Following Judah's Lion

Let Him be Accursed...

There is nothing like knowing Jesus and His exclusive salvation. There is no one like Jesus and the infinite ways in which He reveals His Person to each believer. And the Spirit guards the Person of Christ and His gospel with a jealous zeal. The Apostle Paul designated two people who should be accursed, including his “anathema maranatha” condemnation. Those who preach another Jesus, and those who preach another gospel are to be considered enemies of the cross. It is the one line of demarcation over which God will not extend mercy, and these two issues are those that God commands us to be unwavering in our rejection and condemnation; even condemnation of the people who spread such lies.
Liberty University, the school founded by the late Jerry Falwell, has invited a Mormon to speak at their commencement ceremony. Oh how the mighty have fallen! Nationalism and politics have now ushered in a new level of compromise and heresy. Read the list of Godly men who have graced the pulpit in years past at Liberty at commencement and look what 2010 has wrought. It is startling, it is amazing, and it is profoundly sad and pitiful. The love of “conservative values” and America has enveloped the love of Jesus Christ. But this is no trivial matter; this is as serious as it gets.
This kind of compromise rivals the Rob Bell’s, and the Rick Warren’s, and the health and wealth lies. This man, Glenn Beck, besides being a caustic idolater who holds the ”founding fathers” in admiration, is a practicing Mormon. Who would have believed the largest evangelical university on the planet would bow so low to politics that one who teaches another Jesus would be invited to speak at the university, and most spectacularly at the commencement ceremony itself? Jesus has left the building. What does the Spirit say about such behavior?

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.

Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.

If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.

Unparalleled are the Spirit’s contempt for those who would preach another Jesus and another gospel, and in fact, God makes it clear that He holds those who join with them in any way, including inviting them into your presence as friends, accountable for their wickedness as well. It is unconscionable to see the depth of such compromise and deceit. Have we reached the point where we cannot find a Godly man who can come and lift up Jesus and His gospel and give that as a commission to the graduating class of professing believers? Talk show hosts, and Mormons at that; that is where we are today?
Hold fast to your faith. The end is upon us.

We have constructed our own evangelical tower of Babel which in the end leads nowhere. We have mixed the holy with the profane. We have become a wild ass, running and frolicking without any restraint. We have jumped the fences of the Lord and we are grazing in the pastures of the heathen.We dine at Hollywood's trough on Saturday night and lift up dirty hands on Sunday. Our church buildings are our glory and our prayer closets are our shame. We worry about the economy but sleep well while souls perish. We make celebrities of preachers and show disdain for praying grandmothers.We herald politicians and refuse to preach Christ on the street. We criticize lost sinners but speak well of the harlot church. We have become prisoners of America's hedonism and yet we proclaim we are free.

Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: We are in desperate need of a massive and church shaking revival that breaks our earthen vessels...
