given because there are people out there who need our help! The church needed the Apostles. They were the ones who were the foundation of the church. They were the ones who saw Jesus in the flesh and were taught by Him personally. They wrote the New Testament Scriptures. Though the gifts of apostle and prophet are different today than in biblical times, the gift of evangelism, pastoring, teaching and others are still the same. A person who is an evangelist does not just have a title so he can rule over people. The reason that he has the gift to be an evangelist is so that he can tell others the good news. Why do we have pastors? Are they supposed to rule the church and get everyone to support them and bow to their demands? No. They are to serve the church by helping people to come to a fuller knowledge of Jesus Christ, to equip the saints to become more like Jesus every day.
The true structure of Christianity is symbolized as an inverted pyramid!

"Overtake you like a thief"

1 Thessalonians 5:4 But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day would overtake you like a thief; How serious will it be for a person to be overtaken in "that day" like a thief overtakes a household when he slips in and steals? Will it just be a surprise for those who claim to be Christians who will get a slap on the wrist by the Lord but still proceed to heaven? Will they simply lose rewards but still gain the ultimate reward? What is this darkness that the brethren are not in? 1 Thessalonians 5:3-5 While they are saying, "Peace and safety!" then destruction will come upon them suddenly like labor pains upon a woman with child, and they will not escape. But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day would overtake you like a thief; for you are all sons of light and sons of day. We are not of night or of darkness;

Generic and Specific
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
In my article "Blasphemizing the Bible" I give a number of examples of how a lot of modern Bible translation societies are putting the names of "supreme beings" in the Bible in the place of God or YHWH. In this article I'm going to examine two of the excuses they make for making those substitutions in the Bible in many hundreds of different languages today.
(1) They claim that God has many different names and therefore they think they are justified in putting the names of various gods of various cultures in Bibles, as long as they are considered "supreme beings".
(2) The second excuse they give is that the names of the "gods" they are placing in the Bible are generic terms for God, like the words "God", "Theos", "Dios" and "Elohim". By generic I mean a word that can be used for any deity whether of the one true God or other false gods who claim to be God.
I will go through both of these excuses and show that they are both unbiblical, therefore the Bibles they have translated with names of other gods in them, or names they claim are generic, prove that they have "blasphemized" those Bibles.

The Ugly Side of Diaprax
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
There has been a concerted effort by the false teachers from many movements inside the church such as Word of Faith, New Apostolic Reformation (NAR)/Latter Rain, World Gathering on Indigenous People and Emerging Church among others to diaprax people into thinking that the church has been ineffective until they came along with their new and improved ideas on how to take over the world. This is always a feature of the Hegelian Dialectical process put into action by praxis, thus diaprax. In order to form a new paradigm or worldview the leadership of these movements must vilify orthodox Biblical Christianity.

Healer?
Heal Thyself!
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
A good subtitle for this article might be "Practice What You Preach!" There is no doubt that God can and does heal people today. But the false doctrines of the Word-Faith Movement about "declaring" healing, "name-it-and-claim-it", etc. have been proven to be lies by the very people who sell this deceit. If you don't know about where these famous "faith healers" go when they need healing, you may be surprised. Why couldn't they heal themselves when they purported to be able to heal others by virtue of their superior faith? What happened to the extraordinary faith they claimed to have, enough faith to heal and be healed? Since they are the ones who taught that all you have to do is claim the healing that is in the Atonement (Is. 53:5) why did they not do so? Don't their deaths prove that what they were preaching was a lie and pragmatic witchcraft rather than biblical relality?

God"s Attitude toward the "Supreme Beings" of the Nations
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
It is quite clear from Scripture that YHWH does NOT consider the "supreme beings" of the nations to be Himself, the One True God. This is in opposition to the teachings of Don Richardson, Daniel Kikawa, Richard Twiss and many others promoting the World Christian Gathering of Indigenous People movement, Emergent Church and Liberal theologies. I have proven this time and time again in my articles on the subject but I am going to consolidate the information from the Bible in this article by studying the false gods named in the Bible. I am sure I will not be able to cover every instance of supreme beings mentioned in the Bible but I (1) want to deal with some of the major ones (2) show you where they are found in the Word, and (3) prove that they were the "supreme beings" of those nations named by the patriarchs, prophets and Apostles and that they were not monotheistic gods but polytheistic in the tradition of Babel where the false religion of polytheism first took root through the worship of Nimrod and Semiramis.

You need to "nip it in the bud"!
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
I am writing this article to address a subject that I have often observed. It is the fact that if you do not get the leaven out of your church the leaven will become the leadership.The Bible teaches quite clearly that if you let the leaven in you will leaven the whole lump.
Galatians 5:9 A little leaven leavens the whole lump of dough.
We see this often in the case of many "Christian" movements that have allowed a small error to exist in their churches and have not dealt with those issues. It then ends up metastasizing into worse and worse problems as time goes by.

The New Panentheistic "God" Of Christendom
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
Now, I bet you read the title of this article and thought I had misspelled the word "pantheism". Just so that those of you who write to me advising me of words I have misspelled in articles (and I do often) I want to tell you that I am using the term "panentheism" as coined by Karl C. F. Krause. You can read more about this word and concept in an excellent book called "A Time Of Departing" by Ray Yungen.
There is a new "God" being promoted in the Third Wave, New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) and Word of Faith movements whose teachers are regularly seen on TBN, Daystar, SkyAngel, CBN and other "Christian" TV networks. Some of those teachers even have, what would be considered, a fairly typical statement of faith or doctrinal statement they endorse. But by what they teach they end up promoting a false unbiblical view of God, especially through their actions and experiences. The whole phenomenon of "slain in the spirit" and all the antics that go with it are brainwashing an entire generation of Christians to put their faith in another Jesus, another Spirit, another Gospel. This new "Jesus" and "Holy Spirit" is clearly pantheistic or panentheistic in nature. Though some of these teachers would claim to be believing in the God who is One God in Three Persons, by what they teach they deny the very revealed character of God from Scripture.

What Should I Say?
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this booklet.
How do you answer an invitation to attend a meeting where you know nothing about the speaker or what will be done there? What happens if they want to announce the meeting at your church and invite everyone? What do you say to a person who tells you that you don"t have the Holy Spirit even though you are a Christian? What should you do if you think something is wrong, or your conscience is bothering you about something that was said or done? The answer?
Go to the Scriptures!
The Bible has all the answers to your questions. This little booklet is an attempt to deal with a few of the typical statements you will hear from people who have become involved in the Third Wave revival movement. By "Third Wave" I am referring to teachers, "prophets" and any meeting associated with the Toronto "Blessing", Brownsville Assemblies of God, Rodney Howard-Browne, Benny Hinn, Kenneth Copeland, Rod Parsley, Marilyn Hickey, Joyce Meyers, Bethel Church, Lakeland and many others who appear on the Trinity Broadcasting Network and the 700 Club on TV.
Hopefully the statements and answers in this booklet will set you off on an investigation of your own in the Word. If you need help, and you have access to the Internet, you can visit my web site called "Deception In The Church" that deals with these issues and has the articles mentioned in this booklet.

Luring People To Destruction
By The Unscrupulous Use Of The "Gospel" Message
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
Phil. 1:14-18 Because of my chains, most of the brothers in the Lord have been encouraged to speak the word of God more courageously and fearlessly. It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill. The latter do so in love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel. The former preach Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing that they can stir up trouble for me while I am in chains. But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice. Yes, and I will continue to rejoice,
If you see what I see in this passage, this argument cannot be used for people like Benny Hinn, Kenneth Copeland and the hundreds, even thousands of Third Wave ministers today who are not merely envious and self ambitious, but are also teaching outright false doctrine. Paul was not talking about heretics in this statement, but "brothers in the Lord" who preach the Gospel with wrong motives. Third Wave teachers not only have wrong motives, they also have the wrong message. This argument cannot be used for people like Hinn, even if they manage to preach enough of the "Gospel" for people to come to a saving knowledge of the Lord, because they are also teaching and practicing heresy.

One of Satan"s Final Masquerades
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
2 Corinthians 11:14 And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.
Satan often disguises himself with the purpose of deceiving people. One way in which I believe he is putting on a masquerade is by appearing as "Mary" to millions of people worldwide.

Attack Of The Enemy
On The 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.

Marks Of False Religion
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
Colossians 2:8 See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Christ.
In context Paul is especially addressing, though perhaps not to the exclusion of other false religion, what had become the false religion of the Pharisees and Jewish leadership. There were many Jewish so-called "Christians" making the rounds among the fledgling early churches who were trying to get the Gentiles to come under the Law from which Christ had purchased their freedom. John Gill states this case well in his commentary.

