Evangelist Sam Gipp's Deadly Counterfeit Gospel

Galatians 1:6-9, “I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.”

Dear reader, let us begin by defining “the Gospel” with the inspired Holy Scriptures. What is the Gospel? ...

1st Corinthians 15:1-4, “Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:”

So according to the Word of God, as we just read, the Gospel (meaning “Good News”) is comprised of three things:

1. Jesus DIED on the cross to pay our debt of sin.
2. Jesus was BURIED.
3. Jesus bodily RESURRECTED three days later from the dead.

We know that Jesus is also the only begotten Son of God, the Christ, John 20:31, “But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.” We know from the Scriptures that a person must realize he or she is a guilty sinner to be saved:

Romans 3:19-23, “Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;”

In these passages of Scripture we see God's simple plan of salvation. Anyone who comes to God as a guilty sinner, receiving Christ's sacrifice on the cross as payment for their sins, believing that Jesus is the only begotten Son of God who was buried after dying on the cross, and raised up three days later from the dead, is saved. It is that simple! Eternal life is a free gift from God, paid for by Jesus' precious blood (Romans 5:15-18; 1st Peter 1:18-19).

Evangelist Sam Gipp's Damnable False Plan Of Salvation

Now having showed you THE TRUTH, let me show you Evangelist Sam Gipp's different plan of salvation, which does NOT match what the inspired Holy Bible teaches. On Sam Gipp's YouTube channel, in a heretical YouTube video titled: “How To Be Saved,” Gipp states the following (which he admittedly copied in part from cartoon evangelist Jack Chick's religious tract, “The Sissy”)...

“First, you must admit you are a sinner. You have broken God's laws. Then, you must be willing to turn from sin and reject it. Believe that Jesus Christ died for you, was buried and rose from the dead. Through prayer, invite Jesus into your life to become your personal Savior.

Simply pray something like this, and mean it with all your heart:

Dear God, I am a sinner and need forgiveness. I believe that Jesus Christ shed His precious blood, and died for my sin. I am willing to turn from sin. I now invite Christ to come into my heart and life as my personal Savior.” ~Dr. Sam Gipp

You can watch Sam Gipp's heretical YouTube video for yourself, from which I transcribed the preceding quote...

Evangelist Sam Gipp's Counterfeit Plan Of Salvation

That is NOT the Gospel taught in the Holy Bible. To the unlearned Christian believer, the preceding false plan of salvation may not seem like a big deal, but it is dear friend. Remember, the serpent (the Devil according to Revelation 20:2) is the most subtle of all creatures. Genesis 3:1, “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?” Satan is a beautiful liar! The Devil is a cunning liar, manipulator and deceiver.

When criminals counterfeit money, they intentionally try to make their corrupt money appear as close to real money as possible. Satan does the same thing with religion. So it shouldn't come as a surprise that all of the pseudo (false) Christian cults believe that Jesus is the Christ. It shouldn't come as a surprise that Roman Catholics believe Jesus died on a cross, was buried and resurrected three days later. Hey, that is THE GOSPEL! So are Roman Catholics saved? No, they are not, because they also require keeping Seven Sacraments to get to Heaven. The first sacrament in the prisonhouse of Catholicism is water baptism. All of the pseudo-Christian cults require water baptism to get into the Kingdom of Heaven.

We know from the Bible that water baptism is NOT required to get to Heaven. The thief on the cross didn't get baptized. The Bible plainly teaches in Galatians 1:6 that there is only one Gospel, not two or more. So we know that the thief on the cross got saved the same way that everyone does, which is by faith alone in the Good News of Jesus Christ crucified, buried and risen. No one in the Old Testament was every water baptized for salvation.

Turning Away From Sinful Ways Is WORKS!

The Gospel of John is God's Gospel tract, as we read earlier in John 20:31. In the book of John we find the word “believe” mentioned at least 85 times in various forms, but there is no requirement anywhere in the Gospel of John to be water baptized. And for that matter, neither is the word “repent” mentioned even once in the Gospel of John. This is because repentance is automatic. To “repent” in the Bible regarding salvation simply means “to think differently.”

For example: Mark 1:15 says, “And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.” The Greek word for “repent” in this Bible verse is metanoeo, a verb form which means: “to think differently.” So a literal interpretation of this Scripture passage is: “Think differently and believe that Jesus died on the cross for your sins, was buried and physically resurrected three days later from the dead.” You don't repent AND believe, you repent TO believe.

Repentance facilitates believing, by which we are saved. Romans 1:16, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.” You don't get saved by repenting, you get saved by BELIEVING; but no one has ever been saved who didn't also repent. Repentance and faith are as two sides of one coin. They are inseparable from each other.

I love this helpful quote on repentance from Pastor Harry A. Ironside (1876-1951):

“Which comes first, repentance or faith? In Scripture we read, 'Repent ye, and believe the gospel.' Yet we find true believers exhorted to 'repent, and do the first works.' So intimately are the two related that you cannot have one without the other. The man who believes God repents; the repentant soul puts his trust in the Lord when the Gospel is revealed to him. Theologians may wrangle over this, but the fact is, no man repents until the Holy Spirit produces repentance in his soul through the truth. No man believes the Gospel and rests in it for his own salvation until he has judged himself as a needy sinner before God. And this is repentance.” [emphasis added] ~Pastor Harry Ironside, 'Except Ye Repent,' p. 16

Yes, that is it! Repentance is simply the acknowledgment that I am as guilty a sinner as God hath declared me to be in His holy Word. Pastor Ironside further offers these helpful words...

“The Gospel is not a call to repentance, or to amendment of our ways, to make restitution for past sins, or to promise to do better in the future. These things are proper in their place, but they do not constitute the Gospel; for the Gospel is not good advice to be obeyed, it is good news to be believed. Do not make the mistake then of thinking that the Gospel is a call to duty or a call to reformation, a call to better your condition, to behave yourself in a more perfect way than you have been doing in the past …

Nor is the Gospel a demand that you give up the world, that you give up your sins, that you break off bad habits, and try to cultivate good ones. You may do all these things, and yet never believe the Gospel and consequently never be saved at all.”

SOURCE: Harry A. Ironside, from the sermon: What Is The Gospel?

