Discernment Tools!

This DVD is a message based on this article.
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.

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".

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.

of the New Apostolic Reformation
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
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.

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".

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.

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
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
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 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.

I pray for the young people in that church that they will come to know Jesus Christ as their Savior and thus come to know the true Holy Spirit.

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. Read the book and get to know this wonderful woman. Review by Richard D. Shewman on Amazon.

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

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".

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

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
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
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.

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.

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.

I pray for the young people in that church that they will come to know Jesus Christ as their Savior and thus come to know the true Holy Spirit.

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

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".

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.

Bad seeds from a bad tree yield bad fruit.

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.

bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.

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!

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
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
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
This DVD is a message based on this article.
The new Universalists are not as vocal about their Universalism ideas but are far more deadly to the Church as they are not rejected like classic Universalists were decades ago. 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"
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
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.

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
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
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.
The reason I wrote this article based on Zech 14:9 is that I was reminded of how many so-called Christians, who are influential in the churches, are promoting the worship of God in the names of other gods.

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"?

The First Nations Movement
Deceiving The Nations!
4-DVD Series
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.

Testing Music In The Church
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on these articles: Testing
Music
In The Church, Testing
Music
In The Church-Part 2, and Worship
Song
Ratings.
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

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.

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.

New Sandy Simpson Messages
in Books, CDs & DVDs
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?
Only $10. plus s/h. for US.

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.
Only $10. plus s/h. for US.

INSTANT DOWNLOAD FEATURE!
I have had a number of my books available for download in
e-book format for a few years. I now have a number of my
DVD videos available for instant download via PayLoadz.
To see which ones we have available you will find the following
symbol next that item on the main pages of this site as well as
on the item order page:
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
video. The audio MP3s are priced at $3. each.
New Method of Delivery!
You can now order our DVDs and CDs on flash drives!
I am in the process of adding that feature to all the product
pages, but in the meantime you can simply add a note to your
PayPal order if you want what you ordered on a flash drive
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
flash drive is that I can put the HD version on a flash
drive! This will help those with the new computers that
come without DVD drives. If you want me combine more than
one DVD on one flash drive, you will still have to pay what you
would pay for each DVD.

Listen! Episode 43 - November 2011, Sandy Simpson: The New Apostolic Reformation
"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.

I did enough research to discover that the production is an ecumenical venture to include: an evangelical producer, Mormon supporters, and funding through different faiths and backgrounds. This was the information I needed to make a decision. Consequently, based on 2 Corinthians 6:14-17, I cannot encourage others to watch The Chosen.
12/25/21 - Beth
Moore is finally "home" by Elizabeth Prata, The End
Time, 12/25/21
I am not remarking on a liturgical service or anything about
Anglicanism. I am saying that Beth Moore’s departure from the
SBC to a place where her heart’s desire has always been to
serve in a place the Bible forbids has finally been satisfied.
She is finally “home”. Recently Beth Moore departed Lifeway,
renounced being a Baptist, and loudly left the Southern
Baptist Convention. In June she declared on her Twitter that
she had found a “small liturgical church” in her area. Beth
has been mightily enjoying this small, liturgical church. It
is an Anglican church. Anglican, not Episcopalian.
"But from what I can gather through the law, and my understanding, it qualifies as a parsonage just like the little house next to the church would." In a 2015 sermon, Copeland said God told him to build the 18,000-square-foot house for his wife, Gloria, the Chronicle reported. "It is part of your prosperity," he said God told him. To qualify for the exemption, parsonages can be only 1 acre — which this one technically is. The property exists on its own plot that fulfills the 1-acre limit, but Copeland purchased 24 acres more of lakefront tract surrounding the property, the Chronicle reported.

