(John Beardsley – Truth With Snares) Pastors, please hear me out! Imagine a friend, a fellow pastor entrusted with a flock of the Lord’s sheep, who appears to be preaching a sound Gospel message and bringing more sheep into the fold. Day after day, he leads them into the presence of God, or so you believe, singing songs of praise. Perhaps the melodies were beautiful to your ears. The words sounded pure. The people were moved. The atmosphere felt holy… even sacred.
Then you decide to start using the same music, seeing the apparent success of your brother in leadership, and model your services in the same way and start to experience that success. Later, when the truth is revealed to you that the men and women who wrote the songs DO NOT bow to the same God as you – will you continue?
Consider: they are part of a system that denies the eternal Son, redefines the gospel, and promotes another Jesus. Despite this, the songs continued in your services week after week because they “sounded good” and “the people liked them.”
Now I ask: If you, Pastor, stood before the Throne of our Lord, would you boldly present those songs as worship to the Holy God of Israel, knowing the hand that wrote them does not confess the same Lord? – I believe NOT!
CRN has compiled a list of false teachers and several other professing Christians we’ve warned you about over the years.