Amen and amen! When the Philippian jailer asked Paul and Silas in Acts 16:30b, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?,” their simple reply in Acts 16:31a was to: “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.” The free offer of salvation by faith alone in Jesus Christ was extended to the man's entire family, if they wanted God's gift. Dear reader, please notice that Paul and Silas DIDN'T pressure the unsaved man to forsake his sinful ways to be saved. They DIDN'T tell the Philippian jailer to be willing to stop living in sin, turn away from his sin, or be willing to reject his sinful bad habits to get to Heaven. Sam Gipp is a theological liar—a deadly false prophet who needs to be exposed and rebuked sharply in pulpits across America. ...

Titus 1:9-14, “Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers. For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision: Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake. One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies. This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith; Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.”

In typical cult fashion, Sam Gibb mixes works with grace to confuse people. One of my favorite sermons is by Pastor Ralph Yankee Arnold...

Caught Between Grace And Works
(an excellent sermon by Pastor Ralph Yankee Arnold)

Tragically, most pastors and clergy today are caught between grace and works, preaching another gospel of partial faith in Christ plus WORKS!!! Sam Gipp and Jack Chick (1924-2016) have blood on their hands. Sadly, Jack Chick printed and sold over 1,000,000,000 religious tracts, all of which lied to lost sinners, requiring them to be willing to stop living a sinful lifestyle to get to Heaven. THAT IS WORKS!!!

Sadly, Sam Gipp has also fallen for the same Satanic deception. Gipp is deceived of the Devil, preaching a false gospel for filthy lucre's sake. I must also warn you about Pastor Keith Gomez in Elgin, Illinois. Pastor Gomez is close personal ministry friends with Sam Gipp. These men are all corrupt in their theology! No where does the inspired King James Bible teach us to “turn from your sinful ways” or to “reject your sins” to be saved. Ungodly religious men embellished God's simple plan of salvation, adding these unbiblical requirements to get to Heaven.

It is man's sinful nature to have a tendency to want to help God save us. If you fully understand that salvation is of the Lord (Jonah 2:9), then it will become obvious that you don't need to give up your sinful ways to receive God's gift. Eternal life is a free gift! You don't have to qualify for a gift, you simply take it. Dear reader, Jesus died for your sins! Christ died for the ungodly (Romans 5:6-9). That means you and me, because we are all ungodly sinners!

You don't have to be willing to turn away from your sins to be saved, because that would be WORKS! Jonah 3:10, “And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not.” God spared judgment upon the Ninevites (who were Assyrians) because they turned away from their evil ways, but they didn't get saved. No one has ever been saved by WORKS!!! Romans 4:4, “Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.” As we just read, if salvation had ever been by works, then it would have been by debt instead of by grace. God would have OWED them salvation because they did WORKS to earn it. Salvation has always been only by God's grace!

One hundred years later the decedents of the Ninevites returned to their evil ways, and God sent the prophet Nahum to proclaim imminent destruction upon them. They destruction came in 612 BC when the kingdom of Babylon conquered the Assyrians. No one has ever been saved by their own self-righteous works. Turning away from sinful ways is WORKS!!!

Furthermore, we read in Jonah 3:10 that God Himself “repented.” If repentance means to be willing to turn away from one's sinful ways, then we have a big problem here, because God cannot do evil. James 1:13-14, “Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.” God cannot sin. God is holy, just, sinless and righteous in every way. I am so thankful that the God of the universe is a good, reasonable, fair and righteous being! Could you imagine if Satan were the highest power in the universe? I thank God for God!!!

Clearly, God did not turn away from His sins in Jonah 3:10. God simply changed His mind, deciding not to destroy the people of the city of Nineveh at that time. Repentance is simply a change of mind toward God (Acts 20:21), where a lost sinner acknowledges THE TRUTH (2nd Timothy 2:25). The truth dear friend is that you are a guilty sinner. The wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23). That includes the second death in Hell (Revelation 21:8, 20:11-15). The GOOD NEWS is that God the Father gave up His only begotten Son, Jesus, as a sacrifice on the cross to die for your sins and mine. Jesus shed His blood for our sins, and ultimately sprinkled that literal blood upon the heavenly Mercy Seat (Hebrews 9:12, 22-24; 12:24). We are saved by faith in the blood of Jesus (1st Peter 1:18-19). Romans 5:9, “Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.”

My only hope for Heaven is Jesus Christ and His righteousness. Philippians 3:9, “And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:” There is nothing I have ever done or ever will do that can get me to Heaven. My only hope is in Jesus Christ, because of what He did through Calvary's cross to pay for my sins, and that He was buried and bodily raised up from the dead the third day. It is done! Jesus paid it all!!!

Kindly said, I don't have to turn away from my sinful ways, nor even be willing to turn away from my sinful ways, to be saved. Eternal life is the free gift of God. Ephesians 2:8-9, “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” Anyone who thinks that they must turn away from their sins to be saved, is not saved at all. The only proper mindset that can save is faith alone in Christ alone. WORKS has no place in God's simple plan of salvation.

Tragically, Sam Gipp is not saved. To be saved Gipp must repent of his wrong repentance. He must forsake trusting in his self-righteous efforts to turn away from his sins, and instead trust only in God's righteousness which is imparted by faith alone. What saith the Scripture? John 6:40, “And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.” The will of God the Father for salvation is to BELIEVE ON JESUS, plain and simple. What Sam Gipp is preaching is another gospel. Jack Chick preached another gospel.

The heretical idea that you must forsake a sinful lifestyle to be saved came from the Devil, not the Holy Bible. In God's true plan of salvation, Christ came into the world to pay your debt of sin. In God's true plan of salvation, He wants to give you forgiveness of sins and eternal life as a free gift. In God's true plan of salvation, there can be no stipulations or obligations for it to truly remain a free gift. Woe unto wicked preachers who add to the Gospel, perverting God's simple plan of salvation, which is through faith alone without any works.

Also, no where in the inspired Word of God are we taught to invite Christ into our life to be saved, as Gipp requires. Sam Gipp is a false prophet! Shame on anyone who wickedly bids Godspeed to Sam Gipp and his counterfeit plan of salvation. RIGHT DOCTRINE MATTERS!!!

If you feel confused dear reader, I humbly challenge you to sit back and just quietly listen to the entire Gospel of John. If you'll do that, I I love doing often, you will see clearly God's simple plan of salvation. Thank you for reading.

