The Coming Great Holocaust and the Roman Catholic Takeover of America

Proposed flag of 51 stars

Grace and peace. In our series, The Roman Catholic Takeover of America, based on information taken from the book, “Ravening Wolves,” by Monica Farrell, we explain how the Roman Catholic church is currently in Phase Three of its takeover of the United States of America.

Phase Three, “A Holy Warfare,” involves four steps:

1. The formation of an independent exclusively Roman Catholic state (Washington DC or “New Columbia”).

2. The formation of an exclusively Roman Catholic army (The UN “peacekeeping” forces, which includes our own military).

3. A declaration that only Roman Catholics may serve in government (This congress saw the admission of more Roman Catholics than at any time in our nation’s history: two-thirds of our Supreme Court are Roman Catholic, our President is a closet Roman Catholic, and our Vice-President and Secretary of State as well as other key officials are all Roman Catholic. Immigration reform is also part of the plan.).

4. CONFISCATION OF ALL WEAPONS (Columbine, Virginia Tech, Trayvon Martin, and Sandy Hook were all planned and designed to bring about this end).

The gospel tract “Holocaust,” available from Chick Publications, explains how WWII was actually a Roman Catholic Inquisition, and, in annihilating the Jews, Hitler was merely carrying out Vatican policy. [Click image for track.]

The same will happen in the United States as part of the Roman Catholic Takeover of America. After step four is accomplished, the Roman Catholic church will launch it’s final Holocaust to rid America and the world of all remaining “heretics” (Bible-believing Christians), Jews, Blacks, Eastern Orthodox, Patriots, and everyone else who won’t bow down to the Roman Catholic pope and his star goddess, The Virgin Mary, whom the Bible calls the Abomination of Desolation.

If you are noticing that the U.S. government seems to be growing increasingly antagonistic towards the Constitution and our freedoms, this is the reason. The Roman Catholic church hates our Constitution and is working feverishly to destroy it and our nation. Another Vatican Holocaust is in the making.

Folks, resist the urge to say that this is just more fear-mongering and close-mindedness by another Bible-thumping Christian. You must understand that the Jesuit-run Roman Catholic church is not only the enemy of Protestant Christianity, BUT OF ALL FREEDOMS. In “Ravening Wolves,” Monica Farrell quotes a high-ranking Roman Catholic source stating the Roman Catholic church’s belief that NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO BE ANYTHING OTHER THAN ROMAN CATHOLIC. If Hitler had been successful, everyone reading this would either be Roman Catholic or dead. If you are a Bible-believing Christian, or simply care about the freedom to decide what you want to wear today, YOU MUST DO SOMETHING.

“Holocaust” is currently out of print, but it is available from Chick Publications by custom order. If your church got together with the goal of getting this tract out to warn the people, the cost would be extremely reasonable. Depending on your situation, even individual Christians can custom order it. If, however, you are unwilling or unable to do that, you would be doing your part if you would at least share this post on Facebook and get the word out.

Believe me, there will be no fence-sitters when the Roman Catholic church takes over. You will be given two choices: worship the pope and the Virgin Mary or die. Whether you make a decision now or later, you will make a decision. Take a stand for freedom–now.

Be encouraged and look up, for your redemption draweth nigh.

He Said/She Said – February 17, 2014

“The whole problem with this Hollande scandal is that he is not married. Had he been married, this affair would never have been revealed.

In France, having a mistress is not considered cheating. We are not a puritanical country. France is Catholic. We accept sin and forgiveness.”

-French novelist, Jean-Marie Rouart, as quoted in a New York Times Op-Ed article dated February 15, 2014, concerning a scandal involving French President Francois Hollande and a purported mistress.

Stay Tuned

Grace and peace, Saints.

I had planned to put out a teaching and the accompanying podcast this past Monday, but as you can see, that hasn’t happened. Our newborn has been throwing our sleep cycles way off, as you can probably imagine. So, I haven’t finished it yet. The teaching actually turned out to be more involved than I imagined. I couldn’t believe how much the Spirit gave me to share with the body of Christ on this subject! One thing I can assure you is that it will be well worth the wait for those interested.

Please pray for me, Saints, because this is an important subject that those of the household of faith need to seriously consider, and I would like to get it out to you by Sunday latest.

Be encouraged and look up, for your redemption draweth nigh.

The Still Man

“So What Did You Dream Last Night?”

Grace and peace to the children of promise and to all those who have bought the lie.

I always admonish parents to keep the lines of communication open with their children at all times. We should always be talking to them and, most importantly, listening to them: feeling them out for signs of things that may be going on in their lives that they may be reluctant to tell us about or that they may not even know about or may be unable or unwilling to understand. In so doing, we enable ourselves to read between the lines and to see things that on the surface may appear insignificant, but may actually be a sign of a potential spiritual problem.

I have learned this lesson only in the last five or six years, after God alerted me to what Satan was doing to my family. Unfortunately, I wasn’t that diligent with my first three children, as I was an unrepentant sinner for most of their lives, and thought that all a father had to do was bring home the bacon and scratch his private parts. Thank God for the blood!

Satan is always hard at work looking for a doorway into our children’s lives that he can use to bring them under bondage. If your child is saved, Satan knows that he has lost the battle for that child’s soul. But he may still try to discourage the child and, if possible, to destroy his hope. Satan is subtle, clever, and very crafty, and he has many weapons in his arsenal by which he can come in under the radar of even the most diligent parent.

One way Satan accomplishes this is through our children’s dreams. There are many theories abroad as to the purpose of dreams. Some believe that dreams are a way that we process things that have happened during the day. Others believe that dreams are a window into the subconscious, and that it is through dreams that one’s fears and hopes are revealed. But I have come to understand that for the Christian–especially the Christian child–dreams are a spiritual battleground: for it is through dreams that Satan attacks our children, trying to instill doubt, fear, and uncertainty in their minds, in an attempt to derail their faith. Satan knows that in their sleep, children are particularly vulnerable to spiritual attack. It has therefore become my custom to discuss my children’s dreams with them to try and discern if Satan is attacking their dreams and, if so, what he is trying to accomplish.

