(Excerpt From Culture Watch)

Not Quite Like Our Church Services Today.

Why is today’s church so far from what God expects of it?

 “The Church has surrendered her once lofty concept of God and has substituted for it one so low, so ignoble, as to be utterly unworthy of thinking, worshiping men. This she has not done deliberately, but little by little and without her knowledge; and her very unawareness only makes her situation all the more tragic. The low view of God entertained almost universally among Christians is the cause of a hundred lesser evils everywhere among us.”“The only power God recognizes in His church is the power of His Spirit; whereas the only power actually recognized today by the majority of evangelicals is the power of man. God does His work by the operation of the Spirit, while Christian leaders attempt to do theirs by the power of trained and devoted intellect. Bright personality has taken the place of the divine afflatus.”“If the Holy Spirit was withdrawn from the church today, 95 percent of what we do would go on and no one would know the difference. If the Holy Spirit had been withdrawn from the New Testament church, 95 percent of what they did would stop, and everybody would know the difference.”“It is now common practice in most evangelical churches to offer the people, especially the young people, a maximum of entertainment and a minimum of serious instruction. It is scarcely possible in most places to get anyone to attend a meeting where the only attraction is God. One can only conclude that God’s professed children are bored with Him, for they must be wooed to attend a meeting with a stick of striped candy in the form of religious movies, games and refreshments.”The church “appears to have decided that if she cannot conquer the great god Entertainment she may as well join forces with him and make what use she can of his powers. So today we have the astonishing spectacle of millions of dollars being poured into the unholy job of providing earthly entertainment for the so-called sons of heaven. Religious entertainment is in many places rapidly crowding out the serious things of God. Many churches these days have become little more than poor theatres where fifth-rate “producers” peddle their shoddy wares with the full approval of evangelical leaders who can even quote a holy text in defense of their delinquency. And hardly a man dares raise his voice against.”“Almost everything the Church is doing these days has been suggested to her by the world.””It is scarcely possible in most places to get anyone to attend a meeting where the only attraction is God.”If Tozer is correct – and I certainly believe that he is – then no wonder so much of the church today bears no resemblance whatsoever to what was found in the early church, or what was found when God appeared to ancient Israel in a cloud of glory. As I have said so often, the world is in a mess because the church is in a mess. We need to pray that God will convict us deeply, and once again allow the church to be a place that the whole world knows is different, is holy, and is filled with God and his glory.

YOUTUBE STRIKES AGAIN!

LINK TO JOHN MACARTHUR'S STATEMENT: 

 

YOUTUBE LABELS MACARTHUR’S SERMON ON BIBLICAL SEXUALITY “HATE SPEECH” (Friday Church News Notes, January 28, 2022, www.wayoflife.orgfbns@wayoflife.org, 866-295-4143) - The following is excerpted from “YouTube Declares,” Todd Cast, Jan. 19, 2022: “Pastor MacArthur delivered a message Sunday about Biblical sexuality--part of a nationwide campaign to draw attention to Canadian legislation that would silence pastors on LGBT issues. Five years in prison for pastors who preach against the LGBT agenda. So Pastor MacArthur encouraged pastors around the nation to stand in solidarity by preaching from their pulpits about biblical teachings regarding LGBT issues. ‘There is no such thing as transgender. You are either XX or XY, that’s it. God made man male and female. That is determined genetically, that is physiology, that is science, that is reality,’ MacArthur said from the pulpit. ‘This notion that you are something other than your biology is a cultural construct intended as an assault on God. The only way you can address it, honestly, is to say, God made you and God made you exactly the way He wanted you to be. You are not only fighting God in His physical creation, you are fighting God in His sovereignty. You are fighting God in His spiritual relationship to you,’ he explained. ‘This is a war on God.’ ... But YouTube removed the clip and sent me a message saying the pastor’s sermon was hate speech. ‘Our team has reviewed your content, and, unfortunately, we think it violates our hate speech policy,’ YouTube wrote to me. ‘We’ve removed the following content from YouTube: “There is no such thing as transgender. You are either XX or XY. That’s it. – Pastor John MacArthur.” In other words, YouTube affirmed the Canadian law by banning any opposition to transgenderism on their platform. ... Jenna Ellis, special counsel for the Thomas More Society Special Counsel that successfully represented Pastor MacArthur when Los Angeles ordered his church to shut down during the pandemic, said, ‘The big tech oligarchy in the United States is implementing the equivalent of Canada’s insane law by censoring truth and the right of pastors to teach the Bible,’ she told me. ‘If Americans don’t stop big tech, this new Regime will circumvent the Constitution to foreclose our fundamental rights to speak and exercise religion and the impact will be devastating.’

            HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY, 2022.

If you don't live here, (sad!) But here's a little song with graphics, to tell you something about our states.   

HERE: and Our Anthem HERE:

 

WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOING ON?

Psalm 2, tells us that the rulers of this world, rage against God, and The Lord Jesus Christ, the True King.

   

 PSALM 2.  

Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing,

The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying,

3

Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.

4

He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.

5

Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.

6

Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.

7

I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.

8

Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.

9

Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.

10

Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.

11

Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

12

Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

 

“We are skeptical of claims for the ability of random mutation and natural selection to account for the complexity of life. Careful examination of the evidence for Darwinian theory should be encouraged.”

 There Is Scientific

Dissent From Darwinism.

It deserves to be heard.

"We know intuitively that Darwinism can accomplish some things, but not others. The question is what is that boundary? Does the information content in living things exceed that boundary? Darwinists have never faced those questions. They've never asked scientifically, can random mutation and natural selection generate the information content in living things."

 THE OLD PATHS.

Jeremiah 6:

¹⁶ Thus saith the Lord, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.

SAMUEL RUTHERFORD, PURITAN PREACHER AND AUTHOR.

Samuel Rutherford and Resistance Theory. From CULTURE WATCH.

Rutherford and his Lex, Rex are still vital for today:

A hugely significant figure in what is known as resistance theory is Samuel Rutherford, the Scottish theologian, pastor and political theorist. Especially of significance is his major contribution to political philosophy, Lex, Rex. This brief article will look a bit further at the man and the book.

Timeline

1600 born in Roxburghshire
1617-1621 a student at Edinburgh University
1627 parish work in Anworth in Galloway
1636-1638 exiled to Aberdeen
1639 Professor of Divinity at St Mary’s College, St Andrews
1643-1647 a Commissioner from the Church of Scotland to the Westminster Assembly
1644 Lex, Rex published
1651 appointed Rector of the University of St Andrews
1661 dies

The Scottish Presbyterian pastor and writer is famous for many things, including his Letters. Spurgeon once said of them: “When we are dead and gone let the world know that Spurgeon held Rutherford’s Letters to be the nearest thing to inspiration which can be found in all the writings of mere men.” Indeed, there are tremendous devotional gems to be gleaned from them. Various volumes exist with some of these terrific quotes, including: MacLean, Malcolm, ed., The Fiery Edge of Love: A Collection of Quotes From Samuel Rutherford. Christian Heritage, 2021.
Wilson, Jim and Bessie, ed., The Loveliness of Christ: Selections from the Letters of Samuel Rutherford. Community Christian Ministries, 1909, 2018.

 (A Little Arrogant Jesuit Trained Man!)

 

 Anthony Fauci Caught On A Hot Mic Blaspheming God As He Used The Name Of The Lord As A Curse Word Aimed At Rand Paul And Others.

The moment came at the tail-end of a heated exchange in which the Kansas senator challenged Fauci to “submit to Congress and the public a financial disclosure that includes your past and current investments?” Fauci replied by simply saying that all anyone had to do was ask for them before saying “you are so misinformed.” And so the heated exchange went between the senator blaming Big Tech and Fauci insisting that he was “totally incorrect.” Moments after Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA) ended the kerfuffle and called for Senator Moran to follow, one can clearly hear the faint comment from Fauci saying "What a moron...Jesus Christ."

 

Fauci was joined by other Federal health experts and received a fair amount of hectoring from Republican senators, most notably Rand Paul and Marshall, who challenged Fauci on documents recently published by Project Veritas. Anthony Fauci grows more and more like his father the Devil with each passing day, but today he really “knocked it out of the park” when it comes to blaspheming the Name of the LORD. During a heated exchange with Rand Paul and others who are holding Fauci’s cloven-hoof feet to the fire, Fauci is caught on a hot mic calling Sen. Roger Marshall a ‘moron’ and then in the same breather spitting out the words ‘Jesus Christ’. Perhaps in these Bible-deficient days we live in, you might not think that is blaspheming God, but it absolutely is.

ARCH APOSTATE, DESMOND TUTU.

 

The Red Bishop

30 December 2021 Shaun Willcock

The Red Bishop Desmond Tutu, PDF format

Desmond Tutu, Anglican Arch-Heretic of the South African Communist Revolution

Anglican archbishop, Desmond Tutu – the “Red Bishop” as he was known – died on 26 December 2021.  Immediately, his praise singers leapt into action across the world, gushing about his “love”, his “compassion”, his “tolerance”, his “bravery” in opposing apartheid, what a great Christian he was, blah blah blah.  South Africa’s ruling party, the African National Congress, a pro-Communist party and one-time terrorist organisation, viewed Tutu as its very own high priest, giving religious sanction to its violent revolution and pro-Red policies whenever pseudo-“Christian” fake piety was necessary for convincing the masses that the ANC had the blessing of God.