12/21/21 - Hillsong Christmas Special Features Scantily-Clad Teen Girls Dancing And Writhing Around Provocatively at CRN, 12/21/21
“…the mega entertainment corporation pretending to be a church once again featured scantily-clad women dancing and writhing around on stage in a sexually provocative manner.” Hillsong is known for its lavish luxury carnal mindset and its music productions rival anything from Hollywood or Broadway. It’s a prosperity cult that masquerades as a church but attracts the world instead of Christians.
1/4/22 - The Renewal with commentary by Herescope, 1/4/22
"'The Renewal' aims to restore America's covenant with God: 'The greatest harvest in the history of the world'" Yet another “covenant” event based this time on the “Mayflower Compact”. Yet another Jonathan Cahn stardom opportunity. Mike Lindell was touting this last night on his Frank Speech platform with Brannon Howse (who knows better). The entire voter-f-r-a-u-d- thing is being tied up with this kookiness, which is quite sad to see. In the interview with Jessip the eschatology is once again recognizably Latter Rain American “covenant” theology with the typical misapplication of Scripture. Based on this report. https://www.christianpost.com/news/the-renewal-aims-to-restore-americas-covenant-with-god.html
1/11/22 - Fraud Faith-Healer, Todd White, On Three Month Bedrest For Serious Heart Condition at CRN, 1/11/22
“White’s understanding of spiritual things is infantile at best. But in reality, the things he preaches are sometimes so outlandish that nobody should take them seriously. Last week, we reported that Todd White blasphemed Jesus by misrepresenting the doctrine of imputation and said that Jesus became the substance of such sins as “child pornography” on the cross.” False teacher and fraudulent “faith-healer,” Todd White, announced that he has been placed on medical rest for three months due to a serious heart condition that has left him unable to exercise or even preach at his previously scheduled preaching events.
1/19/22 - Jesus set aside divinity, empty of divine capacity (Bill Johnson sermon) by John Lanagan, 1/19/22
This is a video of the Alabaster House of Bethel Church of Redding, California. According to the Bethel Redding website it is a place to “be in contemplative prayer and enjoy God’s presence.” You are listening to the voice of Bill Johnson from a sermon given some years ago, and Johnson is poisoning his flock with the heretical doctrine of kenosis. He wants them to believe that Jesus gave up his divinity and performed miracles etc. solely via the power of the Holy Spirit. This is false. This is not what Philippians 2:7 means at all.

Ortlund Wants To Make Sure You Don’t Reject Hillsong Music
Just Because It Sounds Happy at CRN, 12/10/21
“I’m sure Mr. Ortlund means well with this
statement, but he obviously didn’t think this
through. Nobody–literally nobody–actually rejects
Hillsong because of this reason.” Hillsong music has
been soundly rejected by many top theologians
including John MacArthur, Justin Peters, and many
others on the basis that the music itself lacks not
only theological substance, but that by purchasing
or playing this music can only be translated into a
support for the aberrant Hillsong prosperity gospel
movement.
12/26/21 - A
New World Order for a World Empire by Prof. Johan
Malan, University of the North, South Africa, 12/26/21
It is not be the first time in history that powerful global
structures are created, thereby allowing a world dictator to
control all nations, exploit them economically and subject them
to domination by a false world religion. Various world
governments in ancient times, of which the Babylonian, Greek and
Roman empires were the best known, established structures of
this nature. All these empires utterly oppressed the nations
under their control and eventually all collapsed. That will also
be the fate of the end-time empire of the Antichrist, which is
already taking shape as the new world order. To understand what
the new world order is, from a biblical point of view, one only
needs to read about the seven year reign of the Antichrist in
Revelation and Daniel. From these prophecies it is clear that
end-time globalism manifests in three different areas, i.e. in
the political, religious and economic areas. The process of
transformation leading to the full unfolding of the new world
order moves through the following three phases towards its final
objective...
1/7/22 - The
“Great Reset”? Or the GREAT Reset! by L.B.S., 1/7/22
By now many of us have heard of the “the Great Reset” that the
globalists intend to impose on the citizens of earth, where they
say, “You will own nothing, and you will be happy.” I
contend that it a proposition that is based on the assumption
that the populace will consent to their positive sounding
hypnotic rhetoric. Without God’s direction and protection, we
would be herded into a corral, alternately goaded by hype from
media puppets on mainstream media and contrasting dire
conspiracy theorists and grave warnings from covert backstreet
alarmists (even if those conspiracies have some truth), and I am
not talking about true watchmen that, through all this, point
the hearts of men toward God. The confusing and often opposing
messaging serves to keep the masses in a strange state of
flux. The mandates and laws seem to change from day to
day. The political, medical, and media mouthpieces say one thing
on one day only to deny it on another day. The end goal is to
gain the collective resignation that our futures are somehow
solely in the hands of some mysterious global elites, the ones
who think they know best; the ones who think they hold our
destiny in their hands. But it is all a distraction, and it does
not matter if it is perhaps partly true or partly false. God has
other plans!