I have found that the best time to talk to my children about their dreams is at the dinner table, when they are usually very chatty. It was actually my son who begun the tradition of recounting dreams at the dinner table. One day the family had just sat down to eat dinner. Immediately after saying grace, every head swung around and every eye but mine was glued to the television set. Not a word was spoken for about five minutes. During the three years that my family and I were separated, my children had grown accustomed to watching television while eating, as my wife has had this habit for many years. Now, I was faced with the sobering reality that the television set was like another member of the family: a surrogate father, who, during my absence, kept my children company and held everyone mesmerized with his captivating stories.

Grieved in my spirit, I grabbed the remote and shut off the television. I then explained that dinnertime should not only be a time to eat, but also a time for the family to sit together and talk and reconnect after having spent the better part of the day separated. There was about two minutes of silence while my wife and children tried to process what had just happened and figure out what to do next. Suddenly, my son, who loathes uncomfortable silences, looks at me and says, “So what did you dream last night?” So I told him.

What happened next was a first for our family: for each person in turn began to share not only what he had dreamed the night before, but any dreams that were especially troubling, puzzling, or interesting. It turned out they all had some pretty interesting dreams over the past few years that they simply had never thought to share with one another.

I learned a lot from those dreams. I learned, for instance, that, like me, they all had had dreams that ended with them falling from a very high place and waking just before hitting the ground. I learned that my son remembers even the most minute details of his dreams and retains those memories indefinitely, while my wife rarely remembers her dreams. I also realized that I was in a lot of my children’s dreams. For my part, I realized that it had been a long while since I last dreamed of my deceased father and brother.

It turned out that I learned more about my children from listening to their dreams than I had learned from any formal conversation with them to date.

Let me give you a practical example of the value of dreams and their role in spiritual warfare. When my wife and I were separated, I lived in the U.S. while she and the children lived in Germany. Now, Munich is a Roman Catholic city in a Roman Catholic country, and my wife is also a Roman Catholic, although she attends a “Protestant” church. So, to try and keep my children grounded in the truth, I would read the Bible with them over the telephone at least once a week, and I would try to give them a test over what we had read about once a month. It didn’t always work out, but we did our best to stay in the Word.

For years, there has been a concerted effort on the part of Satan to destroy my family, and one of the ways he has tried to do this is by attempting to destroy my children’s faith. During one of our Bible studies, I discerned by her questions that my middle daughter was beginning to have doubts. Upon close examination, I realized that this was due in part to the teaching she was receiving in her ethics class.

You may find it interesting to know that, at least in Munich, children are required to take classes in either Religion or Ethics. I never let my children take the religion classes for fear they were in Roman Catholicism, and nothing is more dangerous for an immature Christian child than instruction in Roman Catholicism: a religion that claims that Jesus Christ is God Almighty, yet subordinates Him to an idol of stone and to a mere man. I would therefore, let my children take Ethics, which I thought would be a safe alternative. I was to find out later, however, that my daughter’s ethics classes are almost like a course in comparative theology, as they often discuss the cultural and ethical practices of other religions, especially Islam. In fact, my children know more about Islam than I do.

This was reinforced by the fact that at the time, my daughter’s three best “friends” were German, Chinese, and Turkish: that is, Roman Catholic, Buddhist, and Muslim. Theirs was the perfect ecumenical friendship, and I don’t think this was a coincidence. I came to realize that quite often the conversations between my daughter and her friends took on a religious flavor. I also noticed that her friends and other children in my daughter’s class were extremely versed in Christian doctrine, and would often tell her that Roman Catholicism was Christianity and that Muslims worship the same God as do the Christians. Satan was going to work on her faith.

The effect of this influence was that my daughter ended up having a dream in which Satan told her that she was not going to heaven. All religions except true Christianity are works based, and, at least in the case of Roman Catholicism and Islam, have a myriad of rules and practices governing everything from prayer to diet and dress. I believe that in my daughter’s eyes, the other religions made Christianity, which is grounded not in our own righteousness, but in the righteousness of Jesus Christ, look inferior and sorely lacking in works.

I realized that Satan was trying to plant seeds of doubt in my daughter’s mind. I anguished over how I could reassure my daughter that she was still saved, even though she had doubts. For days, I prayed for discernment from the Lord as to how best to proceed. Then God showed me a passage in the Bible that I was able to give my daughter to restore her hope. It is 2 Timothy 2:13:

“If we believe not, yet He abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.”

With this passage, I was able to get my daughter to see that it was alright to have doubts, especially for a child, because Satan is going to work overtime for the express purpose of destroying the Christian child’s faith, because he can’t have her soul. I reminded my daughter how Satan tempted Jesus in the wilderness and I told her that if Satan could try to deceive God, then it’s a forgone conclusion that he will do the same to us. I showed her that 1 John 5:13 says that the Christian [child] already has eternal life, meaning that her name is already written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. And I reassured her that Jesus always keeps His promises. Her salvation is guaranteed. I especially taught her from Exodus 34:6 that although God is powerful, and terrible, He is merciful before He is anything else. He understands our doubts, and will forgive them.

I can’t tell you how happy she was that I shared this good news with her. She was so relieved! The best part is that she learned something about Jesus that she didn’t fully understand before. She learned that He is merciful and that He extends this mercy to us every single day. Jesus understands.

We have kept up the tradition of discussing our dreams at the dinner table. But, thankfully I haven’t had to deal with any major theological issues since that scare of three years past. I have also noticed that my children’s dreams are a lot quieter now, for lack of a better term. This may be due to the fact that during our bedtime prayers, we have made it a practice to pray that Jesus will keep Satan out of our dreams that we may have peaceful dreams, free of Satan’s devices.

I no longer turn the television off before dinner. I just put the news on, which instantly turns our attention onto each other: that is, unless there is a news item that I think we should all see and discuss. Switching on the news has become the unofficial cue for my son’s favorite dinnertime question: “So, what did you dream last night?”

The Still Man

Feigning Themselves Just Men

Grace and peace.

So far, I have not made good on my promise to be a better blogger this year, but there is a reason for that: with the new year came a new edition to our family. So, as you can imagine, I have been very busy changing diapers, giving baths, and brushing up on my baby talk. I was surprised how quickly my wife and I have been able to get back into the swing of things, given that it has been quite a few years since there was a baby in the house. They say that muscles have memory, so I guess our baby muscles have memory also. Okay, maybe I need to exercise my comic muscles a bit more before I try anymore baby jokes.