Most Churches Will Support The Devil's New World Order

Matthew 24:24, "For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect."

Sadly, I dare say less than 1% of pastors today care enough about THE TRUTH to investigate and tell it. A Bible preacher ought to be as a sheepdog who warns the vulnerable sheep of imminent danger. I meet so many pastors who have the pathetic attitude (like the incompetent and woefully unloving Pensacola Christian College camp), who only want to speak positive things from the pulpit.

They couldn't care less about the fraudulent Federal Reserve System hoax, which has been stealing from American citizens since 1913. The Federal Reserve is a classic Ponzi Scheme, where there is no true wealth involved. This is why our treasonous U.S. Congress is again this week raising the Debt Ceiling, allowing our corrupt government to borrow more and more and more. They absolutely have to, in order to keep the Ponzi Scheme from collapsing. Our government literally prints money from nothing. That is, there is no gold to back it up, as existed originally. Since there is no actual wealth involved (President Richard Nixon removed our U.S. currency completely from the Gold Standard in 1971), they have to keep printing more "funny money" (as Dr. Ron Paul rightly calls it).

Yes, our money is WORTHLESS! When our government collapses, U.S. currency will be worth nothing! In sharp contrast, Roman coins from thousands of years ago are still worth something, because of their intrinsic metallurgic content. The Federal Reserve scam is the primary reason for homelessness across the United States, due to skyrocketing inflation and outrageous housing costs. Professor G. Edward Griffin summarized his book, "The Creature From Jekyll Island," with this one statement: "Inflation is a tax!"

I have shared with you one sore evil in our nation, which 99% of pastors refuse to study and expose as they ought. A preacher has a duty to preach against all falsehoods. Instead, if you attend the average church you'll hear a sugarstick sermonette lacking Holy Spirit love, truth, conviction and power. PCC is spiritually dead!!! Psalms 119:104, "Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way."

When Adolf Hitler rose to tyrannical power in Germany during World War II, 85% of churches in Germany rallied behind him. That is wickedness!!! Sadly, when President George W. Bush and company LIED, bearing false witness against our neighbors in Iraq, our nation went to war to invade and conquer a sovereign nation. OUR government does what they do in OUR name, with OUR children in the military, with OUR trillions of taxpayer dollars, so it is is OUR business!

The Iraqi War is blatant INJUSTICE!!! No alleged Weapons Of Mass Destruction were ever found. Criminal leaders' Dick Cheney, George H. Bush, George W. Bush, Donald Rumsfeld, Condoleezza Rice, to name but a few kingpins, all have the blood of 1,455,590 murdered Iraqis on their hands. They have the blood of 4,487 U.S. soldiers killed in the Iraqi War. That is why I discourage young people from enrolling into the U.S. military, you may end up being ordered to murder innocent people (as were the Roman soldiers ordered by Herod to murder thousands of Jewish children in Bible times).

Our U.S. government is corrupt, incompetent and ungodly, and sadly they are above the law, having no accountability at the highest levels. That is why our ungodly U.S. Justice Department refused to even investigate the 911 attacks. Their lame excuse is that it is a matter of national security. It is wickedness!!! They make a gigantean deal of President Donald Trump having top secret files in his possession, while ignoring the cruel blatant murder of 2,997 U.S. citizens.

Truthfully, 911 was an Inside Job, orchestrated by the Bush Administration, and everyone knows it!!! 2 planes cannot bring down 3 buildings. We know that planes DIDN'T bring down the World Trade Center, professionally planted demolition charges did, which took months to accomplish. That explains why younger Marvin Bush, the youngest of the criminal Bush Family, literally oversaw the security systems for the World Trade Center for the 2-years leading up to the 911 attacks. Truth is stranger than fiction!!!

It is true that as the New World Order (NWO) develops, nearly all professed Christians will go along to support it. They're already guilty of this woeful evil. Every church and Bible college that uses, sells, promotes or bids Godspeed to the Devil's modern corrupt Bible revisions is supporting the NWO. ...

New World Order Bible Versions

The foolish Zionist churches who support modern-day manmade Israel (formed by the United Nations in May of 1948) are supporting and helping the Devil's NWO. To clarify, I am exposing Luciferian Zionism (false Israel). Satan is a master imitator (2nd Corinthians 11:13-15). In the Bible we read about the true Christ, true Israel and the true coming Kingdom of Jesus Christ during the 1,000 year period known as the Millennium. Satan counterfeits these things:

1. False Christ ("Antichrist," meaning, "in place of Christ"). The Antichrist will claim to be the Messiah and demand worship as almighty God.
2. False Israel (just as Abraham and Sarah refused to wait for God's promise of a son, ungodly men have refused to wait for Jesus' Second Coming, taking matters into their own hands as did Abraham and Sarah. Unsaved men have recreated manmade Israel since 1948, demanding for God to bless a wicked, arrogant and Christ-rejecting people. The Lord won't bless Israel today! The Bible teaches that Israel will suffer defeat again and again until Christ returns. Luke 21:24, "And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled." The times of the Gentiles will end only when Christ returns, the stone cut out of the mountain without hands in the prophet Daniel's dream. Daniel 2:34, "Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces." Israel has no claim to divine protection at this present time in history.
3. False Kingdom (the New World Order is Satan's completion of what he started at the tower and city of Babel in Genesis 11:1-11. The NWO is Satan's attempt to unite humanity in rebellion against God).

What saith the Scripture? Matthew 24:24, "For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect." So many false professed "Christians" at present are wickedly sold out to the NWO. They are using the Devil's Bibles, trusting in the Devil's counterfeit gospel called 'Lordship Salvation, trusting in a false meaning of repentance to be saved, trusting in works and water baptism, trusting in sacraments and men, et cetera.

These are all evils. The sworn enemy of all evil, and the NWO is THE TRUTH!!! In the Bible, in Ephesians 6:10-17, one of the 7 items of the believer's armour and weaponry is THE TRUTH. When tempted by the Devil in Matthew 4:1-10 and again in Luke 4:1-13, Jesus used the weapon of THE TRUTH to drive the Devil back into his hole that he crawled out of.
The best way to expose the darkness is to shine the light of THE TRUTH.

The Mess At Pensacola Christian College

Isaiah 1:4, “Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.”

