A Consequence of Cessationism

Whether or not the Holy Spirit continues to give gifts to the Church today is not an “agree to disagree” issue. We should think about it like this: approximately 50% of the Body of Christ are believing/teaching error that both displeases the Lord but also hamstrings the Church.

I enjoyed watching this sermon from John MacArthur yesterday but in his handling of several passages of Scripture he failed to address the unfaithfulness of the Church. THIS is the question of the moment and it is no surprise to me that cessationist men of the stature and quality of MacArthur are failing to hit the nail on the head — instead they’re in effect skimming the nail with a hammer so as to knock it in but knock it in all askew.

“Though Socinianism and popery at present appear mutually aloof, they will in process of time form a mighty confluence, that will burst all bounds and bring everything to a crisis. We may expect it in the following way.— The residue of heavenly influence on the professing church, as a body, will have utterly evaporated, it’s holy things having been already more and more prostituted to the spirit of this world. The Holy Spirit being thus withdrawn from the camp at large, the world will deem its own victory and triumph secured. Now, therefore, a spirit of liberal Latitudinarianism will prevail everywhere, — a notion that everyone may be right in his own way of thinking, and consequently that all is well with the Jew, the Turk, and the pagan. Ideas of this kind will wonderfully prepare men for embracing the false prophet.”

Coronating Sacrilege 👑

Worse than the Royal wedding and whorish mule of 2018, like a pig placed to wallow in a Hebrew temple was the Catholic coronating ceremony in Westminster this morning.

Two moments in particular made me sick; one that made me weep:

  1. When the man, Ian Greenshields, the current Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, presented King Charles with a Bible. A man who denies the gospel of the Bible, who defies the Lamb of God Who was slain, who feigns Christian worship and leads many astray, presented the new King of England with a new Bible that neither of them believe or honour. Like Judas kissing Yeshua in Gethsemane was that kissing of the Book of God.
  2. When the heretic man, Justin Welby, the current Archbishop of Canterbury, “anointed” King Charles with “holy oil”. While Handel’s anointed masterpiece, Zadok the Priest, shook the ancient rafters of Westminster Abbey, the mockery of the Holy Spirit was the overwhelming epitome of sacrilege.

May God have mercy on all these actors — all those in the background as well as the limelight — in the fall-out of this sacrilegious farce of cosmic proportion.

This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

Matthew 15:8-9 KJV

It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God

Hebrews 10:31 KJV

The Glorious Few: Redeeming Radicalisation
in the Kingdom of God

The Word of the LORD

When magazines from the biggest para-church organisations in the country (ie Christian Concern) come through our doors, we must exercise discernment. I’ve personally warned Andrea Williams about Christian Concern’s promotion of the NAR error, but she would not listen.

Redeeming Radicalisation in the Kingdom of God

“Islamic extremists blow-up our teenagers, our elected governments teach our children about the benefits of pornography and prominent church leaders say nothing biblical about abortion and transgenderism.”

Beginning with Saul’s dramatic transformation from Christian-hater to radical disciple, The Glorious Few leads the reader on a journey through the de-radicalised Church to discover what radical discipleship really means.

Nick Franks reflects on the counterfeit process by which Islamic terrorists are radicalised and what this spiritual forgery teaches us about the Holy Spirit and His preparation of the Church for the return of Christ.

Using scriptural study, extensive research and personal testimony, The Glorious Few is ultimately a heart-felt cry for national repentance and the Bride of Christ to be straightened out in preparation for the return of Jesus.