The forces of darkness were not impressed with our little bundle of joy, however, and, even in the hospital, Satan’s “light workers” were busy little bees. The most memorable incident occurred on the last day of my wife’s hospital stay. I had gone down to register my child with the county clerk, as they maintain an office in the hospital. After asking me a few questions, the representative, a pleasant middle-aged woman of apparent Arab parentage, input the information I provided into the system, and asked me to look over the paperwork, to ensure that my child’s information was correct. The lady made it a point to ask me to look the data over very carefully, as this was the information that would be going into the records. As I looked over the data, I noticed that she had entered my religion as “RC,” which means Roman Catholic. When I pointed this out to her, the lady replied that when she had asked my religion, I responded that I was a Christian, and that she thought Christian meant Roman Catholic. I told her that there is a difference, but, for convenience sake, she could just enter “EV” or Evengelical.

Now, to the average person, this may not seem worthy of pen and ink. But if you have followed this blog for any length of time, then you know that there are very few things that happen in my life that are not spiritually significant. And this thing was certainly one of those things. Allow me to explain.

When the lady asked my religion, I told her that I was a Christian, to which she added, “And your wife is an Evangelical, right?” Now, for those of you who do not know, my wife was born and raised a Roman Catholic, and, though she attends an “Evangelical” church, she has never renounced her Roman Catholic faith. This has presented several challenges in our marriage that you may read about here and here. Moreover, my wife pays taxes to the Roman Catholic church as do all Roman Catholics. So, as far as the German government and the Roman Catholic church are concerned, my wife is a Roman Catholic.

As you may know, the term “Evangelical” refers to Bible-believing Christians, who are trusting in the blood of Jesus Christ for their salvation. The genesis of this term is grounded in the Protestant Reformation, the movement that was ignited when Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses on the door of All-Saints church at Wittenburg. The Vatican Council of Trent, which pronounced more than a hundred curses upon the reformers, initiated the Counter-Reformation, and Bible-believing Christians became known as Protestants, because they protested against the religion of Rome, and heretics, because they did not believe in what Rome considers the “One True Church.” Vatican II supposedly ushered in a new feel-good era of brotherhood between Rome and the Christian Church, and, instead of heretics and Protestants, Rome referred to Christians as “separated brethren” and Evangelicals.

The Roman Catholic church uses the term Evangelical to distinguish Roman Catholics from Bible-believing Christians. To understand why, it is important to first understand that the Roman Catholic church believes that it is true Christianity and has always proclaimed that there is no salvation outside the Roman Catholic faith. Last year, the Jesuit Pope Frances reaffirmed this long-standing doctrine when he said,

“There is no path in life, there is no forgiveness, there is no reconciliation outside mother Church.”

In other words, any and all who do not affirm the Roman Catholic pope as the final authority on earth in all matters pertaining to faith, are considered heretics and infidels. Therefore, all feel-good rhetoric notwithstanding, Rome still believes that Christians are heretics. And the penalty for heresy is death. Understand that.

What is the importance of this? Well, I’ll tell you. We are ostensibly in the “feel-good” stage when Roman Catholics and “Evangelicals” are both supposed to be Christians. Proof of this is that, until now, when I have stated that I was a Christian, either that was what was written, or I was asked if I were a Roman Catholic or Evangelical. Never before have I stated that I was a Christian and it was understood that I meant Roman Catholic. So, when this lady understood “Christian” to mean “Roman Catholic,” she was making it clear to me that, at least in her mind, Christian meant Roman Catholic. In other words, her words confirmed that as far as the Roman Catholic church is concerned, there is still no salvation outside “Mother Church.”

Now, I truly do not believe that this incident was merely a coincidence, as experience has taught me that coincidences are a rarity in my life. Therefore, there was a definite purpose to this charade. That she emphasized that I should examine the document very carefully tells me that she wanted me to catch her error, so that she could feign ignorance as to the difference between Roman Catholic and Christian, precipitating further dialog on that subject. My views on Roman Catholicism, particularly my expose on the Roman Catholic Takeover of America, have not gone over well with many Roman Catholics, as you can probably guess. And, on more than one occasion, someone has made a comment for the express purpose of getting me to say something derogatory about the Roman Catholic faith and even Islam.

Last year, for example, I was in the hospital for almost a week for a throat infection. I could not help but notice that when they put me in a room with three beds, they put me in the center bed rather than on the far side of the room. I’ve been in the hospital quite a few times in my life, and I can tell you that it is common practice to fill a room from the far side to the front. This enables a patient to be brought in from surgery without having to disturb the other patients. So, when they put me in the center bed, I already knew something was afoot. It only remained for me to wait and see what was going to happen next.

Well, to make a long story short, I ended up in a room with two men who appeared to be homosexuals. One of them came in later the first day, and said that he had some kind of problem that required surgery, but left the third day without any surgery. This man was placed on my right. The other man came in the second day and the following morning went in for surgery for a problem with his left ear. He was placed on my left. Now pay close attention. When the second man came up from “surgery,” he was apparently sleeping, and his head and left ear were bandaged. I could not help but notice that there was blood on his right hand, as though he had been touching his left ear, which supposedly underwent surgery.

To clarify, this man:

was situated on my LEFT, and
had surgery on his LEFT ear, BUT
his RIGHT hand had blood on it, AS IF
he had been touching the wounded LEFT ear, EVEN THOUGH
he was asleep, AND ALTHOUGH
he had just been brought up from the recovery room, AS IF
he had just had surgery.

Do you get the point? The whole thing was a charade! But what was the point of it? Well, that night we were watching TV, as the guy on the other side of me insisted on watching a show that (coincidentally) had something to do with the purported crimes of the Roman Catholic church. This precipitated, of course, a conversation on religion. Since I understood what was going on, I played along. I was surprised, however, when Big Chief Wounded Ear made mention of Islam and said that all Muslims were fanatics. Now I understood right away that he had hoped that I would make a negative comment about Islam, so I told him that Muslims were not the only ones who were fanatics, and left it at that.

