Teaching
at Home!
Teaching at home has resumed!
We have changed our meeting time to 6:30 pm.
We will not meet on Thursday, 26 January.
Check this area often - I will post an announcement if we are NOT
going to meet. If there is no change, we are on schedule.
We hope you can join us!
I'm
off with some ministry support folks to Atlanta this weekend for the
jesus in the Quran seminar to see what changes they've made in the past
year. If you are a Christian and reading this and you find yourself caught up in this
"Chrislam" mess, I urge you review this page and look at what is
truly happening within Islam and then ask yourself, "Can that god
possibly be the God of the Bible?" I think you'll quickly see the
true answer there. Click over to the Christian Resources
page to get some point cards and feel free to modify them and use them
in your own ministry. Praise be to YHWH! Just like Nancy
Reagan with the drugs, when it comes to jIQ,
A Beast Called Islam, Part 3
Updated 17 January
2012
The
story of the beast continues with part 3, covering current news
surrounding Islam in America and abroad, a look at the different
factions within Islam, and a beginning look into the land that Islam so
desperately wants (Israel) and the history of what's going on in that
region. We are just getting started with the exposition of Islam
and its evil, horrible intent. It's
available on the left menu or on the Sword Sharpening page!

The Aleph and the Tav Redux
Updated 9 January 2012
The
message on the Aleph and the Tav was so well received and meant so much
to those of us hearing it the first time, I decided to offer it again
at Benson Pentecostal Freewill Baptist Church at our monthly meeting.
We met on Saturday, 7 January and had a rather large turnout and
everyone was moved by the powerful message of the Aleph and the Tav as
they appear in the original Hebrew Scriptures. Please take an
hour to listen to this message and let me know what you think of it.
It is one that will change how you study the Bible from this
point forward. It's

A Beast Called Islam, Part 2
Updated 22 December
2011
The
story of the beast continues with part 2, covering current news
surrounding Islam in America and abroad, a history of the spirit of
Amalek (you must understand from a Biblical viewpoint the dangers that
Islam entails), and a thorough look at adoption from a Hebraic
perspective. Do you need more proof that the god of Islam is *NOT* the
God of the Bible? Simply listen to this message. Of course the good ole
boys at "jesus in the Quran" wouldn't agree with comparing pure
Scripture to the Quran, especially the pastor (Buddy Hoffman) who
admits that he has never read the Quran, but if your eyes are open to
Yeshua, you'll understand the first time through. It's
available on the left menu or on the Sword Sharpening page!
A Beast Called Islam, Part 1
Updated 21 December
2011
Despite
what the folks over at "jesus in the Quran" would have you believe, the
god of Islam and the God of the Bible are NOT THE SAME! This
series intends to expose the evil that lurks within Islam (have you
seen the news lately?) and its true intent of destruction of Israel and
all of her supporters, as the church should be. This is part 1 of
many parts and gives just a brief introduction to Islam. As the
series progresses, the depth of evil will be exposed. Do not be
fooled by churches who would call for inclusion or "Chrislam".
Elijah understood that the worshippers of Baal had no part with
the Kingdom of God, and neither does this latest threat to our way of
life! It's

A Place for the Name
Updated 15 December
2011
When
King David wanted to build a house for YHWH, he was told no.
However, he was told that his son, Solomon, would be allowed to
build one. What Solomon built was a wonder, but have you noticed
in the Scripture how Solomon himself refers to it? He doesn't say
he is going to build a house for YHWH, but for the name of YHWH. What does that mean to you? Listen to this message to find out. It's

The Aleph and the Tav
Updated 7 December
2011
Last
week we began the home study again...it felt really nice to get back in
the teaching mode! The lesson was titled "Et" - the aleph and
the tav. Christians must be able to witness with the Truth, and
they have to be able to show the Truth in the Old Testament. This
lesson shows Yeshua in a light in which He is rarely seen. It's

