Fighting the Four Evils

Yes, "love is love" is a lie. But can those of you who use this as a counter-argument and not acknowledge God, define what love truly is? Can you explain what is the proper type of love which forms basis for marriage? How such love is to properly manifest? Do you not acknowledge God, and use this issue as a tool for your own agenda? Those who refuse the counsel of God on marriage and love will not be able to fight the lies. They will only stir up more confusion, and not defeat evil, but be defeated by evil.  Do not be deceived by those who have an appearance of righteousness, but refuse of acknowledge God. For cursed are those who rely on their own understanding! Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD (Jeremiah 17:5). The Lord bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect.   The counsel of the Lord standeth for ever, th...

Witchcraft is rampant in the modern west. It is manifested through all modern western philosophies, whether it be liberalism, feminism, humanism, postmodernism or modernism. It seeks to espouse the lie that one can define truth. Witchcraft all started in the Garden of Eden in Genesis 3:1-7: Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.     And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was ...

There is nothing new under the sun (Ecclesiastes 1:9). Indeed, there is nothing new under the sun. Witchcraft is often thought of as an ancient craft, practiced only by mentally and emotionally unstable and ignorant people. However, nothing can be further from the truth.  Witchcraft is rampant in the modern west, in more 'enlightened' and 'sophisticated' ways. Instead of rubbing magic charms and hugging trees, witchcraft now manifests itself in manipulation of thought by language and speech. It is now more obvious, but yet more subtle. It is all around us in the advertisements, media, academia, business world, politics and culture. Yet it is subtle because it is invisible, and can only be discerned spiritually, and not by observation of rituals, rites and superstitious dances.  The spirit of witchcraft feeds on the desire to control and manipulate others for one's own self-interest. This explains why witchcraft religions are often, if not always, nature-worshipp...

Perversion of marriage has not only lead to the 'slippery' slope effect apart from its sexual perversion. It has lead to persecution and hatred of those who oppose sexual perversion. Check out: http://www.massresistance.org/docs/marriage/effects_of_ssm_2012/index.html

Many think that democracy provides the best way for achieving fairness and equality before the law. However, this is far from the truth. Democracy is really rule by majority . That is, the masses dictate what should be the law. Thus, because masses dictate what should be the law, its values as to what should be the law are paramount. Morality and ethics are not necessarily paramount in determining what the law should be. Indeed, law is a set of values enforced by authority. Within the democratic framework, it is what people think or believe the right moral framework is that determines the law. There is a great deal of faith placed in human 'wisdom' and philosophy. Democracy, as such is anti-Christian because it elevates human thinking above God's. This explains not only why laws made within a democratic framework are anti-Christian, but the conundrums that arise within the democracy are anti-Christian. The most stark example of an anti-Christian conundrum that arises with...

We live in a world that placed an emphasis on self-esteem and esteeming the beliefs of the individual on the grounds that everyone has a “right” to their own beliefs.  Indeed, we live in the age of postmodernism where everyone has their “personal truth” and everything that is true is deemed to be “opinion”. Everything that is the (often foolish) opinion of intellectuals is deemed to be truth with a capital T. Sadly, this spirit of liberalism has crept into the modern Church. Many Christians are very sceptical about evangelism that uses the Law to confront people of their sins because it “offends” the unsaved. They tell you that it is inappropriate to use the “method”, as known as Way of the Master because it is not the Gospel message itself that will offend the unsaved, but the “method” offends. One of them told me that Australians will think that when you are asking them if they have ever lied, stolen or looked in lust, they will read it to be the confronter judging them. Eve...

Satan is the enemy of humanity. He knows he has been defeated by Jesus Christ who died for the sins of the world. However, God allows satan to prowl around the world, looking for people to devour. Although has indeed been defeated, and that God is ultimately in control, it is still absolutely crucial for Christians to understand how satan attempt to blind people, so that they can understand and expose evil. The Bible commands Christians to:  H ave no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them (Ephesians 5:11).  'Fellowship' come from the Greek word ' koinónia'. Koinonia means participation or contribution. Thus, the Bible clearly commands Christians to abstain from doing evil works, or from supporting such deeds. Reprove comes from the Greek word ' elegchó, which means to rebuke or expose. Therefore, Ephesians 5:11 commands Christians to not only abstain from evil, but to rebuke or expose it. Participation or contribution can be ...

