'Earnestly contending for the faith,' (Jude 3 ) as well as sharing encouragement and hope through Scripture (Romans 15:4), and through the poems and posts that I write. One of many voices on the Internet warning Christians of the importance of testing the teachings of men (and women) against the unchanging truth of God's Word. (Acts 17:11) I 'warn you with tears' through much of what I write, to 'be on guard against the savage wolves that will come in among us who will distort the Word of God' as God's Word warns us about in Acts 20:26-31

UPDATED 6:10 P.M. 3/17/16 ADDED *VIDEO #3 OF POPE FRANCIS ON EVOLUTION
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 (which I started 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:
1) Many of us are already aware of the numerous things that Pope Francis has said that has caused quite a bit of controversy:
However, maybe some of you aren’t aware of the fact that Pope Francis has a new cartoon series — and a book — in which he is presenting some very unbiblical things to children:
2) In many previous Warning You With Tears Wednesday posts I have shared articles with you in order to warn you of how eastern meditation practices — especially mindfulness — are being presented to children in public schools in many states across our country. In this article by Berean Research, you will see some of the dangers of meditation and mindfulness:
3) Mindfulness is not the only thing that parents need to be aware of concerning what their children are being taught in schools today! Ken Ham of Answers in Genesis tells us in the following article that:
5) If you still are not aware of who Peter Drucker is, when time allows please consider reading the following article by Stand Up For The Truth and listening to the podcast, as well, at the link below. Also, when time allows, please watch the related videos that I posted below if you have never watched them before:
6) After recently learning from a dear Sister-In-Christ that singer and song writer Jeremy Riddle is actually the worship leader at *Bill Johnson’s Bethel Church in Redding CA, I have now officially crossed another singer off my list of favorites and will continue to just listen to the CD’s of piano praise music that I received for my birthday from my sister a few years ago. I resorted to these extreme measures because I refuse to listen to any Hillsong United or Jesus Culture songs, or any group that is either associated with a church where the pastor is a false teacher or chooses to become involved with any Conference that promotes mystical experiences or unbiblical unity! I also refuse to listen to the many Jesus is my boyfriend type songs that oftentimes can be heard on K-Love. *(Lord willing, Bill Johnson will be the focus of an upcoming False Teacher Friday post which I hope to write some time during the summer).
7) Roger Oakland of Understand The Times shares some rather disturbing information with us concerning CALVARY CHAPEL and “a new symbol.” Click on the link below to read his article and to see this new symbol:
8) Besides the information in the articles that I shared with you earlier that show you how the New Age/New Spirituality meditation practices are entering our schools and in the work place, one only has to look at this cover of NEWSWEEK MAGAZINE that Lighthouse Trails brought to our attention to show us how the New Age/New Spirituality Movement is permeating every aspect of our world, and it has been doing this for quite some time now! That old saying still holds true; one picture is worth a thousand words!
9) Many of you know by now that Warren B Smith, was once deeply involved in the New Age Movement and that he now writes books and speaks at Conferences warning Christians of how the many occultic spiritual practices that are part of the New Age Movement are now coming into the church. If you have listened to some of the many videos of Warren speaking on the New Age Movement that I have been posting here on my blog, then you also know that Warren’s messages are always filled with Scriptures. The same is true concerning his new booklet tract in which he offers hope by sharing many Scripture passages:
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 (which I started 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:
1) Even though many of us have been rejoicing because we have been seeing many Planned Parenthood abortion facilities closing down, the following article clearly shows the downward spiral since Roe v Wade and just how desensitized and hardened the hearts of many have become over the years. If AB 6221 passes the Senate and becomes law, this article reveals even more unbelievable horrors that will take place:
2) Sarah Young’s best selling devotional, Jesus Calling, has been causing many Christians to set aside their Bibles, because, sadly, it seems that they would rather hear what Sarah Young’s Jesus has to say. There are no new revelations today; the Canon is closed. God revealed Himself to us through His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, God in the flesh. Because Hebrews is so rich in revealing who Jesus is and what He accomplished, I couldn’t leave out verses 2 and 3, but read what Hebrews Chapter 1 verse 1 says:
“God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in times past unto the fathers through the prophets, hath in these last days spoken unto us by His Son, whom He hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also He made the worlds. Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by Himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high.“
Christian author and speaker, Warren B Smith, was once deeply involved in the New Age Movement. He wrote a book entitled, Another “Jesus Calling” in which he documents how many of the messages that Sarah Young receives from this Jesus do not line up with Scripture. Therefore, the only conclusion that we can then come to is that the Jesus that Sarah Young is receiving messages from is not the Jesus of the Bible.