Consider that Luke 20:20 tells us that the scribes and chief priests sent spies out to watch Jesus, who “should feign themselves just men.” Strong’s Concordance says that just, in this context, means “innocent” or “holy.” In other words, these men pretended to merely want to converse with Jesus when their purpose was to trap Him in His words so that they could accuse Him. Jesus told us that we could look for Satan’s people to do the same thing to us as they did to Him, as “the servant is not greater than his Master.” There is indeed nothing new under the sun.

We are in a war, Saints.

He Said/She Said – January 18, 2014

“To have that receipt that says I made a legal purchase [of marijuana] in my lifetime, I’d rather have that than see the third coming of God.”

How To Watch Television and Still Glorify the Lord Jesus

Grace and peace, Saints.

You would be amazed at some of the things that Jesus has shown me. I know I am. In 2011, I asked Jesus to do one specific thing for me: to show me how to make the Bible real in my life. I asked Him to show me how to apply specific teachings, verses, and passages in the Bible to my everyday life so that the Bible would become a living, breathing, reality to me, not just a Book to be picked up on Sunday and forgotten the rest of the week. I wanted Him to take the mystery out of the Bible.

God heard, and God did. He answered my prayer. I have since found that things you and I wouldn’t normally spend much time thinking about actually confirm things that are written of in the Bible and are often prophetic.

Let me give you a practical example of the importance of this. I don’t much like television. During my four-year separation from my wife, I lived in St. Louis, Missouri, while she lived here in Munich, Germany. Our children, who were 10, 9, and 6 at the time, lived with me for the first year and a half of that separation. Because I wanted to raise my children without the negative influences of television, we owned no television set. So the only time we would see television is when we visited someone or if there was a television at a McDonalds or something. After the children went back to their mother, I continued this practice. On those occasions I did want to watch television, I would watch one of my favorite television shows from the old days on YouTube. When I wanted to hear the news, I would turn on the radio, read my news feed on the internet, or go down to Schnucks supermarket, where there was a television that was always tuned to CNN. There I would have a donut and coffee and catch up on the news.

When my wife and I reconciled back in March 2012, I had to get used to television all over again, because my wife loves television. She has also trained my children to love television. Because the media are not God-fearing people, the programs that the media create do not glorify the Lord Jesus. They glorify Satan and they glorify sin. So you can imagine the challenge this presents. But God showed me how to take what the children see on television and use it to expose Satan’s lies.

Yesterday, for instance, we were watching Cosmo and Wanda (the German title), the cartoon featuring Timmy Turner, and his two fairy friends. At one point in an episode, there just happened to be two wooden boards and three nails lying on the floor. One board was longer than the other. It suddenly occurred to me that Jesus was nailed to a cross constructed of two boards, one longer than the other, and He was fastened to that cross with three nails: one each for his wrists, and one to hold his feet. Because my children have grown quite accustomed to me doing this, and in fact, catch a lot of things themselves, when I paused the program and asked them what they thought those things represented they understood immediately, and answered correctly. In fact, only one of them missed the significance of those symbols. Hey, two out of three ain’t bad.

A couple of days ago, The Chronicles of Narnia was on television. Now, I have avoided watching this program before and forbade my children to watch it, because I know that the movie is based on a book written by C.S. Lewis, who many believe was a Christian, but who was really into the occult. Occultism in movies is bad enough, but so-called Christian occultism, or Gnosticism, is much worse. A child exposed to Gnostic teachings who is not firmly grounded in the faith could be led astray. Many have been.

In that schoolteachers are exposing our children to occultism through movies and books, I decided that I would watch it together with them and show them not only how Satan is using those movies to beguile children into the occult, but also how he makes his deceptions enticing with very realistic special effects like talking dragons, unicorns, and other mythical creatures brought convincingly to life. Having been a science fiction and horror movie buff for many years, I know full well the lure of these movies. I also know that because there is no graphic violence or overt sex or anti-Christ imagery in these movies, a clever teacher can beguile an unwitting child into believing that nothing is wrong with them, and that the parent that objects to them is too “puritanical” and strict.

Many of our children’s teachers are pagans and witches who present themselves as open-minded and easy-going while portraying Christian parents as religious prigs, fanatics, doomsday preachers, Bible-thumpers, homophobes, or anything else they feel threatened by. If they can get our children to trust them instead of us, they have won the battle.

With this is mind, my children and I watched the program together, and afterwards we discussed it in light of the Bible. The children understood immediately that Atlan, the lion king, was a metaphor for Jesus Christ. Of course, there was more symbolism there. As a matter of fact, the entire adventure was a sort of occult initiation. But I didn’t discuss this with them. It sufficed for them to know that Jesus is not in the movie making business, so if we are going to watch television, we had better be on the lookout for the lie Satan is going to try to sell us, because that is always his end game.

I would be lying if I said that I didn’t enjoy the movie. Like I said, I grew up on this stuff. That is why I have to be very careful what I watch and what I let my children watch. Though I’m too stable and grounded in the truth to be misled, I know that this kind of movie is really anti-Christ. Therefore, I ought not to watch it, nor let my children watch it.

The sequel to The Chronicles followed the original, but I told my children that we would not be watching that. They were very understanding and decided to go into their room and play. And that was that.

The Still Man

A New Year’s Resolution (Promise)

Grace, mercy, and peace to the saints, “Live long and prosper” to the pagans, and a “Happy New Year” to all.

I don’t like to make New Year’s resolutions, because if I do, it must, of necessity, follow that I will neither do what I resolve to do, nor complete those resolutions I manage to begin. Therefore, instead of making a resolution, this year I have made a decision: I have decided to become a real blogger: that is, to blog more frequently.

I want to do this, not only because blogging is supposed to be a frequent activity (which is why blogging is not for everyone, including me), but also because I must do so if I want this ministry to be effective. Often I will read a passage of Scripture and instantly a teaching will come to mind, while at other times I will come across something from a secular source that validates Scripture or illustrates a particular teaching in the Bible. I want to share these things with the body of Christ, but because producing a teaching usually involves hours of research and writing, which entails time and energy that I just don’t have, I will file it for later use. Consequently, I have several teachings that I have been developing off and on for quite some time, while others are ideas that have been sitting in an Evernote notebook for literally months, waiting for me to develop them. In short, much of what I want to write hasn’t yet been written. Moreover, being an English major and an editor by nature, I usually obsess over anything I write before and even after I post it.

