While the world is focused on the deadly terrorists attacks by radical Muslim jihadists, there is another terrorist attack that has been going on much longer and is much more dangerous because of its ETERNAL consequences. As we mourn over the loss of physical life and grieve with those who lost loved ones, we realize these tragedies are occurring far too often and in far too many places. It is good to know that some governments have finally declared war on ISIS and are pooling their resources to destroy them before they destroy us.

Wouldn't it be nice if the Body of Christ could unite against the spiritual terrorists that are attacking the Gospel of Jesus Christ?There are far too many of them in our churches that are leading people down the broad road to destruction. These terrorists are destroying spiritual lives with their perversions of the Gospel and they get away with it because they disguise themselves as servants of righteousness (2 Cor. 11:15). As deceitful workers, they raise doubts about God's Word, undermine its authority and deceive people with a false and fatal gospel. The only defense against such deadly activity is to expose their evil deeds of darkness (Eph. 5:11). They need to be identified by name so that gullible people will not be caught in their web of deception. Unmasking terrorists is critical for the glory and honor of our Savior and the sanctity of His Church..

Tragically, the evangelical church seems oblivious, unconcerned and indifferent to Satan's army of terrorists who have infiltrated the church with the objective of destroying lives. There is a war going on inside the church that is being ignored because the enemy is disguised as an angel of light and clothes himself in sheep's clothing. As we look as the recent history of the church, we see the great destruction that has been caused by the fiery darts of spiritual terrorists. Satan has planted these terrorist with little or no resistance. The terrorists who are hidden in the church are much more dangerous than the terrorists who are hidden in the neighborhoods of the world because those terrorists can only cause physical death. The terrorists in the church can cause eternal spiritual death with their damnable lies. More than ever we need to contend earnestly for the faith (Jude 3). Our armor and strategy to defend the Body of Christ against spiritual terrorism is found in Ephesians 6:10-20. All of us need to be faithful soldiers for Christ.

May the redemption of our loved ones be the central theme of our lives as we gather with family and friends during the holiday season. We know our merciful God, along with all the inhabitants of heaven, rejoice over the salvation of sinners. We also know He has given us all the awesome privilege and responsibility of being ambassadors for the King of kings. Since this is the season when people are giving and receiving gifts, let us share with them how they can receive the greatest gift they could ever receive. Our Gospel tract, which uses only the power of God's Word, reveals how they can receive God's gift of eternal life. Mail them with your Christmas cards or give them to people in your circle of influence. May we never miss an opportunity to be heralds of the good news of Jesus Christ! Order here.

 

Wycliffe Bible Translators are producing Catholic bibles and translating the apocrypha as another case of evangelicals compromising with enemies of the Gospel. In Scripture, the Church is described as "the pillar and support of the truth" (1 Tim. 3:15). Our labor, therefore, should be to maintain and preserve it. Wycliffe, a supposed Christian organization, seems to have forgotten that there is a line regarding Scriptural doctrine that simply should not be crossed. We need to remember that Christianity is not just a life: it's doctrine. The Roman Catholic 'church' is not a denomination -- it is a cult; the world's largest at that. So why would a Christian organization, having done so much good in the past, now be including spurious books in its Bible translations? There may be no more destructive enemy in the Church than the indifference to the sufficiency and authority of Scripture. Read more.
