The Kingdom of the Cults






"The Kingdom of the Cults," written by the late Dr. Walter Martin, is considered the master work where cults, their histories and beliefs are concerned. In it, Martin covers everything from Jehovah's Witnesses to the Mormons to Theosophy. Highly recommended!

"It is I, be not afraid," by A. B. Simpson

When the storm was fiercely raging
On the Lake of Galilee,
And their helpless bark was tossing
On the wild, tempestuous seas,
Walking on the raging waters
In a robe of light arrayed,
Jesus came, oh, hear Him calling-
It is I, be not afraid!"

When the storms of life are raging,
And the night is long and drear,
When our strength is spent with toiling,
And our spirit sinks with fear,
Oft again we see Him coming,
Swiftly hastening to our aid;
Often still we hear Him calling -
"It is I, be not afraid!"

When the night of death shall lower,
And the Jordan's surges roll,
When the hour and power of darkness
Overwhelm the sinking soul,
Then above the raging billows,
And might's deepest, darkest shade,
We shall hear Him calling to us -
"It is I, be not afraid!"

Evangelical leaders sign a statement equating Allah, the Muslim god, with Yahweh, the Christian God

A "who's who" of evangelical Christian leaders, including Rick Warren, Robert Schuller, Brian McLaren, Richard Cizik and Bill Hybels, have signed a letter to the Muslim community entitled "Loving God And Neighbor Together" that openly equates Allah with the Christian God. This letter was in response to an open letter from 138 prominent Islamic leaders entitled "A Common Word between Us and You" which stressed that the "unity of God" is "thus the common ground between Islam and Christianity."

Both of these letters again and again talk of "God" as if both Christians and Muslims recognize and worship the exact same being.

Paul Washer - A Sermon that may Shock You

The following video is a hard-hitting look at the state of the church in America today and the deception of believing that merely saying a prayer assures you of Heaven. Is Jesus really Lord of your life, or just a figurehead? Is your life changing? Do you love the things that God hates?

1 John 2:15-17 - "Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that [is] in the world--the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life--is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever."
