The Great Deception of American ChristianityThe Myth of Unconditional Eternal Security Part 3Last Week I covered Part 2 of the myth of unconditional eternal security. I pointed out that a believer does have eternal security in his salvation, but that his security is conditional. As long as the believer meets those conditions, he is secure in his salvation. Last week, I also discussed several more of the biblical exceptions to the doctrine of once saved, always saved. Today I am going to continue to discuss even more of those exceptions with part 3. If you missed last week or the week before and want to hear it, go to the Wilkins Radio Network...2024-09-2629 minThe Great Deception of American ChristianityThe Myth of Unconditional Eternal Security Part 2A common doctrine concerning salvation today is called “once saved, always saved.” The belief is that once someone has been saved, nothing can be done, either by an outside force or by the person himself, to cause him to lose his salvation. Some Scriptures, taken alone, seem to support this belief, while many other Scriptures seem to completely contradict this belief. So, it seems today that many, many preachers and Bible teachers are focusing on a few Scriptures which seem favorable to this doctrine, since it is popular, while completely ignoring the many, many other Scriptures that contradict the b...2024-09-2228 minThe Great Deception of American ChristianityThe Myth of Unconditional Eternal Security Part 1 Let me start out by saying that there is security for a believer in his salvation. But that security is conditional, not unconditional as is mostly taught today. Often in the Scriptures a promise is preceded or followed by an “if ”, or a “but”, or the condition to receive the promise is discovered by further study. A statement in the Scriptures that is taken by itself, (out of context) and not considered in the light of other Scriptures might lead someone to conclude that the promise has no conditions, when in fact it does in view of the rest of the B...2024-09-1528 minThe Great Deception of American ChristianityThe Myth of Grace vs WorksFor by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast. (Ephesians 2:8–9)
There are two kinds of works in the Bible.
1. Works of the law (religious works, good deeds, missions, church programs, rituals, ceremonies, rules, etc.) that will not save you.
2. Works of obedience (obeying God and His Word). Without these works of obedience to God and His Word, you cannot be saved.
Most grace teachers do not...2024-09-0827 minThe Great Deception of American ChristianityWhat happened to the True Gospel Part 2Last week I shared about the original true eternal gospel that has been around since the beginning and contrasted that to the modern gospel of today. Todays message is going to be part two of “what ever happened to the Gospel”? For your information, there are many different gospels around today, but there is really only one true gospel. I hope that what I am going to share with you today will stimulate your thinking and have you checking with the Lord and His word to see which gospel you have received. If you have the wrong gospel then you...2024-09-0228 minThe Great Deception of American ChristianityWhat Happened to the Original GospelThere is a tremendous difference between today's modern gospel and the gospel of the bible. The original gospel has been around since the beginning of the creation. It is an eternal gospel that was established before the foundations of the world and has never been changed by the Lord or His Word but has been greatly perverted by modern teachers. The true gospel has been watered down to satisfy men's desires to live according to the ways of the world while promising them freedom and salvation without a radical change in their lives.
This modern gospel takes...2024-08-2028 minThe Great Deception of American ChristianityThe Myth of the Paid Pastor Part 3Last week I spoke again about the myth of the paid pastor, and it was the second part of a three-part series. If you missed it, you can go to the Wilkins Radio Network website and click on programs and scroll down to Christian Myths and select “The Myth of the Paid Pastor Part 1 and part 2 and listen to it there. Also, there are other broadcasts there you may want to listen to as well including the myth of the tithe. Today I am going to continue with the Myth of the Paid Pastor part 3. It is important that yo...2024-08-1728 minThe Great Deception of American ChristianityThe Myth of the Paid Pastor Part 2 Paul was a preacher and a tent maker. Paul did not consider preaching to be a vocation. No one in the Bible had a vocation of preaching. Paul's vocation was making tents. He had freely received the gospel from the Lord, and for free, Paul preached it. Even though Paul had a right to eat food as a minister of the gospel, he did not exercise that right. That right was never about taking money or being paid as a preacher, but only about whether or not he would eat someone else's food. In fact, Paul did not eat...2024-08-1228 minThe Great Deception of American ChristianityThe Myth of the Paid Pastor Part 1Today I am going to discuss the subject of paying pastors from a biblical point of view vs the traditional practice. This will be the first of a three-part message on this subject since there is so much that needs to be said to draw a complete picture.