It is no revelation that America is going to Hell in a wheelbarrow. Everywhere we turn nowadays, all we see is bizarre news stories, apostasy in the churches and Bible colleges, and a nation that has lost its bearings. In this blog I am going to expose one of the most damaging spiritually corrupt institutions in our nation, Pensacola Christian College (PCC). I will also reveal some dangerous theological trends and spiritual corruption at PCC's Campus Church (CC).

Let's get started. In July of 2021 I started attending Campus Church (CC). At CC their senior pastor is Jeff Redlin. I wasn't even at their church for a week, and Jeff Redlin belittled me as a human being. I kindly introduced myself to him as a new church member. I explained my longtime suffering from spinal stenosis and radiculopathy. I kindly explained that my former wife had divorced me 15 years earlier in 2006. I kindly told Pastor Redlin that I had just moved to Pensacola from the island of Guam, where I had lived for 17 years. I also mentioned in a single statement that I hoped to find a wife at Campus Church. I explained that I was living out of a suitcase in a cheap local motel. I couldn't have been more friendly and respectful.

To my dismay and great disappointment, Pastor Jeff Redlin cruelly replied, scolding me for saying that I hoped to find a wife at Campus Church. I was blown away by the immaturity of the pastor of such a large so-called Christian institution. Where was the love of God? I mean, I had just met this pastor a few days earlier at the church's annual 4th of July picnic. What kind of pastor patronizes someone new to church, whom they just met a few days earlier, and has never even had one conversation with? To his utter shame, at no time did Pastor Redlin ever express even the least bit of concern, compassion, sympathy or empathy for my pain of soul, divorce, health problems, loneliness or difficult housing situation as a new church member. To his shame, Jeff Redlin only childishly focused on my statement that I hoped to find a wife, condemning me for desiring to have a companion just like he does. What a hypocrite!

It is true that first impressions are lasting impressions. When I met Pastor Redlin at the 4th of July picnic, I kindly told him that I was sleeping in Walmart's parking lot on Mobile Highway. I saw the startled look on his face, like he didn't know what to do. To his shame he literally just walked away and that was the end of it. That told me right away that Jeff Redlin is a coward who runs away from opportunities to help people in need. With thousands of dorm rooms at PCC, numerous millionaires in their church, tens of thousands of church members, and Redlin himself getting paid $125,000 a year by a megachurch, I would have expected so much more from him as a leader; but Jeff just walked away, because he only cares about himself.

To no surprise, the weeks to follow further revealed the carnality of Jeff Redlin. After his mistreatment of me, I felt like Pastor Redlin held a grudge against me for some reason. So again, I kindly emailed him and simply asked if I am welcomed at Campus Church as a divorced me who intends to remarry. Pastor Redlin totally ignored me for 10 days.

God Commands Christian Men To Contend For The Faith

Jude 1:3, “Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.”

So after a Sunday morning church service in July of 2021, I kindly approached Pastor Jeff Redlin to ask if he had received my email. To my disgust and frustration, he said in front of his lovely wife: “I might as well answer your question now, if you do find a woman to marry I won't perform the wedding.” I was cut to the heart by his abusive words.

So, I emailed him the next day to assertively let Redlin know how I felt, that he had been insensitive, rude and abusive toward me as a human being. Pastor Redlin shamefully replied by criticizing my website ministry, saying that he and his associate pastors see that I “find weaknesses in preachers.” The truth is that I preach against bad preachers who lie to people. The truth is that I rightly “rebuke them sharply” (Titus 1:13b). The truth is that I am obeying God to “earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints” (Jude 1:3b). The truth is that the PCC camp DON'T contend for the faith. I am going somewhere with all this, so please bear with me. PCC and CC are a mess!!! They are essentially the same organization, although legally separated for tax and other legal purposes. The PCC camp as a whole is an ungodly CULT! When I mention the “PCC camp,” that includes Campus Church and all their complicit alumni worldwide who follow cult headquarters at PCC.

The PCC Camp Doesn't Contend For The Faith

When Pastor Jeff Redlin wickedly accused me of “finding weaknesses in preachers,” that spoke volumes to me concerning the ungodly apostate condition of the PCC camp. These are their top leaders speaking foolishness! I had heard for decades that PCC are shallow, refusing to get involved with any controversial theological matters (e.g., exposing the Devil's corrupt bibles, refuting the Devil's damnable lie of Lordship Salvation, exposing the Devil's deadly lie of misunderstood repentance regarding getting saved, exposing dangerous false prophets like Ken Ham, refuting Satan's Calvinism in the unsaved Bob Jones University camp, et cetera). Sadly, the PCC camp all about taking in more money (tens of millions of dollars each year), while adamantly refusing to contend for the Christian faith to avoid offending anyone.

The biggest danger in churches today is their lackadaisical attitude toward doctrinal error. The biggest sin in churches today is their indifference. The biggest threat to churches today are the apostate Bible colleges who train their pastors!!! Less than 1% of so-called “Bible colleges” believe and teach that the King James Bible is inspired by God. The popular misconception is that God was incapable of preserving His very pure Words for every generation (Psalms 119:140; Psalms 12:6-7).

Tragically, Psalms 12:7 has been perverted in every modern corrupt Bible revision. The reason why is obvious, because if God did in fact preserve His inspired pure Words, then there can only be ONE true Bible in the English language. Sadly, we have hundreds of English Bible versions available today, literally. The only people I know who defend the Devil's Bible revisions are all infidel neo-evangelicals, who foolishly trust in Satan's damnable lies of Lordship Salvation and wrong repentance. Satan is a master liar and deceiver (John 8:44; Genesis 3:1-5).

When I lived on Guam, I attended the Lighthouse Baptist Church for several months. Sean Quinlan was their incompetent intern pastor from PCC. From Pastor Quinlan I learned a lot about the shameful attitude of the PCC camp toward heresy and error. In short, they just don't care or think heresy is something worth refuting. The inspired Word of God in Proverbs 3:5-7 warns us not to lean upon our own understanding, but to acknowledge God in all our ways. That includes acknowledging the Lord in all doctrinal matters, and how we should interact and deal with false prophets. ...

Romans 16:17, “Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.”

