Download or read book Warning Confusion and Deception in the Church written by Terry Case and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2017-05-17 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gods Word has much to say to believers but will confound the unbelievers. Confusion has entered the church to deceive believers from Gods truth. The church is not the same when many preachers are proclaiming lies, which is false doctrine. Many denominations have caused this confusion to be sustained as truth through their people for many past generations. People think preachers only proclaim truth. When you tell a lie long enough, you believe it. Some denominations tell the world that Gods Word is full of errors and contradictions, which is what Satan wants to cause more deception. If you do what God wants, you will have peace with God. If you do less than what is expected, God will take your talent and give it to someone else. If you are available, God will meet you there. The Bible does command you to commit your way to the Lord and follow him.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Practical Strategies for Gospel-Centered Children's Ministry When building a children's ministry at a church, there is so much to consider: Which curriculum should we use? How many volunteers do we need? How do we keep parents in the loop? And that's before we run into stalled check-in computers, missing activity sheets, and floors that need to be vacuumed.

Writing from personal ministry experience, Jared Kennedy shares a four-fold approach for gospel-centered, missional children's ministry: hospitality, teaching, discipleship, and mission. This practical resource covers a variety of topics ranging from creating child protection policies to putting together lesson plans to catechism, helpful for children's ministers and volunteers alike as they disciple children with the powerful message of the gospel.

Download or read book Subtle Deception written by Lawrence Vanyi and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2005-08 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern misguided evangelical empire-building at the institutional church level has systematically for the most part, attempted to replace Christianity with its own brand of organized religion. This subtle deception has taken more than 1,700 years to develop and permeate society and typical Christian thought, but develop well it has. So well, in fact, that even some of the greatest ministry personalities of our time have made the mistake of thinking that Christianity and organized religion are one and the same.but they are not. What's wrong with organized religion you say? Did you suppose that's what Christianity was all about? Did you suppose that its church building origins are biblical? And what's the fuss anyway? Does it really matter if the Lord's people are more 'organizationally" or 'institutionally" minded than they are 'relationally" minded? The author's opinion is that Purpose dictates the correct usage of what God designs. If we want to correctly use something God has designed, we must first discover God's original intent and purpose behind the creation of His idea. This work deals with the financial 'skeletons in the Church's closet" and goes behind the scenes for God's design for the Body of Christ known as the 'Church."

Download or read book Meet It written by Rick Howard and published by Remnant Publications. This book was released on 2015-03-01 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well. Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the streets. Let them be only thine own, and not strangers' with thee. —Proverbs 5:15–17 Solomon’s divine counsel to the bride of Christ often goes unheeded in these last days of Earth’s history. Pastors and church members alike dip into the wells of the world and drink from the tainted source of those strangers to truth. Pastors turn and face the sun of Babylon when they attend learn at the feet of professors at schools like George Fox University that teach eastern mysticism, spiritual formation, contemplative prayer, Ignatian spirituality, which are all components of the emerging church movement. The prophet Isaiah had this word of caution found in chapter 8, verse 20: “To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.” Even though the Holy Writ makes this stern warning, it seems that Seventh-day Adventist pastors are converging on centers of learning that train these wayward descendents of the seed of Abraham. Then their unsuspecting flocks, which they are to protectively shepherd, fall prey to the wolf in sheep’s clothing because they learn the same error that their shepherd gleaned at the university. One of these pastors went so far as to put this erroneous, Jesuit-endorsed teaching in print to disperse it to a broader audience. He notes beginning on the first page of the first chapter of his book The Green Cord Dream that “the Advent movement was born in failure rather than success, error rather than truth, darkness rather than light, and sorrow rather than joy” (pages 11, 12). In this context the author does not give credence to the prophecy of the Great Disappointment on October 22, 1844, found in Revelation 10:9, 10: “I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey. And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.” When God’s prophecy is fulfilled, how is that failure? In addition to the issue of The Green Cord Dream, author Rick Howard brings information to light in this book Meet It about The One Project movement. He answers questions like: What is it? Where did it come from? Who is responsible for its creation? On the surface it looks promising, but when delving under the superficial outer layers, the powers of darkness are found lurking. At an October 2011 meeting of The One Project group, eleven authors were noted as being “the most helpful.” Yet, they all promote and support the emerging church, spiritual formation interests. They all endorse and advance mysticism and spiritism, and all of them are leaders and teachers of these principles that are designed to win souls to Romanism. Rick Howard’s Meet It indeed probes the subtle nuances of this issue of the Omega apostasy where much is to be found. Herein he picks up where his first volume, The Omega Rebellion, stopped and offers details that opens the eyes and ears of the elect who do not want this deception to enter any of the parameters of their lives.

Download or read book Many Will Be Deceived written by Russell Ian Jones and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2015-05-13 with total page 736 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jesus made clear statements within the gospels that leading up to His return many will be deceived by false teachers who will present a different gospel to which was given to the Early Church. In this book Russell gives a chronological historical view of the antichrist spirit that has obscured the original understanding of Scripture. The Ante-Nicene Fathers' writings of the first 300 years of Church history have been deliberately suppressed to bolster political factions within the Church; many of the answers to denominational theological questions can be resolved in the study of the Ante-Nicene Fathers and their connection to the Disciples of Christ. They would have dealings with the Gnostic plague that would infect all denominations of the Christian faith and other world religions, many of the issues the Church is facing today are warning signs that were talked about by Jesus and the Early Church.Subjects include: Satan's chronology of deception, Divine Kingship, Infiltration of Greek Philosophy, Gnosticism, Pseudo writers, False eschatologies, Replacement theology, Spiritual elitism, Church liberalism, Cultism, Darwinism, Communism, Nazism, Capitalism and the building of a Gnostic Social World Order. Russell Jones is a Biblical apologist, having served 5 years as the State Co-ordinator of 'Answers in Genesis' (now known as C.M.I. Creation Ministries International) in Perth, Western Australia. He has a strong interest in Science and history, especially the question to the why, how and where the origin of various beliefs come from and who's telling the truth? This has also led him to the question why the Church today is so divided when the Bible is supposed to be their authority and reference map to God's plan to restore His fallen creation. Russell has found that many of the answers to denominational differences can be found within the suppressed writings of the Ante-Nicene Fathers, who were the first Biblical apologists and defenders of Christ's teaching of the first three hundred years.
