Welcome to another post in the series of posts that I have entitled, Warning You With Tears Wednesdays. Lord willing, at least once a month on Wednesdays I will be writing and sharing one of these posts with you so that I can make you all aware of some important information that I come across on the Internet that you may not have heard about.
Since I knew that I would soon be starting a new part-time job (and I did in June) and that my free time would then be somewhat limited, I was trying to think of something that I could write on a regular basis that would be short and to the point (at least that was my intention). And since I am a detective-at-heart and desire to make you all aware of the importance of testing things that pastors and teachers say (and do) in light of Scripture (Acts 17:11), the idea to do these posts — as well as the name — came to my mind in November of 2014, based on Acts 20:26-31:
“For I have not hesitated to proclaim to you the whole will of God. Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which He bought with His own blood. I know that after I leave, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock. Even from your own number men will arise and distort the truth in order to draw away disciples after them. So be on your guard! Remember that for three years I never stopped warning each of you night and day with tears.”
So with all of that in mind, here is what I’d like to share with you in today’s WARNING YOU WITH TEARS WEDNESDAY:
Those of you who are Bible believing Christians and are not only stunned at the acceleration of world events, the rise of moral decay, and the apostasy that we are witnessing among many professing Christians these days, but also are shocked at the fact that many Christians are embracing the many mystical, New Age practices that are entering many churches these days, you are probably as certain as I am that the return of Jesus Christ may be sooner than any of us could even imagine! Just consider these new hi-tech devises that are enticing people to buy into these ideas! Sadly, many will be seduced into purchasing them without even giving any thought to the fact that they are revealing highly personal information to more people than they realize, and they don’t stop to think of the many possible consequences! As you read these articles, keep in mind what God’s Word reveals to us in Chapter 13 of the Book of Revelation!

For those of you who enjoyed some of the past movies produced by the Kendrick Brothers, such as Flywheel, Facing The Giants, Fireproof, and Courageous and have been alarmed to hear that Beth Moore and Priscilla Schirer, are in their new movie, War Room, here’s a very balanced review of the movie written by Seth Dunn:
WAR ROOM: A REVIEW OF THE MOVIE AND THE INDUSTRY SURROUNDING IT
If you’d like, you can also read a post that I previously wrote concerning Priscilla Shirer and Beth Moore that has a lot of additional information that I found on Lighthouse Trails Research. This information will show you that they both promote Contemplative Prayer and mysticism:
HARVEST BIBLE CHAPEL LEADERSHIP, CHRISTIAN LEADERSHIP, AND THE LACK OF BIBLICAL DISCERNMENT
And speaking of mysticism, here’s an article that I found posted at Lighthouse Trails Research with information you need to know so that you will not be deceived by those who may try to lead you into having “experiences with God” instead of telling you that you will come to know God through His Word, the Bible. Beware of those who may tell you: “God can be found only in the silence.”
NEW BOOKLET TRACT: BIG NOISY GOD — DISPELLING THE RUMOR THAT GOD CAN BE FOUND “ONLY IN THE SILENCE”
For those of you who have been waiting for the release of Ray Comfort’s full movie, Audacity, here it is! Let’s be in prayer that God will open the eyes and hearts of those who will choose to watch this movie, that they will see and respond to the truth presented in this movie — especially the truth of God’s Word that is shared in this movie — no matter what a person’s reason may be for watching it!
Do you remember this video of Jefferson Bethke that went viral when it was posted on 1/10/12? (Amount of views at the time that I posted this video: 29,917,192).
And do you know that discerning sense that you get when you first hear about something Christian related becoming very popular, such as the above video, as well as Purpose Driven Life, The Shack, and Jesus Calling? Well, as a friend played the above video for me a couple of years ago, I sensed something was not quite right, but I never got around to doing research on it. Then, just last week, I came across this information posted by Lighthouse Trails Research. (I’ll give you a hint: Jeff Bethke attended Mark Driscoll’s church).
LETTER TO THE EDITOR: WHAT ABOUT JEFF BETHKE’S BOOK JESUS > RELIGION? — A BOOK WITH AN AGENDA
NEW BOOKLET TRACT: THEY HATE CHRISTIANITY BUT LOVE (ANOTHER) JESUS
I’ll end this post with another article by Lighthouse Trails Research that was written by Harry A. Ironside to bring glory to God:
IRONSIDE: A WONDERFUL EXPECTATION!–HE IS COMING AGAIN!
AMEN! Come, Lord Jesus! But please first draw our loved ones to Yourself who have not yet placed their full trust in Your completely propitiatory sacrifice on the cross as full payment for their sins! Please grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of Satan who has taken them captive to do his will, and that they would choose to do Your will. Fill them with a godly sorrow that brings repentance that leads them to salvation, and that they would not just have a worldly sorrow that only leads to death. Help them to come to know of Your mercy, Your grace, and Your forgiveness, and that they would choose this day to serve You. In Jesus name I pray. Amen! (Prayer based on: John 6:44, 2 Timothy 2:25,26, 2 Corinthians 7:10, Titus 3:4-7)
Thank you very much for stopping by and taking time out of your busy day to read some of my posts and poems.
God Bless You

RELATED SCRIPTURES
“And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. If any man have an ear, let him hear. He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.” Revelation Chapter 13 King James Version (KJV) by Public Domain
“Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;” (1 Timothy 4:1)
“All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of His appearing and His kingdom, I give you this charge: Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage — with great patience and careful instruction. For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.” (2 Timothy 3:16,17-4:1-4)
“For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.” (2 Corinthians 11:13-15)
“Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that He may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you. Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.” (1 Peter 5:6-8)
“Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.” (1 John 4:1)
“But evil men and imposters will proceed from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.” (2 Timothy 3:13)
“But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of His mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified by His grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life. This is a trustworthy saying. And I want you to stress these things, so that those who have trusted in God may be careful to devote themselves to doing what is good. These things are excellent and profitable for everyone.” (Titus 3:4-8)