Last week I shared about the myth of the tithe and how the tithe has never had anything to do with money or the church. Today I want to question the motives behind pastors promote this old Jewish law that came into the church around 600ad by the Catholic...2024-08-0428 minThe Great Deception of American ChristianityThe Myth of the Tithe From the multitude of sermons on “tithing” you would get the impression that God had filled the Bible with hundreds of verses on paying the tithe to the church. But the fact is that there are fewer than twenty verses in the whole Bible that talk about the tithe and almost all of them are in the Old Testament and all of them are associated with the Old Testament Jewish law. It seems, with many pastors, that a tithing message comes up frequently as if that is one of the main things God has on His mind. Many Christians have...2024-07-2828 minThe Great Deception of American ChristianityWoe to the PastorsFor several weeks I have been sharing about the state of the American church and the various “easy believism” teachings being taught today. And how these easy believism teachings have given the typical church members a false sense of security believing that they will have unconditional eternal security concerning their salvation even though the American church is morally bankrupt and lives exactly like the world by practicing sin. These false messages have been promoted by our modern pastors who have watered down the gospel to make it more popular so they can tickle ears for the sake of numbers and...2024-07-2128 minThe Great Deception of American ChristianityJesus Came Looking for FruitMany teachers and preachers today are saying that Jesus did everything for us on His cross and there is nothing else we have to do to be saved except just believe in and accept Jesus. This statement suggests that if you do believe in Jesus and accept Him that you will be saved unconditionally and have eternal life no matter what you do after that and that nothing else is required for your salvation. These teachers sum up this “easy believism” in the statement “Jesus plus nothing”. This really sounds good and will certainly tickle ears, but is this all that...2024-07-1728 minThe Great Deception of American ChristianityThe Rapture Theory vs Scripture There are various teachings on the “rapture” today, but the most popular one says that “Christians” will be taken away first and those who remain will go through great tribulations and troubles here on earth. Since the term “rapture” does not appear in Scripture and since the doctrine of the modern “rapture” has only been around for a couple hundred years, it would be wise to see what the Bible says about it. Pay careful attention to the order in which the end of time unfolds. 2024-07-0728 minThe Great Deception of American ChristianityThe Doctrine of God vs Doctrine of SatanMost Christians today have no idea how to identify a false teacher or a false doctrine. It probably is because the churches in America are full of false teachings today because they are full of false teachers. This is a result of Satan influencing the church to adapt the ways of the world devising false teachings that make sin acceptable in the church and perverting grace into a license to sin. As a result, the gospel is presented as an easy “believism” message of faith plus nothing, as I covered last week, without the call to repentance of sin, with...2024-06-3028 minThe Great Deception of American ChristianityThe Myth of Easy BelievismBut false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will also be false teachers among you, who will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing swift destruction upon themselves. Many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of the truth will be maligned; and in their greed they will exploit you with false words; their judgment from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep. 2 Peter 2:1-3. These false words are words that create an easy "believism" message deceiving hearers into thinking that faith without action...2024-06-2328 minThe Great Deception of American ChristianityThe False Hyper-Grace of TodayThe grace of God has been turned into a license to sin by the modern Amercian Christian Church. The pastors love to tickle ears for their own personal gain of power, approval of man and the unjust gain of money. This false grace has mislead millions and caused said many other millions to go to hell. If you are practicing any known sin willfully, then you are not being saved by grace.2024-06-1528 minThe Great Deception of American ChristianityThe Traditions of MenThere are so many churches, so many denominations, so many doctrines, so many traditions and teachings of men. All of these divisions have mislead countless members to think they are saved by their participation in religious practices, when none of these have anything to do with salvation. In this podcast I challange everyone to check to see which gospel did you receive and which Jesus did you get and which spirit came with it. There is really only one church and only one gospel and only one true Jesus. Jesus is not a Baptist or Catholic or Methodist or...2024-06-0928 minThe Great Deception of American ChristianityMore About the Sinners PrayerThey tell you to just pray the sinner's prayer and you will be saved and go to heaven. Where in the Bible did anything like that ever happen or was anyone ever told to do such a thing. There are many times that men were told to seek God and told to turn from their sins and idols. They were told to bear fruit and endure to the end. They were warned and warned over and over again that sin would cause them to be separated from God. The teachings of men have reduced the requirments of salvation to...2024-06-0228 min