The foundation of 21 st century Western culture is that of humanism, the doctrine that each individual is the agent who determines right and wrong, and what is good or evil because humans are capable of doing so for the social good. However, the question that arises is whether morality can stand as truth where it is defined by each individual. While it may seem to promise more freedom, it provides no coherent framework as to how people should behave to advance a civilisation owing to the individualisation of the concepts of love, tolerance and civility. Rather than fostering respect for others and taking responsibility for one’s actions, it encourages self-entitlement and individualism that is justified on the grounds that society must accommodate for the personal interests of the individual. Humanism is only limited to a moral framework based on what is right or wrong according to society. Thus, humanistic morality expressed in the form of political correctness, which purports t...

The ideology underlying liberalism is that one should seek one’s own ends in whatever way one sees fit. This has lead to the demise of morality in the postmodern society and the silencing of anyone who speaks against it. Liberalism itself is devoid of a moral foundation, producing a society that is divided by conflicting self-interests of different social groups because it is against the categorical imperative of respecting all others. Postmodernism purports that there is no universal truth, but that there are many truths. Therefore, it follows from postmodern logic that these truths depend on what is perceived by the individual since everything is an illusion. If there are really no universal truths, why should such a statement be taken seriously?  Postmodernists argue that postmodernism is legitimate because it purports there are different perspectives that determine what is true. Equating truth to perception is implying that truth is relative, not absolute. However, truth...

This is  an urgent message about why the modern church will be persecuted in the near future. The answer is not what you think: In these increasingly uncertain times, we are seeing a whole new level of worldliness in the Church. We seem to have adopted a “seekermergent” model that focuses on being relevant to those who don’t know Christ, by looking exactly like the culture. But those who are lost already have the culture, so why would they need the Church?  Instead of telling them about our need for a Savior and preaching repentance for our sins and the forgiveness Jesus offered once and for all in His sacrifice, we talk of tolerance, acceptance and serving the world without evangelizing.

Postmodernism attempts to deconstruct every text, image, architecture or event in adherence to the mission to destroy absolute truth. A person once asked leading Christian apologist Ravi Zacharias to see a postmodern building to which he asked "What is a postmodern building?". The person replied, "A building that has no meaning," because life is meaningless. Isn't it ironic that in saying a building has no meaning, it is to claim that it has a meaning: to portray life as meaningless is meaning in itself. However, the postmodernist would argue that the meaning is intrinsic in life itself and it is up to to people to interpret how they choose to live their own lives. To choose how to live one's life is to choose what one believes because each individual lives according to a set of standards.  Postmodernism, in effect, is free thinking. It promises to offer freedom from the "old dinosaur" of morality and truth. However, in offering such freedom, it ...

Modern society places an emphasis on tolerance, in particular, religious tolerance. Tolerance in modern society means to accept the beliefs of others to be legitimate in itself on the grounds that people have "right" to choose what they want to believe in. This is completely contrary to the words of Jesus (John 14:6): "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through me." People are indeed given by God, the choice to believe in what they want, that is to break the 1st and 2nd Commandments, or the repent and trust in Jesus. God did not make us robots, but people with a free will. Many unbelievers are quick to say, "judge not lest you be judged" when confronted with the Law of God. Yes, Jesus did say that, and He did indeed tell the people who were about the stone the woman caught in the act of adultery, "let he who has never sinned throw the first stones". (John 8:7) However, He did not say to the adulteress, ...

Happy Prayer Day!  Christian social and political commentator Steven Crowder comments on the secularisation of America in the name of achieving civil liberties.

These   are   the things that ye shall do; Speak ye every man the   truth   to his neighbour; execute the judgment of   truth   and peace in your gates.  ( Zechariah 8:16} Political correctness demands that the offence felt by others be placed above speaking the truth. The Bible teaches us not the seek the praise of others, but speak God's truth. : Some think that political correctness means to not use racist language because it is a means of stopping discrimination. If this is the case, why does it not demand that Jews and Christians are to be respected? Why are Christians and Jews exempt from political correctness protection? People in the flesh praise humans not God and they just cannot accept God's truth. Therefore, accordingly, it only makes too much sense to them that people who speak of only one Truth, ie. God's truth are not deserving of PC protection.
