“God will bring those He wants to hear the truth, to us. Yes, we go into the world. Yes, we plead, ‘send me!’ But we don’t associate with false teachers to do it. We don’t abandon our position because of a feeling and go chasing waves. Waves subside. The Gospel doesn’t. The naive newbie, the seeking heart, the unsure penitent needs to know where there is a clear line between truth and false.”
(Elizabeth Prata – The End Time) In this post, I discuss the importance of maintaining theological integrity and not compromising the Gospel despite cultural moments that seem to indicate a softening or readiness for the Gospel. I critique Alisa Childers’ self-announced shift towards softening her stance on not associating with false teachers and indicating she may now do so in the future, if asked. I state that this undermines credibility and dilutes the message of Christ. We need clear separation from falsehood in ministry.
When hundreds of thousands gather to hear testimonials and speeches honoring a departed Christian’s life and they hear the Gospel, hope rises in the weary heart.
We have seen the recent outpouring of emotion and the fervent desire of countless Christians to see people come to faith. It’s what we are here on earth for. It’s what glorifies Jesus. It’s the whole point.
We all feel it. We all want a modern-day Pentecost.
CRN has compiled a list of false teachers and several other professing Christians we’ve warned you about over the years. The list also contains those we must keep an eye on plus movements, organizations and “frauds, phonies and money-grubbing religious quacks” to mark and avoid as per Romans 16:17-18
