Warning Confusion And Deception In The Church

Gods Word has much to say to believers but will confound the unbelievers. Confusion has entered the church to deceive believers from Gods truth. The church is not the same when many preachers are proclaiming lies, which is false doctrine. Many denominations have caused this confusion to be sustained as truth through their people for many past generations. People think preachers only proclaim truth. When you tell a lie long enough, you believe it. Some denominations tell the world that Gods Word is full of errors and contradictions, which is what Satan wants to cause more deception. If you do what God wants, you will have peace with God. If you do less than what is expected, God will take your talent and give it to someone else. If you are available, God will meet you there. The Bible does command you to commit your way to the Lord and follow him.

'Deception in the Church' brings a timely warning to both Christians and non-Christians to be alert to the strategies satan uses to keep us from the truth. The book traces the historical development of Christianity, the battles for the faith against the legalism and tradition of the Jews to the influences of Greek philosophy and Gnosticism. It reveals the heresy and corruption of the faith by Roman Catholicism and the undermining influences of science and humanism to post-modernism and New Age thinking.

Are there false, fruitless and even deceptive predators in the pulpits of the modern church? If so, are these deceivers leading multitudes to the worship of false gods through their damnable heresies? Are "seeker-friendly" churches creating a new class of "Christians" who have no concept of authentic, Biblical Christianity? Are there leaders who are building their own kingdoms in lieu of God's and doing so on your dime? Are we hearing the full counsel of the LORD from those in leadership, or the psychology and programs of mere men? Are beguiling emissaries in our midst drawing believers away from pure devotion and intimacy with Jesus Christ? Do these things exist within your local fellowship? Are you truly being instructed in the right ways of the LORD? Explore the answers to these and many more questions in this bold, insightful, and resourceful look at the church world today. WHAT YOU WILL GAIN FROM READING THIS BOOK: What specific erroneous teachings are circulating in the church world and how to identify and expose them How to discern the genuine leaders who truly follow the Word and Spirit of God, from the false and fruitless who are using God's money to build their own kingdoms How to please the LORD by positioning and establishing His written revelation as final authority in your personal life How to discern and cease wasting your brief existence on this earth supporting wolves in sheep's clothing How to serve God with a loving and concerned heart from the foundation of divine immutable truth "Todd has addressed the number one issue of today's Christian culture. A subtle enemy has been invading our Christian churches and lulling Christians to sleep. This book is a dynamic tool for the discerning Christian who wants to be an effective servant of the LORD." Dan White

In the confusion of voices at the turn of the millennium, Christians need to hear one voice above all others: the voice of Jesus Christ.

Practical Strategies for Gospel-Centered Children's Ministry When building a children's ministry at a church, there is so much to consider: Which curriculum should we use? How many volunteers do we need? How do we keep parents in the loop? And that's before we run into stalled check-in computers, missing activity sheets, and floors that need to be vacuumed. While all of the tasks of children's ministry are important, leaders can get easily distracted with the everyday work of doing ministry and lose sight of the main focus—the gospel. Writing from personal ministry experience, Jared Kennedy shares a four-fold approach for gospel-centered, missional children's ministry: hospitality, teaching, discipleship, and mission. This practical resource covers a variety of topics ranging from creating child protection policies to putting together lesson plans to catechism, helpful for children's ministers and volunteers alike as they disciple children with the powerful message of the gospel.

Christian, are you aware of the signs of the time? Are you properly reading them? Or are you accepting what is taught without Holy Spirit revelation? This book is to help you investigate the whole of Scripture and not pull out a favorite verse, or the belief taught by your denomination, family, preacher, etc. It’s time to reevaluate what is believed. What do you believe? Why do you believe it? Were you taught it by man? Was it Holy Spirit revelation? You need to study God’s word to know whether what you hear is being interpreted in light of all Scripture, or if there’s error in the teaching which could lead you astray. It’s your responsibility to recognize false doctrine and not follow it. It’s imperative to pay attention to signs. Incorrect reading can lead to wreckage. Christ is not coming back for a lukewarm, compromising, deceived, or marshmallow bride. The bride of Christ will be those who have correctly read and understood the signs of the time as revealed in Scripture and have come through the refiner’s fire as gold!

Jesus made clear statements within the gospels that leading up to His return many will be deceived by false teachers who will present a different gospel to which was given to the Early Church. In this book Russell gives a chronological historical view of the antichrist spirit that has obscured the original understanding of Scripture. The Ante-Nicene Fathers' writings of the first 300 years of Church history have been deliberately suppressed to bolster political factions within the Church; many of the answers to denominational theological questions can be resolved in the study of the Ante-Nicene Fathers and their connection to the Disciples of Christ. They would have dealings with the Gnostic plague that would infect all denominations of the Christian faith and other world religions, many of the issues the Church is facing today are warning signs that were talked about by Jesus and the Early Church.Subjects include: Satan's chronology of deception, Divine Kingship, Infiltration of Greek Philosophy, Gnosticism, Pseudo writers, False eschatologies, Replacement theology, Spiritual elitism, Church liberalism, Cultism, Darwinism, Communism, Nazism, Capitalism and the building of a Gnostic Social World Order. Russell Jones is a Biblical apologist, having served 5 years as the State Co-ordinator of 'Answers in Genesis' (now known as C.M.I. Creation Ministries International) in Perth, Western Australia. He has a strong interest in Science and history, especially the question to the why, how and where the origin of various beliefs come from and who's telling the truth? This has also led him to the question why the Church today is so divided when the Bible is supposed to be their authority and reference map to God's plan to restore His fallen creation. Russell has found that many of the answers to denominational differences can be found within the suppressed writings of the Ante-Nicene Fathers, who were the first Biblical apologists and defenders of Christ's teaching of the first three hundred years.