Universalism in the World
has Permeated the Church
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
The current fad of interfaith solidarity and unity is simply a thin guise of inclusivism, Universalism and pluralism.
Universalism is defined by Dictionary.com as: The doctrine that emphasizes the universal fatherhood of God and the final salvation of all souls. (Source) Universalism is a religion and theology that generally holds all persons and creatures are related to God or the divine and will be reconciled to God. (Source)
Pluralism is defined as: The doctrine that reality is composed of many ultimate substances. " The belief that no single explanatory system or view of reality can account for all the phenomena of life. (American Heritage Dictionary, (Source)
Inclusivism is: "Inclusivism posits that even though the work of Christ is the only means of salvation, it does not follow that explicit knowledge of Christ is necessary in order for one to be saved. In contrast to pluralism, inclusivism agrees with exclusivism in affirming the particularity of salvation in Jesus Christ. But unlike exclusivism, inclusivism holds that an implicit faith response to general revelation can be salvific. God expects from man a response proportional to the light given. Saving faith is not characterized so much by its cognitive content as it is by its reverent quality." (Ken Keathley, None Dare Call It Treason: Is an Inclusivist a Paul Revere or a Benedict Arnold? (Ken Keathley, Assistant Professor of Theology and Philosophy New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, (Source)
We deal with these old heresies brought forward to modernity, these ideas that all men have have a relationship with God that will cause them to be able to avoid judgement in our book on the teachings of the World Gathering on Indigenous People movement called "Idolatry In Their Hearts". The idea that all men who worship a "god" are worshipping the true God, YHWH, has bubbled up to the very top of our societies and religions, and even Christendoom, and should sound a warning alarm to true Biblical Christianity. Instead, as usual in our day, most Christians are asleep at the wheel while Universalists claim that you can pray to a "god" like Allah and be praying to the true Trinue God, YHWH. I also dealt with the fact that Allah is not YHWH, both in our book and in the article "Is Allah The Same As YHWH?".

What We Need Is A Reverse Paradigm Shift!
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
I'm going to warn you now. I am going to let you in on some information tonight that is going to radically change your world view. You are likely going to experience the beginnings of a reverse paradigm shift and after tonight there will be no way to go back the way you came. You will be faced with choices that you may never have known you had. You will be faced with a new way of looking at things that is going to cause you to rethink everything that is being taught in the Emerging Latter Rain churches. It is going to be radical because the basis for this message doesn't come from Jesus Christ visiting my room last night bodily, but from His holy written Word. So buckle down your seat belts, you're likely in for a bumpy ride!
Matt. 7:15-23 "Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep"s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them. "Not everyone who says to me, "Lord, Lord," will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, "Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?" Then I will tell them plainly, "I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!"

False Teachers Revisited
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
I often receive requests to present updated false teachings and false prophecies by the myriad of heretics out there. We do try to keep up with all the latest. But I have to remind people that those we have exposed as false on our site have not repented of what they have already done in the past, which is why they are still on our site. So what they are doing now has no relevance as to whether or not they are now to be considered a true Biblical teacher. If and when they repent, that is renounce their false teachings and false prophecies, make restitution to those they have deceived, and begin to teach sound Biblical doctrine we will give you that information. As of now NONE of the people we have exposed have repented of their Latter Rain, Word of Faith teachings, heretical practices or their false prophecies. But in the interest of helping you to respond to a person who inquires by saying: "Those articles are old and you need newer materials" well, here is some newer stuff you can add to the pile. For you and me this really makes no difference, but for those who are living in deception perhaps it might demolish one of their arguments against the truth.

Testing The Spirits
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
Sometimes I really wonder why someone who claims to be a Bible believing pastor, for instance, refuses to listen to the truth. It frankly boggles my mind. I don't know if it is as a result of the postmodern paradigm or just that they have no love of the truth left. I don't know how that can happen in a truly regenerate person. You would think that the Holy Spirit would confirm the truth to them, first in their conscience, and finally through the written Word. But these days it is a miracle if it gets that far. I don't know if their conscience has been so seared that they don't hear the Spirit or if they just don't want to know the truth because then they would be responsible for it. I know that I cannot know their motives or the reasons why they reject truth and refuse to talk about false teaching, but I do know one thing: we are called as true believers to test the spirits. We must do this even if the result is not to our liking or befuddles us as to the reasons.
1 John 4:1 Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

Questions for Those Who Claim the "Supreme Beings"
Of the Nations Are the True God
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
I have some questions for those of the World Christian Gathering of Indigenous People (WCGIP) adherents such as Don Richardson, Daniel Kikawa, Richard Twiss (deceased), Terry LeBlanc, Danny Lehman, Aloha Ke Akua, YWAM as well as many in the Emergent Church (EC) ... the questions arise from their claim that the "supreme beings" of the nations are all the True God, YHWH, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. You can read more on this subject in our book "Idolatry In Their Hearts" or in the WCGIP section of my site. My main question for them is this: When did ANY of the Patriarchs and Prophets in the Old Testament and the Apostles or Jesus Christ in the New Testament EVER claim that the "supreme beings" of the nations were Elohim/YHWH, the one True God? Let's look at some examples in the form of questions and you can check out the source links as well.

How To Discern, Test & Judge Rightly
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
In running a web site with thousands of articles, 1-2 million hits per month from all over the world, and hundreds of e-mails per week, I have come to realize, with time, that there is a terrible problem in Christendom today. The problem stems from an existential subjective view of the world that has filtered into the church from secular society, but also from the teachings of heretical wolves who have taught an entire generation of churchgoers completely unbiblical methods of discernment or to get rid of any discernment altogether.

We need a firm foundation to weather the storm of false ideas
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
Matthew 22:29 Jesus answered and said unto
them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power
of God. (KJV)
Matthew 7:24 "Therefore everyone who hears
these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a
wise man who built his house on the rock.
How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord,
Is laid for your faith in His excellent word!
" 1787 Joseph Funk & Robert Keene
A house built on the rock will stand. The Rock is God and in particular, Jesus Christ. Therefore His written Word is the teachings of the His Holy Spirit and a Rock we can depend on. Anyone who wants to prove anything theologically, historically, scientifically or anything else needs to start with correct information. If you start with a faulty foundation, as you build your arguments, they begin to fall apart because they are not supported in God"s truth. If you want to build on a firm foundation, you need to start the process by a careful study of God"s Word in context of the verse and according to the whole counsel of God"s Word. The Bible is the best commentary on the Bible.

Karma (by any other name)
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
According to Wikipedia:
"Karma means action, work or deed; it also refers to the principle of causality where intent and actions of an individual influence the future of that individual. Good intent and good deed contribute to good karma and future happiness, while bad intent and bad deed contribute to bad karma and future suffering. Karma is closely associated with the idea of rebirth in some schools of Asian religions. In these schools, karma in the present affects one's future in the current life, as well as the nature and quality of future lives - or, one's samsara. With origins in ancient India, it is a key concept in Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism, Taoism, Shintoism, Ching Hai and others."(emphasis mine)
Mirram-Webster defines it this way:
the force created by a person's actions that is believed in Hinduism and Buddhism to determine what that person's next life will be like: the force created by a person's actions that some people believe causes good or bad things to happen to that person
Given the definitions of "karma" above, this same idea, usually without the reincarnation aspect in Christian circles, has been taught for decades in New Thought movements such as the Positive Thinking/Positive Confession teachings of Norman Vincent Peale & Robert Schuller, the Word of Faith ideas of Essex Kenyan, Kenneth Hagin, Kenneth Copeland and Benny Hinn, the mixture of Eastern Mysticism and Christianity by Korean false teachers such as the "force of faith" Paul Yongii Cho, and newer renditions and fusions by people like Joel Osteen, Joseph Prince, T.D. Jakes (recently agreeing with Oprah Winfrey who teaches karma on her WHO network), and others such as Ernest Angley, John Bevere, Markus Bishop, Juanita Bynum, Morris Cerullo, Kim Clement, Paul Crouch, Creflo Dollar, Jesse Duplantis, Marilyn Hickey, Brian Houston, Rodney Howard-Browne, Larry Huch, Bishop Eddie L. Long, Clarence McClendon, Joyce Meyer, Myles Munroe, Steve Munsey, Mike Murdock, Rod Parsley, Peter Popoff, Fred Price, Oral Roberts, R.W.

His Name, The Only Name

Zechariah 14:9 NIV The LORD will be king over the whole earth. On that day there will be one LORD, and his name the only name.

Replacement Theology On Steroids
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
So, as you can see, the root of this teaching is that Israel no longer holds the distinction of being the tree from which the Root of David (Jesus-Rev. 5:5, 22:16) came. They are no longer the "natural branches" (Israel-Rom. 11:21) on to which Gentile Christianity (the wild shoots-Rom. 11:17 or wild branches-Rom. 11:24) are grafted in (Rom. 11:17-24). According to Replacement Theology, Christianity has now become its own branch apart from Israel (the natural branch) that produced the Root and all the promises of the Bible to Israel have been taken away from them and given to the Gentile Church. This is why you hear so many false teachers taking verses out of context from the Old Testament and willy-nilly applying them to the Gentile Church. This methodology has been going on for decades in liberal churches and has been popularized by many false teachers on TV. But the fact is that Replacement Theology is utter false doctrine. It denies promises made to Israel, some of which have already been fulfilled and some which are yet to come to fruition. But when you add the fact that the Inclusivist WCGIP proponents are now saying that God planted hundreds of different trees, cultures all over the world, that are not connected to the natural branch, tree and Root, you have what can only be termed Replacement Theology on steroids!

Those Who Do Not Lead Christians to Maturity
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
The Scriptural definition of maturity is to learn to discern truth from error so that the Christian will no longer be double minded, blown about by every wind of teaching and by the schemes of crafty people. But the problem today is that so few Christian teachers are feeding their flock's solid food. They are serving up milk and, because of that, people are starving. Yet they often don't even know they have been on a starvation diet. Amos 8:11 "The days are coming," declares the Sovereign Lord, "when I will send a famine through the land - not a famine of food or a thirst for water, but a famine of hearing the words of the Lord."