Young Earth Creationist (YEC) Evangelist Ken Ham is a dangerous false prophet! Like all false teachers, Ken Ham corrupts the Gospel, by adding more requirements to be saved than to solely rest upon Christ's sacrifice on the cross for our sins. According to Ken Ham, in addition to faith in Christ, you must turn away from your past sinful ways to be saved. Sadly, the ungodly leaders at PCC and CC wickedly bid Godspeed to Ken Ham, showing his heretical YEC videos to church members and students alike. And worse, PCC promotes Ken Ham's counterfeit plan of salvation, further enabling and facilitating his false gospel.

The PCC camp also have much blood on their hands, for wickedly bidding Godspeed to the Calvinist Bob Jones University (BJU) cult. The Bible warns in 2nd John 1:11 that you become an accomplice, a guilty partaker, of someone's evil deeds if you bid them Godspeed. By sinfully supporting the BJU camp, PCC will be held accountable by God for partaking of their damnable Calvinist false doctrines, use and promotion of Devil's bibles and ungodly ecumenism (i.e., cooperation between believers and unbelievers). BJU are not true born-again Christians because they preach another gospel (Galatians 1:6-9). BJU sadly preaches the Devil's lies of Lordship Salvation and misunderstood repentance. ...

• False Bibles: An Enemy Of Soulwinning (BJU and Harvest Baptist Church of Guam are GUILTY!)
• Misunderstood Repentance: An Enemy Of Soulwinning (Harvest Baptist Church Guam GUILTY!)
• Lordship Salvation: An Enemy Of Soulwinning (BJU and Harvest Baptist Church Guam GUILTY!)

Why does the PCC camp wickedly bid Godspeed to BJU, Ken Ham and other infidels? RIGHT DOCTRINE MATTERS!!! The sins of Campus Church are great, lasting and woeful. Pensacola Christian College (PCC) is a gargantuan mess spiritually, theologically and concerning how they treat people. Search the internet concerning PCC's abuse of people, and you will find umpteen disturbing true stories of mistreatment, unfairness, emotional abuse, hatred and carnal behavior by PCC leadership.

In 2022, I humbly wrote three separate friendly letters, which I mailed to PCC and CC. I sincerely apologized for offending them (I had criticized them on social media), and I pleaded to come back to church. I offered to remove all my criticisms and not pout them back, if they'd just allow me to attend Campus Church again. I am an ethical man (something that PCC leaders are evidently incapable of doing themselves). Sadly, PCC and CC leaders boldly refused. PCC didn't even have the decency to reply, so they deserve all the criticisms they get (and I'm just getting started exposing their cult that throws people under the bus). Pastor Jeff Redlin totally ignored me for 6 weeks. Only when I became frustrated from being ignored, and lashed out on social media against them, did Redlin email me to tell me I am banned from attending Campus Church. Only a cult mistreats people like they have abused me at PCC.

The sad truth is that PCC and CC leadership are as carnally-minded as can be. They are a bunch of academic yuppie types, who do not walk closely with the Lord. For if they did, they would possess the unconditional love of God toward all humanity. I love everybody, unconditionally. I am not a respecter of persons, but they are at PCC. If the mayor of Pensacola told Jeff Redlin that he hoped to find a wife at Campus Church, Pastor Redlin in a thousand years wouldn't have scolded him like he shamefully did me. That is because Jeff Redlin is an ungodly respecter of persons (James 2:1). A pastor is a fool to scold a 54-year-old man for desiring to remarry after being divorced for 15 years. I am astounded at the juvenile immaturity of PCC and CC leadership. Truly, this is sickening!

PCC has a poor reputation regarding how they handle hurting students and church members. Here is one example that I found on social media, which exposes the ongoing abusive authoritarian culture at PCC...

Benjamin Daggett (2016)

After four years in PCC I cannot in good conscience recommend this school. Although the educational experience was good. The student life department controls and monitors every action of the students on campus. Instead of letting adult college students make their own decisions, the college enforces things like church attendance and bed times. The college zealously enforces its church attendance rules. When I had a torn ACL and had surgery the next day, I was told I had to go to church or be forced go to a video recording of the service on Saturday. Also since my leg was swollen and in a big bulky cast I asked the Student Life department if I could wear shorts to class since pants were painful to put on and wear but I was told I still had to wear pants. Dean Omen said I could wear "athletic" pants but those do not solve my problem. The school is more concerned with enforcing rules than actually caring for its students. SOURCE

I read a really good article today called: 'Why Blindly Following The Rules Is A Mistake.' Wow, that article practically provides the address to Pensacola Christian College. Literally, PCC leadership is pennywise and dollar stupid. They are superficially wise in minor matters, but utterly fail to see the big picture. By enforcing their authoritarian system of oppression and rules, while lacking the common sense and godly compassion that should always supersede their totalitarian rules, they blatantly confirm their status at PCC as being a thuggish religious CULT!!!

I made the following YouTube videos to share my own painful experience of being abused, shunned and bullied at Pensacola Christian College and their pathetic Campus Church...

Pensacola Christian College Cult Exposed

Individual People Don't Matter At Pensacola Christian College

You know, the way that we treat people matters. When I started attending Campus Church at PCC, Pastor Redlin let the cat out of the bag, when he said that someone contacted the information desk to slander me. One of my enemies from the Bob Jones camp contacted Campus Church, and the shameful pastors of Campus Church sided with my enemies. The fact of the matter is that the ungodly Harvest Baptist Church on Guam is in bed spiritually with PCC and BJU (their cult headquarters at Harvest). Harvest's KHNG 88.1 radio station on Guam even has Jeff Redlin's name posted on their webpage.

Furthermore, the man who runs the radio station at PCC, has an adult son who now runs the radio station for Harvest Baptist Church on Guam. When I attended Harvest Baptist Church on Guam for a year in 2014, I met and prayed with the man who now runs the radio station at PCC. It's a small world! My point is that PCC, and the Calvinist Lordship-Salvation-preaching BJU camp are all in bed together, committing spiritual whoredom, which is idolatry. These apostates are all connected at the hip, wickedly hobnobbing with each other to make more money. Sadly, I am the only one who is making a fuss about the damnable Calvinist heresy being preached at BJU and the Harvest Baptist Church on Guam.

PCC has been adversely affected by the BJU cult. Galatians 4:16-17, “Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth? They zealously affect you, but not well; yea, they would exclude you, that ye might affect them.” PCC are utter fools to buddy buddy with the accursed Bob Jones camp, who promote Satan's corruptible seed, and preach Satan's counterfeit plan of salvation called Lordship Salvation.

