Praise the Lord. As a committed Bible believing Christian I though I was loosing the plot when speaking out against error.
It is a bit like the "frog in the cooking pot" syndrome.
People are offended by the truth. They were in Jesus' day and they are to-day. The religious are offended by those who speak out the truth. Jesus says you will know the truth and the truth will set you free. It is not the vain philosophy that is heard so much to-day that will save sinners, it is the preaching of Christ and Him crucified.

This is a very straight forward explanation of what the "Word of God" reveals. It is no longer popular to publicly state these truths, but I thank God for men like Pastor MacArthur who are willing to remind us that this is indeed what our God expects from those who claim to love Him & follow His teaching. Jesus Christ knew that this attitude would be prevalent in the last days & that is why I believe that he stated that not all who say "Lord,Lord" will be allowed to enter God's Kingdom. Those of us who love the Word of God must be willing no matter the cost, to stand on the truth's contained in His word.

I agree totally with this article and the previous comment. Philippians 2-3 and Ephesians 4:11-16 indicate that true Christian's top priority is to increasingly learn and be intimate with Jesus Christ. In John 14-16, Jesus teaches about what other priorities we should have and the ministry of the Holy Spirit. Only by living Proverbs 3:5-6 can I be sensitive to the Holy Spirit. I need His help in order to do my fulltime Internet ministry. The Holy Spirit and what I know of the Bible helps me to know what to tolerate in relating to what I read and hear. Last Sabbath, I and some of my friends were upset about two America in Prophecy messages by a guest speaker in a meeting we attended because of his criticisms and wrong assumptions about some famous USA Christian leaders. I have collected a lot of articles about this topic and hope that he will read them in my Diino web site. And I also have shared Hebrews 10:19-25, Titus 2 and Jude 20-25 with many.

Insightful words and challenging thoughts by John Macarthur.

We are also reminded in no uncertain terms by James that 'friendship with the world is HATRED towards God'. We are commanded by John, 'Do not love the world or anything in the world'. Jesus himsel said 'You cannot serve two masters'. Not only are these post modern 'Christian' preachers being loose and unconcerned with biblical truth, they are blatantly and proudly walking in the darkness. They are plainly disobeying the Scripture of our Lord which is a very dangerous precedent.

What the world needs is not Christians to stand up for the truth but whole congregations, whole denominations, whole communities of believers to take the bible seriously and to unite together under it's authority. We need to recapture the truth and present to the world a united front that is unashamed, 'unscared' and willing, if need be, to die for the truth of Christ Jesus.