"... and all liars"
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
Lying is a problem for all people (Ps. 116:11). We are all sinners (Rom. 3:23). Those of us who are Christians are "sinners saved by grace" (Eph. 2:8) indwelt by the Holy Spirit in our "new self" (Col. 3:10). But we still live in our "old self" which we must "put off" (Eph. 4:20-25) by taking up our cross daily and following Christ (Luke 9:23). The difference between unbelievers and those who are truly born again is that believers no longer "practice sin" (1 John 3:9, see my Bible study on 1 John!) They have the indwelling Holy Spirit (Rom. 8:11) who convicts them when they lie (John 16:8). True believers then repent (1 John 1:9) and go on to "practice righteousness" (1 John 2:29) with the Lord's help. The unregenerate, the false brothers, or those who have fallen away (Gal. 5:4, Mark 4:17), practice lying. They practice a lifestyle of lying because their consciences are seared (1 Tim. 4:2) and the Holy Spirit, when convicting them, cannot break through the hardness of their unrepentant hearts (Eph. 4:17-19, Heb. 3:13).

Four Books That the Enemy Has Used To Corrupt Christianity
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
The four books that have changed the church by giving an introduction to the false teachings of the New Apostolic/Latter Rain (NAR), the Emerging Church/Contemplative/Catholic Mysticism (EC), pragmatic Church Growth (CG) methodologies of C. Peter Wagner, Robert Schuller and Peter Drucker, and the teachings of the World Christian Gathering on Indigenous People (WCGIP) are as follows:
Surprised by the Power of the Spirit by Jack Deer, Celebration of Discipline by Richard Foster, Purpose Driven Church by Rick Warren & Etnerity In Their Hearts by Don Richardson.
These four books were widely read by Christians from virtually every denominational background before their ramifications and the movements they would spawn were known. They lay error alongside truth so were considered not to be a threat to churches. Therefore these books then became part of the consciousness of many Christians and churches, thereby laying the basis for the introduction of the modern day false teachings of the NAR, EC, CG and WCGIP that have become part of the landscape of Christendom today.

Night Marchers and UFOs on the Big Island
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
With the resurgence of the old religion of Hawaii and the continual invocation of Pel" and other "deities" for years in the secular culture and even in churches with regards to worshipping 'Io, is it any wonder that those beings are beginning to manifest again? In a story called "Night Marchers" on the Kawaihae site and in a YouTube video on the same subject, eyewitnesses claim all kinds of sightings that they think are the warriors, ancestors and demi-gods of Hawaii coming back. Interestingly the first book the Hawaiian Heritage site recommends in its "Suggested Reading" list is "Perpetuated in Righteousness" by Daniel Kikawa that we reviewed in our book "Idolatry In Their Hearts" by Sandy Simpson and Mike Oppenheimer. Since Kikawa claims that 'Io is the True God and one that the Hawaiians worshipped in secret, we have to wonder if Kikawa also thinks 'Io is showing up in these night marches? Since YWAM, Aloha Ke Akua and Hilo New Hope participated in worshipping 'Io at the "edge of Hale-ma'uma'u Crater" it sounds like they have all been inviting the old "gods" to return to Hawaii.

"They Will Believe
The Lie"
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
I am doing a Bible study right now on what I would call "renewing our minds". It is based on this verse:
Romans 12:2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is - his good, pleasing and perfect will.
The only way to renew our minds is to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, confess our sins, and be saved, then to study the written Word and allow the indwelling Holy Spirit to teach us. Our minds are corrupted by virtue of the sin nature and what we have learned in life because our filters are off. I gave an illustration of straining coconut to make coconut milk. If you use a 1 inch screen everything will pass through. Even if you use a quarter inch screen you will get mostly coconut meat in your milk. You have to use a fine screen in order to separate the milk from the leftover. Our filters are off and the first thing God begins to do is correct our worldview, because if your worldview is off you will not understand God's reality. We need to learn to see things from His perspective. This is why I started this study by going back to an original problem.
2 Thessalonians 2:9-12 The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie, and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.
This has always been an interesting passage to me for a few different reasons. What is "the lie" that is talked about here in verse 9 and 11? What are the ways that "wickedness deceives those who are perishing" and how long has this been going on or does this only begin to happen at the coming of the lawless one? In what way does "the lie" cause those who do not believe the truth to "delight in wickedness"?

Critical Missiological Issue!
The "Indigenous People's" (IPM) or "First Nations" movement is an unbiblical movement teaching heresies and doctrines of demons. It is being spread worldwide by YWAM, Don Richardson, John Dawson, Richard Twiss, Terry LeBlanc, Daniel Kikawa and many other adherents. The IPM or World Christian Gathering On Indigenous People is full of the false teachings of the Third Wave, New Apostolic Reformation (NAR), Word-Faith, Dominionism, Latter Rain and many other false theological systems. But it does have it's own distinctives that are driven by the works of Daniel Kikawa, Richard Twiss, and Don Richardson in particular. They are teaching Christians to "redeem" their cultures by worshipping their former gods, pretending they are YHWH.

"Christians" Who Try To Poke Holes In Sola Scriptura
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article: "Christians" Who Try To Poke Holes In Sola Scriptura
There are a number of the leadership of the Emerging Church (EC) who do not believe that the Bible is the highest authority for the Christian faith. Most do not believe that the Bible is inerrant in the original manuscripts and many do not acknowledge that the Bible is our highest revelation. Yet this is a core doctrine over which true believers and false brethren must separate. Those who try to poke holes in Sola Scriptura make excuses like (1) we need to reinterpret the Bible through the lens of postmodern culture and religion (2) the Bible never uses the words "Sola Scriptura" therefore it is not a Biblical concept (3) there is new revelation for the church through the Holy Spirit apart from what is written and the precepts of the Bible and (4) the Bible just doesn't address our postmodern situation therefore we cannot rely on it for the truth and answers for our problems today. I will prove that all the above arguments, and more, from EC leaders and others is exactly what they are teaching. I will give you quotes from their teachings, videos and books. The postmodern church and its "movements" are abandoning Sola Scriptura in their rush to be like the Roman Catholic Church, which takes its authority from a mix of Scripture and tradition.
"As a result the Church, to whom the transmission and interpretation of Revelation is entrusted, "does not derive her certainty about all revealed truths from the holy Scriptures alone. Both Scripture and Tradition must be accepted and honored with EQUAL sentiments of devotion and reverence." (Roman Catholic Catechism, Given October 11, 1992, the thirtieth anniversary of the opening of the Second Vatican Ecumenical Council, in the fourteenth year of my Pontificate. Page 31).

The Question Of Dominion
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article: The
Question
Of Dominion.
I am writing this article as an apologetic against the Third Wave, Latter Rain, Word of Faith and Reformed Theology teachings that the Church is to rise up and take over the systems of government, businesses and every other aspect of life. "See, the problem is, is that Satan has had too much of his way in our society because he has a government! And the only way to overthrow a government is with a government. It won't happen otherwise. So therefore the government of the church has to get into place in the extended church just like we do have it very well in place, we haven't reached our goal yet ..." (Transcript of C. Peter Wagner, Arise Prophetic Conference, Gateway Church, San Jose, CA, 10-10-2004) Wagner has substituted the "government of the church" for the coming government of Jesus Christ in the Millennial Kingdom. Wagner is "Kingdom Now" while the Bible teaches "Kingdom Come". What I wanted to do with this article is put the issue of dominion to rest by studying the definition the Bible gives to dominion and ruling authority. When we look at the subject we can easily ascertain what is going on today and what God requires of the Church.

Shepherd Or Hireling?
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on the article: "Shepherd
Or
Hireling?"
The Bible lays out the definitions of both an overseer (under shepherd) and a hireling. John 10:11-13 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep. (KJV) 1 Tim. 3:1-3 Here is a trustworthy saying: If anyone sets his heart on being an overseer, he desires a noble task. Now the overseer must be above reproach, the husband of but one wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money. (NIV) Titus 1:7-13 Since an overseer is entrusted with God's work, he must be blameless, not overbearing, not quick-tempered, not given to drunkenness, not violent, not pursuing dishonest gain. Rather he must be hospitable, one who loves what is good, who is self-controlled, upright, holy and disciplined. He must hold firmly to the trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that he can encourage others by sound doctrine and refute those who oppose it. For there are many rebellious people, mere talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision group. They must be silenced, because they are ruining whole households by teaching things they ought not to teach - and that for the sake of dishonest gain. Even one of their own prophets has said, "Cretans are always liars, evil brutes, lazy gluttons." This testimony is true. Therefore, rebuke them sharply, so that they will be sound in the faith. (NIV) A hireling does not really care about being a watchman, but is more concerned with protecting his reputation, position and income. A true watchman will guard the flock against wolves from within (Acts 20:30) and without (Acts 20:29) no matter the cost to his reputation, position or income. Following is a little quiz you can take to see if you are a true Biblical under shepherd as a leader in your church, are becoming a hireling, or are one now.