This leads to a conclusion that the church must be full of lost people who think they are saved. Lost people practice sin, that is their nature. The bible says that no one born again practices sin, so it is reasonable to conclude that if anyone is practicing sin, he must not be born again. In this podcast I go into three major reasons why the church is full of false converts who believe they are going to heaven. I also explain how some who actually were...2024-05-2728 minThe Great Deception of American ChristianityThe State of the UnionThe state of the union/the state of American=The State of the Chruch. There is coruption from the White House all the was done to the local county commission. How did America drift so far from the noble and decent and Christian country we once were. Is it not because our church leaders made various compromises with the world in previous generations. And didn't they do to please people rather than God? And didn't they please the people so they could keep their position of power and income? So, is not the church also corrupt today with there...2024-05-2628 minThe Great Deception of American ChristianityDeadliest Doctrine of All TimeAs I listened to a radio broadcast on Moody Radio this week, I was very disturbed by the false statement i heard. The speaker said that once we were saved that all of our sins of the past, all of our presents sins and all of the sins we will ever commit in the future are already forgiven. This statement is very misleading and terribly false. In this podcast I compare this statement with the words an old testament prophet, Jesus, Paul, Peter, James and again with Jesus from the book of Revelation. The truth is very evident once...2024-04-0734 minThe Great Deception of American ChristianityDenying SelfThe first requiement Jesus had for anyone who wished to follow Him was to deny self. Jesus will never share the throne of your hear with yourself. That is why He said that you have to lose you life in order to find it. Today's false gospel says otherwise. There are even tracks produced that picture a man's heart with self on the throne of his heart and Jesus de-throned lying beside the self throne. This is typical of todays modern gospel that teaches that you can keep your sin and selfishness and still go to heaven. But it...2024-03-3140 minThe Great Deception of American ChristianitySupercharged with Sexual LustAmerica and the American church is supercharged with sexual lust. It is now normal for most church members and pastors to be involved in pornography, adultery, fornication, homosexuality, incest, same-sex marriages, sex with children, prostitutes and virtually every other kind of sexual sin. As a result divorce is rampant in the church and familes are being torn apart with children scattered to the wind and souls are being lost by the thousands. All the while the pastors of the American church say little and do even less to address the porn epidemic or the moral decline of the church...2024-02-1841 minThe Great Deception of American ChristianityHave Ears to HearJesus said more than once for the one who had ears to hear let him hear. Obviously he wasn't talking about natural hearing but spiritual hearing. The world is falling apart, wars and rumors of wars, the government is corrupted from top to bottom, the educational system is corrupted from top to bottom and the church is corrrupted from top to bottom. We are certainly living the the last days and the coming of Jesus is eminent. Are you ready to meet Him? Is there any sin or idol you are holding onto? Do you have ears to hear...2024-02-0950 minThe Great Deception of American ChristianityThe World & SacrificeThe ways, the sins and ideology of the world has taken over America from our government, to our colleges, to our schools, to our politicans, to our social clubs, to the movie industry, to the music industry, to the social media, to television programing, to the local news stations and also to our American churches. What is even worse is that it has also prenetrated our so-called Christian schools and the thinking of most American Christians to some degree or the other. Not only have we lost the concept of holiness, simplicity and purity, but America and it's church...2023-11-2158 minThe Great Deception of American ChristianityWhat ever happened to Repentance?Virtually every time I hear the so-called gospel presented today, whether on the radio, on the internet, on “Christian” television or on a printed track the word repent or repentance is missing. Yet the words, the terms or the principles of repentance appear in the bible at least 200 times from the old testament throughout the new testament. Repentance always has been the only basis by which men could come to God and be forgiven for sin. Yet it obviously missing from the modern gospel presented today by almost every denomination and ministry.
2023-11-0531 minThe Great Deception of American ChristianityWhich Gospel did you Receive?There are many gospels and many spirits associated with many different denominations with each one having a different Jesus. There are also many different methods given to men to be saved. This podcast will challange the most common methods in modern Christianity used to "lead" people to Jesus. If you have been led to the wrong Jesus by a false method then you might be in danger of eternal destruction. Please listen with an open mind and see if you are being deceived by your church and/or pastor. Gal 1:8-10 But even if we, or an angel from...2023-10-1534 minThe Great Deception of American ChristianityWhen God Forsakes UsIt is commonly believed in American Christianity today that no matter what we do, that God will never forsake us. This comes from a few scriptures that are taken out of context and doesn't reveal the exceptions. Every promise of God has conditions and exceptions. The false teachers cherry pick scriptures out of context in order to tickle ears for personal gain of money and power to boost their careers. Their idea of success is in numbers, offerings and buildings for their own glory. Listen to this podcast and see if there are any Biblical reasons whey the Lord...2023-10-0837 minThe Great Deception of American ChristianityTrue Confession vs Worldly Sorrow
So, what does it mean to confess your sins? There at two kinds of confessions. Really only one kind of true confession and we can call the other kind---ADMISSION
Admission of sin and conviction of sin are not the same thing.