12/6/21 - Illinois’
Esther Joy King After ‘Wild Wild West’ Afghanistan Rescue
Effort: I Know People Who Are Still In Kabul by Ashley
Oliver, Breitbart, 12/6/21
During the withdrawal, King said she “was part of the Wild Wild
West civilian effort” and that she “got 51 young girls from
[her] parents’ high school out of Kabul.” She added that she had
a “front row seat to the horrors” that took place in
Afghanistan, like “young 15-year-old girls being beat up by the
Taliban because our State Department outsourced visa checks to
Taliban hooligans right in front of the airport.” An Illinois

12/7/21 - Manning Johnson – 1958: The Communist Plot to Exploit Blacks at Lighthouse Trails, 12/7/21 - LTRP Note: The following is an extract from Manning Johnson’s 1958 book, Color, Communism, and Common Sense, which Lighthouse Trails reprinted a special edition in 2021. As LT author Roger Oakland has often said, history repeats itself, and we can see that from today’s events. Lighthouse Trails stands against any form of racism because we know that God loves all people and tells us to love all people, and the color of one’s skin should make no difference in how we are to treat others and regard them. That said, Manning Johnson uncovered the exploitation of black people by those who pretended to care about them. That was over 60 years ago, but we see the same thing happening today.

Where
are we herded to? (…if we do not change direction)
by Mike Oppenheimer, 12/12/21 - Now
that numerous goals of certain leaders have become publicly
known, people can see how we are being reshaped and where our
country (and the world) is herded to. We are being treated as
sheeple by the state. There is far less restraint on evil these
days, as the government allows lawlessness to thrive, just like
the Bible said it would be in the end. The socialist
progressives (neo communists) circumvent the Constitution so
there is no law in the land, they choose what to obey or
enforce.

Decreasing As More U.S. Adults Not Affiliated With Any
Religion, Study Shows by Marisa Dellatto, Forbes,
12/15/21
The amount of people in the U.S. who identify as Christian
has decreased in the last 10 years, as the amount of people
who are unaffiliated with any religion has increased by
nearly the same amount, according to data released Tuesday
by Pew Research Center. Shontae Scott of Atlanta clutches

of the funeral of Coretta Scott King at the Samson's Health
and Fitness Center next to the New Birth Missionary Baptist

study, 75% of Americans identified as Christian in 2011—in
2021, that number shrunk to 63%, a 12% decrease. Ten years
ago, roughly 18% of Americans were not affiliated with any
religion, identifying as agnostic, atheist or “nothing in
particular”—that number grew to 29% in 2021, an 11%
increase. Protestants experienced the largest decrease:
While 51% of U.S. adults identified with the Christian
denomination in 2011, only 40% did in 2021, an 11% drop. The
amount of U.S. adults who identified as Orthodox Christians
(1%) or members of the Church Of the Latter-Day Saints (2%)
stayed the same throughout the decade, and people who
identified as Catholic shrunk just 3%, from 24% in 2011 to
21% in 2021. The study also found that 41% of U.S. adults
said religion was “very important” in their lives, compared
to 33% who said it was not important and 25% who said it was
somewhat important.

Successfully Taken Christ Out Of Christmas And Replaced
Him With Gay Pride at CRN, 12/16/21
Christmas is a Christian holiday, no matter how you look at
it. Spare me the arguments that it has Pagan origins and
actually borrows from other festivals and was only later
Christianized as a holiday. Let’s just be real; without
Christ, there never would have been a Christmas. There never
would have been an advent. There never would have been a
reason to celebrate the birth of the savior of the world–the
greatest gift to mankind from God the world has ever seen.
Christmas is about Christ.

- The
Trend Toward Normalizing Pedophilia Must Be Halted
by Jennifer Bauwens, FRC, 12/17/21
“What we’ve learned is that unbridled curiosity has mostly
remained unchecked in the ivory tower, and some scientists
are exploring lines of inquiry about children that should
remain unthinkable.” Americans are awakening to the call to
protect children from being sexualized. Following the
national news coverage of local school board meetings in
Virginia, many U.S. citizens are shocked to learn that
today’s elementary school lessons include material that
would make most adults blush.

