John,

Your teaching today was such an eye-opener, regarding the truths contained in the writings of Hebrews.

The relationship between Father and the Son is so OBVIOUS!! And the facts about salvation are OBVIOUS!!

It’s perplexing to see how the insidiousness of Christianity has stolen true hope from the hearts of seekers, so that they barely stand a chance, once they’re ensnared in the web. The confusion surrounding “saved” vs “conversion” is truly Satan’s greatest masterpiece; an accomplishment that grieves my heart day in and day out. The Slanderer replaced hope with “you’re saved now.” And millions have bought into it; hook, line and sinker.

There is a blind arrogance, that, once conceived and established in a believer, robs the truth from that person’s heart, and robs the fear of God, certainly, as well, from their heart, so that they cannot grow in the knowledge of the truth. It’s as if they are stillborn. They stop growing spiritually, yet on the outside it may seem as if they are reformed and born-again. Christianity enables many to act as if they are living right, while never having actually experienced forgiveness from God, via the new birth. It is a religion built on “faith alone,” compounded by forms and rituals and phrases that make it all seem so good and pure. . . and pious. Ohh, what a whitewashed facade!!

The “pearl” of the day comments on this: A person can be reformed, without being cleansed from sin. Their behavior makes them seem to be changed, but on the inside. . . well, you know.

I’m always perplexed by Christians whose lives seem to be truly changed by the power of God, and they give Jesus the credit (they claim unashamedly to be disciples of the Lord), yet they embrace an organization that teaches against THE POWER of God.

I am constantly humbled and elated by the truth. And I am grateful.

Thank-you for getting together this morning and teaching this.

In appreciation,
Brad

PS

How ANGRY I feel, that so many of our brothers and sisters are believing that lie. After all, God “saved” me from that Thing, and it is discouraging that Satan has robbed us from having fellowship with those dear ones who are still IN THAT THING!!!!!!! That steams me!!!!!! Is that a sin to feel this way? I hope not.

Hey John,

Seeing the power of God on our children (all of them) tonight has left me in awe of God’s goodness. He has truly done more than we could even think to ask for. He is better than we can imagine. Every touch from him and every time I see his power on someone makes me want to truly know him and his power more and more. It is really all that is important in this life. When I left tonight I could hardly speak. (I am trying now but I can’t get out how I feel)

When the glory of God was on the children tonight God asked me a question. “If one of these little children began to prophesy would you be humble enough to believe it?” I could only say, “I think so Lord, but if I am not, please fix me.”

I do not know what God has in store for us around the corner but I sure do want to be in my place when it comes.

Thank you for being who you are, hearing from God and passing it on.

comments: nos alegra tanto el poder ver los cultos que ustedes realizan,en chile tambien estamos buscando màs y màs de la hermosa presencia de nuestro SEÑOR,sabemos que su Espiritu Santo lo esta llenando todo,preparandonos para ese dia glorioso de su venida.Nosotros vivimos en una ciudad llamada Quilpuè en la provincia de Valparaìso donde ocurriò a comienzos del 1900 un gran avivamiento. Esperamos uno mayor para toda esta naciòn que tanto lo necesita. Reciban las màs ricas bendiciones, que EL SEÑOR les sea dando y dando màs abundamente de lo que pidan o deseen ya que como dice en Santiago 4:5 “EL ESPIRITU NOS ANHELA CELOSAMENTE” les amamos aun sin conocerles ,orando los unos por los otros.

Translation (by Manny J.):

She says that they rejoice greatly in watching your services, she says that in Chile they are also seeking for the glorious presence of our lord, and says that she knows that His presence is filling up all, getting is ready for that glorious day of his coming. We live in quilpue in the state of Valparaiso where there was a big revival in the biginning of 1900. We await for a bigger one for this nation that much need it. May the lord bless you richly and give you the desires of your heart. Like the lord says on James 4.5… We love you even though do not know you. Pray the ones for the others.