This behavior, as you can probably guess, is diametrically opposed to blogging.

This is not a good thing; for we have come to realize that this blog is important to many individual Christians as well as a vital ministry for several bourgeoning churches in the U.S. and especially overseas, where there is a dearth in the land for the pure undefiled Word of God and for sound Bible doctrine and sound Bible teaching. So it is important that we continue to enable the workers in the vineyard to reap the harvest and the pastors to feed their flocks. We want to ensure that we are constantly getting information out to the body of Christ and getting you to think, because that is what we must do to overcome Satan’s myriad deceptions in these last days.

In order to do this, I am going to start posting more of my thoughts to the blog, which will not all be fully developed teachings, but instead the raw material on which a teaching can be based. When I see something that I think would edify the body of Christ, rather than trying to develop a teaching out of that thought, I will merely post the Scripture reference (or a secular reference or example with an accompanying Scripture reference) followed by a brief commentary demonstrating its importance to the body of Christ. When God lays something on my heart that deserves a more thoughtful and involved exposition, I will present it in a fully developed teaching.

In this manner, we hope to enable our readers to conduct their own research and develop a teaching that they can use for their own edification or for their personal ministries. We feel this will also help us to fulfill another purpose of this ministry: encouragement. You may have noticed that it has been over two years since we posted any devotions. We would like to revive this activity as we have gotten many positive responses to them. The time saved from the other activities may help us to do this.

We also hope to launch a website this year, where the more popular and edifying articles from this blog can be found for quick reference. We will also link it to the podcast, the YouTube channel, and other resources. We will continue the blog, as we have found it to be indispensable for getting our thoughts out to you as well as for getting your feedback. We are considering discontinuing the other two blogs, as we have not posted anything to them in quite some time. We may solicit input from our readers to keep those blogs going.

2014 and the Cult of Mary

Grace and peace, Saints.

The above photo was posted on New Year’s Eve to Facebook by MasterCard. Don’t these gestures all look very peculiar? Doesn’t the hand in the center seem to be displaying what looks remarkably like a Nazi salute? Didn’t Adolph Hitler use this same salute? Wasn’t Adolph Hitler a faithful Roman Catholic? Don’t the gestures displayed by the two hands in the left foreground and background resemble the Cult of Mary hand signs that we discussed in our article on the same? Isn’t the Cult of Mary linked to the Roman Catholic church?

Doesn’t one hand appear to be holding an invisible cup? Isn’t the Great Whore, called Mystery Babylon in the Book of the Revelation Chapter 17, said to be holding a “golden cup” in her hand? Isn’t the Great Whore the Roman Catholic church?

What is MasterCard trying to tell us about the year 2014?

Remember, Mystery Babylon communicates through symbols. Nothing they do is arbitrary.

Think!

A New Year’s Message

Grace and peace, Saints.

Every December 31^st, we look forward to the coming new year with great anticipation, optimism, and hope. The New Year holds the promise of a fresh start and a new beginning. The New Year symbolizes a chance to make amends, to right wrongs, and to thank those whom we neglected to thank. It’s an opportunity to start things we haven’t started, and to finish thing we have. It’s an opportunity to stop procrastinating and to become proactive rather than reactive. It’s a chance to become doers instead of merely watchers of them who do. This year you may even get up the nerve to ask that pretty girl at the library out on a date.

The New Year is a chance to become better people: a chance to become better husbands, better wives, better parents, and better neighbors.

Most importantly, the New Year means another opportunity for us Christians to “make full proof” of our ministry: to win more souls for Jesus Christ. It’s a chance to preach more sermons, to pass out more gospel tracts, to finally witness to our lost family, friends, and neighbors. And it’s a chance to finally share the gospel with a boss or coworker who desperately needs to hear it. Maybe you’ve always wanted to start a ministry of your own, but you have no idea what your calling is or what would be the best way to use your talents and abilities for the glory of Jesus Christ. Well, the New Year presents the perfect opportunity for you to go for it. Don’t wait for that “still small voice” to tell you what God wants you to do. Find something to do, and do it. Get busy for the Lord. Maybe later that voice will say, “Ataboy!”

The New Year means a time to readjust, redefine, reevaluate, reaffirm, and reorder goals and priorities. If, for example, in 2013, Satan hindered you from reaching you’re goal of 100 podcasts by year’s end, you merely reaffirm that goal for 2014. If your goal last year was to witness to at least one person a week, but you managed to witness only a couple of times the whole year, no worries! Simply set a new goal. You may even want to reduce your target to something a little more do-able. The important thing is to set a goal and to shoot for it. Even if you don’t make it, the confidence and knowledge you gain will be invaluable. You will also learn the value of setting goals and priorities. There’s just no way to lose. As the old saying goes, if you aim for the stars, you just might hit the moon!

The New Year is also an opportunity for us to rededicate ourselves to the Lord. Perhaps last year we weren’t walking with Jesus as closely as we could have. Perhaps the cares of this world became too much for us and we veered somewhat off course. Perhaps our hearts became hardened by the deceptiveness of sin. Whatever the reason, the New Year means an opportunity for us to get back on track, to repent, to confess, and to show the Lord Jesus that we mean business.

So as we dust the old year off our boots and step into the fresh clean powder of the New Year, let us endeavor to make it the best one yet. Let us redouble our efforts to bring the gospel of Jesus Christ to a lost and dying world.

Oh, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Gospel Tracts: Preaching Without Preaching

Grace and peace, Saints.

I hope you all had a blessed Christmas day. For the second year, the Spirit led me to distribute gospel tracts in my neighborhood on Christmas Eve, so I picked up where I left off last year, leaving tracts in the mailboxes of apartments and private residences. I routinely pass out gospel tracts on trains and subways, in doctors and dentist offices, or wherever the Spirit leads me, but this was only the second time I have gone house-to-house distributing gospel tracts here in Munich.

Saints, Jesus gave us a mandate to preach the gospel unto every creature (Mark 16:15), and we are duty-bound to obey. Now, there are several ways to preach the gospel: and there would have to be, as not all of us are endued with the power, courage, or ability to preach a sermon. Gospel tracts are a great way to preach the gospel to the lost without ever having to open your mouth.