Too many churches today are allowing music to be used in their services that is not glorifying to the Lord and can actually be a hindrance to the teaching of sound doctrine. Pastors and leaders should be using their leadership role to test what is being played and sung in their churches. Though some are quick to test preaching and teaching from their pulpits, many ignore the music being used in the same services. This is a tragic mistake. Music is a powerful medium. It is something that effects deeply the body, mind and emotions. It is a proven fact that music often stays with a person far longer than what is taught or preached. Songs roam around in our heads, especially if the melody appeals to us. What is often overlooked is the serious impression music makes on people, and the teaching they are getting over and over again as they allow the song to repeat in their minds and on their lips. Music teaches things much more subtly yet sometimes far more effectively. That's why the lyrical content of music in the church, as well as its effect on the spiritual lives of those who perform and listen, should be vigorously examined by the leaders of the church. This is a 2-DVD set.

Examine Yourselves & Hold On!
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on the articles "Examine
Yourself
To See If You Are In The Faith" and "Hold
On!"
2 Cor. 13:5 Examine yourselves to
see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves.
Do you not realise that Christ Jesus is in
you - unless, of course, you fail the test?
People who call themselves followers of Christ or "Christians" and claim they are born again must believe certain things. If they do not then they fail the test of faith. They can claim they are born again all they want and "once saved, always saved" but if they fail the test of faith there is no eternal security. Only God knows who will be saved, from beginning to end, because of His foreknowledge and omniscience (Rom. 8:29, 1 Pet. 1:2). God did not make an arbitrary judgment about who would be saved and who would not. His Spirit is given to those He foreknew, when convicted of sin by His Holy Spirit, would choose to believe and commit themselves to Jesus Christ. We are not God and we do not have His omniscience. Therefore, according to Paul, we must be sure our belief system is in the right place once our eyes have been opened to the Truth. I am not saying we do not have assurance of salvation, but our assurance comes not only because of His Atonement and promises of salvation but from our continuing in the Faith, which is always the Biblical criteria. Those who would be Bible teachers must teach according to the whole counsel of God's Word. Let me be clear. There is only one way to salvation. That is by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone. I will deal with a few of those issues following, but it is important to recognize that being saved is not just a matter of believing that Jesus lived, or that He was a man, or simply giving mental ascent to His existence in whatever form.

"Blasphemizing" The Bible
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
I am going to go over an article I wrote back in 2006 in preparation for the book I wrote with Mike Oppenheimer called 'Idolatry in Their Hearts'. This book is an apologetic against the false teachings of the World Christian Gathering on Indigenous People movement, the Emerging Church and the New Apostolic Reformation which got their ideas from the book "Eternity in Their Hearts" by Don Richardson. At the time that book came out no one really saw the dangerous ideas Richardson was promoting. All they would have had to do was look at the two subtitles of that book to understand the implications. The first subtitle in the 1981 edition read: The Untold Story of Christianity among Folk Religions of Ancient People. Those who read this book found some interesting cross-cultural ideas but apparently missed the false premise of the book starting with the subtitle. How could Christianity be "among folk religions" where the Gospel had not been preached (Rom. 10:14-15)? At that time Christians who read the book were apparently satisfied that, though there was some questionable material present, it made for an interesting discussion on how to do cross-cultural ministry. The subtitle it has today, which was first published in 1984, is as follows: Startling Evidence of Belief in the One True God in Hundreds of Cultures Throughout the World. This should have been a red flag for many Christians but then, who reads subtitles? But how could the "One True God" be known to Gentiles who did "not know God".

Resources For Pastors
including
"Good English Bible Translations"
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
I was talking with a pastor after a Wednesday night service and he mentioned that I said I had done an article comparing English Bible translations. He called me up later and asked me to come back and present the contents of that article I sent out in about 2002 to my mailing list for the Pacific Waves Newsletter which, unfortunately, I can no longer afford to publish and mail. However an archive of past issues of that newsletter can be found here. In that article I detailed a number of good and bad resources for pastors including Bible translations, concordances, commentaries, Bible dictionaries, etc. I present an edited version of part of that article on this DVD, particularly dealing with English Translations of the Bible. Translation is a very detailed endeavor and should only be undertaken by those with a proper education in that subject and a sound doctrinal background. I read a few books on that subject and it helped me understand the complexities involved. Hebrew is a rich language so it is hard to distill one Hebrew word down to one English word. Greek is a very technical language and it is also not easy to translate. This is why it is imperative to use the good English translations out there for comparison along with a good concordance and Bible dictionary.

A TALE OF TWO KINGDOMS
Kingdom Now or Kingdom Come?
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
There are two kingdoms being taught in many churches today. Teaching about one of the kingdoms is on the decline while the other is being promoted all over the place. I am warning Christians that they need to check out who is using the word "kingdom", the books they have been reading and recommend on building "the kingdom", the people they have been hanging out with at conferences, and what they mean by "the kingdom".

From Church To Emerging Church DVD
Series
by Sandy Simpson
The issue of the Emerging Church and it's
introduction into many churches and mission organizations has
reached a critical point. Many do not undersand what is
being leavened into churches by the EC leadership. Many
would be shocked to know their belief systems involve
Universalism, New Age, defense of postmodernism,
Interfaithism, and many other false doctrines. In order
to reach out to this generation the EC leadership is proposing
a whole new "map" to deal with what they perceive is a lack of
understanding on the part of the churches on how to
communicate. EC proponants believe the "scripture" for
today is evolving and must change in order to reach
postmoderns.

Idolatry In Their Hearts
Landmark Book!
by Sandy Simpson &
Mike Oppenheimer
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 false teachings of The New Apostolic Reformation
regarding missiological methods as being carried out by many
agencies including the World Christian Gathering on Indigenous
People, YWAM, and many Bible societies.

Lessons In Forgiveness
Great Study!
by Sandy Simpson
Through the years I
have been presented with many opportunities to forgive.
Sometimes the situation was so severe that it took me some
time to forgive and start the process of healing for
myself, and eventually for others. I learned that a
Christian needs to forgive other people even if they have
not repented of their sins. That can be really hard if we
let it be hard. But if we give our burdens over to the
Lord, He will carry them and that frees us up to treat
other people with love, compassion, and be in the right
frame of mind and heart to set them up for reconciliation
with Jesus Christ. That does not mean we tolerate their
sin. We simply forgive them for what they have done to us,
whether perceived or real, and move on to looking for ways
to redeem them. We can then present to them the "truth in
love" even when we have to rebuke them.

Reverse Paradigm Shift
by Sandy Simpson
We live in a topsy-turvy
world of opposing ideas.
It is easy to get lost and overwhelmed.
We as Christians often don’t realize how much we
have been diapraxed by the world, the flesh and the devil. Our paradigm has
been altered to such a degree that, without the solid
foundation of Scripture, we are often set adrift without
the anchor God has provided us.
Our paradigm is our worldview, our understanding
of reality. Without
the guidance of the Holy Spirit and the written eternal
Word, we really have no hope of understanding reality, our
cultures, or our lives.
I have written this book to clue the reader into
some of the issues that surround the modern born-again
believer and how to reverse the shift that has
exponentially changed our perspective in some cases. Fortunately, in
the foreknowledge of our Lord, He provided us with a
roadmap to navigate our fallen world.
We don’t need a new map, as Emergent Church
advocates claim. We
need the tried and true map of the ages.
There is “nothing new under the sun”.
There have always been false prophets and false
teachers who are there by the will of the enemy to mislead
and ultimately destroy the faith of many.
We are clearly living in the Apostasy foretold in
the Bible that has been growing preceding the appearance
of the Antichrist. We
need to carefully test ourselves to be sure we are in the
Faith, and then hold on to the hope we have in Christ.

The DVD videos available with this feature are in MP4 format, playable on your computer or personal device as long as you have a program on it that can play back MP4s. Due to storage restrictions the instant download version of the DVD videos we have available in MP4 format are of slightly less resolution as the DVD version. However with this option you save shipping and handling and delivery time. The videos are $10. each and PayLoadz will send you to PayPal for payment. So now you have a choice.
I am also now offering downloadable audio MP3s of the same
videos. Check the product page for the PayLoadz link to those
MP3s. This is a good option for those who like to listen
to programs in their car, etc. and don't have time to watch a

I am in the process of adding that feature to all the product

instead of a DVD or CD. The cost is the same for a flash drive
as for a DVD/CD ($10. plus s/h). The nice thing about a

"For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ." 2Corinthians 11:13 Sandy Simpson, of the Apologetics Coordination Team, joins me to discuss the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR). Sandy runs Deception in the Church, an extensive library of resources on the NAR and related movements and organizations. Sandy does a fantastic job of describing in just an hour a movement that really needs many hours to really understand properly. It is my hope that this episode will inspire people to dig deeper to learn more about the New Apostolic Reformation and the unbiblical practices that go on within the movement. Please check out the show notes and visit the additional resources section. The New Apostolic Reformation is a dangerous movement that is carrying many Christians away from orthodox, Biblical practices. This episode is available to stream or download here.
Listen! Episode 55: November 2012, Sandy Simpson: The New Apostolic Reformation - Part 2
"Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are kravenous wolves." - Matthew 7:15 A year ago, for the November 2011 episode, I interviewed Sandy Simpson on the New Apostolic Reformation. Sandy heads up the Apologetics Coordination Team, and runs Deception in the Church, an extensive library of resources on the NAR and related movements and organizations. This episode is a follow-up to our previous discussion. We began with the assumption that those listening have heard the first discussion we had. If you haven't, that episode can be found here. We answer some questions people had from that episode, get into some further examination of the New Apostolic Reformation, and try to keep from repeating what was already covered as much as possible.

