“He [Jesus] answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.”
–Mark 7:6-7
The end times are a time of deception.
One of the most effective deceptions has to do with the counterfeit church which flourishes in every city, town, village and hamlet.
Satan Has Counterfeited the Christian Church
Though this Church of the Tares LOOKS like the Church of Jesus Christ, it is a clever counterfeit, honoring God Almighty and His Son, Jesus Christ, with its lips and not its actions.
The Corporate Media LOVE to promote sin and license and then–once the effects of a long-term government/media propaganda campaign bear bad fruit–write the obituaries.
HOWEVER, publishers will never go broke flattering those who attend the pagan temples known in America as the “churches.” As always, whenever Satan’s Mouthpiece (the Corporate Media) refers to “Christian,” the savvy reader knows to append “counterfeit” to the front of it.
“Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying, This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.”
–Matthew 15:7-9
This vain worship of the lips, so popular in the social clubs called “the churches,” might be put a different, more up-to-date way.
It might be called “talk the talk.”
Talk the talk: many.
Walk the walk: very few.
“Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.”
–Matthew 7:13-14
As it is in 2016, in years past the portion of America which was Christian was EXTREMELY small. Most likely because in America, the definition of “Christian” has always been an extremely flexible one.
The portion of America which PRETENDED (or because they sat in a building called a “church” mistakenly BELIEVED themselves) to be Christian HAS ALWAYS been a good deal larger than the few who really were Christian.
“Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men: Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid. Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us?”
–Isaiah 29:13-15
One way to worship God with more than just the lips: separate from the world.
Separating from the World: END TIMES SURVIVAL
DOES the reader mistakenly believe that he is “right with the LORD” because he puts in some time during the week at one of the churches?
THOUGH time grows short, there is still yet a little time left to change direction (repent) and call upon the name of the LORD.
Do not wait until it is too late.
Is your calling and election sure?
Time is Running Out: Today is the Day of Salvation
THE GOSPEL
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16
