More Nicolaitan Nonsense

  by glennchristopherson     Friends of mine have recently been stood down from ministry. Their crime: doing a good deed without the pastors permission. This is one more example of the tsunami of Nicolaitan nonsense which is engulfing the institutional church. In case you need reminding, the Nicolaitan heresy was exposed and rejected  several times by […]

A Warning From Lighthouse Trails

  I have written repeatedly in the past about how the end-time delusion, predicted in the Bible, is no longer a prediction, but a reality.  Lighthouse Trails has been a valuable source of documented evidence, warning those who are concerned about the dismal failure of organized Christianity, spreading the light of truth in print and […]

How Does the Cross Offend?

For the better part of my thirty plus years of calling myself a Christian I never comprehended or understood what was meant by the “offence of the Cross.” it seemed to me that this “offence” was an overstatement.

Fit For the Master’s Use

from Be thus Minded… by Pearl Have you heard of Helen Roseveare?  I hadn’t until I came across a book of hers called Living Sacrifice.  She was a medical missionary in Zaire from 1953 to 1973.  Her story is a remarkable one.   Not so much for the adventures she experienced in Africa, but more because […]

Free Speech, Conspiracy theories, Fundamentalists and the End Times.

from Embassy of Prayer by glennchristopherson I’ve noted several times in previous posts my belief that as we draw close to the end of the age, Biblically literate Christians (and those who are just paying attention) will be sidelined and discounted as conspiracy theorists and fundamentalists. Occurrences of this very thing are increasing exponentially. Kevin […]

Blind In One Eye

Right up front I want to say that I have a great amount of respect for all those who are fighting to expose this end time religious delusion that is sweeping across the face of the planet.   But, the fact is that if we fail to see how we, ourselves, have also been defrauded […]

Little children, keep yourselves from idols

from Embassy of Prayer by glennchristopherson The Apostle John finishes his first letter with these words (1 John 5:21) “Little children, keep yourselves from idols” At first glance this instruction seems to be out of place, but on further reflection it becomes clear, this is actually a summary of all that had been written before.

Holiness

Posted on October 16, 2010 by glennchristopherson In the days when I was an “official” preacher a fellow minister asked what I was preaching lately. “Holiness”, I replied. His answer surprised me. “I would never go to a church that preaches holiness” Sort of taken aback I stated, “Well, I would never go to a […]