I like to leave tracts on subway cars and stations, which, in the morning, are usually very crowded with working class people, professionals, and students on their way to work or school. Munchners, much like New Yorkers, are extremely suspicious of people who walk up to them out of the blue and try to strike up a conversation with them about any subject, let alone the disposition of their eternal soul. So, it can be a challenge to find a natural way to get the gospel message to them. That’s where gospel tracts come in. For many, the only time they have to read is on their commute to work and back home: gospel tracts are a nice alternative to the morning paper. I usually make my way from the front of the subway to the back or vice-versa handing out tracts at random while preaching a short gospel message. If someone rejects a tract, I will either attempt to hand it to the person seated beside or across from them, or politely ask if I may place it on the seat beside them.

Because of the historic enmity of Roman Catholicism and Islam to Christianity, a person demonstrating any interest in the gospel message may run the risk of being considered a heretic or an infidel by his family, friends, and relatives. Leaving a tract on a seat beside someone is therefore not always the best option, as it makes it necessary for the person to make an effort to pick the tract up. By handing the tract to a person, I give him the opportunity to appear to only want to be nice to me, and he can then take the opportunity to read the tract before discarding it. For the same reason, I also like to distribute tracts on an empty or half empty subway car, so that an individual has to pick the tract up in order to sit down. The person may then feign curiosity and read the tract before discarding it. The important thing is that he has an opportunity to hear the gospel message. And that’s what it’s all about.

Gospel tracts are also a good way to get the gospel to people with whom you would normally not come into contact on a daily basis. Munich is much like New York, London, or Japan, where the price of a house is so exorbitant, that most people can only afford to live in an apartment. You will therefore often find people of various professions and economic brackets living in the same apartment building. These are busy professionals, who can be difficult to pin down long enough to present them with the gospel message. Many go from their house to their car and vice-versa, and don’t generally associate with their neighbors or with people outside of their circle of acquaintance. Leaving gospel tracts in the mailboxes of these people is a harmless, non-intrusive means to present the gospel message to them.

The best thing about a gospel tract is that it’s a great way to get the gospel of Jesus Christ to someone who is not yet ready to hear it. On many occasions, a person has accepted a gospel tract from me who had just laughed me to scorn for preaching the gospel to him. Others have agreed to listen to what I have to say and elected to continue to believe what they want to believe. Yet they accept a tract because, as one man put it, “You never know.” These people, though they were not yet ready to accept the gospel, had sense enough to know that it is foolish to completely dismiss an opinion without having all the facts. If they will not hear or accept our witness now, they may later when and if God puts them in a position where the gospel may be their only means of comfort or security.

Reactions to tracts vary drastically. Some gladly receive them, while others reject them outright. I once offered a gospel tract to a coworker, who quickly rejected it. I told him that he didn’t know what he was missing and he said that he knew exactly what he was missing. This person, as do many, knew something of the gospel and decided that he wanted no part of it. It was his decision, of course, but he did decide; and that is exactly what we want people to do. Some will accept a tract, read it through, and discard it afterwards, while others will first accept it, but immediately throw it away once they perceive that it contains the gospel message. One Muslim gentleman actually asked me for a tract, but, after reading a couple of pages, he tore it in half and then tore the halves into halves. I noted, however, that rather than throw the pieces onto the floor, he carefully placed them into his backpack.

Of all the reactions I have experienced, the most memorable actually occurred this Christmas Eve. Unable to enter a particular apartment building and noting that the mailboxes were inside the building rather than outside, I left a number of tracts lodged between the narrow space between the entrance door and the door jam. As I was walking to the next apartment building, I heard a voice behind me and turned to see a woman walking behind me holding the tracts I had just left. Speaking in German, the woman said that “they” didn’t want the tracts and offered them back to me. I refused them, however, telling her that she could do with them as she pleased. Happily, the second apartment building was open, and I went in and placed tracts in the mailboxes there. I was surprised as I noticed the woman standing outside the building, pacing back and forth, while glaring at me through the glass door. When I exited the building, she was still standing there, arms folded and with her back to me in disgust.

As I reflected on this, I was reminded of how Jesus told the scribes and Pharisees that they held the key of knowledge and would not go in themselves, but prevented those who wanted to go in from doing so. There is indeed nothing new under the sun.

Most who discard a tract will simply place it back on the seat or toss it on the floor or ground. But, occasionally, someone will throw a tract into the garbage. Only once have I retrieved a tract from the trash, and that was because the guy threw it there right in front of me. Normally, my rule is to not retrieve a discarded tract, nor to receive a tract back from someone who first accepts it. The Bible says that God’s Word will not return to Him void. So, I believe that even if someone throws a tract away, if it is His will, God will make sure the tract gets into the hands of the person for whom it was intended. I have a personal testimony of this.

The very first gospel tract I ever saw was the Chick tract, “This Was Your Life,” which I found one day when I was around sixteen or seventeen years old. I had just gotten off the 90 Hampton bus at the intersection of Wabada and Goodfellow in St. Louis, about a block from my house, when I spotted the tract on the pavement, soaking wet from a hard rain. I could see instantly that it was a comic tract, and being both curious and an avid comic lover, I picked up the tract and took it home. After placing it on a newspaper and drying it in the oven, I read the tract from cover to cover, though I did not heed the gospel message it contained. I would read the electronic version of that same tract again, some twenty-five years later, when, after having led a wicked life for many years and tired of sinning, I was ready to accept Jesus’ sacrifice on Calvary. Desperate, I sought out the tract on the internet and happily found it.

So I know first hand the power and effectiveness of gospel tracts, which is why I have made tract distribution a major part of my ministry. I have even written a couple of tracts myself. I know that if a discarded, rain-soaked gospel tract can change the life of a poor, seventeen-year-old boy decades later, then a gospel tract, whether found neat and crisp on a seat of a subway car, or pulled, crumpled and soiled, from the garbage, can change the life of someone today. So, I don’t get discouraged when someone discards a tract. The will of God will always be accomplished.