A godly sorrow comes when a person is convicted of sin in their heart by the Holy Spirit, and they are humbled, grieved and broken over their sin and will do anything they can to get free from that sin. This kind of godly sorrow leads to repentance without regret because it...2023-10-0124 minThe Great Deception of American ChristianityThe Greatest CommandmentThe scriptures are clear about it being necessary to love God with all your heart and to love your neighbor as yourself or you cannot enter eternal life. In this podcast I break down some of what it means to love God with all your heart since it does not seem clear to many who claim to love God what it means. Love is not just words but is a heart issue. Worship is not something you do from time to time at a building but is something you do all the time from the heart. If you don't...2023-09-0358 minThe Great Deception of American ChristianityBy Way of ReminderWe need to remember how blessed we are and not dwell on the things of the past. We need not be ungrateful for what God has done for us and not be jealous of others who may seem to do better. We should never compare ourselves with others. We should be reminded to keep our minds on things above and not on this earth. Also we need being reminded that our past sins are removed as far as the east is from the west and we should be moving forward to overcoming. Things like hurt feelings, bitterness, self-pity, grudges...2023-07-1655 minThe Great Deception of American ChristianityFour Main PointsThis is a message delivered to our local church by Don Britton. The first point is about the need for unity in the body and how the people of God should be on one mind, one heart, one voice and walk in agreement. The second point focuses on the "self" problem, being selfish and discussing serveral of the self issues like self-centered, self-pity, self-willed, etc. and how we are called to deny ourself and take up our cross and follow Jesus. The third point is about walking in the light with no deception, no hiding, no game playing, no...2023-07-091h 11The Great Deception of American ChristianityCorrection in the Body of ChristThis podcast explains why we need correction in the church. Most pastors and elders today will never correct a member who is living in sin because their goal is to keep up church attendance and offerings. The true bride of Christ will confront and correct and even rebuke one who is sinning and will remove that member from the church if they are not repentant of their sin. The false bride spoils her children by allowing them to do as they please without any correction or rebuke for their sin. This is why the modern American church is so...2023-07-0257 min

We were warned long ago that there would be false signs and wonders in the last days that could deceive even the elect. It was foretold that Satan would come with all power to do great signs and wonders. That includes false miracles, false healings, false manifestations and false tongues. Jesus warned us-----"For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as...2023-04-0943 minThe Great Deception of American ChristianityFalse Gospel Produces False ConvertsFalse conversions from Sinner's Prayers. The sinner's prayer was invented just a little over a hundred years ago and was never used by anyone in the Bible. Why didn't Jesus just lead the rich young ruler in a simple “sinner's prayer” and then tell him he had eternal life? Why didn't Jesus just tell the man to ask Jesus into his heart? Why did Jesus say that it was so hard for a rich man to be saved if all he had to do was pray the “sinner's prayer”? That is what the vast majority of today's ministers would hav...2023-04-0238 minThe Great Deception of American ChristianityFalse Prophets are Here TodayModern day false prophets are here now. This podcast will go further on exposing false prophets by explaining how to identify a false prophet or a destructive heresy. After stating in the previous podcast that one of the major reasons for the church being full of sin is because of the falsehoods being spoken by modern prophets, pastors and teachers, I go on to expand my message to explain more of why this is true and how to identify a false prophet or a destructive heresy. I also compared some of the modern prophesies I have heard on recent...2023-03-2631 minThe Great Deception of American ChristianityDo You Have the Image of Jesus or Something Else?There are many religious Images to be had. No image we take on will allow us to enter heaven except for the Image of Jesus Christ. Since American Christianity is divided up into more than a thousand denominations there are as many images that one could be conformed into. The only image we should be conformed into is the image of Jesus Christ. Today we have many, many denominations all claiming to be of Christ (Christian). Each one is different in spirit, in practice and in doctrine. The problem is that if you start going to “brand X” denomination you...2023-03-1929 minThe Great Deception of American ChristianityWorship in Spirit and TruthEntertainment has replaced true worship. I will examine why the modern church has redefined worship as something that is done in a certain location at a certain time. To be clear, worship is not about singing or making music. Singing is singing, and music is music. Worship is about what your heart goes after and the god you serve from within. If your god is money, you don't gather people around you and get a band of musical instruments together to make music and sing songs about money in order to worship the god of money, do you? O...2023-03-1251 minThe Great Deception of American ChristianityFalse Prophets & False MiraclesJesus warned us of false signs and wonders. Jesus told us that in the last days that Satan would come with all power producing false signs and wonders. Let