4/16/24 - Four Tales of the supernatural from William Branham (DVD) by Mike Oppenheimer, 4/16/24
This DVD covers 4 supernatural events that shaped William Branham’s life. He had many counterfeit supernatural experiences such as a cross of light saving him in his shed, but there are 4 specific events that shaped his ministry which he is famous for: 1. His birth: where a circular halo came into his room at dawn, at his birth. 2. His Commission to be Elijah: when baptizing a bright light suddenly appeared over his head and he heard a voice speak, “As John the Baptist was sent to forerun the first coming of Jesus Christ, so are you sent to forerun His second coming!” 3. Years later he claimed he was visited by The Angel of the Lord who came to commissioned him his gift: a man came out of a light telling him “As the prophet Moses was given two gifts, signs to vindicate his ministry, so will you be given two.” 4. His revelation to be the 7th angel of the church. His teaching on 7 messengers to the 7 ages in church history. 7 angels came to him and had him open the 7 seals. Everyone of these stories has flaws and questionable and contradictory biblical correlations, these are all refuted. This Video takes you through by PP and audio quotes showing what Branham actually taught on these matters. This should take away anyone's doubt that Branham was a false teacher of the Word.

Jesus Revolution (Movie) by Greg Laurie - Reviewed by The Dissenter - You’ve probably heard of the recently released Jesus Revolution movie that’s based on Greg Laurie’s book by the same name. The movie is being promoted by several high-profile Evangelicals including former Southern Baptist president, James Merritt and former U.S. Vice President, Mike Pence. The movie is based on the life of Harvest Christian Fellowship pastor, Greg Laurie, and features several well-known actors including Kelsey Grammer, who plays Chuck Smith, Jonathan Roumie, who plays the part of Christian hippie, Lonnie Frisbee, and Joel Courtney, who plays Greg Laurie himself as they take part in the California “Jesus Movement” of the 60s. But as with anything that claims to be Christian, it must be looked at with deep scrutiny to see if it actually is. Greg Laurie has been a prominent figure in Christendom for quite some time. Many have touted him as being the next Billy Graham. In the likeness of Billy Graham’s crusades, Laurie has invested endless efforts in his Harvest Crusades since the early 1990s, reaching audiences in the hundreds of thousands at every event. Laurie’s popular style of watered-down preaching and making the adulterated Word of God more palatable to the world has helped his empire grow tremendously, and transform Laurie into a celebrity. As with nearly all celebrity Christian luminaries, there comes a time when the message they deliver has become so devoid of any convicting biblical substance that nearly anyone, whether they profess Christ or not, will be lured in by their seductive charisma. Their following essentially becomes a cult of personality, and their notoriety gains them indiscriminate immunity from nearly all criticism.
Frisbee: The Life and Death of a Hippy Preacher (Movie) by David DiSabatino - Reviewed by Steve Mitchell - I would be somewhat shocked with what I saw when I ordered David DiSabatino’s Frisbee: The Life and Death of a Hippy Preacher. What follows is a look at the content of this documentary. All direct quotations are cited from the 60-minute film, the DVD “Special Features” section, or the website: http://lonniefrisbee.com/
Jesus Revolution (Movie) by Greg Laurie - Reviewed by Mike Oppenheimer (Read Part 1 & Part 2) - So how accurate is this movie? Who are the main character’s portrayed, did it take place as the movie depicts? This question should be asked Are they even moderately as accurate as the reality of the events that took place, or are they more as the movie depicts them to be? After a time of research into the events being depicted in the movie, along with ourselves having been in ministry with Calvary Chapel for many years, we would say that the names of the people are correct, and that the Jesus Movement did take place, but it is disturbing to see such a great amount of details have been almost entirely changed and replaced in the film. So many details have been changed that it becomes uncomfortable to watch and difficult to understand that this movie was produced by Christians that are supposed to tell the truth. Artistic license which is how Hollywood rolls, but to say that the movie is based on true events, to change things so much, and to paint such a completely different account of history is another rendition of reality.
Jesus
Revolution (Movie) by Greg Laurie - Reviewed by Mark
Ellis, God Reports - “Connie Frisbee’s Surprising Reaction to
‘Jesus Revolution’ Movie” by Mark Ellis, God Reports, 4/5/23
As Lonnie Frisbee’s former wife, she is perhaps the greatest
authority about Lonnie’s life and his central role as the
“hippie preacher” of the Jesus movement. An actress portraying
Connie appears in Jesus Revolution, but inexplicably, the
filmmakers failed to contact Connie or consult her about the
movie. They thought she was dead, or so they explained to her
in an apologetic Zoom call a few weeks ago. . .“I have to say
it broke me,” she told God Reports. “For two days, I couldn’t
stop crying. I couldn’t believe that as a Christian, you [the
film makers] couldn’t reach out to me, you couldn’t reach out
and find out. You couldn’t let me know that you were going to
put a facsimile of me in a movie.” When she went to see the
movie, it provoked a strong reaction. “I can tell you that
that 90% of the movie isn’t true,” Connie maintains. “The
truth is that dealing with people is very messy. And they want
to make it very tidy. They’ve tidied it all up so much that it
just stinks to high heaven to me —and whitewashed it. That’s
not how it was.”
Jesus Revolution (Movie) by Greg Laurie - Reviewed by Marsha West, 4/18/23 - For Pete’s sake. Lonnie Frisbee indulged in drugs and homosexuality much of his life – he died of AIDS. This will undoubtedly ruffle some feathers, but here goes. All that I’ve learned about Lonnie’s lifestyle causes me to wonder if he was truly saved. Some people who knew him believe he repented of the lifelong sins of drugs and sodomy, while others say he remained unrepentant. My question is, did he repent of false teaching before he died? No one seems to know the answer.
After
Death (Movie) by Angel Studios - Reviewed by
Marcia Montenegro – Midwest Christian Outreach, 11/29/23 - “This
is tricky territory. The invisible and the unknown are
realms governed by God alone, and these accounts are those
on which the occult, the New Age, and false teachings
thrive. There is no clear evidence for any out-of-body state
and certainly none for having visited heaven (the books on
visiting heaven have anti-Christian theology, conflict with
God’s word, and/or present inconsistent accounts)” One of
our readers recently sent me a link to the newly released
film from Angel Studios titled “After Death.” This is a film
featuring those who claim to have had near-death experiences
and gone to heaven or hell and, of course, returned (or we
would not have heard these stories). One trailer is at After
Death.1 The film is one of the most recent promotions of
what might be called the Heavenly Tourism Industry.
Mere Christendom by Doug Wilson - Reviewed by Gary Gilley - I view Mere Christendom primarily as the random rants of a frustrated man who is thoroughly confused about the kingdom of God, the mission of the church, and even the essence of biblical Christianity. He has tied his hope to postmillennial theology in which he expects evangelism and revival to usher in the kingdom before Christ returns. And since all of this may not take place for thousands of years of “bumpity-bumpity,” he is reduced to frustration, name calling, and ridiculous proposals. This book will do little more than fuel anger against government, rally Wilson’s fan club to his cause, and distract God’s people from their true purpose as found in Scripture, which is to call people to Christ, proclaim the gospel, and disciple the saints. Mere Christendom is a prime example of what happens when we go astray on one vital doctrine (in this case eschatology) and how it leads to catastrophic error in living.