Hatred for Christianity and peer pressure from the pagan majority to hate Christianity is so great these days that it takes a very courageous person to show any interest in the gospel message. But people are hungry for the truth. Many have tried to find joy and contentment in their religions, in their heroes, in their jobs, in their hobbies, in their spouses, in their friends, in their lifestyles, and in their creature comforts. All have been left disappointed, empty, and feeling very, very betrayed. There are many hurting people out there who are ready and willing to hear the gospel message. They want to know if what they have heard about Jesus Christ is true. They want to know if He really can bring them joy and peace in this world and eternal happiness in the next. It is up to us to give them the gospel of Jesus Christ. It is up to us to give them the information they need to make the most important decision they will ever make.

And that’s the key. Without information, it is impossible to make an informed decision. And without complete information, it is impossible to make a completely informed decision. A person who has not heard the gospel of Jesus Christ does not have complete information. So any decision a person makes without considering Jesus is not a completely informed decision.

Decisions made without complete information have had catastrophic results. The so-called War on Terror, for example, which has resulted in the deaths of thousands of men and women and the maiming and disfiguration of hundreds more, all began with a decision based on incomplete information. Similarly, more than 60 percent of the world population daily makes decisions that may have catastrophic results for their eternal souls based on incomplete information. These people need to know that Jesus Christ died for the sins of the world, and that if they die without accepting His sacrifice, they will go to the Lake of Fire burning with fire and brimstone, where they will endure eternal suffering. If, after hearing the gospel, they still reject Jesus’ free gift of salvation, then they do so with full knowledge of the consequences. When they come before the Lord Jesus, they will be, as the Bible says, “without excuse.” This is not our concern, however, as our job is simply to give them the information they need to make an informed decision.

I hope this puts it in perspective for you. I hope you now understand how important our witness is. I hope you now understand that the world is making catastrophic decisions because of incomplete information, and that these decisions have eternal consequences. I hope this kindles or renews a fire in you to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Gospel tracts are available from a number of ministries, such as Chick Publications and One Million Tracts. If you decide to go with Chick, you may want to read this article first.

May God bless you.

It’s Christmas, So I’m Supposed To Be Happy…Right?

Grace and peace, Saints.

Today is Christmas. Millions of children will be bounding down the stairs or running into the living room to see what Mom and Dad, oh…er…Santa Claus bought…oops…brought them for Christmas. Today the air will be filled with the sweet sound of cell phone ring tones, the boop and bop of Playstation II’s, the silent padding of fingers on smart phone touch screen displays, the barely audible, yet strangely irritating tapping of Nintendo DS controls, the aimless prating of “talking” dolls, the barking of dogs, the mewing of cats, the happy scurrying of rats, bells ringing, whistles blowing, children playing and fighting, parents arguing, in-laws criticizing, Uncle Arthur Lee bragging on how his son just got promoted to vice president of marketing, Uncle Percy bragging on how his son just got 15 full-rid scholarship offers: Aunt Eunice bragging on how her daughter got a marriage proposal from some senator (who is already married); Uncle Charles putting mistletoe over every woman or girl’s head so he can get a smooch; old, touchy-feely Uncle Chester pretending to be happy to see everybody so he can get a free feel, while his wife’s lethal gaze bores a hole in his neck from her corner on the far side of the room; cousin Constance explaining how her husband Sheldon is so busy managing his successful business that he couldn’t pull himself away from his work long enough to come over for Christmas dinner, when the truth is that he is spending Christmas with his mistress’s family pretending to be her fiancée, and let’s not even go into the bill for all this trouble…Aaahhh, Christmas!

Christmas is supposed to be a joyful time, but let’s face it: for many people, Christmas is not a joyful time at all. It’s not even a happy time. For many, Christmas is a time of sadness, loneliness, anger, depression, and profound emptiness. One reason for this is that we have been programmed by the media to believe that Christmas is supposed to be a happy time, but all the things the media teaches us make Christmas a happy time are material things. And material things cost money.

Food costs money, but food at Christmas time costs lots of money. Presents cost money, but Christmas presents cost lots of money. Airplane tickets cost money, but airplane tickets at Christmastime cost lots of money. Gas costs money, but gas at Christmastime costs lots of money. Hotels rooms cost money, but hotel rooms at Christmastime cost lots of money. Christmas decorations cost money. Baby food and diapers for the trip cost money. New dishes and silverware cost money. That diamond ring you bought your girlfriend in your Christmas-romantic-comedy-induced psychosis cost a gang of money. And so on and so forth und so weiter. Money, money, money, money…MONEY!

It should come as no great surprise that those who get all our Christmas money are the same folks who make the movies, television shows, commercials, and music that program you to go out and spend all that money. Don’t you wish you could send them the bill?

For many, Christmas is also a time to remember lost loved ones. For these people, one of the happiest times was the last Christmas the whole family was together. I am one of those people, and, for me, that Christmas happened in 1990. Four of those who were present at that Christmas gathering no longer walk the earth, while another is at this very moment incarcerated, another is estranged, and yet another is intangible. Every individual, imperfect, and unique one of those people mattered and does matter to me, so it is impossible for me not to think about them at this time. Truly, I can understand the deep sadness many feel for this reason during Christmas.

Another reason many are not happy during Christmas is because, for them, it is a time of deep reflection. When we see others looking so happy (if only on television), we wonder why we are not. We wonder what is lacking in our lives that keep us from enjoying the same ostensive happiness everyone else enjoys. We wonder why we are so sad, while everyone else seems so glad. We have always had the awareness that we are not in a good place, but because most of the people we know are in the same place we are, it is easy to pretend that everything is OK. But, there is something about Christmas that destroys all our illusions and pretentions. Christmas is a time of stark reality. (Read Truth: John 14:16).

Another reason many are so sad during Christmas is because they are alone. Again, we have been programmed by the media to believe that Christmas is a time to be with family, friends, or a loved one. When we turn on the TV and see families gathered around the dinner table, or friends sharing a cup of hot cocoa in front of the fireplace, or lovers on the couch snuggled up under a blanket with a bowl of hot popcorn watching TV, and we look around us and see nothing but a gas-fired stove and Oscar, the mutt looking pitifully at us, or a Spartan hotel room, or a crowded homeless shelter, or a tent in the dry desert of Iraq or South Sudan or the cold, barren mountains of Afghanistan, we think there must be something wrong with us because, here it is Christmas and we are all alone and have no one to share it with.