Enforcers (Part 5 of Fake Prophets) by Sarah
Leslie, 12/20/21
As I write this, our country is reeling from a pandemic,
violence, fraud, and propaganda. Divisions run deep. Cities
are engulfed in flames. Vitriolic accusations are hurled
from citizen to fellow citizen, neighbor to neighbor. Anger,
hatred, rage, and violence seem to reign in many people's
hearts. In a time of siege--like the one we find ourselves
in now--we would do well to allow the Holy Spirit to get
between us and everything we are watching. We need to listen
as He gently encourages us.

Gospel Coalition Publishes Christmas Advent Song Featuring
Transgender Artwork at CRN, 12/30/21
“…take a look at what is behind them while they sing. The
artwork is by Zach Oren, who describes himself as a “cis
queer male,” who has done several pro-LGBTQ paintings
depicting men in dresses…and other various forms of sexual
perversion.” The Gospel Coalition, which is well-known for
abandoning the actual gospel in favor of the social gospel,
a heresy known as Rauschenbuschism, recently published their
Best Movies of 2021. The list, which is their recommendation
for entertainment to families and children, featured a
number of R-rated movies for sexually explicit content,
children smoking pot, and some pro-abortion talk.
12/31/21 - How acceptable is the Occult in American society? by Sandy Simpson, 12/31/21 - In the latest AARP Magazine of December 2021/January 2022 they ran a “Special Report” called “Your Dream Retirement” byRhonda Kaysen. The page is called “Live by your own rules” with a byline that reads “These creative and ofteninnovative housing approaches show that anything goes in the pursuit of your best life”. A number of 55+ villages are featured. I was frankly appalled to read about one in our area called Adawehi Wellness Village located in Columbus,North Carolina.

Videos About Transgenderism Dominate Platform With 26 Billion
Views by Tré Goins-Phillips – Faithwire, 1/1/22
…TikTok is “hugely influential and it’s full of videos that
portray medical transition as cool and edgy.” There is no
shortage of pro-LGBTQ content on the video sharing app TikTok.
An analysis by the Daily Mail found TikTok videos including the
hashtag #Trans have garnered more than 26 billion views, the
outlet reported, many of the clips featuring footage captured by
young people playfully documenting their transitions from one
sexual identity to the other, often undergoing hormone
treatments to block or halt puberty, or recovering from
body-modifying surgeries to appear more like the opposite sex.
1/3/22 - The
Gospel Coalition’s ‘Best Movies Of 2021’ Include Abortion And
Sex Propaganda, Children Smoking Pot, And R-Rated Blasphemy
at CRN, 1/3/22
“Apparently, we have to turn to the foul-mouthed graphic
sex-filled pagan entertainment industry to get our theology.” It
should go without saying that The Gospel Coalition (TGC) has
absolutely nothing to do with the gospel or any other biblical
teaching or exhortation. The Gospel Coalition is nothing more
than an outlet for the carnal consumption of worldly influence
into the Church by compromised Evangelicals who are bound
together by their propensity toward embracing the culture. It
is, in fact, The Gospel-less Coalition.

Of Ravi Zacharias Uses Old Image Of Disgraced Apologist To

Some people question the appropriateness of the post, especially

Allegations of sexual misconduct began surfacing against
televangelist Perry Stone last year. His Cleveland,
Tennessee-based ministry, Voice of Evangelism, announced in July
that he had taken a leave of absence after admitting that he had
acted inappropriately with female employees. “I confess at times
I’ve been inappropriate in all this weariness of just non-stop
ministry,” Stone said in the message. “I let my guard down and
I’ve asked, of course, God to forgive me for that."

Fake
Propheets by Sarah Leslie, 1/8/22
Christians tend to think of FALSE prophets in terms of
purveyors of heretical religious doctrine within the Church
only. We also recognize false prophets in cults, the occult and
the New Age Movement. But for the past half century we have also
witnessed the rise of false prophets coming from seemingly
secular paradigms in society such as Progressivism, Humanism,
and Postmodernism. But these worldviews come with their own
belief systems, codes of ethics, and behavioral norms. In other
words, these ungodly systems promote a DIFFERENT spirituality
based on FALSE theses which are not biblical Truth. In our
lifetimes we have watched as advocates of these worldviews use
their platforms of influence to proselytize their dogma. Read

1/9/22 - The
current climate of hating life in the womb by Mike
Oppenheimer, 1/9/22
If Jesus were born today would Mary be shamed into having an
abortion? If her friends were like those today she would have a
lot of social pressure to comply with the current consensus of
the culture, the spirit of the age. We live in a time when
certain people are wanting to see population control implemented
by whatever means available. They see this as a necessity to
curb the overuse of land and to have sufficient food. They use
this argument for their unholy actions. More often called by its
scientific title of an embryo or fetus they avoid the
identification term of child, baby or human. They change the
wording to purposely hide the actual activity of life to soften
the impact. Ending a life by calling it Health Care is probably
the most obvious and insidious way to obfuscate the meaning.