3/17/24 - Overlapping Narrative for a False Christ by Warren B. Smith, 3/17/24
The following is an extract from the 2023 Lighthouse Trails book written by seven LT authors, A New Narrative for a “New” World. This portion below is by former New Age follower, Warren B. Smith. While reading this, test yourself to see how many of these terms you recognize and how many you may have heard in a church or Christian setting.
4/9/24 - Warning: Jenny Allen’s “Gather 25″—Another Effort for “UNITY” Outside the Confines of Truth at Lighthouse Trails, 4/9/24
ecently, a Lighthouse Trails reader contacted us, concerned that his church is going to be using a book by IF:Gathering founder Jenny Allen. Lighthouse Trails posted a number of articles about IF: Gathering in the past because of its strong emergent influences. Today, Jenny Allen is still involved in bringing dangerous teachings to the church.
4/15/24 - Remembering Ray Yungen and Richard Foster’s “School” of Contemplative Prayer at Lighthouse Trails, 4/15/24
Nearly eight years ago researcher Ray Yungen passed away at the age of 64. As regular Lighthouse Trails readers know, it was through Ray’s work that Lighthouse Trails began 22 years ago. Since Ray’s passing, Richard Foster’s contemplative prayer has infiltrated countless numbers of churches throughout North America. It is the late Dallas Willard who was the man who initially influenced Foster toward the contemplative path. We consider these two men (Willard and Foster) the leading pioneers in bringing contemplative spirituality into the evangelical church (something that has had devastating results). We estimate that, to one degree or another, almost every church in North America has been affected by contemplative spirituality (i.e., Spiritual Formation). If that sounds like an exaggeration, consider this as one way this happened: In Rick Warren’s book The Purpose Driven Church (his first book which has sold over 1 million copies), Warren identified Willard and Foster as the two key players in the Spiritual Formation (i.e., contemplative prayer) movement (p. 126). Later in his book The Purpose Driven Life (which has sold over 32 million copies and been used by over 400,000 pastors), Warren encouraged the use of contemplative breath prayers (p. 115) and “practicing the presence” (via Brother Lawrence) (pp. 114-116). Between the two books, tens of millions of Christians and hundreds of thousands of pastors have been introduced to contemplative spirituality.
3/9/24 - Who Are The Apostates by Mike Ratliff, 3/9/24
3 Beloved, while I was making every effort to write you about our common salvation, I felt the necessity to write to you exhorting that you contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all handed down to the saints. 4 For certain persons have crept in unnoticed, those who were long beforehand marked out for this condemnation, ungodly persons who turn the grace of our God into sensuality and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ. Jude 1:3-4 (LSB) Carefully read the passage above my brethren. The writer of the Epistle of Jude is the brother of James, the well-known leader of the Jerusalem church (Acts 12:17; 15:13; 21;18; Galatians 2:9) and, therefore, the half-brother of our Lord Jesus Christ.
3/11/24 - Letter to the Editor: Churchless in the Church at Lighthouse Trails, 3/11/24
We’ve already read through a quarter of the Lighthouse Trails Research Journal (the Spring 2024 issue) received recently and, as always, appreciate the time, effort, and resources invested to produce these. We enjoyed reading about the trial effort to bring Christian widows and widowers together; that’s great. Becky knows that experience well. As our age-group rapidly passes on, we believe this will become increasingly important, and we wish them great success. There’s another group in a similar situation. A while back, I sent either links or material to those who, in increasing numbers, find themselves in churches where they are no longer welcome, be they founding or sustaining members, or new arrivals seeking a place to worship and share with likeminded believers. Some stories detail how people were actually booted out of churches they helped start and financially support. Many, like us, had horrible experiences and had no choice but to leave. In this and earlier LT Journal issues, there are stories and letters from people who find themselves in similar situations; in our case, it’s been decades, but here we are! In my mind, I think it’s important that folks reading LT materials (be it Journal, booklet, or other) understand that they are not alone and that in a growing number of cases, it’s not the fault of the departing believer but the pastor and church. Just because someone is churchless doesn’t mean it’s their fault; yet we’ve heard countless preachers issue stern mandates that Christians absolutely must be churched. We thank the Lord regularly for our both having obtained a solid foundation in God’s Word at Bible school and are also grateful for bringing Becky and me together in unusual circumstances; but almost every married couple’s meeting-story is unusual! It’s literally just the two of us and the Lord. We have the idea that we’re a rather rare situation and that most other people have more, if not much more, social exposure than we do, but that assumption could be wrong.
3/1/24 - The
Ever-Increasing Seduction Of False Teachers In Our Postmodern
Fallen World by The Dissenter, 3/1/24
This moral compromise does not merely lead individuals
astray—it erodes the very foundations of the church, remaking it
from a guardian of light and truth in a dark world into a mirror
of the world’s own quagmire of sin and despair. The call to
holiness, a defining mark of the Christian’s life, is
overshadowed by a pursuit of personal happiness and cultural
approval, betraying the gospel and the One who called us to
follow Him, no matter the cost.” In the verdant beauty of Eden,
where humanity first walked with God, the serpent’s whisper,
“Did God really say…?” marked the inception of humanity’s tragic
fall. This ancient deception mirrors a modern crisis, as the
world, and the vast majority of the professing Church, reels
under the seduction of false teachers.
3/5/24 - Popular Social Media False Teacher Twists The Parable Of The Good Samaritan To Re-Interpret The Gospel by The Dissenter, 3/5/24 - “As the Bride of Christ, we are called to guard the truth with a holy fervor, proclaiming the undiluted Gospel with the unshakeable conviction that comes from knowing it is the very power of God unto salvation. It is only through the unaltered Gospel that we can truly know the fullness of mercy that leads to eternal life.” Self-styled theologians, always cloaked in a facade of benevolence, are purveying a gospel that is a rude departure from the sound, uncompromising truths of Scripture. They twist the words of the Bible to advance a secular agenda, often under the guise of social justice, repackaging the gospel to suit modern sensibilities and political correctness.

“When asked about the cost and how the He Gets Us Campaign only
focuses on the humanity of Christ and nothing else, Stetzer
explains that the campaign is “pre-evangelism.” He emphasizes

Super Bowl ads that essentially paint Christians as the bad
guys. The frivolity of this expenditure was made even more
devastating when a Christian YouTuber fixed the commercial they
ran to make a compelling gospel narrative where none could be
found in any of the He Gets Us commercials.

“The question that I continue to see popping up around the

last year when The Dissenter published an article denouncing the
deeply erotic and nearly pornographic nature in which a TGC

Gospel Coalition Publishes A False, Christless Gospel Using
Only Taylor Swift Lyrics by The Dissenter, 3/16/24
In a bizarre modern trend, Evangelicals have taken a peculiar
fascination with pop idols, Taylor Swift being the most recent
glaring example. Whether it be Christianity Today’s assertion
that Taylor Swift “brings Christians together,” churches finding
pop stars like these more attractive than Jesus, or even the
Museum of the Bible promoting her at their events, this
bewildering obsession marks an extreme departure from the
Church’s mission and calling. Elevating such pop idols to a
platform that rivals, in many cases, even Jesus Himself not only
dilutes but perverts essence of Christianity but ventures into
the extremely bizarre, attempting to marry the sacred with the
profane in a union that seems more suited for tabloid
sensationalism than theological reflection.

Not only does this man think highly and very presumptuous of
himself…”When I got up…the heavens opened,” and “I got up to
speak,” and “I took authority.” Not only are these claims just
absurdly stupid, there’s absolutely no mention of God or Christ.
The Bible tells us that in the last days, deception will not
just be a part-time job for the adversary but more like a
booming industry, with falsehoods so tailor-made they’d give
bespoke tailoring a run for its money….
4/8/24 - The
Prophets ‘prophesy’ or ‘prophelie’: The blabber mouth prophets
of our day by Mike Oppenheimer, 4/8/24
These so called prophets of the modern day prophetic movement
are everywhere, aggressively visiting churches. On you tube and
have their websites telling you what the Lord said day after
day, week after week. There is an invasion of new false prophets
promoting the Latter Rain teachings within the church. A false
end times view that is disarming the church for what is soon to
take place. The more menacing the world gets, the more the
governments are aggressive on its citizens, the more of a
reaction we hear from the false prophets, as their dreams and
visions become intensified. There is no topic that these
prophets do not speak of. God is speaking clearly concerning ‘a
new season’ through their dreams or their visions. Using their
own imagination, and flawed beliefs of the Bible they claim God
is telling them what will happen each year, in the year 2023, in
the year 2024 ad nuseum. They deliver the prophetic word for the
US and for other nations each new year. A now word, or fresh
(rhema) word, that describes what God is doing. He is doing
this, and he is doing that! Is he doing any of this? When past
statements are examined we see their failures mount up more than
their accuracies. And, it is acceptable for a prophet to be
wrong, extremely wrong, fully wrong. Except now when you are
wrong you are considered right! Light is traded for darkness and
darkness is now light.

“Simply stated, he is taking a celestial event that occurs after

this event. This retroactive interpretation is deceptive
revisionism at its worst. John Hagee and Mark Biltz [who is
Hebrew Roots] are the two who have most popularized this false
prophetic interpretation.” The Solar Eclipse of April 8, 2023
brought out the crazies, with Troy Brewster being the most
notable amongst them in declaring the eclipse to be passing over
seven different Nineveh’s and a warning sign from God. Brewster
would also call the eclipse the Sign of Jonah, which is an
obvious false description. Because this eclipse passed over
America, the homegrown craziness was abundant. And Troy Brewster
is not the only one.

including insinuations that Donald Trump is mentioned in the

about the dangerous teachings of Jonathan Cahn, who positions
himself as a modern-day prophet and decoder of biblical
mysteries. Despite numerous bold predictions about economic
collapses and national disasters, Cahn has yet to provide a
prophecy that has come true, demonstrating the falsehood of his

likes of Steven Furtick and Mike Todd (pastor of
Transformational Church) were given the pulpit. I
have loved my church and the good I thought it was doing.
But my pastor came out of a very liberal denomination and went
to a very liberal seminary. What could I expect? I
wrote the staff who are responsible for the content and authors
of the YouVersion Bible app. They just said that the
YouVersion Bible app was downloaded around the world in many
different cultures and they looked at devotionals with “A broad
Christian lens.” Probably means as long as they are called
Christian, then it’s OK. I looked up the YouVersion Bible
app on your site and didn’t see anything on it. Not much on
Life.church or our pastor either. Maybe it’s time to put
some focus on this widely downloaded app for its devotional
heresies and false teachers.