Still another reason I imagine many are sad during Christmas is because they feel this might be their last Christmas. For those lying in a hospital bed or at home with a terminal illness, I imagine it hurts to think that we may never see our loved ones faces around the dinner table at Christmas again. We may never see our children open another Christmas present. We may never say “Thanks Dad!” or “Thanks Mom!” and we may never again thank everyone for coming to Christmas dinner.

There are probably a myriad other reasons many are sad during Christmas, and each one of those reasons is legitimate and real to someone. It would therefore be folly to say that any reason for a person’s sadness during Christmastime is unwarranted. I will say, however, that while the reason may be warranted, our rea-son-ing is often faulty. You see, Christmas is not supposed to be a happy time; Christmas is supposed to be a joyous time. Happiness and joy are not the same thing, though they are often used interchangeably.

We are usually happy when we get what we want, and sad (or at least disappointed) when we don’t. If we get something we always wanted, we are happy. Happy is contentment in the secular sense.

The Christian is supposed to be joyful even when we don’t get what we want. Why? Because we know that Jesus Christ, who is God Almighty, is able to give us anything we want if He is so inclined. Therefore, when we don’t get what we want when we want it, we know that 1. He has something better for us, or 2. He hasn’t given us what we want yet, but will in the future, or 3. He doesn’t think we need what we have asked Him for. An All-Powerful God has assured the Christian that if we ask, He will give us anything we want (within reason) according to His will. Therefore, when we don’t get what we want, when we want it, we know that if we are walking with Jesus like we ought to, regardless of our circumstances, the will of God is being accomplished in our lives. And the Christian is most joyful when God’s will is being done in his life. Joyful, then, is contentment in the Christian sense.

For most people, the day which has come to be called Christmas is not the celebration of the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Jesus was born into the world for one reason and one reason only: to die for the sins of mankind. All mankind is sinful, and every person who has ever lived needed Jesus to die on the cross for his sins; for it is only the death of Jesus that made it possible for us to escape the condemnation of Hell and judgment and be acceptable to come before the presence of a Holy God. When Adam sinned, all mankind became separated from God and received a death sentenced. Ancient man knew this very well, and it was for this reason that the wise men from the East traveled a great distance through many perils just to prostrate themselves at the feet of Jesus. They were grateful for the sacrifice they knew He would make at Calvary. It was a joyous occasion for them.

The same holds true for Christians today. The Christian understands that the Bible says, “the wages of sin is death” (Romans 6:23). He knows that his only hope is in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. He knows the value and importance of the Blood. He knows that if Jesus Christ had not been born, then He could not have died. And if Jesus Christ had not died, then all hope would be lost: we would be dead in our sins. Christmas for the Christian is a time of joy and celebration.

The unrepentant sinner does not know this. To him, Christmas is whatever the media says it is. And the media says that Christmas is about presents, food, drinks, and family gatherings. The media says that something is wrong if you’re alone on Christmas. The media says that if you don’t put up a Christmas tree, and if it’s not snowing outside, then “it’s just not Christmas.” Even movies that seem to expose the rampant consumerism associated with Christmas (“How The Grinch Stole Christmas” and “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation” readily come to mind) still convey the message that it must be snowing outside to be Christmas or that Christmas is about family gatherings. The media makes it about the externals and not the internals. No wonder so many people are miserable at Christmas.

If you are a person who is sad at Christmas for any reason other than the loss of a loved one or that Christmas is associated with a particularly traumatic event, you have good reason to be: you are still dead in your sins and on a collision course with Hell. It’s just that simple. Christmas is not about presents. Christmas is not about food. Christmas is not even about families. Christmas is about Jesus. If you have not made Jesus Christ your Savior, then you have nothing to be joyous about.

If you are uncomfortable or sad during Christmas for any of the reason except death or trauma associated with the holiday or for any other reason out of your control, take it from me: you have been programmed to feel that way. Satan does that so that a day which is supposed to be associated with the greatest day in the history of the world and should, therefore be a joyful occasion, is, to the contrary, associated with spending money you don’t have, slaving for hours over a hot stove, dredging up old hurts and tearing the scabs off healing wounds, lying, putting on airs, and being sad and embarrassed for being broke, poor, having no family, and/or being alone. Satan has made it so that we can’t wait for Christmas to be over with, so we can stop being “happy,” or feeling like a loser for being sad. This should not be.

If you are sad because it’s Christmas, ask yourself why. If the reason is because you don’t know Jesus, the Person for whom that day is named, and, therefore, have no relationship with Him, and, therefore are lost and dead in your sins, and, therefore are on your way to Hell, and, therefore, have no hope, and, therefore, have no reason to be joyous, and, therefore, are sad, then why don’t you make Jesus your Savior today? It takes less than a minute, and will be the best decision you ever made. Then, God willing, next Christmas you will have cause to celebrate! (or not).

New Podcast

Grace and peace, Saints.

I’m sorry I haven’t posted anything in a few weeks, but my plate has been pretty full lately. For the past few days we have been remastering the podcasts, because I noticed that there were quite a few incomplete downloads, probably owing to a combination of low bandwidth and the behemoth file sizes of the audio files themselves. I had no idea they were that large. So, I went back to the originals and remastered them, not only reducing their file size for easy downloading, but editing out a lot of the mistakes, noise, and superfluous material. What remains I believe to be a great deal cleaner and more succinct (except perhaps the series on generational curses).

We have also produced a podcast to accompany our teaching on Intercessory Prayer, which we believe to be extremely edifying. You can get it at the iTunes Store.

We are working on a number of articles that we believe will be of particular interest to our readers and to the Body of Christ. We will post them shortly, God willing. Keep checking back with us.

I am in the process of creating podcasts of the important book, Ravening Wolves, written by Christian evangelist, Monica Farrell, wherein I narrate the entire book from cover to cover. Besides facilitating those who are hearing impaired or simply would prefer to listen to the book rather than read it, I also wanted to create a permanent audio record of this most important work to ensure it would not vanish when the last surviving copies of the book vanish. It is a valuable historical resource and, as such, should be preserved for posterity.
