The Church Fathers: A Door to Rome - Oct. 21
Many people have walked into the Roman Catholic Church through the broad door of the “church fathers,” and this is a loud warning today when there is a widespread attraction to the “church fathers” within evangelicalism.
The Catholic apologetic ministries use the “church fathers” to prove that Rome’s doctrines go back to the earliest centuries. In the book Born Fundamentalist, Born Again Catholic, David Currie continually uses the church fathers to support his position. He says, “The other group of.. Read More

Powerless Churches and a Wicked Nation - Oct. 20
America’s fundamental problem is not systemic racism; it is systemic wickedness. And we are convinced that the root problem is the nation’s corrupt, worldly, lukewarm churches. That is the root problem in the black communities and in every community. “Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away” (2 Timothy 3:5). “Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of.. Read More

CAMPUS CRUSADE’S APOSTASY (Friday Church News Notes, October 16, 2020, www.wayoflife.org, fbns@wayoflife.org, 866-295-4143) - Campus Crusade for Christ is an “evangelical” interdenominational ministry with 25,000 workers in nearly 200 countries. (The name was changed to “Cru” in 2011.) Never really sound theologically, the organization has moved ever farther from God’s Word. Founded by Bill Bright, Campus Crusade was radically ecumenical from its inception. In 1969, Bright.. Read More

Memory Verse Journal
“Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper” (Psalm 1:1-3).
If there is one thing we can do to strengthen the churches it is to seriously strengthen the biblical depth of the congregation. “For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. But strong meat.. Read More

Having a Form of Godliness but Denying the Power Thereof - Oct. 14
“Having a form of godliness, and but denying the power thereof” (2 Timothy 3:5).
Last days society has a profession of faith in Christ and some of the trappings of Christianity. “Form” is the Greek morphosis, meaning “external form, appearance, prescribed system” (Mounce), “an image or impress, an outward semblance” (Vine). But they deny the power thereof.
The power of godliness is first of all the converting power of the gospel whereby the sinner is born again.
“... the gospel of Christ ... is the.. Read More

Depression and the Child of God - Oct. 13
Following are some biblical truths that we must understand about depression and emotional melancholy. The quotes from Charles Spurgeon are from Lectures to My Students unless otherwise noted. We quote him because he described his depression so plainly and gave some excellent instruction about it.
Depression is part of this fallen life and its reason will not always be known (Psa. 119:28; Rom. 8:22-23; 9:2; Phil. 2:26; 1 Pet. 1:6).
“I note that some whom I greatly love and esteem, who are, in my judgment, among the very choicest of God’s people, nevertheless, travel most of the way to heaven by night” (Spurgeon)

Lancaster’s Role in the Downgrade - Oct. 8
“Lancaster’s Role in the Downgrade” is the title of a new video presentation which is part of the series The Satanic Attack on Sacred Music. —
In 2001, Dr. Frank Garlock issued a clear warning: “If a church starts using CCM it will eventually lose all other standards. You need to draw a line concerning your music” (BJU Chapel, Mar. 12, 2001).
Note that Dr. Garlock said that if a church STARTS using CCM--if it starts messing around with CCM, starts using it some--it will eventually lose all other standards. It will eventually depart from its founding biblical principles.
Throughout the world, there are churches that are laboratories to demonstrate the truth of that warning. It cannot be refuted.
One of those laboratories is Lancaster Baptist.. Read More

Too Strict - Oct. 7
The individual, home, and church that seeks to take the Bible seriously in Christian living is widely criticized today, even in “Christian” circles. “They are too strict. They are too serious. They need to lighten up. We shouldn’t be fanatics.”
But how is it possible to obey the following Scriptures without being exceedingly “strict” in doctrine and living?
“… teaching them to observe ALL THINGS whatsoever I have commanded you” (Mt. 28:20). This is Christ’s description of a New Testament church. A church that doesn’t take “all things” seriously is not obeying Christ.
“Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in ALL THINGS, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you” (1 Corinthians 11:2). This passage.. Read More

Beware of an Unwholesome Addiction to Sports - Oct. 6
Playing sports is not wrong in itself, and there can be benefits, but there are also plenty of spiritual dangers.
Following are some suggestions in how to keep sports from becoming an idol in your family:
PARENTS MUST HAVE THE RIGHT GOAL FOR THEIR CHILDREN
The right goal is not that the children will be good citizens and proficient in some field of endeavor and learn how to have a good time in life and fit into the crowd. That is the goal that unsaved parents have for their children. The goal of believing parents should be that.. Read More
