“Falling Away"
by Pastor Silas Doctor
“1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;”
“The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” Jeremiah 17:9
See below to see this week's sermon.
Do some Pastors and clergy not know or even believe in God? As men, we tend to rely on our own knowledge and intellect. This causes us, in our naivety and pride, to fall away from God's Word, Jesus Christ, and the truth... into our own vane thoughts and beliefs, which are incredibly flawed and deceitful.
Some of the men like this have explored incredibly dangerous ideologies and can exploit their power by persuading their congregations away from God’s Word or play the part, deceptively, sometimes only for financial purposes.
Pastor explores this in today’s message.
Notes & Quotes:
From the Pastors and clergy that has fallen away:
“As long as you’re talking about God and Jesus and the Bible - that’s what they want to hear.”
“If not believing in a supernatural and holy God, makes you an atheist, then I am one.”
“… remains in the ministry largely for financial reasons…”
“I see it as play acting..
From our Pastor:
“Don’t be one that falls away.”
by Pastor Silas Doctor
Folks, I am sharing some thoughts on what the Bible has been warning us about for many years that would happen some day! I believe that time is VERY near!
The next Scriptural event that will soon happen is the Rapture of the Church, which means those that are truly born-again, saved believers will be caught up and meet Jesus!
... The inspiration of the Bible
... The Trinity of God
... The virgin birth of Jesus Christ
... The blood atonement by Christ
... The bodily resurrection of Christ from the dead
... The justification of unsaved by faith
... The person and work of the Holy Spirit
... The call of each believer to spiritual maturity of holiness of life
... The Biblical command to separate unto God from apostasy
... The security of the believer by the power of God
... The personal and imminent return of Christ
... The evangelizing of the unsaved in all the world