us be honest with ourselves. If God has granted Satan power to perform false signs and wonders to deceive, then could Satan heal someone through a false prophet or work some other kind of miracle? Doesn't Satan come as an angel of light? How does he come as an angel of light? Is it not through a preacher or a ministry that appears to do good? But is that ministry...2023-03-0547 minThe Great Deception of American ChristianityThree Feet from GoldDuring the gold rush of the 1800's a man named Darby and his uncle went to Colorado to find gold. They staked their claim and began to dig with pick and shovel. They soon discovered a vein of gold and were very confident that they would become rich. So, they covered up their find and went back home to family and friends and borrowed enough money to buy the equipment needed to properly mine the gold. Upon returning they did recover more and more gold. They sent a few carts of ore to the smelter and just knew they...2023-02-261h 01The Great Deception of American ChristianityPastors and Prophets are Telling Lies TodayThere are Many False Pastors and Prophets. This podcast will reveal how these modern pastors and prophets are one of the major reasons the church is full of sin. After proving in earlier podcasts that the church is full of sin and practicing sinners, I have also given many reasons why the church is in the condition of moral decay from previous podcasts. In this podcast, I will expose the biggest reason the church is full of sin. It is because of the pastors, prophets, evangelists and teachers who are speaking lies. These modern ministers are mostly giving ear...2023-02-1923 minThe Great Deception of American ChristianityThe Past, Love & SimplicityWe have begun a new year. Have we taken to heart the things the Lord has taught us last year or the previous years? We are instructed to not dwell on our past hurts, abuses, pains, dissappointments or our past sins if we have repented and been forgiven. We are to keep our minds on thing above and to remember how God has brought us to where we are today and to keep our hope before us for our eternal future.

Are you ready to face the Almighty God, the God who knows and sees everything you have every said or done and knows your heart from the inside in spite of how you present yourself on the outside. So, what will the day of the Lord be to you? Have you really thought about it? "For the...2023-02-0545 minThe Great Deception of American ChristianityPastors Living Like KingsFalse pastors living a soft easy lifestyle. In this podcast I am going to talk with about the king principle and how it works in most pastors and preachers today. Paid preachers love being called “Pastor” or “Doctor” or “Reverend”, just like the Pharisees loved to be called “Rabbi.” They love the respectful greetings wherever they go. If these men didn't want to be honored this way, they would not let people use special titles in place of their name or give them special honor. Paul was an apostle, but his name was Paul not apostle Paul.

The internet, televesion, computers, smart phones, social media, movies, music, sports, video games and man-made religion all are being used by the god of this world, Satan, to distract us away from the one and only true and living God. Satan is going about like a roaring lion...2023-01-2252 minThe Great Deception of American ChristianityThe Lie of the TitheDo Christians have to tithe? This podcast will examine what the tithe is and what its purpose was. This question will be answered concerning the church and tithing. After examining the scriptures, it is obvious that the modern teachings on tithing are nothing more than falsehood. They are teachings of men that have been handed down to us for the purposes of men. This tradition has robbed many widows and poor people by extorting money from them, money they often could not afford to pay, by preachers who falsely teach that they must obey the “Law”, or they will be c...2023-01-1526 minThe Great Deception of American ChristianityEvidence of the Holy SpiritMany Christians are deceived into thinking that evidence of the Holy Spirit is connected to supernatural spiritual gifts like prophesy or tongues. The Biblical evidence teaches otherwise. No one can bear fruit without power. The evidence of the indwelling of the Holy Spirit is shown by the power of the fruit of the Holy Spirit in the person's life, not in signs and wonders. The evidence of the Holy Spirit is not speaking in tongues as some have said it is or in the supernatural gifts. In fact, not everyone speaks in tongues any more than any one person...2023-01-0845 minThe Great Deception of American ChristianityPower + Money = CorruptionThe clergy of today are like the Nicolaitans. The Nicolaitans were those who taught and practiced that the ministers of God were superior and were to be elevated about the flock. The doctrine of the Nicolaitans was created by those who claimed to have a superior status over the laity of the Church; the laity was the rest of the household of God. This doctrine created a division between the people of God known as the clergy-laity divide and prevented the doctrine of the “priesthood of all believers” from being practiced in the Church then and continues today. Those who...2023-01-0149 minThe Great Deception of American ChristianityGifts of the Holy SpiritNot all signs come from the Holy Spirit. We live in dangerous times with many false signs and wonders resulting in many manifestations of spiritual gifts also being false. The word of knowledge is simply speaking what you know about something. In the context of edification, it is speaking what you know about the Lord, His Word and His will. When you see a “prophet” on TV or in a meeting, saying that he senses that someone out there has pain in their left leg or that someone just lost their job