3/15/24 - The sons of
thunder prophecy by Mike Oppenheimer, 3/15/24
In 1989 a pastor from a Vineyard church had a several dreams
which made him became famous. At the same time Benny Hinn was
rising as a key figure in the charismatic crusades and was soon
to bring Rodney Howard Browne to the forefront of the church in
America that would begin the Latter Rain revivalism that is with
us today. This is what is called ‘a perfect storm.’ The man that
had the dream was James Ryle and he became a partner with Bill
McCarthy in Promise Keepers. Ryle pastored the Boulder Valley
Vineyard in Colorado, and he ministered with John Wimber and
Paul Cain. Clearly he was influenced by their Latter Rain
teaching that PEAKED in the latter 80’s with the Kansas city
prophets incorporated into Wimber’s Vineyard churches. When Ryle
was asked whether Promise Keepers could be fulfilling the
prophecy in Joel of raising an army that original came from Paul
Cain (a Branham disciple). Ryle's reply was, " Yes, 300, 000 men
have come together so far this year under Promise Keepers...
Never in history have 300, 000 men come together except to go to
war.”These men are gathered for war, and war it was, WAR on the
word of God, Dreams versus the Word. Read Part

The Jesus 24 Conference is hosted by Jesus Image, a ministry run

son-in-law. While it makes sense that Hinn, Chan, Caine and
Johnson would join forces, being linked by low discernment and a

“Cindy Jacobs is a respected prophet who travels the world
ministering not only to crowds of people, but to heads of
nations. Perhaps her greatest ministry is to world influencers
who seek her prophetic advice.” Prophetic advice? Advice is a
description based on an opinion, God does not have opinions but

Winding Down, Coming To A Close, According To Leaked Recording

“It is essential to recognize the dangers of these
hyper-charismatic movements and our legitimization of them
through the use of their music, joining with them in
conferences, and anything else. It is a fierce warning about the
dangers of hyper-charismatic movements that prioritize emotional
experience over sound doctrine and accountability. It also
reminds us of the resilience of truth and the discerning power
of genuine Christianity that upholds Scripture over human
leadership.” Despite what Mike Bickle claims, IHOPKC was never a
move of God or a work of the Holy Spirit, rather, it was a
carefully orchestrated façade, which quickly became a cult, that
has finally crumbled under the weight of its own leadership
scandals. According to a leaked recording by IHOP University
president, Matt Candler (not to be confused with Matt Chandler
of Acts 29), the closure will be a gradual movement as they
begin to “wind things down.”

to the Editor: I Was in a Dark and Dangerous Spiritual
Deception at Lighthouse Trails, 3/3/24
Dear Lighthouse Trails: Thank you for your article on testing
the spirits. I have neglected to test the spirits. Here is a
short summary of what happened to me, which is actually a huge
story coming out of lies into Truth in the past almost five
years. In short: I used to be a Clinical Psychologist. I had a
humanistic view and understanding of life, quite liberal and
“politically correct” with that “good person” kind of idea. I
also went into New Age, eastern ideas, esoteric, although I grew
up in a traditional Protestant church. I always had a need for
more knowledge, about what is going on in the world and also my
own life. I was quite a conscientious child and person, and I
remember people (some family or friends/others) would remark to
me that I am too uptight and need to lighten up a bit).

regarding the Lord’s eternal promises to the Jewish people and
have long ago left the original doctrinal veracity of the
Apostolic age. In upcoming portions of this series, the more
famous Church fathers who expounded on Justin’s Replacement
theology, will be discussed, including Tertullian, Chrysostom,
Augustin, Origen and Constantine, all of this leading to today’s

If it is possible to watch a society — an entire civilization —

all forms of media, the headlines bring fresh evidence daily.
Western civilization — that aggregation of cultural, political,

European societies and those of their current and former
colonies and territories — is committing suicide, using every

Religion Losing Influence in Public Life? by Pew
Research Group, 3/26/24
A recent Pew survey was released which found that 80% of US
adults say religion’s role in American life is shrinking, up
from 74% in 2022. While there was some good news, most of it was
bad news, showing that we live in a “religious sentimental”
culture that has no interest in the things of God. The survey
was conducted from February 13–25, 2024, among a US
representative population sample of 12,693 US adults.
3/27/24 - It
Needs To Stop by Rob Pue – News With Views, 3/27/24
The indoctrination and grooming of our children by demonic,
perverted public school officials, teachers and school board
members is staggering. It’s one thing if you’re an adult
and want to act out sexual deviancy in your own life. But
as the LGBTQP+ crowd has told us, they’re now coming for our
kids, and they’re not ashamed to admit it. Parents who
object are labeled “domestic terrorists.” As a kid,
I attended a public school in a small, rural town in the 1970s
and early ‘80s. Even though it was a small public school,
as I look back today, I can see we were — even then — being
indoctrinated with a “globalist” agenda.

Women’s Conference Speaker Appears In Promo Video With
Transgenders Promoting LGBTQ Ideology In The Church by
The Dissenter, 3/28/24
“This represents the usual attempt to downplay the sinfulness of
same-sex marriage by redefining it as a Christian ordinance
rather than a Creation ordinance. It suggests that God’s
teachings on marriage are only applicable within the realm of
Christianity.” Rachel Gilson, a self-described same-sex
attracted woman who spoke at the Southern Baptist Convention’s
women’s conference in 2023 has now appeared in a promo video
released by Preston Sprinkle’s Center for Faith, Sexuality, and
Gender.
4/1/24 - Take
the Test: Are You a New Ager? by Mike Oppenheimer,
4/1/24
This may seem like an inconsequential question, even a silly
question to ask, but many people may not know how involved they
are in the New Age movement that has permeated our society. In
other words, do you believe or practice what is taught in the
New Age movement without knowing it? Here are some questions to
ask yourself.
4/2/24 - Joe
Biden Declares Easter Sunday ‘Transgender Day Of Visibility’
by Bradley Jaye – Breitbart, 4/2/24
“In June 2023, the White House held an event for “LGBTQI+
families,” during which transgender activist Rose Montoya and
other transgender activists flashed their bare chests. The White
House has even pushed transgenderism on children.” President Joe
Biden’s White House has declared the holiest of Christian
holidays “Transgender Day of Visibility,” announcing that
“transgender Americans are part of the fabric of our nation.
4/3/24 - Are
You Ready For A Major Jihad Attack In The U.S.? Because It’s
Coming by Robert Spencer – PJ Media, 4/3/24
What’s coming is as plain as day. Our nation can hardly be said
to have a southern border at all anymore. Even if the border
were magically to reappear tomorrow, millions of people are
already in the country without anyone knowing who or what they
are. One hundred sixty-nine people on the FBI’s terror watch
list were caught at the border in 2023; nobody knows how many
people on that watch list got across the nonexistent border
without being caught.
4/4/24 - “The
Whiteness of Wokeness” by Wilfred Reilly (Prager
University), 4/4/24
LTRP Note: The following is posted for informational and
research purposes. Lighthouse Trails’ own response to “wokeness”
including Critical Race Theory, can be found in a number of our
articles. One is our 2020 report titled “Critical Race Theory,
Southern Baptist Convention, and a Marxist “Solution” That Will
Not Work.” How do you explain this? Most people agitating for
radical social change on behalf of people of color are not
themselves people of color. They are overwhelmingly woke, white
leftists. They use the genuine plight of poor minorities as a
wedge, a lever by which to change the basic character of
American society—a change that most people of color do not want.
Both anecdotal evidence and hard data bear this out. A good
example is the woke left’s obsession with politically correct
speech. Ostensibly, this is all in the service of protecting the
tender feelings of long-suffering minorities. Click here

