Fighting the Four Evils

Many professing Christians, both those who attend church and those who do not, are under a false understanding of what true Christianity really is. They think it is about undertaking certain rituals or rites, such as getting baptised in church, attending church and following liturgy. However, that is not what true Christianity is about. True Christianity is about seeking a real intimacy with Jesus Christ who is God Himself.  Yet, on the other hand, there are many Christians who are very active in church, attending church every week, each Bible study, even leading Bible studies, attending every prayer meeting, leading praise and worship sessions, and even sacrificing their own to organise church activities, who are not truly saved. This is particularly the case at ministry-orientated churches where everything is about ministry, rather than Jesus. While such people may know that it is not works that save them, but Jesus alone, by grace through faith (Ephesians 2:8-9), their works s...

These are grumblers, complainers, walking according to their own lusts; and they mouth great swelling words, flattering people to gain advantage.  But you, beloved, remember the words which were spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ:  how they told you that there would be mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own ungodly lusts.  These are sensual persons, who cause divisions, not having the Spirit. (Jude 1:16-19) There are many professing followers of Christ who are not true followers of Christ, but are religious. They treat following Jesus like a religious leader, and Christianity like a religion. However, that is not what true Christianity is. True Christianity is not about being religious, but about being truly spiritual. Religion enslaves, whereas true spirituality in Christ, as opposed to the false spirituality found in false religions, sets us free. The spirit of religion is the spirit of carnality. It is a wicked, evil an...

The doctrine of love is the doctrine that people in today's Church love the most. People love to hear about the doctrine of love, not because they are full of love, but because they want to be loved. However, their want to be loved is derived from their self-centred love that is vile, evil and wicked. They want to be loved, but have no love themselves. That is the height of all self-love, which is nothing but idolatry. The ultimate manifestation of idolatry is the love of self. It is to love oneself for being oneself which is exactly what the problem of self-love. It regards oneself as worthy of love, when one is not worthy of love at all. It is a proud love of self, that the world regards as 'self-respect'. Self-love is Adamic, full of venom and the hatred of God. For it thinks highly of itself, in thinking itself to be worthy when it is not worthy at all, but worthy only for eternal Hellfire for seeking to be independent of God.  Independence from God is the beg...

Many professing Christians claim that they are following Him, but the reality is that they are not truly following Jesus. While they may try as hard to obey Him, they cannot fully obey all of His Commands because they do not fully accept all of His Commands in full.  They are willing to follow Jesus, but only on their terms. They are willing to follow Him only where their desires, wants, dreams, visions and ambitions can be satisfied. Whenever following Him conflicts with their desires, wants, dreams, visions and ambitions, they do not want to follow Him, but instead want God to accommodate for these desires, wants, dreams or ambitions.  Such so-called 'christians' are those who appear godly but are ambitious about their own careers or vocations, including ministry careers, are driven, and are constantly talking about their dreams and 'waiting on God' to fulfill their desires. Such people are not true Servants of God. Instead, they want God to serve them. They serve...

A Servant of God should never seek money, fame, power, influence or success. Why? Because such things are earthly temporal things. Seeking such things is earthly and worldly, without exception or qualification.  Jesus made it very clear, " For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also " (Matthew 6:21). This means that if one is seeking money, fame, power, influence or success, one's heart is with the world, for such things are of the world. Seeking financial security on this earth shows that one's heart is with the world. Doing anything to seek such financial security, such as marrying and having a family for financial security as a reason is worldliness and earthliness. It is sin. Such people will not see the Kingdom of Heaven and will go to Hell if they do not repent and turn to Jesus Christ. Jesus said: Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal;   but lay up for yourselves treas...
