The business of ecumenism is to water down the Gospel of Jesus. It is doing so through the signs and wonders movement, which has no real evaluative tools except how one feels about an experience.----Is this what God had planned for His Church- Christians need to be as wise as serpents and gentle as doves. We need to reject ecumenism in all its forms.

Unfortunately, we are seeing a growing ecumenical deception taking hold of society. It is snaring many within Christendom. ----We are living in a day and age where apostasy from biblical truth is running rampant. It is capturing people who refuse to love the truth so that they can be saved. Because of their constant denial and rejection of God's truth, God will send a delusion so they will believe what is patently false.----Where is all this leading to-

Who is right, the apostle Peter or your emotions- Too many unfortunately believe their emotions are the final arbiter of truth. Are you one of them-----The Bible tells us that we are to live by FAITH, not FEELING, yet too many of us become entrapped into thinking that we must feel it before we can live it.----God wants our obedience and Peter says we have what we need to BE obedient.

If you are seeking signs and wonders, my question to you is WHY-----Is this something we should be doing- What do we gain from it that we cannot gain directly from knowledge of God through His Word-

The Sadducees were only one group that learned just how wrong they were and Jesus informed them of their error. The Pharisees- Another group.----In fact, many of the individuals Jesus met were often wrong, though well-meaning or sincere.----However, sincerity does not equate to being correct, no matter how strongly we may feel about something.----It is imperative that Christians study to show ourselves approved of God, people who can rightly divide His Word. Unfortunately, it seems to be a dying art.

Is it possible for Christians to take God's grace for granted- Unfortunately, yes it is. Why do we do that and how can we avoid it-

Christians are tasked above all things with getting to know God. It is not only a worthwhile endeavor, but it leads to fellowship with Him, something for which we were created.----How best to get to know God- How do we begin to learn to know Him- Do we study the Scriptures- Do we pray- Do we join a commune with other believers-----Read His Word.

We need to be prepared and the only way to be prepared is to know the Author of Life, God Himself through Christ our Lord. This life is so absolutely temporary. We need to come to terms with that. Some reading this could die before this day ends of natural causes, in an auto accident, or something else entirely. When it comes time for us to pass from this life to the next, we will do so and nothing will stop that. It is predetermined by God, who is Sovereign. We all live and die according to His will and good pleasure.

In this series, we look at several of the prophecies from the book of Isaiah. In today's broadcast, we open Isaiah 11 to learn about the coming return of Jesus who will then rule over this earthy physically in what is termed the Millennial Kingdom.----What does this mean for the entire world-

Are we to expect some prophetic event like the Rapture, the start of the Tribulation or both this coming Saturday, September 23, 2017-----The belief is based on Revelation 12 and -signs- in the heavens or constellations by some who are avidly looking forward to this weekend.----What does Revelation 12 actually teach- Is it providing timing regarding certain eschatological events- Open the Word with Dr. Fred and find out.