4/5/24 - Estimate:
Christian Religious Leaders To Embezzle $86 Billion In 2024
by Barry Bowen – Trinity Foundation, 4/5/24
The January issue of the International Bulletin of Mission
Research (IBMR) reports that Christian religious leaders are
estimated to embezzle $86 billion in 2024. The disturbing
statistic, which is easy to overlook, appears in Table 5 of the
article “World Christianity 2024: Fragmentation and Unity” under
the description “Ecclesiastical Crime.” This estimate was
compiled by data scientists Dr. Gina Zurlo, Dr. Todd Johnson,
and Peter Crossing at the Center for the Study of Global
Christianity (CSGC) at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary.
4/20/24 - UN
Report Calls For Legalizing Sex Between Adults And Children
by Micaiah Bilger – Life News, 4/20/24
“The report calls for sex between adults and minors to be
decriminalized, so long as the minors ‘consent’ … Minors, of
course, cannot truly consent to sex with an adult — something
these so-called experts should know.” A disturbing new report
from the United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) adds to
growing concerns about global leaders pushing to normalize
pedophilia. The report “The 8 March Principles for a Human
Rights-Based Approach to Criminal Law Proscribing Conduct
Associated with Sex, Reproduction, Drug Use, HIV, Homelessness
and Poverty” on the UNAIDS website offers legal guidance on
issues related to sex, including involving children under age
18.
4/21/24 - ‘The
Chosen’ Director Dallas Jenkins Baits Christians By Again
Featuring LGBTQ Flag In New Vid by Protestia, 4/21/24
‘The Chosen’ Director Dallas Jenkins continues to tweak and
antagonize Christians purposefully. When he’s not insisting that
he loves the same Jesus that his Mormon friends do,
demonstrating again and again his false understanding of Jesus
and the gospel, he’s posting videos of his crew members wearing
the LGBTQ flag. We’ve written about Jenkins and his abject
biblical ignorance in the past with our posts about his belief
that Mormons are Christians (see endnotes), but also the
controversy that surrounded his gay cameraman Daniel Fritz
wearing the Pride flag in behind-the-scenes videos.
4/22/24 - “Landmark
Study Reveals ‘Transgender’ Kids Actually Have Other Mental
Health Diagnoses Instead” by Sarah Parshall Perry,
Commentary from The Epoch Times, 4/22/24
The second week of April was a red-letter week for destroying
the gender narrative. And the trans juggernaut just hit another
speed bump. Fresh off the heels of the National Association of
Intercollegiate Athletics announcing that it would not allow
transgender-identified men to compete in women’s athletic events
in any of its association’s 239 small private schools, a
landmark study was released on April 10 that defies the
hysterical warning that if gender dysphoric adolescents don’t
receive “gender-affirming care,” they will kill themselves. The
new study, from British pediatrician Dr. Hilary Cass, confirms
what we’ve always known: Children presenting with sudden onset
gender dysphoria are actually suffering from other mental health
diagnoses—not true gender dysphoria. Her research debunks the
gender ideologues’ frequent talking point: that the imposition
of medical “gender-affirming care” on mentally ill children is
not only necessary but lifesaving.
3/4/24 -
Refuting the claims of The ARAMAIC A primacy (the Pershitta)
by Mike Oppenheimer, 3/4/24
The earliest versions of the New Testament in Aramaic
(Peshitta) date to the 4th-5th century, Not before. The Aramaic
excludes the second Letter of Peter, the second and third
Letters of John, the Letter of Jude, and the Revelation of
Christ to John. Which makes it problematic in two specific
areas, the date of writing and the crucial content that is
missing for anyone to claim this is the original language the
Bible was written in.
3/14/24 - What
Every Christian Must Know About The Future by Gary E.
Gilley, Pastor/Teacher Southern View Chapel, 3/14/24
In addition, churches, and many Christians, have relegated
eschatology (the doctrine about the end times) to a second or
third-order doctrine, which they have decided is not important
and only divides Christians. It has become easier to ignore the
subject than to debate it. Few churches’ or missions’ doctrinal
statements now include a position on views about the end times,
although most agree that Jesus is coming back, and Christians
will spend eternity with Him. One more thing has undermined the
doctrine of end times, and that was the overemphasis on the
return of Christ, especially by the date-setters. Popular
authors and preachers began promising the Lord would return by
such-and-such date, and after a while, people simply burned out
on the whole subject and lost interest. Chuck Smith predicted
Christ’s return by 1981; Hal Lindsay, Edgar Whisenant, John
Hagee, and numerous others set similar dates. But regardless of
the abuse, the Bible spends a great deal of time talking about
the future, and for us to simply ignore what the Bible teaches
about any subject is not an option God’s people can take. The
future, if the Bible has anything to say about it, does
matter. What does every person, including every Christian,
need to know about the future? The answer to this question is
especially relevant in an age of great turmoil and uncertainty.
We will pinpoint several things about the future that God would
have us know.
3/21/24 - Logos
Gone Woke: The Bible Software’s Heavy Emphasis On Liberal
Material by Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web, 3/21/24
A few weeks ago, it became evident that Logos Software, a
widely used sermon preparation resource, was selling erotica on
its website. Their website sells over 100000 books, so this was
framed as an oversight between them and the publishers that they
work with. Evidently, the response from Logos has been
underwhelming in the last few weeks as Protestia did a recent
follow-up that pointed out how many of the estimated 4000 erotic
books have not actually been pulled from the site. However,
there is a more glaring issue with Logos, and it is their heavy
emphasis on books written by theological liberals.
3/29/24 - How
Much Does the Gospel Weigh? by David Dombrowski,
3/29/24
The Gospel is a standard and the central theme of the entire
Bible. We can think of it like a balancing scale, weighing truth
against error. But how much does the Gospel weigh? That might
sound like a foolish question, but let’s take a moment to see
how a balancing scale works. Basically, it is an arm extending
from both sides with a fulcrum in the middle. A standardized
weight is then placed on one side, and subsequently everything
placed on the other arm of the scale will be measured and valued
by that standardized weight. A false scale, as Proverbs states,
uses a deceptive weight purported to be a standardized weight
when it really is not. Consequently, everything weighed on that
scale for the next five, ten, or a thousand years will have an
erroneous result. A false scale just keeps on lying because the
standard is wrong. If we are going to use the Gospel as a
standardized weight, knowing how much the Gospel weighs might be
worth pondering. The prophet Zechariah gives us a clue.
3/31/24 - Resurrection!
by Harry Ironside, 3/31/24
He preached unto them Jesus, and the resurrection . . . And the
times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all
men everywhere to repent: because he hath appointed a day, in
the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man
whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all
men, in that he hath raised him from the dead. (Acts 17:18,
30-31) Apart from the great fact of the resurrection of our Lord
Jesus Christ from the dead, we would have no Gospel to preach.
By “resurrection,” we do not mean that our Lord’s spirit
continued to live after His body died but that He was actually
raised from the dead by the glory of the Father and came forth
from the tomb in the very same body that had been impaled on
Calvary’s cross. In that body, now glorified, He sits at God’s
right hand, and in that same body, He is coming again as the
Judge of both living and dead—the saved and lost. This is what
is emphasized for us in the seventeenth chapter of the Acts of
the apostles.
4/7/24 - The
sun will be darkened- the coming Eclipse of 2024 by
Mike Oppenheimer, 4/7/24
Total solar eclipses occur throughout the world approximately
once every 1-2 years, partial solar eclipses several times per
year. Consider this just may be an eclipse and nothing more.
Calculating the timing by Scripture and messages from natures
signs, using kabbalistic numerological methods of
interpretation, referring to astrology, spiritualizing meanings
are not what we are to do. What about the Word God has given us?
This sign does not confirm the Word, they are making the Word
confirm the sign.
4/17/24 - A
darkness that is coming by Mike Oppenheimer, 4/17/24
In plague number nine, Darkness came over the land of Egypt as
one of the last judgments (Exod. 10:21-29). It was a darkness so
intense it could be felt, it produced a dread in the hearts of
the Egyptians. This darkness must have had a tremendous
emotional and psychological impact on the nation as it
illustrated their spiritual condition. God’s divine judgment was
upon Egypt at the same time Israel had light showing God’s
grace. For three days the Egyptians and the Israelites were
confined to their homes. For the Egyptians, their homes were
darkened that they didn’t get up, but for the Israelites, there
was light in their homes (10:22-23).For Pharaoh it was a
competition of whose God or gods is greater. This plague of
darkness struck hard at the Egyptian deities: aimed at one of
the chief deities, the sun god Ra, of whom Pharaoh was a
representation, being the incarnation of Horus Ra’s son. Ra was
responsible for providing sunlight, warmth, and productivity and
protect them from darkness. Other gods, (including Horus), were
associated with the sun winged God. Nut, the goddess of the sky,
would have been humiliated by this plague. Atum their god of the
setting sun, Harakhte the Sun God, Khephre the moon god, Thoth a
Moon God. Shu the Sky God. There are number of ways darkness is
used in scripture both metaphorically and literally.

4/12/24 - Joseph
Prince Performs Epic Scripture Twisting To Say That Praying
In Tongues Heals Our Bodies Of Diseases by The
Dissenter, 4/12/24
“Here we are, having to address the claim that muttering and
babbling in unknown gibberish is somehow the biblical
equivalent of a health supplement.” In the world of extreme
charismaticism where the “Health and Wealth gospel” reigns
supreme, and where spectacle trumps scripture, notorious false
teacher and charismatic self-appointed NAR “apostle,” Joseph
Prince, claims that speaking and praying in tongues heals our
bodies from diseases and infirmities. In an epic Scripture
twist, he points at 1 Corinthians 14:4 to claim that this
spectacle is akin to a divine healthcare plan.
Important! "His
Name,
the only Name" by Sandy Simpson, 9/5/14
Zechariah 14:9 "The LORD will be king over the whole earth. On
that day there will be one LORD, and his name the only name."
What are the implications of this prophecy in Zechariah?
(1) That before the return of Christ there have always been many
"gods" worshipped in many names. (2) That the saints who
return with Christ (Zechariah 14:5), those who were Raptured,
are the ones who had already believed in the name of the Lord
Jesus Christ. Those remaining are forced to acknowledge
that there is "no other name under heaven given to mankind by
which we must be saved" because they were left behind in the
Rapture and survived the Tribulation.
UPDATED! Questions
For
Those Who Claim The "Supreme Beings" Of The Nations Are The
True God by Sandy Simpson, 3/17/15
I have some questions for those of the World Christian
Gathering of Indigenous People (WCGIP) adherents such as Don
Richardson, Daniel Kikawa, Richard Twiss (deceased), Terry
LeBlanc, Danny Lehman, Aloha Ke Akua, YWAM as well as many in
the Emergent Church (EC) ... the questions arise from their
claim that the "supreme beings" of the nations are all the True
God, YHWH, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. You can
read more on this subject in our book "Idolatry
In
Their Hearts" or in the WCGIP
section of my site.

of these authors are teaching, both explicitly and implicitly,
the core doctrines of the Faith. They are all good
resources for information on what is happening in the churches