Hey

On Sunday Tom drove us to the “Falls of the Ohio”. It was a fascinating sight though we could not go down to the fossil beds. Later, telling Bob about it, Bob mentioned that there were Roman coins found on the site that were in the museum (which I did not enter on Sunday.) Curious, I looked up what could be found on-line concerning these coins. One page is at http://www.econ.ohio-state.edu/jhm/arch/coins/fallsoh.htm

A couple of things on this page were also curious, namely, the other coins found in Kentucky and a Mexican artifact. While uncertainty will always surround such discoveries I was even more fascinated by a comment on the web page above. It reads,

For several years, the Falls of the Ohio Museum had an exhibit about the find that displayed several casts of both sides of the two originals, so as to reflect the approximate number of coins originally in the hoard. The two original coins, depicted above, are in storage and were not on public display. McCormick has informed me that the exhibit has recently been removed from public display, because the Museum belongs to the state of Indiana, and the exhibit conflicted with the state’s archaeological policy that there is no documented evidence of pre-Columbian contacts.”

So they don’t display possible evidence of pre-Columbian contact because there is no evidence of such contacts. And what is an “archaeological policy????”

To me that is just strange but it doesn’t surprise me. I know that in Australia “inconvenient” archaeological investigations have been shut down as a result of Aborigines objecting to them. The underlying problem for the Aborigines is that some see evidence that the so-called “Tasmanian Aborigines” were a distinct group of people whom the current-day Aborigines wiped out on the mainland. This undermines the “victim” status that some among the Aborigines cultivate very carefully to their material advantage.

Anyway, it is just another pointer into what goes on in science. In history and archaeology it has often seemed to me that modern scholars first spend their efforts in debunking what primary sources exist so that they can then build academic careers interpreting secondary and tertiary sources. I suspect that geology and evolution is another area full of such things.

P.S. I happened to flick on the TV Sunday morning to see a British historian discussing some major Roman architectural achievements – triple arch aqueducts and the “Baths of Caracalla” were shown in that segment. The historian was speaking about the motivation behind constructions such as the baths (which were available to the general population) was the desire for glory, honor and an enduring fame. It was neat to hear a scholar saying just what we had read about the previous evening.

Hi Damien:

There is no doubt in my mind whatsoever that such archaeological policies as you mentioned above can be found in every discipline, including theological. There is no telling what really has been discovered by archaeologists around the world but has not been released to the public because those finds contradict accepted doctrines and theories.

Hi, Pastor John:

I listened to the cd today, ”Conviction”. The music was so soothing to me, as I drove to Ohio, this morning. It’s God’s concviction that he pours out to us and that enables us to cry out to Him for help and relief. Livestream was not very clear that night, so to hear the clear version of the cd was wonderful. I listened to the cd and envisioned that Wed. night on livestream. God is so very good to us; the country we live in, the musicians he has given us, the testimonies that surrounds us, and the teaching. Whew! Sometimes I have to shake my head and say, “God, am I really worthy to hear these words? If not, please convict me.”

I love it when I feel so much conviction that God takes me places in Him. Every time that I feel the Spirit is like Jesus telling me, “I made it–I am here–I love you!” Most times I have to just cry. I was a wreck when Jesus found me–I pray that I am found worthy to have my picture put on the wall in the tract room, one day, with all those old saints.

Last night was so very good. How you explained Chapter 7 with the father not being known without his son & sons is great. Fellowship with the world without the father … Have people seen God in you lately? … We are the light that draws people to God . . . mmmmm good.

The “Blessed Assurance” This is My Story song is a knockout. Jesus has blessed us with heavenly music. The verse: “Perfect submission, is perfect delight’ really stood out and went in deep. There is a peace, delight, assurance in submitting perfectly to Jesus and following the spirit.

We wanted to find the words and looked it up on line after the meeting. We listened to at least a dozen different versions of that song, but none could even come close to what we experienced in the meeting. When the spirit is in the music it really does make it heavenly and not of this world.