Still Peddling False Teachers Including ‘Gay Christianity’
Revoice Resources at CRN, 1/14/22
Check out some of the books LifeWay is peddling to Christian
consumers, books that are chock-full of heresy and steeped in
the world of the occult. The books are written by false
teachers, a.k.a. wolves in sheep’s clothing. Six years ago, a
small but growing discernment blog broke the story that Alex
Malarkey–also known as The Boy Who Came Back From Heaven—had
recanted his story and said that he made it all up. The blog,
Pulpit & Pen, was at the time run by Southern Baptists who
were heavily involved in Southern Baptist life.

Platt Is Setting His Church Up For A Huge Fall, Get Out…Now!
at CRN, 1/15/22
“As soon as it became culturally acceptable and normal to
embrace same-sex attraction, these compromised Evangelicals
began to embrace it. You can rest assured that as soon as the
culture embraces pedophilia, these churches engrossed in this
movement will too.” It pains me to have to even write this as
David Platt was one of the first Bible teachers that helped me
understand good, biblical doctrine. I was a fan of the early
Secret Church services before Platt left Brook Hills Church in
Alabama to become the leader of the Southern Baptist
Convention’s (SBC) International Missions Board (IMB).

Keller Promotes ‘Biblical Critical Theory’ by Ray Fava
– Evangelical Dark Web, 1/16/22
Tim Keller is renown for having a rather cryptic social media
presence. In an instance of not speaking in riddles, Tim Keller
came out and promoted Chris Watkin’s lecture on “developing a
biblical critical theory.” The most obvious critique is that
putting the word “biblical” in front of something that is not
biblical is oxymoronic. However, Chris Watkins redefines
Critical Theory in a long rambling lecture as Third Wayism.
Third Wayism is an attack on objectivity, most specifically the
objective line between good and evil.