and God is about to give them a be...2022-12-2650 minThe Great Deception of American ChristianityThe Signs and Wonders MovementSigns and wonders don't lead to salvation. The true gospel is the POWER that leads to a transformed life. Signs, healings, wonders and prophesies are not the power that saves. Jonah preached repentance at Nineveh and about 120,000 people, the entire population repented and were saved without any signs and wonders being performed, just from the power of the gospel, the Word of God spoken. More than 50 times in the NT, Jesus or the apostles told people to believe the gospel and to repent in order to be saved. They never told anyone to believe in miracles to be saved...2022-12-1954 minThe Great Deception of American ChristianityHave You Left Your First Love?Most Christians have become lukewarm. America has transitioned from being a Christian nation to a secular and godless country and the church paved the way for this to happen. As a country, America has certainly left her first love. Originally, America was a place for religious freedom and independence from oppression and a place of freedom to worship and serve God. Men came here from across the ocean leaving everything behind in hopes of escaping the persecution from the powerful and oppressive churches of Europe like the Catholic church or the church of England who were all powerful and...2022-12-1135 minThe Great Deception of American ChristianityThe Past, Love & SimplicityThere is a false concept today today that teaches that in order to get over your past you have to keep revisiting it, dealing with it, talking about it and working through it in order to be healed of the abuses, pains, wrongs, sins, and dissappointments caused by others or done by you in the past. But according to the Word of God our past is hidden in Christ and our sins are removed as far as the east is from the west and God does not remember our past sins or our past hurts anymore because if we...2022-12-041h 01The Great Deception of American ChristianityThe Three Most Deadly SinsThree of the most-deadly sins abound today. All sin is deadly, but three particular sins stand out as possibly more dangerous because of the type of strongholds they produce. Often when we think of the most terrible sins, the most disgusting sins, the most-deadly sins that someone can have, we usually think of somebody else's sins, other than our own sins. The Pharisees in their self-righteousness viewed the tax collectors and the prostitutes as being the most disgusting of all sinners while they viewed themselves as righteous because they didn't do what those “sinners” did. But the truth is that...2022-11-2742 minThe Great Deception of American ChristianityThe Dangers of Social MediaThe wrong kind of connections are dangerous. Today's social media platforms offer a false sense of reality but mostly leave the participant with an empty and meaningless experience. Social media “seems” to fill the need to be connected, the need to be accepted and the need of belonging to something greater than ourselves. But at the end of the day it is mostly meaningless because it only offers feelings without any purpose. After one has connected with a thousand other people on Facebook or looked at 500 images on snapchat or Instagram, they have not really accomplished anything meaningful. Even thou...2022-11-2030 minThe Great Deception of American ChristianityAre you ready? Part TwoWhat if you are not ready? Most American Christians are no where near ready to meet the Lord. The practice of sin, love of idols and false teachings have left them unprepared. Not only are we commanded to be ready, but we are told by Jesus and the apostles what it takes to be ready. But for the most part their warnings are ignored today and have been replaced with an easy and false way to heaven. The false prophets teach that it is no longer necessary to bear your own cross or give up your old life to...2022-11-1359 minThe Great Deception of American ChristianityAre you Ready?Be ready when the Lord Returns! Most Christians today think that they are ready to meet the Lord when He returns, but according to the condition of the church, they are not ready. The foolish virgins in Matthew chapter seven belonged to the Lord. They were his own virgins but when He came called for them enter the wedding chambers, they were not ready because they were out of oil for their lamps. This is the condition of the American Church today, millions of members whose lamps are out of oil. Oil is like the Holy Spirit that convicts...2022-11-0649 minThe Great Deception of American ChristianityThe Corruption of the ClergyThe clergy of today are the Nicolaitans. The Nicolaitans were those who taught and practiced that the ministers of God were superior and were to be elevated about the flock. The doctrine of the Nicolaitans was created by those who claimed to have a superior status over the laity of the Church; the laity was the rest of the household of God. This doctrine created a division between the people of God known as the clergy-laity divide and prevented the doctrine of the “priesthood of all believers” from being practiced in the Church then and continues today. Those who foll...2022-10-3049 minThe Great Deception of American ChristianityThe Barren Fig TreeToday's American Christians are typically barren of fruit. There is a great misunderstanding concerning the difference in bearing the fruit of God vs church activities. If we are to be the good tree firmly planted by streams of water (living water) and a tree that bears fruit in its season and whose leaf does not wither, then we must avoid the counsel of the world and not stand in the same path that sinners walk in and make sure we don't sit in the seat of scoffers but delight ourselves in the Word of the Lord and mediate on...2022-10-2456 minThe Great