Confronting
"Chrislam"
Updated 5 October
2011
This
Pastor knows what he's talking about - this heresy about the inclusive
worship of Christians and Muslims is widely misunderstood and many (TOO
many) churches are welcoming and embracing this. Trust me -
the
jesus in the Qur'an is NOT the Jesus of the Bible!
Watch this short video (just over 5 minutes), and thank God for men
like this Pastor!
A couple
of months ago I posted a video for you to watch, but was only able to
post the first 5 minutes of the video. I watched it many
times before deciding to recommend
it to you. This Pastor has done a good job of reporting on
the jiQ (a major part of what has been called the "C5 Movement" in
modern evangelism) seminar that I have attended twice and have
discussed with you before. Make no mistake: THE JIQ
TEACHING IS HERESY IN IT'S CLEAREST SENSE. The
teachers have been recorded in the video plainly denying that Jesus (of
the Bible) is the Son of God, and there are many other grand goofs
within the video as well. I urge you to watch the video
and listen intently so that you will be
armed AGAINST such wrong teaching! It is a little over 18
minutes long. Be sure to listen as the Pastor discusses Jamie
Winship and his wife Donna - these are the folks that I personally
witnessed praying to the god of Islam (yes, calling him by name as
opposed to Exodus 23:13) in a church in Cary, NC (Grace Bible
Fellowship). Jamie states, at approximately the 5:50 mark,
that "we have enough
Christians in our church...we don't need you"
and he will deny
that Jesus is the Son of God at the 7:30 mark. This video needs to be seen! Be prepared for this teaching to
come
to another
church near you. Here's a link to the full video - please
tell everyone you know about it!
Update
January 2012: They have managed to have the video removed but I have a
copy - contact me and I'll send you a private link where you can view
it.
It's
Called A "Victory" Mosque
Updated 23
September
2011
What
you see here is an artist's rendition of the twin towers, made with
Qurans! The yellow tape has verses from the Quran, such as
Sura
8:12 - "Your Lord inspired the angels with the message:
'I will terrorize the unbelievers. Therefore smite
them on
their necks and every joint and incapacitate them. Strike off
their heads and cut off each of their fingers and toes."
What's
in a Name?
Updated 15
September
2011
The
folks over at "jesus in the Quran" seem to think that the name is all
there is to identifying the god. Because there is a guy named
Isa
in the Quran, whose name translation is Jesus (don't get them confused
- not the Jesus of the Bible), they teach that this is the same guy and
that he is there to save Muslims and to keep them Muslims
(yep, just as He (the real Jesus) teaches for all sinners - get saved
and
stay in sin). Here's a little story to show the difference:
I
had been working hard all day and was exhausted. Family and
job
issues were wearing me down and life seemed hopeless to the point of
despair. As I was driving home I saw a sign in the
neighborhood:
I called.
Two hours later a Mexican man showed up and began mowing my
lawn.

Update
Updated 17 August
2011
Serious Bible teaching, that
which recognizes only PURE
BIBLE and NO
COMPROMISE,
brings serious attention to the one doing the teaching.
In
the last month+, several very bad things have happened to my family,
including the total loss of a home due to fire and the loss of one of
my grandchildren through miscarriage. Bombs were dropping all
around me, and then one hit the target in the form of a motorcycle
accident that has brought me down for a small time. But as I
prayed over how to continue (that's right - I won't stop teaching the
Truth), I was unsure of how to get back on track. Today, I
found
the answer in Isaiah 62:1.
"For
Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will
not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and
the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth."
This
ministry exists to provide True insight to the Scriptures of Yehovah
and His Son, Yeshua, and also to expose Islam for what it truly is, the
religion of Satan. This means that not only am I offending
Satan
and drawing his attention, but I'm also offending many churches today
that have taken their denominational doctrine so far from the
Scriptures that they can no longer relate to pure Bible reading and
understanding. These church leaders are represented by the
second
son in the parable that Yeshua tells in Matthew 21:28-32.
They
say they do His work, and they even may believe they do, but a thorough
understanding of His work is lost in their man-made doctrine.
So,
to their dislike, I will be back on my feet soon and ready to begin
again. I will teach and preach His Word every day, all day.
To the persecution that comes, I say, come on.
I don't think this needs any comment... More
on jesus in the Quran
Updated 29 June 2011
In
response to the jiQ seminars, I made some cards that should prompt
questions in the mind of any Christian with even minimal Bible
knowledge. The inclusion of Islam in Christian activities is
exactly what Satan wants (this new Chrislam movement) so that you and I
will not recognize the dangers of his religion. DO NOT LET
SATAN
FOOL YOU! Be ready to respond to what is wrong when you see
it,
and know that Jesus (of the Bible) is NOT in the Quran! Below
is
a sample card:
In all, I made 7 thought-provoking "point" cards and you can see them
all on the Christian Resources
page. Also available are the Microsoft Word templates that
you can download to make your own cards.
The
Fall Feasts
Updated 15 June 2011
We
met in Benson this past Sabbath for a teaching on the Fall Feasts of
YHWH and had a great time. We learned about Yom Teruah (the
Day
of Trumpets), Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement), and Sukkot (Feast of
Booths or Tabernacles). A thorough look at the feasts as
outlined
in Leviticus 23 will reveal their prophetic role, and each of the fall
feasts point to the Messiah's second coming.
I have the
audio and PowerPoint slides available below, but they are also on the
Sword Sharpening page (in to top menu). Please review the
slides
from the Spring Feasts as well for a complete coverage of all the
feasts.
Today
I leave for Snellville, GA, to attend another "jesus in the Quran"
seminar. You may remember me talking about this a few months
ago
- this is where they lie to Christians and Muslims by what they call
"finding common ground" and pointing to the god of Islam as the same as
the God of the Bible and, therefore, the character Isa as the True
Jesus Christ! Nothing could be farther from the truth and
these
people are deceived
and are deceiving.
For a refresher, here are links to the rebuttal sermon I preached last year that
counters all of their points with Biblical scripture, beginning with
Exodus 23:13:
"And in
all things that I have said unto you be circumspect: and make no mention of
the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of thy mouth."
These guys have no problem praying
in the name of the god of Islam,
and, even worse, they have no problem emphasizing that you should
attend a mosque to worship that god. As Chuck Missler used to
say, "When you're looking for the ministers of Satan, don't overlook
the pulpit". This is dangerous.
I'll be back on Sunday - feel free to contact
me for more at any time.