Post, explaining how Critical Race Theory is incompatible with

Rightly Handling The Word
12/3/21 - When
did the church begin? by Mike Oppenheimer, 12/3/21
First we need to understand the Holy Spirit living in believers
is what the church is. There was no Church in the Old testament
(there was an assembly of the Jews) before Jesus time nor during
Jesus’ time until he went away, ascending, after he made the new
covenant. The church is made of both Jews and Gentles. Gentiles
do not become Jews but spiritual Gentiles. The Church of God
Jesus had purchased with his own blood (Acts 20:28), which means
he had to die first. After Christ raised from the dead and
ascended he sent the Holy Spirit to birth a new entity, the
church. The Greek word is ekklesia (which is used 114 times in
the New Testament) which means a called out assembly (Ek = out
of, Kaleo= to call). It is never used of a building, or of the
kingdom of God. The Church is not the kingdom, but included in
it. The Church is an invisible living spiritual organism,
composed of all the believers worldwide, from the time of its
inception on Pentecost, until it is taken away at the rapture.
The church did not begin in the middle of Acts, neither in Acts
9 or Acts 13. It began in at the feast of Pentecost with the
Holy Spirit sent, as Jesus said I will build my church. On the
feast of Pentecost as they were baptized in the Spirit and Gods
glory was seen above their heads for the first time on people
temporarily showing what is taking place.
12/11/21 - What
Is The Offense Of The Cross? by Mike Ratliff, 12/11/21
30 What shall we say then? That Gentiles, who did not pursue
righteousness, attained righteousness, even the righteousness
which is by faith; 31 but Israel, pursuing a law of
righteousness, did not arrive at that law. 32 Why? Because they
did not pursue it by faith, but as though it were by works. They
stumbled over the stumbling stone, 33 just as it is
written,“BEHOLD, I LAY IN ZION A STONE OF STUMBLING AND A ROCK
OF OFFENSE, AND HE WHO BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT BE
DISAPPOINTED.” Romans 9:30-33 (NASB) The Gospel of our Lord
Jesus Christ must always be offensive to the unregenerate. It is
that offense that makes it clear to people that they have
nothing with which to bargain with God.
12/13/21 - Do
we have a sin nature or NOT? by Mike Oppenheimer,
12/13/21
Some doctrinal positions that have been taken in the church just
do not need to be debated or questioned if one would look at the
Scripture and use Bible logic. If one is born without a sin
nature then they are sinless, then Christ is not the only one
born without sin. Why would he need to be brought into the world
by a virgin conceiving him by the Holy Spirit. In fact all this
becomes meaningless when one takes this position that sin was
not passed down from Adam. But the Bible explicitly says 1 Cor.
15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be
made alive. “And Paul explains the wages of sin is death, thus
we are sinful and are severed from a relationship with God the
creator; and the only way to change this is to believe in Christ
to have this severed relationship reversed. We can choose not to
sin in a very strong exercise of our will and go against our
nature, but we will choose to sin more often (like gravity)
because we have a sin nature. This does not exclude that we can
make right decisions but without God we naturally make wrong
decisions. And God’s instructions from his Word one is our
standard, one cannot know what to choose what is good or right
without knowing it (Rom.5:12 the law). One does not become a
sinner because they have sinned, they sin because they are a
sinner.
12/18/21 - When
the Unthinkable Happens By Maria Kneas (an excerpt
from Maria’s book, Strength For Tough Times), 12/18/21
God promised to make everything work out for our good if we love
Him (Romans 8:28). When the pain and the tears come, will we
trust God to bring good out of our situation? We can ask God to
increase our trust in Him and our love for Him. We can ask Him
to make us faithful. We can ask Him to enable us to stand with
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego—to be determined to be faithful
to our God no matter what happens to us and the people we love.
The LORD God is my strength, and he will make my feet like
hinds’ feet. (Habakkuk 3:19)
12/23/21 - The
Gospel: The Balancing “Tool” for Discernment by David
Dombrowski, 12/23/21
From the onset of Lighthouse Trails in 2002, we have always
endeavored to be connected with the body of believers scattered
throughout the world who are very concerned, as we are, with the
state of the church today. Many of our readers have told us they
feel very alone and even ostracized in witnessing the apostasy
in the churches today prior to their finding our website and
realizing there were other Christians who saw what they did. We
know firsthand how it feels to be labeled troublemakers for
having legitimate concerns about what is happening in the church
today. We too have felt disillusioned as we have witnessed a
gradual departure in the churches from the Word of God. Pulpits
throughout the land, many of which formerly proclaimed the
biblical Gospel of God’s saving grace through the sacrifice on
the Cross now espouse an assortment of pseudo-gospel,
pop-psychology, seeker-friendly, Purpose-Driven, Calvinistic,
progressive, New Age, mystical/contemplative spirituality that
may be chicken soup for the soul but what God calls an
abomination (Deuteronomy 18:10-12). It is no wonder that God, in
referring to the lukewarm, warns that He is ready to “spew thee”
out of His mouth” (Revelation 3:16). How much better it would
have been if churches and their pastors had stuck with John
3:16!
12/24/21 - I
Will Strengthen Thee by Mike Ratliff, 12/24/21
10 ‘Do not fear, for I am with you; Do not anxiously look about
you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will
help you, Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right
hand.’ Isaiah 41:10 (NASB) I saw a Christian encouragement meme
a few days ago that went something like this, “When you see a
Christian who is at peace in the midst of chaos what you are
witnessing is a mature believer who has been through the fire
and has learned where their strength comes from and in whom to
trust.”
12/27/21 - Do
Not Grow Weary by Mike Ratliff, 12/27/21
28 And we know that God causes all things to work together for
good to those who love God, to those who are called according to
His purpose. Romans 8:28 (NASB) When things appear dark and
perhaps the bottom just fell out of a major part of our lives,
we may fall into doubt about God’s sustaining grace. However,
God is faithful. He is also Sovereign and never taken by
surprise by the good and bad events in the lives of His people.
12/29/21 - Carry
the cross by Mike Oppenheimer, 12/29/21
The first man to walk with Jesus carrying his cross (literally)
was an African Jew who came do the feast of Passover when Jesus
was crucified. Simon of Cyrene is mentioned in three of the
Gospels, except John’s. Mark 15:16-23 after the soldiers brought
Jesus to Praetorium, they mocked him. They clothed Him with
purple; twisted a crown of thorns onto His head, and saluted
Him, "Hail, King of the Jews!" they struck Him on the head with
a reed and spat on Him; and bowing the knee, as if they
worshiped Him . After this humiliation they took the purple off
Him, put His own clothes on Him, and led Him out to crucify
Him.’ V.21 Then they compelled a certain man, Simon a Cyrenian,
the father of Alexander and Rufus, as he was coming out of the
country and passing by, to bear His cross. And they brought Him
to the place Golgotha, which is translated, Place of a Skull.” A
Roman guard would place their sword on one’s shoulder and expect
them to obey their command (Matthew 5:41). This is what they did
to Simon. Simon was not involved in the crowd gathering for his
sentence but on their way up the hill he was suddenly chosen for
this horrendous task of his demise by Rome. What was someone
doing In Jerusalem at this time from Africa? In all likelihood
he too was a Jew at the Passover celebration. Cyrene is a city
in North Africa, Libya where large number of Greek-speaking Jews
lived.