PCC is a mess today!!! They are infamous for mistreating people, especially those who have been divorced. When I attended Campus Church in 2021, one of their staff members with 23 years of employment confided to me that divorced people are either shunned at PCC, or they avoid coming their at all. Dear reader, that is NOT Bible Christianity!!! At PCC there is a sinful haughty, proud, arrogant and stiffnecked evil spirit of self-righteousness. No doubt they would deny such an accurate claim, but their bullying and abuse of umpteen victims speaks for itself.

PCC is a mess! They refuse to fight the good fight of faith. Their Campus Church pastors don't feed God's sheep. When I attended the Pensacola Interstate Fair in October of 2022, I stopped by the PCC religious booth in one of the exhibit buildings. The two fools who ran the PCC booth were as ignorant theologically as a box of rocks! I say that kindly, but truthfully. Both guys told me that they believe in Lordship Salvation.

One of them shamefully told me that they teach the same garbage as Dr. Steve Pettit at BJU, claiming that justification, sanctification and glorification are a package deal which cannot be separated. In other words, if your not living a changed life, you've never repetend of your sins and are not saved at all. That is NOT the Gospel of free grace. It is clear to me that PCC is full of tares (unsaved religious people in the churches). The problem is that Pastor Redlin fails to feed the congregation with truth. Pastor Redlin merely delivers his sugarstick sermonettes weekly, collecting his disgusting 6-digit annual salary, getting paid 4 times more than the average U.S. worker.

Also, PCC and CC do not go soulwinning. In fact, they absolutely refuse to use the term “soulwinning,” because the term is commonly associated with Pastor Jack Hyles (1926-2001). Instead, PCC calls it “passing out flyers.” What a pathetic joke! A handful of PCC college men stand outside a coffee shop and pass out flyers to invite people to Campus Church, and they call that “witnessing.” No, it is properly called, “soliciting.” And in the sad case of PCC, I would also call it, “loitering.”

In truth, there is no actual soulwinning at PCC!!! I was sickened as I sat in the pews of Campus Church, and heard Pastor Redlin shamefully charge $10 for anyone who wanted to attend a church meeting on how to more effectively share the Gospel. There is no real soulwinning at Campus Church or PCC. They just want to maintain a superficial façade of being a fundamental Bible college, to save face and fool prospective students; when in reality PCC has become an apostate neo-evangelical nightmare, where no caring and wise parent would ever enroll their impressionable child. Please RUN from this place!!!

The real reason why they won't permit me to return to attend Campus Church is because I am a threat to the PCC camp. I am a truth-teller. I SPEAK UP for God. I think objectively, whereas 99% of PCC's students and church members mindlessly follow their incompetent leaders, who fill their brains with neo-evangelical apostasy. PCC's members blindly follow whatever their cult leaders tell them. That is a cult, not a New Testament church. Learn to think for yourself. Question everything. Please RUN from the PCC camp!!!

The Astounding Confusion In Today’s Churches

by Pastor Lee Roberson

(1909-2007)

(Preached at the National Sword of the Lord Conference, 1999)

I want to speak on “The Astounding Confusion in Today’s Churches.” I’m saying that after visiting literally thousands of churches in all of these years of my ministry and visiting over a hundred every year, one after another, week after week. Now here is my text:

“And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.

“And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

“And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

“Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ.” —Matthew 16:17–20

As I travel around, in every city, I notice churches. There are seven denominations that are prominently seen in almost every city where you go: Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian, Church of God, Church of Christ, Roman Catholic and Episcopalian. There may be others, but I’m giving you seven that are the major ones. You have them here. They’re all different. They all have different confessions of faith and different ideas about how to run things. With some exceptions, they profess to believe the Word of God.

But there is an astounding confusion in today’s churches. For example, there’s confusion on salvation. The Bible teaches salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. The Bible is clear on that, but there is confusion. Some believe in salvation by works; some, in salvation by baptism; some, in salvation by church membership. On and on they go.

Then there’s confusion on standards of living. How should we live? That confusion is everywhere, in every city, on how Christians ought to live, how they should behave, what they should do. Some are weak, and they turn away to the world and the sins of the world. Their members do, and their pastors do. The pastors lead in it. Others are strict and believe the Scriptures and try to live a separated life.

Again, there’s confusion in leadership. Some believe in a called-out ministry. I do. I believe God calls men to preach and missionaries to go out to the mission field. But some do not believe that. Some take the ministry as a business, paying a good salary, and as a public opportunity. There’s confusion in all of that.

Then there’s confusion of purpose. Why do we have a local church? What is the purpose of the local church? Well, some believe we’re going to change society, make America a better nation. No, that’s not it. The purpose of our church is to win souls to Christ. That’s the purpose of a local church, to win people to the loving Son of God. That’s the business we must hold to all the time. The Great Commission has been given to us, and we must not turn away.

All of this confusion! Christians are confused, and churches are confused. But what about lost sinners? What about the unsaved? They’re confused also by hearing a multiplicity of ideas and thoughts. And I don’t blame them sometimes. They get all worked up when they hear Baptist and Methodist and Presbyterian and Church of God and Church of Christ teaching, all of them mixed together. They say, “What are we to believe?”

My friend, we must come back to the Word of God. This Book is our standard, and this is what we must have in your church and in my church and in every church. If we are to get things right, eternally right, we have to follow the holy Word of God. When we hold to the Book we’re then sure of where we stand.

I. There Is Confusion on the Way of Salvation

Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” (John 14:6). That’s clear. That’s clear for everyone—Christ, the only Saviour of lost men. One way of salvation:

“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves:”

“it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” —Ephesians 2:8, 9

Good works cannot save; baptism cannot save; church membership cannot save. “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved” (Acts 4:12).

This we must see: Christ died for our sin. The world is confused about it. They’re confused about that little term, being “born again.” They don’t know what it’s all about. Some do; some don’t; many don’t. They are confused, but how simple it is. Understand that for everyone, Jesus Christ is the Saviour and the only Saviour and He saves to the uttermost all who repent, believe and come to Him!

This is simple, understandable to young people. This is understandable to the uneducated man. This is simple to the man of foreign extraction who comes to this country and hears the Gospel. He can be saved. This is understandable to the derelict of the streets, way down deep in sin. He can be saved by simple faith in Christ.

