One Gospel One Truth

The Lego Moment: When the “truth” of a heresy snaps into place By Joe McKeever “Even though we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to that which we have preached to you, let him be accursed” (Galatians 1:8,9). The devil, that master of falsehoods and creator of fake religions, is no fool. He knows that a manmade religion has to look and feel right if people are going to buy it. So, he keeps tweaking it until he finds the right combination to achieve that “aha!” moment when everything falls into place. He blends a mixture of doctrinal teachings that sound impressive, emotional incentives that feel good, and outlandish rewards out in the future that entice the unthinking alongwith a certain amount of history which he has either created out of whole cloth or tampered with to make it say what he wishes and a fellowship of the deceived-and-deceiving so the seeker can be locked into the system. When the seeker is combing over the details of this new...

1Corinthians 15:1-11 October 10, 2010 90-407 First Corinthians chapter 15 is our chapter and I’m very, very thankful for the direction of the Spirit of God to look at this chapter. It is the great resurrection chapter. As you can see by simple glance, it’s long, it runs for 58 verses and by the time we’re done, we’ll have a great understanding of the wonder of resurrection. Now this chapter is not particularly about the resurrection of Christ, although that is foundational to the resurrection. It’s about your resurrection and my resurrection. So this is your future we’re talking about here. This is your story. This will happen to you. This is very personal. This looks ahead to what the Lord has prepared for them that love Him. All of those who love Christ will rise from the dead. Those in the church will rise at the Rapture of Christ. Those from the Old Testament and through the Tribulation will rise at the resurrection of saints at the end of the Tribulation, but we wil...

Joe McKeever "Your words have stood men on their feet." Job 4:4 June 22, 2012 As a child, I was enthralled by the story of "Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves." This ancient Arabian story tells of an everyday working guy, Ali Baba, who happens to overhear thieves discussing their hidden treasure. He follows them to their cave, hears the magic words  Open Sesame  (our English version of what they said, no doubt) which opens the door, and follows them inside. There he discovers a king's ransom in jewels and gold. Later, using the (ahem) password, Ali Baba returns and helps himself to the treasure. You can see why a child would love that story. It contains so many of the elements we all like in a good story: free gold, easy living, the bad guys are conned, and simple words that do wondrous things. I don't know any magic words other than  I love you, thank you, you're beautiful/you're important/you are smart, and please.  However, in studying the Holy Script...

By   Joe McKeever "Your words have stood men on their feet." Job 4:4 But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.  II Corinthians 4:3-4 It's not just that outsiders to the faith have not been shown the way to eternal life, as though they were sitting by the roadside waiting. It's not simply that the unsaved need to be instructed and helped, as though they were gathered in a celestial waiting room somewhere, eager for us to appear. Neither are the lost blank slates on which we may write Heaven's love-letters to their souls, as though nothing had corrupted their minds or skewed their values. The unsaved are in serious trouble. A great many of those without Christ have been blinded by the enemy. Not all, thankfully, but far too many. Satan has done a number on thos...

Could you recognize a counterfeit gospel?    http://1stopclickandshop.com < -- Jesus, Son Of God See Note Ra, The sun god-- > If only it was that simple! What is the cost of not identifying it? Could you explain the true gospel?  If you cannot answer to these questions, you are more likely not saved or you are not wearing the armor of God which make you very vulnerable to be deceived, Ephesians 6:11!  Not wearing the armor of God is compare to not protecting your computer with anti-virus software, Romans 13:12, Ephesians 6:11-13. There is one thing a merchant does not want? It is a counterfeit bill. When depositing the end of the day earning, the bank teller goes through the bills, and if one bill is found to be a counterfeit, it is worthless, and is deducted from the merchant profit. For this reason a merchant instructs their cashier to verify a suspect fraudulent bill by comparing it with a genuine bill.  Some merchants ev...
