The glory and honor of our Lord Jesus Christ and the purity of His Gospel is exceedingly worth defending for the sake of the precious souls who are victims of deception. Christians cannot allow error to masquerade as truth, nor can we let a lie of the devil go unabated. We must earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered to the saints 2000 years ago. The aggressive attacks on the Christian faith continue to be aimed at four strategic targets: the supremacy of God's Word, the sufficiency of God's Son, the sovereignty of God's grace and the singularity of God's Gospel.

John Armstrong, an adjunct professor of evangelism at Wheaton College Graduate School, along with Roman Catholic Cardinal George of Chicago, will meet at Wheaton College for A Conversation on Unity in Christ's Mission. Their dialogue will explore the common ground shared by Catholics and evangelical Protestants for the purpose of missional-ecumenism. Armstrong, who is a professing evangelical, states on his blog that he has greatly profited from the writing and spiritual insights of Fr. Richard Rohr, the well-known Catholic mystic teacher and writer from New Mexico. 

Editor's note: It is hard to believe how evangelicals can seek unity with the very religion that tortured, brutalized and murdered hundreds of thousands of Christians who refused to bow their knee to Rome. Armstrong and all those under his influence should look to Charles Spurgeon rather than a Catholic priest. Spurgeon said this about the Roman Catholic Church, "There is a deep and indelible sentence of damnation written upon the apostate church...the curse is registered in heaven, its infamy is engraven in the rock forever, followers of Jesus should oppose it with all their might."

In the 20 years of serving in the ministry of Proclaiming the Gospel, God has protected us from many of the fierry darts of the enemy. The attacks are usually in the form of malicious slander, defamatory words or false accusations. There have also been threats to destroy the ministry and several attempts to demolish our web site. Two of the attempts were traced back to the Archdiocese of Santa Fe and the Vatican. You can see the latest attacks here.

 

Several years ago, I was invited to Cornerstone Church in Simi Vally, California, to teach a seminar on Biblical Principles for Evangelizing Roman Catholics. I was told in advance that there would be many Catholics in the audience, along with reporters from the secular news media. Knowing this, I delivered the 90-minute message with much prayer, compassion and uncompromising truth. The objective differences between the teachings and traditions of Rome and the Word of God were presented using the Catechism of the Catholic Church. The Lord Jesus Christ was glorified as I proclaimed Him as the all-sufficient Savior who saves repenting sinners completely and forever. The report from the Ventura County Star is here.

Last month, I flew into Memphis to record four one-hour TV shows on Roman Catholicism with Brannon Howse of Worldview Weekend. The programs will be aired on the National Religious Broadcasters station for subscribers of Direct TV. Those who do not subscribe to Direct TV can watch the programs in the Worldview Weekend Situation Room. The first show contrasting the Jesus of Rome with the true Jesus is now available for viewing by clicking here.

 

The debate which Roman Catholic Apologist Tim Staples initiated with me on the topic of Eternal Security is now available on our website: www.pro-gospel.org or in the latest issue of Catholic Answers Magazine. Staples emailed me after the debate to say: "I want you to know that when you decide to come back to the true Faith and the Church that Jesus Christ established, I would love to have you working for us here at Catholic Answers. I thought you did about as good as any Protestant could, given what I believe is such an obviously unbiblical position. You definitely know your stuff."

The Real Roots of the Emergent Church is a new film that takes an honest look at the leaders of the Emerging Church movement such as Brian McLaren, Doug Pagitt, Tony Jones, Rob Bell, Tony Campolo, Dan Kimball, Phyllis Tickle and others. This film takes a look at what the Emerging Church believes concerning the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Scriptures, absolute truth, hell, homosexuality, mysticism, contemplative prayer, other religions, and eschatology in comparison to the Bible.

Apologetics, Apostasy, Ecumenism and Biblical Evangelism are the major themes of these six video messages that were professionally recorded to equip and encourage the saints in their walk with Christ. The messages are all enhanced with Keynote and PowerPoint slides with excellent graphics. Order the February special here. 

 

Wycliffe Bible Tranlators have removed references to God as "Father," to Jesus as "the Son of God." The changes have been made in Bibles they translate for Muslim countries. One example of such a change can be seen in Matthew 28:19. They changed "baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit" to: "cleanse them by water in the name of Allah, his Messiah and his Holy Spirit." More.