Deception of American ChristianityThey Entice by Fleshly DesiresFalse prophets entice by fleshly desires. They promise freedom, salvation, and prosperity while they themselves are slaves of corruption with greed for money and power. False prophets arose among the people before and they are among you and me today. They introduce destructive heresies. A destructive heresy is any teaching that causes you to feel safe and heaven bound, while you are either lukewarm, passive, worldly minded, greedy, unforgiving, selfish, barren of fruit, disobedient or just living in sin. Today's American church is saturated with all of these spiritual conditions and more. It is partly because the pastors are...2022-10-1638 minThe Great Deception of American ChristianityOnly a Few Will Really be SavedJesus said only a few would enter life. The impression left by today's pastors, prophets, evangelists and teachers is that most people in church are on the way to heaven. It seems that here in the “Bible belt” of the south, that most everyone claims to be a “Christian.” There are approximately 43 million Baptists worldwide as well as 1.2 billion Catholics, 66 million Lutherans and many more millions of Pentecostals and Charismatics. And a large percentage of those numbers are here in America, especially here in the south. That is only considering a few of the major denominations. If you includ...2022-10-0938 minThe Great Deception of American ChristianityFather’s Day DisappointmentMany Fathers have failed their children. We have a whole generation of men who have not been the spiritual leader in their home and have forsaken their duty as fathers. Today the children of so-called Christian men are falling away from what is called the faith, at an alarming rate. Most of these kids go to college and then buy into the world's philosophy of humanism. Even when these kids were still at home and attending church, they were doubtful about Christianity because they saw so little reality in it as it is today. They see how their parents...2022-10-0234 minThe Great Deception of American ChristianityThe Doctrine of God vs the Doctrine of SatanSatan has confused reality with false doctrines. Most people in American Christianity today have no idea how to tell the difference between the doctrines of God vs the devil. Let us consider the nature of false doctrine and true doctrine. Satan is behind all false doctrine and God is behind all true doctrine. God has called us all to repentance, righteousness, holiness, forsaking this world, obedience, faith, love, hope, loving him with all our heart, loving our neighbor as ourselves, taking up our own cross, denying self, fearing God, enduring to the end, etc., etc. God has said over...2022-09-2440 minThe Great Deception of American ChristianityThe Day of the LordWhat does the coming of Jesus mean to you? For the masses, even most who think they are going to go to heaven, it will be a terrible day of judgment for them. My question for you is this, are you ready? Are you ready to face the Almighty God, the God who knows and sees everything you have every said or done and knows your heart from the inside in spite of how you present yourself on the outside. So, what will the day of the Lord be to you? Have you really thought about it? "For the...2022-09-1845 minThe Great Deception of American ChristianityThe Evidence of the Holy SpiritMany Christians are deceived into thinking that evidence of the Holy Spirit is connected to supernatural gifts. The Biblical evidence says otherwise. No one can bear fruit without power. The evidence of the indwelling of the Holy Spirit is shown by the power of the fruit of the Holy Spirit in the person's life, not in signs and wonders. The evidence of the Holy Spirit is not speaking in tongues as some have said it is or in the supernatural gifts. In fact, not everyone speaks in tongues any more than any one person has every other spiritual gift...2022-09-1145 minThe Great Deception of American ChristianityWhat Happened to the Men of God?The Lord appointed men to lead, teach, protect and to provide for their families. We now have a generation of men who are lazy and passive. When I say lazy and passive, I mean in the responsibility of engaging with their wives and children in meaningful conversations and teaching them the ways of God. Most men do go to work at a job and bring home a paycheck but their contribution to the family usually stops there. The men of this generation have given up their God called duty of teaching and guiding their family over to the broken...2022-09-0425 minThe Great Deception of American ChristianityFalse Signs and Wonders of the Last DaysJesus warned us of false signs and wonders. Jesus told us that in the last days that Satan would come with all power producing false signs and wonders. Let us be honest with ourselves. If God has granted Satan power to perform false signs and wonders to deceive, then could Satan heal someone through a false prophet or work some other kind of miracle? Doesn't Satan come as an angel of light? How does he come as an angel of light? Is it not through a preacher or a ministry that appears to do good? But is that ministry...2022-08-2841 minThe Great Deception of American ChristianityWhat Image are you Being Conformed Into?There are many religious Images to be had. No image we take on will allow us to enter heaven except for the Image of Jesus Christ. Since American Christianity is divided up into more than a thousand denominations there are as many images that one could be conformed into. The only image we should be conformed into is the image of Jesus Christ. Today we have many, many denominations all claiming to be of Christ (Christian). Each one is different in spirit, in practice and in doctrine. The problem is that if you start going to “brand X” denomination you...2022-08-2129 minThe