Rhodes is one of our speakers at Understanding the Times 2013.
  by Walid Shoebat and Ben Barrack

This book, written by a former PLO terrorist Walid Shoebat, is an insightful presentation of the changes that have been taking place in America's culture since 9/11, but  especially recent events that are "transforming" America so as to make it almost unrecognizable. 

Walid writes about news no one is reporting: Obama's heritage and Islamic leanings;  the troubling Hillary Clinton/Huma Abedin connection; Benghazi and the Internet video debacle & much more.  One of the most insightful sections of his book are the chapters that look at Islamic infiltration into the church.

 Understanding MORE Deception 
September 4, 2013
 
Like us on Facebook

Follow us on Twitter 


In May, we introduced our Understanding Deception Package covering ten topics that are confusing and deceiving people in the church today.

Due to popular demand, Olive Tree Ministries now has in stock a number of NEW pamphlets that cover MORE of the deceptive practices that are infiltrating the church these days.  They're pamphlets, so they are quick to read (20 minutes) and easy and relatively inexpensive to share with others (one pamphlet for $1.50 or $2.00 or 10 for $15). 
Let me share with you what we have in stock . . .
 
Emerging "progressive Christianity" is changing the way evangelical/Protestant missions is being conducted. The  
idea is that you can go for Jesus, but you don't have to identify yourself as a Christian or part of the Christian church. This concept spills over into some missionary societies too, where

they teach people from other religions that they can keep their religion, just add Jesus to the equation.

Yes, you read that right. They don't have to embrace the term Christian. This effort offers confusion in place of clarity.Get one for $1.50 or 10 for $15.  
 

 

Never in the history of our planet have so many who call themselves Christian claimed visions from God. Encounters with Christ, angels, demons, even saints long departed, have begun to appear in book form, crowding sections of our local Christian bookstores. It is being stated by popular authors that truth is where God has been, but revelation is where He is at the moment. This dichotomy is a contrived one. The Word of God is truth and revelation both, and the timeless truth of God's Word applies to all saints throughout all ages. God is definitely moving in unusual ways today but we must use some caution in accepting everyone's unique experience.  Get one for $2 or 10 for $15.

Described as a Christian novel,
The Shack (written by William Paul Young) sat on the New York Times bestseller list for over 172 consecutive weeks, including 52 weeks at #1, and over 10 million copies of the book are in print. Many Christians have purchased multiple copies and given them to friends and family.  The Shack  reads as a true story, but it is obviously allegorical fiction. The book conveys postmodern spiritual ideas and teachings that challenge biblical Christianity -- all in the name of "God" and "Jesus" and the "Holy Spirit." While The Shack is fading as a phenomenon, the wreckage of such theology is only soaring.  A film version of the book may appear in the next year.  Get one copy for $2 or 10 for $15.

The Peace of God Versus The P.E.A.C.E. of Man 

The subject of peace has been thought about, written about, and passed through the lips of countless people over the centuries. Human history has been racked by violence and unrest since the fall of man, making peace an evasive commodity that has only been known for relatively short periods of time. The authors wanted to take a look at peace from a biblical perspective considering that the subject is being increasingly talked about in academic, political, and especially religious circles. Rick Warren, for instance, has been trying to implement and promote his P.E.A.C.E. Plan through his three-legged stool approach of melding the world's religious, economic, and political forces into one. As he points out, just as a stool cannot stand unless it has at least three legs, he believes that we cannot achieve world peace without the blending and unifying of these three forces. Get one for $1.50 or 10 for $15.  

 

Over the years, I have encountered many Christians who wonder, "What's wrong with being Catholic? After all, they believe in the Cross; they believe Jesus is the Son of God. It can't be all that bad." If you are a Christian who has wondered about these things, this special testimonial report is for you.  Get one for $1.50 or 10 for $15.   

 

It is no secret that Yoga is taking Western civilization by storm. In just a little over a hundred years, a mystical revolution has occurred that millions of Westerners have wholeheartedly embraced. Amazingly, the Western Judeo-Christian view is in the process of a paradigm shift toward the same perspective as Yogic India.

Yoga (or Yogic spirituality) is influencing Christians and non-Christians alike. We live in a world where forces of darkness are seeking to deceive us. The question this booklet title asks is: Are Yoga and Christianity compatible? The answer is a resounding no. Get one for $2 or 10 for $15.  

 

They Hate Christianity But Love (Another) Jesus: How Conservative Christians are Being Manipulated, Especially During Election Years 

While  believers have been caring for the needy for centuries, "red letter Christians" attempt to win conservative Christians through guilt over to a "social justice gospel." Additionally, they suggest we are all connected to one another and can bring about a utopian society. The rally cry to throw out Christianity but to keep "Jesus" isn't a new one. One such example is Dan Kimball's book, "They Like Jesus But Not the Church." As the world is heading toward a global government and a global religion, it is becoming more apparent that this global society will be one where "tolerance" is the byword for everything other than biblical Christianity.  Get one copy for $2 or 10 for $15.

5 Things You Can Do to Protect Your Kids From Sexual Predators 

The information in this booklet is the personal perspective of an investigative sergeant who knows first hand the inner workings and methods used by sexual predators. Countless numbers of children will be sexually abused by the time they reach their 18th birthday. Sadly, most parents won't even see it coming. They don't realize that sexual predators of children are often friendly, helpful, and attentive, drawing in a child, not by force, but rather, through enticing seduction.

Get one for $2 or 10 for $15. 

The future of Christian theological schools is bleak. In many cases, they are the most dangerous places for Christians to be, from a biblical point of view. Already scores of them are implementing contemplative spirituality, via Spiritual Formation programs, into the lives of their students.   Two major accreditation organizations -- Association of Theological Seminaries and Association for Biblical Higher Education -- require schools that wish to be accredited to include Spiritual Formation within the school's infrastructure. Get one for $2 or 10 for $15.  

 

Rick Warren's Daniel Plan 

Who would have believed it? Occult/New Age doctors being invited into the church to teach Christians how to be healthy? On January 15, 2011 a fifty-two week health and wellness program -- The Daniel Plan -- was initiated at Rick Warren's Saddleback Church. More than six thousand people attended the well-promoted and carefully staged event. Rick Warren recruited three best-selling authors to create and oversee The Daniel Plan Curriculum - Dr. Mehmet Oz, Dr. Daniel Amen, and Dr. Mark Hyman. These three physicians are all involved with New Age teachings such as psychics, spirit guides, necromancy, Yoga, Reiki, Transcendental and Kundalini "sa ta na ma" meditations, and more. How is this possible? We are living in an age of rampant deception. Get one for $1.50 or 10 for $15.   

 

The Understanding MORE Deception Package  

Finally, it's possible that you would just like to have a sample of each of these pamphlets to read over and see if you want more of some of them.  If so, then purchase, The Understanding MORE Deception Package, that provides you one of each of the ten pamphlets to read for $15.  

We are providing these materials as a means to help you contend for the faith against, "ungodly men, who turn the grace of our God into lewdness and deny the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ."