I’m giving you all that to emphasize this matter of the present day and what we should see—the way of salvation—and what we should hold to in our preaching and our teaching. Give the way of salvation clearly and distinctly every time you preach. Every time you stand before people, you tell them that Christ is the only Saviour.

What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

We have to hold to that. We’re living in a tough day, a confused day. It’s confused by radio, television, newspapers, magazines, books. Everything is confusing. There’s confusion in Washington, D.C. It’s badly confused! But New York City and Chicago, anywhere you go, there is the same thing. People are confused, and they’re searching; they’re seeking; they’re asking. My friend, we must give them what God says from His Word. They must hear the Word of God.

II. There Is Confusion on the Way of Life

So there’s confusion about the matter of salvation. Then there’s confusion on the way of life, how to live this life. The Word of God gives us so many wonderful things on that. We could turn in the Word of God and read them to you, about what God has promised for all of us:

“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”

“Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.” —Matthew 11:28, 29

We can find everywhere in the Word of God instruction on how we’re to live and what we should do.

The apostle Paul puts it in the words of Romans 12:1, 2:

“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.”

“And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”

How to live is very important. Paul said, “Abstain from all appearance of evil” (1st Thessalonians 5:22). The confusion of living! There is confusion today about what we should do and what we shouldn’t do. Yet the Word of God is very clear: “Abstain from all appearance of evil.” Live for Christ. That’s for every one of us—no compromise at all. We live by the Word of God. We live by the Book. We live by the indwelling Holy Spirit. He’s in you, child of God; and if He’s in you, He’s there to cleanse your life and direct your life and empower your life. The Holy Spirit indwells you, and we live by this indwelling Holy Spirit.

Then, we live by His example. We’re to follow Him and do what He would have us to do. That’s the matter of our living day by day, being in the right place at the right time, saying the right thing, doing what God wants us to do with our lives, not wasting our lives but using them to the glory of God.

That means to live a separated life. That’s the believer’s present life—separated from the world. If there’s a doubt or a question about something, don’t do it. You say, “What about dancing? What about the picture show?” If you have a question about something, don’t do it. And you’ll have your questions, so turn away and say, “I want to do what God said. I want to follow Him and live in His light.” We’re to live in that way.

Then live the life of Holy Spirit power. I can’t say too much about this. Child of God, if you’re saved, you have the Holy Spirit in you now. He wants to empower you. He wants to fill you and use you and make you into what He wants you to be. You say, “O God, I want the fullness of the Holy Spirit upon my life. I want to know the presence and the power of God. I want to live and teach and preach and sing and have whatever I do to be for the glory of God. I want the Holy Spirit to direct me and to use me.” He wants to fill you. That means to control your life completely.

Then we’re to bring others to Christ. That’s our business—to let our light shine that we might bring people to the Son of God. The power of a dedicated life! The power of a life that’s so close to the Lord that people can sense and feel it.

Don’t rush by this thought. You have only one life. Don’t misuse it. Don’t ignore responsibilities. You have only one life—that’s all. Don’t be confused by the voice of the world. The way of the Light is simple. It’s given to us in the Word of God. Hold to that with all of your heart.

In this present day, in all of the confusion of this time, the way of salvation is clear. Men are saved by faith in Jesus Christ.

This matter of a way of life in this present life, what we’re to do, is also clear. The Bible prescribes what we’re to do, what we’re to say, how we’re to act, where we’re to go, how we’re to behave. The Bible tells us how, and you follow the holy Word of God. Live so that others can be brought into touch with our blessed Lord.

Then I come to my third thought:

III. There Is Confusion on the Work of Life

“But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.” —Acts 1:8

That’s clear, and that’s what you’re to be. You’re to be a witness by your life, a witness by your words, a witness by your actions, a witness by your decisions. You’re to make all your decisions based upon the leadership of God in your life.

Here’s the work of life: to point people to the Lamb of God. The work of God is for us to carry out the Great Commission of our Saviour, to get the Gospel to the ends of the earth that people might hear and be saved. We’re to be witnesses, witnessing for Him day by day and night by night. That’s the work of life. Don’t be confused on that. It’s your job. It’s as simple as ABC, and you’re to keep with it night and day, pressing upon people their need of Christ and pointing them to the Lamb of God.

I gave invitations in Highland Park Baptist Church for more than forty years and six months, every single service—Sunday morning, Sunday night, Wednesday night. Every service I pressed upon people that they had the need of Christ. We saw literally thousands saved. I baptized thousands and thousands of converts in those forty years.

We must emphasize this matter of the work of life, getting people to Christ and then showing people what they’re to do with their lives when they are born again and saved. They’re to be witnesses for Him. Every child of God—the man, the woman, the young, the old—is to be a witness for the loving Saviour.

We should witness through our daily lives. Live in such a way that others can see Christ in you. You don’t have to make any apology or any excuses. You don’t have to hide. You have nothing to cover up. There’s nothing doubtful. You’re simply living for Christ, every moment saying, “Lord, I want You to use me to point someone to the Lamb of God.”

If you’re doubtful in your living, your actions, your words, your speech, your demeanor of life, you’ll fail. But if you live a positive life so that no one can doubt you or what you stand for, you’re living a holy life for Christ.

Witness by your daily life—not a doubtful life or a questionable life, but one that will let them know what you are. Be definite and positive so they can look at you and know what they should be if they come to the Lord Jesus Christ.

Then witness by your worship habits. I have a motto I’ve given my people for years: “Three to thrive.” In all this time I’ve never known a man to backslide who attended church Sunday morning, Sunday night and Wednesday night. I’ve had a lot to backslide who quit coming to prayer meeting. I’ve had a lot of them to backslide who didn’t come to Sunday night and Wednesday night. But I’ve never known a man to backslide who would attend all those services, sincerely, with Bible in hand. God would do something for him.

Witness by your worship by inviting people to the house of God. There’s something beautiful about going to church. There’s something beautiful about a family gathering in the car to drive to church on Sunday morning—Mother and Father and children, driving to the house of God to worship God. You witness by your worship habits. Have the motto for your family: “Three to thrive”—Sunday morning, Sunday night, prayer meeting.

Then, you witness by your spoken testimony. He said, “Ye shall be witnesses unto me.” We’re to be witnessing for Him daily. That’s in the visitation for the church, knocking on doors, telling people of the Saviour and witnessing for Christ.