The truth is that Tutu was the most influential ecclesiastical figure in the revolutionary assault on South Africa in the 1980s and early 1990s.  And there were plenty of others, so this was quite an achievement.

The Anglican institution has always been a religious daughter of the Mother of harlots, the Roman Catholic institution (Rev. 17:1-5).  It has never been a true Christian church.  It has always held to unbiblical doctrines and practices, and today it is a Bible-denying, Christ-denying, theologically ultra-liberal, pro-Communist religious mess, a disgraceful parody of a true Christian church.  Tutu, then, was not an aberration.  His denial of some of the great doctrines of the Bible simply aped what Anglican priests, bishops and archbishops believed and taught across the earth.  He was a theological liberal, a modernist, an ecumenical, an interfaith advocate, a Bible-denier, a Christ-denier.  And he was an out-and-out disciple of so-called “liberation theology”, or religious Communism, just as so many of his peers and his religious superiors were, and are.  In short, he was a heretic, not a true Christian at all.  He supported Communism, Communist terrorists, violent revolution – and all in the Name of Christ, whom he pretended to serve.  In reality he was a servant of Satan, not of Christ.

 

In New Year’s Day Message, Pope Francis Commands Roman Catholics To Place Themselves Under The ‘Protection Of Mary’ Who Is The ‘Mother Of God’

 

The BIBLE tells us that: 

Acts 4:12 ¹² Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

As this New Year begins under the sign of Mary, our Mother, whose gaze is "the path to rebirth and growth," the Pope encouraged everyone to make greater efforts to safeguard mothers and protect women, lamenting the terrible problem of violence again women today. "To hurt a woman is to insult God, who took on our humanity from a woman." The Pope prayed that, through Mary's maternal protection, she might help us all "to keep and ponder all things, unafraid of trials and with the joyful certainty that the Lord is faithful and can transform every cross into a resurrection." He encouraged everyone to call upon her as did the People of God at Ephesus, repeating three times her title: “Holy Mother of God, Holy Mother of God, Holy Mother of God!” If you are trusting in Mary, or any other human being for that matter, you will wind up disappointed 9 out of 10 times, such is human nature. BUT NOWHERE IN THE BIBLE IS ANYONE COMMANDED TO LOOK TO MARY, TRUST IN MARY, FLEE TO MARY, OR ANY OTHER PERSON, DEAD OR ALIVE!,The so-called ‘Hail Mary’ prayer is not scripture but a perversion of scripture to make Mary into someone she absolutely is not. Mary is never called ‘holy’, and she is never called the ‘mother of God’ If you are a woman and are looking for a good biblical role model, Mary is such a person. But if you think she can hear and answer your prayers, or is deserving of your worship that belongs to God alone, you have been deceived into committing idolatry.

 

 Instead of giving hope and encouragement to the American people, this is Biden's message!

A TRULY COGNITIVELY CHALLENGED ''LEADER!"

 

Revelation 22:12-13

¹² And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

¹³ I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.

In 2022, We Can Look Forward To More COVID Variants, Forced Vaccinations And Mandatory Immunity Passports In Joe Biden’s Dark Winter

Joe Biden concluded that there was “no federal solution” to the problem, and various spin doctors in the media urged Americans not to blame the president. But last year, on the campaign trail and as President-elect, Biden promised specifically and repeatedly that he would make sure the virus was under control. “For we will act, we will act on the first day of my presidency to get COVID under control. We’ll act to pass my economic plan that will finally reward work, not wealth in this country. We’ll act to pass my health care plan to provide affordable, accessible healthcare for every American, and drug prices that are dramatically lowered. We’ll act to pass the Biden climate plan, meeting the challenges of a climate crisis while creating millions of good paying, high paying, labor jobs. We’ll act to address systemic racism in our country, and we’ll act to give working people a fair shot again in this country. And we’ll act to restore our faith in democracy and our faith in one another.”

President Joe Biden left for vacation earlier this week as the U.S. recorded the highest daily number of new coronavirus cases since the start of the pandemic.

Welcome to 2022, the time of the ‘dark winter’ that the global elites have long promised was coming, and we rang it in last night with great global gusto. Omicron is raging around the world, and we are now just 9 days away from the enforcement of Biden’s vaccination mandates. Where is Joe Biden? On vacation walking on the beach and wearing a cloth mask.
