Sorcery

The picture is a screencap from yesterday's sermon. I want to connect some dots—

My train of thought began last week when I saw a survey about the difficulty of finding a good local church. Only 7% of North Americans have a biblical worldview—which means there are a ton of churches out there that Don't have a biblical worldview, or if that view is in their mission statement, then they've stopped talking about it. 'The sheep' don't have a balanced diet; they lack access to the whole counsel of God at their church and are left to seek it elsewhere.

Paul, in Acts 20:27-28, 𝘍𝘰𝘳 𝘐 𝘥𝘪𝘥 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘴𝘩𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘥𝘦𝘤𝘭𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘴𝘦𝘭 𝘰𝘧 𝘎𝘰𝘥. 𝘒𝘦𝘦𝘱 𝘸𝘢𝘵𝘤𝘩 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘷𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘳𝘦 𝘧𝘭𝘰𝘤𝘬 𝘰𝘧 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘏𝘰𝘭𝘺 𝘚𝘱𝘪𝘳𝘪𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘮𝘢𝘥𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘦𝘦𝘳𝘴. 𝘉𝘦 𝘴𝘩𝘦𝘱𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘥𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘩𝘶𝘳𝘤𝘩 𝘰𝘧 𝘎𝘰𝘥, 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘩 𝘏𝘦 𝘱𝘶𝘳𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘏𝘪𝘴 𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘣𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘥.… We need more churches with the boldness of Paul.

Why is it so hard to find a based fellowship these days? (And I'm NOT referring to obvious anti-bible teaching that pressures congregants to "accept" criminal unbelievers and sexual perversions performed on children. I'm talking about churches that self-censor and remain silent on knotty topics.)

As the picture shows, yesterday's sermon addressed "Sorcery," a knotty topic that needs the light of Truth shone upon it.

Sorcery is one of those "biblical issues" that (twenty years ago) I found myself having to go research outside any local church help. It was taboo to discuss it! Sorcery gets labeled as "evil" and then is rarely addressed further from our pulpits. Consequently, many church-attenders have No Idea how deeply it has infested our politicians, bureaucrats, and judges.

The AI-bot estimates we currently have 1.5 million people in the U.S. who identify as wiccan, pagan, or participate in satan worship. The Pastor's research (42:10 if you watch) found that 1-in-5 people in America have consulted with psychics or fortunetellers, a multi-Billion dollar business. The number of sorcerers is probably MUCH higher because of O'Biden's Welcome Mat policy. The MS-13 gang follows satan, and many imported from Haiti brought their Voodoo with them. Sorcery is one of the theaters in the Spiritual War that rages against Believers.

It has been pretty easy for Believers to live in a cocoon, even when demons were manifesting in plain sight on the evening news (yes, Biden's "whispering" was an unclean spirit). I find it reassuring to know that others are courageous enough to tell the truth about uncomfortable subjects. America has many "influencers" in high government places who are involved in the dark arts, and they have dark powers helping to conceal them. If you don't have a fellowship that teaches the biblical position, or if you are an FCC member who missed the May 18th Sunday sermon, go take a listen.

Did your Sunday school teach you about the sin of Hypocrisy?

 

Mine did not. I don't ever remember hearing about the sin of Hypocrisy in Sunday school, not during the childhood years when kid's brains are sponges. Hypocrisy got covered in the older youth group, but only in passing, as a bad Pharisee thing.
It wasn't until I joined the now defunct CrossWalk forums in the early 2000s that I dug into studying the scripture dealing with hypocrisy on my own (because I desired and did win a debate taking on the "Don't Judge" trope — both Mt 7:1 and Rom 2:1 contextually fall under Hypocrisy).
But my findings and My Point is: With the exception of failure to accept Jesus, Hypocrisy is probably the greatest of the "sleeper sins" that civil law never addresses. Hypocrisy brought out Jesus' righteous anger whereas the sins most people think are worse were met with compassion.

...if you are able to call out hypocrisy as a genuine warning instead of as an insult, that would be an act of love.

Did Freemasons found America?

 

I keep running into people who post on political forums that REALLY, REALLY (without knowing anything about me) seem to be on a mission to convince me that Freemasons founded America.  That America was corrupt and bad from the get-go.They take No Excuses for not swallowing their spiel!  They particularly like to quote George Washington complimenting the Freemasons' good works in their attempts to convince me that he was "all in" and part of a traitorous plot to destroy the fledgling nation. 

I don't buy that. The following is my answer to one of these folks:

This is somewhat misleading BECAUSE... Satan was late to the party. During colonial America, Freemasonry had not yet gotten a strong foothold. It was largely business networking, akin to the lower three levels of Freemasonry today: male socializing, contact hobnobbing, and a side of charity work. The deep weird stuff, the freemasonry of France, was an ocean away. The masons were present, but not strong enough to effectively influence the culture.

 
The TIPPING POINT on that can be traced to around 1789-1791. By the Lord's Providence, America had her Constitution written and ratified before the masonic infestation could push their ideas with any degree of impact. That started to change when Pierre L'Enfant leveraged those "business contacts" and obtained the contract to design the new capital of Washington DC in 1791.

So here's the Truth: The founding of the District of Columbia (Washington) was the beginning of Freemasonry being able to make inroads in our government. Our founding documents had been written and voted upon prior to masonic influence. Satan was metaphorically still spreading tares when the Founding Fathers made their covenants. By the time they germinated and the thief's crop could be harvested, our Declaration of Independence (which Honored our Creator), and our Constitution (which was patterned after biblical law) had already been secured. Freemasonry has been a problem ever since, but America was not founded upon it.
