The Present Obsession With the Anti-Christ

[islandboy]

It is no small wonder that people are obsessed with the Anti-Christ, with the new church movements that are designed to led the faithful away with great signs and mystical happenings and eastern religion concepts that many see as a fresh new way to Christ. With the war, and all the political agendas pushing fear of this and that, many people see this as the time of or for the Anti-Christ. And although we can not deny or confirm this, we as Christians must stand firm with the teachings of the Bible, and not let our guard down. Pay attention to what is going on in your church so you will be able to recognize the changes that effect God's people and protect yourself and others from them.

[Maryjane]

The "New Age" movement has lead many astray...It is so easy to say.."I am a christian" many believe they are out of good works..out of the religion they believe in...but when it comes down to it...it "Do you know the Lord..Does He know you...will the Lord say..I never knew you?..This is why Jesus Christ is taken out of everything..it is because of unbelief and unbelief is in the church today...church services with rituals that are void of the Holy Spirit and these churches do not know for they have let sin become comfortable and have preached what man wants to hear...A feel good about yourself gospel...People that do not know the word, but the teachings of man...who when they are told of sin, christians are sued by the very ones who call theselves christians...If there is anything we can do...is to stay in the word..and to "apply it"...the Spirit moves on the word and it is the light to our path...for it is the word of God that is true and exact and will come to pass..through His word we are lead to safety for it gives clear direction..."Do not let your hearts be troubled...trust in God..trust also in me

AMEN!

Brothers and Sisters, we need to strengthen each other and ourselves in GOD'S WORD.

Now more than ever, we should know that our fight IS NOT just against flesh and blood. The powers of darkness are running rampant, and the devil is springing up false religions and false teaching everywhere. This is a confusing time for the lost and the Babes in CHRIST.

The devil is deceiving and snaring hosts. Part of the devil's tricks involve tickling the ears and involving the vanity of man. Mankind doesn't want to hear about sin and the wages of sin. Instead, mankind wants to hear a feel-good gospel. At the same time, real Christians are being demonized  for telling the lost about sin and punishment. The fastest growing so-called religions ARE NOT Christianity.

As Christians, we are being told that mankind is smarter now, so they are too intelligent to believe a 2,000 year old message. Real Christians are criticized for not changing with the times and modernizing our message. Real Christians are even being told that they are cruel and insensitive for hurting the feelings of people. This is why new versions of the BIBLE without sin and without the things that hurt the feelings of people are being developed. After all, they wouldn't want the BIBLE to hurt anyone's feelings or convict them of sin - RIGHT? Much of mankind wants a feel good in the dark and in the bottom of a pit type gospel. They might even call themselves Christians, and they will be loved by the world.

Brothers and Sisters, we shouldn't have any desire to be popular and loved by the world. Just the opposite, we are called to NOT be conformed to this world. Telling the lost about sin, punishment, JESUS CHRIST, the CROSS, and rescue from the curse of sin and death is one of the most loving things we can do as Christians. If the world hates us for telling the TRUTH of JESUS in LOVE - GOOD! If we are hated and persecuted for trying to point the lost to JESUS, so be it. Let's get about our LORD and MASTER'S Business, Trust HIM, Love HIM, and yield to HIM. Let's pray, pray some more, and let HIM be in charge of our path. HIS WILL BE DONE!

Love In Christ,
Tom