Great Deception of American ChristianityThe Deception of the RaptureSo, where did the rapture doctrine come from? It all started with a woman named Margaret MacDonald in 1830. She gave a “prophesy” concerning end times. Her “prophesy” was written down and later published in 1840 and again in 1861. From this “prophesy” a man named John Nelson Darby began to promote the concept of the rapture “theory” and it began to become popular. C. I. Scofield, a well-known theologian of the late 1800s and early 1900s, liked the rapture theory and began to include it in his annotated Bibles, and from there, it became widely popular in most American churches. So, this is a new an...2022-08-1427 minThe Great Deception of American ChristianityFalse Teachers Cause False ConversionsFalse conversions come from using the Sinner's Prayers. The sinner's prayer was invented just a little over a hundred years ago and was never used by anyone in the Bible. Why didn't Jesus just lead the rich young ruler in a simple “sinner's prayer” and then tell him he had eternal life? Why didn't Jesus just tell the man to ask Jesus into his heart? Why did Jesus say that it was so hard for a rich man to be saved if all he had to do was pray the “sinner's prayer”? That is what the vast majority of today's...2022-08-0738 minThe Great Deception of American ChristianityFalse Grace Taught by False TeachersToday's modern gospel is being presented by a new “hyper-grace” giving believers a false sense of security while they live in sin. Almost none of the grace teachers today distinguish between these two kinds of works (works of the law vs works of obedience) and teach that any effort on your part to be saved is wrong because they say that Jesus “did everything for you”. They teach that any kind of effort on your part is just an attempt at “works” salvation and they teach that faith alone in Jesus will save you. I have even heard one preacher on...2022-07-3141 minThe Great Deception of American ChristianityFalse Pastors and Prophets Living Like KingsFalse pastors living a soft easy lifestyle. In this podcast I am going to talk with about the king principle and how it works in most pastors and preachers today. They love the honor of men and the unjust gain they receive from the members who work for a living. They are acting more like kings and princes than like humble servants of the people and of God. Kings live a life of ease, exalting themselves above the rest of the people and taking what they need from the people, so it is with todays pastors, prophets and ministry “le...2022-07-2442 minThe Great Deception of American ChristianityFalse Teachers are Teaching and Practicing False WorshipEntertainment has replaced true worship. I will examine why the modern church has redefined worship as something that is done in a certain location at a certain time. To be clear, worship is not about singing or making music. Singing is singing, and music is music. Worship is about what your heart goes after and the god you serve from within. If your god is money, you don't gather people around you and get a band of musical instruments together to make music and sing songs about money in order to worship the god of money, do you? O...2022-07-1751 minThe Great Deception of American ChristianityHow Much Should a Pastor be Paid?Is it Biblical for preachers to be paid? If so, why and how much should they be paid? If not why not, and what does the scripture say about this question? This podcast will examine this question from the scriptures and reveal what God has always required of His ministers. I can assure you that it will not be what is traditionally practiced or believed. www.christianmyths.org2022-07-1139 minThe Great Deception of American ChristianityToday’s shepherds are destroying God’s sheep.Who really came to steal, kill and destroy?

There is a certain mentality going around today in the American Church that the devil is the cause of every negative thing that happens to us as Christians. Today, I am going to go further on the topic of false shepherds who are misleading God's sheep. Another one of the Great Deceptions today that comes from the false teachers is that the devil is the cause of all your problems. They say that the devil can make you sick, ruin your finances, bring curses on you, destroy your marriage, cause many other serious...2022-06-1933 minThe Great Deception of American ChristianityWhy False Prophets Don’t Rebuke SinnersMany False Prophets, But Few True Prophets. There are multitudes of false prophets predicted by Jesus to be arising in the last days. Jesus also predicted that multitudes of people would be deceived by these false prophets. If the message is only about blessings, healings, prosperity, wealth and earthy things, while not addressing the sin and spiritual condition of the person, he is a false prophet. If he is taking your money for ministering to you, he is a false prophet. God has always sent his messengers to give instruction of His will, warnings of wrong-doing and a message...2022-06-1135 minThe Great Deception of American ChristianityFalse Prophets, False Pastors and False Teachers are Everywhere TodayModern day false prophets are here now!

This podcast examines the moral condition of the modern American Church and concludes that the modern American Christian church is full of sin. The fact is that there is virtually no difference in the morals of the American Church than that of those who make no claim to Christianity. There is just as much adultery, fornication, pornography, divorce, gossip and any other sin in the American Church as in the rest of the world around it. Therefore the American Church is morally bankrupt and has no power to influence the world for good anymore.2022-05-1532 minThe Great Deception of American ChristianityThe Myth of Paid PastorsHow Much Should a Pastor be Paid?