Archived Biblestudy To
Live Is Christ, To Die Is Gain! Phil. 1:20-30 by Sandy
Simpson, 1/2/22
How many believers can truthfully say that their whole reason
for living is Christ, and to die is gain? What I see
more often would be more like: for me to live is gain, and to
die is Christ. Do we truthfully live to serve Christ
instead of our own sinful appetites? Paul was
persecuted to the point where I am sure he would have preferred
to die on numerous occasions.

The
Battle for God by Gary Gilley, 1/10/22
While most conservative evangelicals were resting comfortably
in the Trinitarian understanding of the Godhead, as stated in
the Nicene Creed (AD 381), a storm was brewing on the
theological horizon of others. In just the last few years,
a major war over the very nature of God has erupted with the
potential of leaving in its wake much doctrinal and spiritual
damage. For this reason, I want to discuss this debate, not
necessarily with the hope of solving all the issues (after all,
some of the greatest theological minds within Christianity are
weighing in on this subject), but at least to bring some clarity
to the discussion and perhaps to map a way forward. With these
aspirations in mind, I will prepare three articles on the
subject. This first paper will lay the foundation by
addressing the origin of the debate, as well as the role that
complementarianism is playing, and documenting accusations that
have highly elevated the stakes. The second article identifies
several doctrinal issues that play dominant roles in the
discussion. Finally, the third paper addresses a few more
theological issues, especially the place that Scripture has, or
perhaps does not have, in the discussions. Read Part
1, Part
2 & Part
3.

Are
You In God’s Light Or The World’s Darkness? by Mike
Ratliff, 1/17/22
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and
the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All
things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing
came into being that has come into being. 4 In Him was life, and
the life was the Light of men. 5 The Light shines in the
darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. 6 There came a
man sent from God, whose name was John. 7 He came as a witness,
to testify about the Light, so that all might believe through
him. 8 He was not the Light, but he came to testify about the
Light. John 1:1-34 (NASB) Read verses 9-34 on the site. The New
Testament book of John is profound. The thirty-four opening
verses (above) set the stage for us by making sure we understand
whom Jesus Christ really is. Who is He? He is God! He is the
Word, the Logos, who preexisted creation.

Osteen is a controversial figure in the Christian world. His self-help Oprah-style prosperity-gospel religion is worthy of mockery and for the life of me I can’t figure out why he has so many followers. This guy does not need your money. Stop giving it to him. A Houston radio station broke some stunning news on Friday morning when a plumber called in to report that while doing some bathroom repair at Joel Osteen’s megachurch, Lakewood Church, he found around 500 envelopes stuffed with cash and checks in the wall behind the toilet.
Sun Myung Moon and his wife embraced the honorific titles of True Parents, True Father and True Mother. Sun Myung Moon told his followers, “True Parents existed spiritually, but we had to lay the foundation to become the physical True Parents.” On December 5th, televangelist Paula White spoke at a prayer rally in South Korea on behalf of Hak Ja Han (better known as Mrs. Moon or True Mother), the widow of Unification Church founder Sun Myung Moon.
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.