We had a visitation program for forty years in Chattanooga, every Thursday night. We would go out and knock on doors all over Chattanooga. We kept it up year after year, week after week, and kept on maintaining the visitation time of pointing people to the Lamb of God and pointing people to Christ and getting people into the Sunday school to hear the Word of God as it is taught.

So witness by your spoken testimony. Keep this up all the time. You witness by your daily life. You witness by your worship. You witness by your testimony that you’re giving for Christ. We’re here because someone witnessed to us.

I’m here tonight because a little Sunday school teacher named Mrs. Daisy Hawes witnessed to me. I went to the Sunday school because a young man, a neighbor, took me to Sunday school in an old Ford car. We drove to the old Cedar Creek Baptist Church outside Louisville, and there I heard the Gospel for the first time from the voice of a little lady Sunday school teacher, teaching boys. (That’s not usually done, you know, today.) We were a crowd of boys at thirteen and fourteen years of age, but she taught us. She gave us the Gospel. I heard for the first time in my life that I’m saved by faith in Jesus Christ. She had me quoting John 3:16 and other familiar verses and pointed me to the Lamb of God.

Ye shall be witnesses by your testimony, and you’re so to testify daily by your speech and your actions that you’re pointing people to the blessed Saviour. You’re here tonight in this meeting because someone witnessed to you—some preacher, some evangelist, some mother or father, some friend or loved one witnessed to you. Somehow you heard the Gospel, and you read the Word of God, and you received Christ as your loving Saviour.

God wants to use all of us, and we’re living in strange, confusing days. Confusion is over the whole nation. It’s everywhere. People are confused. They don’t know which way to go. They’re up and down, in and out. They’re not sure of what they should be, but God has a way of letting them know. In this amazing, unusual day, we have a confession of faith and a knowledge of our Lord and a message to give to them that Christ died for sinners and will save all who repent and come to Him.

In this astounding, astonishing confusion of the day, we should know Christ. Know that you know Him, reader. What a pitiful thing it would be for a man or woman to hear the message of God over and over and go away lost. Yet some have done it. They do it in all churches in every place.

Know Christ. Then live for Christ. Say, “I want to witness for Him every day. In this astonishing, amazing, needy day, I want to witness for Him and let people know about Him. I want to live for Him every hour. I want to give that gospel message: ‘Christ died for our sins.’ I want to keep pressing it upon the hearts of people—men and women, boys and girls—everywhere.”

God, give us a unity in our thinking and a joy in the business of telling the story of Christ and going out everywhere, in every street and highway, pointing people to the Lamb of God, saying, “This is the message God has given me.”

There is astounding confusion in this day, but you’re not to be confused. You’re here in this conference. You’ve read this message. Now have your mind and heart filled with it and go out as one who’s been empowered of God, filled with the Spirit of God, with a message of God in your heart to give to people everywhere.

Take something special from this message—something that maybe others do not have, but you’ll have it. You’ll be able to share it and able to stand for Christ and live for Christ every moment and every hour that others might be blessed by your life and ministry and message.

Give us unity on the way of salvation—Christ as Saviour.
Give us unity on the way of life—separation from the world.
Give us unity on the work of life—witnessing for Christ.
The way of salvation, the way of life, the work of life and victory are through the blessed Saviour, Jesus Christ!

I want God to use you and pray that God will use you. This is a strange, unusual day in which we live. We’re turning from the Bible. We’re closing up Sunday night services. We’re giving up the prayer meeting. We’re changing everything all around. In this strange, unusual day, this is a time for you who have read this message and know what it’s all about to go out as a missionary, as an evangelist, to point people to the Lamb of God and say, “This is it!” In this strange, unusual day, say, “This is the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. He can save and keep and satisfy.” Get people to Christ. They’re hungry.

I was preaching one day in Texas. As I stood in the pulpit, two men came in the back door. One was a great big fellow. He had on a bright red shirt and had a big red cap on his head. He came in and sat down with the cap on his head. Ordinarily, when a man walked into church at Highland Park with a cap on his head, I stopped everything and told him to take it off in the house of God. I looked at that fellow. He was too big! I said, “Lord, I’d better leave him alone.” There he sat right back there—a big, big fellow with a big red cap on his head.

I came to the end of my message and gave the invitation, and people started coming forward. I walked back to him. I said, “Son, are you saved?”

He said, “Ah, I don’t want to think about it.”

“Would you like to be? Would you like to be a Christian, saved, born-again, going to Heaven when you die?”

“Yes, I would.”

I said, “Come on!”

He left that place and started down the aisle. I reached up and took the red cap off his head and threw it under a bench—got rid of that. He came and knelt down in front of the bench. I put the Bible down in front of him. I read the Word of God to him. I said, “This is it! Christ died for you. He’ll save you now and give you everlasting life.”

That great big, rugged fellow, tough as nails, bowed his head and said, “Yes sir, I’ll trust Him now. I’ll take Him as my Saviour now.”

He stood up there, a big fellow, taller than I am, big, husky, crying like a baby.

I said, “Son, how did you get here tonight, coming in here with your hat on?”

He said, “He brought me.” He pointed to a little man sitting there who must not have weighed over 125 pounds.

I said, “What do you mean, he brought you?”

He said, “Well, I was standing there in front of the drugstore, talking to the boys, having a big time; and he walked by and said, ‘Let’s go to church.’

“I said, ‘No, I don’t go to church—don’t like churches.’

“That little man back there said to me, ‘Are you afraid to go?’

“I told that little man back there, ‘I’m not afraid of anything or anybody.’

“He said, ‘Good! Come on!’ That’s how he got me here. Thank God I’m saved. Thank God I’m a Christian.”

Now, my dear friend, that’s the thing I want you to see. There is this strange, astounding confusion today. It is all around us. You see it on every hand. You hear it on the radio, don’t you? You get it on television and in your newspaper. It’s everywhere. People are confused; they don’t know what to think.

You come back to the Word. Come back to the way of salvation. Come back to the way of life in Christ, separated from the world. Come back with the great hope in the second coming of our Saviour. Jesus is coming again! Begin to preach and teach and live in the light of these certainties. Sunday school teachers, ushers in the church, people of the church, no matter what you may be, let your light shine. Live in such a way that people know you belong to the loving Saviour.
