Apostasy In The Church!


Another reason for the impending judgment of God is the apostasy that has crept into the Church. Today, we stand at the door of a grand endeavor. That is to prepare for the appearing of the Son of God, the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords, Jesus Christ. Our challenge is to make ready the bride to be united with the bridegroom. She must remain chaste, pure, undefiled and without spot or wrinkle. The external forces in our world are pressing in upon the boundaries of holiness and righteousness which are so firmly established in God's Holy Word.

The ideals of a carnal theology have infiltrated the pulpit and weakened the faith that was once delivered to the saints. Jude 1:3, “Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.” What faith is Jude speaking about? He was talking about the message that Jesus taught which command He had given to the Church. Matt. 28:18, “And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”

The promise of Christ is that as the pure Gospel goes forth, it is accompanied by His power and authority. When religious men compromise the Word of God, there is no authority of Christ, therefore, there is no power. If there is no power in the message, ask by whose authority the message has come. Is this my message or the message from the heart of God? (To be continued) The Message: A Critical Review Of End Time Events, p 44-45, available at Amazon.com.