Though the wording has been changed in the newer editions of Jesus Calling, Sarah Young originally claimed to have received these messages from Jesus and shared in an interview that she was inspired to write her devotional by reading a New Age/occult book called God Calling, a book that was written in the 1930s by two anonymous women in England known only as the Two Listeners. Here is an interview that Sarah Young did with CBN:
Lighthouse Trails is so concerned about the messages in these devotionals that they are contacting over 100 Christian leaders to make them aware of the serious problems with her devotionals. Click on the link to read this article, and you can also check to see if your pastor is on the list. If so, will he be among the few who will speak out and warn the people at your church? Or will he be one of the many who will remain silent and ignore these important warnings? If he is a true shepherd, he will speak out. Time will tell.
For those of you who are unaware of the serious problems in Sarah Young’s Jesus Calling devotional, here’s a review of her book by Christian writer and speaker, Warren B Smith, who was once deeply involved in the New Age Movement:
3) John Lanagan of My Word Like Fire shows us how this unbiblical call for unity is now bringing Catholics together with those involved at the International House of Prayer. The common bond that unites them together is –mysticism:
If you’d like to hear why many should be concerned about this, please watch and listen to the following video put together by a dear Sister-In-Christ, YouTube user Channel Psalm86, especially starting at the 25:00 minute mark where you will learn about Teresa of Avila:
4) More warnings concerning how many Calvary Chapels are continuing to respond to the unbiblical call for unity. Thank God for men like Chris Lawson and Roger Oakland, and others who stand upon the truth of the Word of God and do not give in to compromise!
5) Another warning for those of you who have school age children or grandchildren or friends who do. This is concerning Meditation and Mindfulness in Schools. Please become aware of this occultic practice that is coming into many schools these days and is being used to supposedly calm the children down. If children are not allowed to pray in most schools, why is it that practices which are rooted in Buddhism and Hinduism are now being promoted in schools?
6) I will now end with the following video to give God the praise and honor that He is so deserving of by showing you, once again, the beauty of His finest creation:
Thank you for stopping by and taking time out of your busy day to read some of my posts and poems.
Have you unknowingly been lured into New Age mystical practices by teachers claiming that certain “new waysto pray” will bring you closer to God? Have you signed up for classes in Spiritual Formation? Have you been involved in Centering Prayer , Contemplative Prayer, or Lectio Divina ? Well, this new series of posts in the new Category of posts that I have entitled ‘MYSTICISM MONDAYS‘ will attempt to peel back the layers of spiritual deception and present you with the truth of God’s Word that will expose the dangers of these practices. Lord willing, at least once a month on a Monday, I will be sharing teachings with you from Christian experts on the subject, some of whom have even been personally involved with these dangerous practices. All of these teachings that I will be presenting to you will focus on many Scriptures; those who speak on these topics will not just be talking about these practices, because it’s only the truth of God’s Word that will expose the dangers of these practices and set a deceived person free.
Lord willing, when time allows, I will be writing many posts in the future zeroing in on specific Christian programming and Christian teachers who are promoting these deceptive practices, but since my time is getting rather limited these days because of other important responsibilities that I have, I will oftentimes simply be sharing a video with you.
When time allows, I truly hope and pray that you will take the time to listen to these messages and read the upcoming posts on this important topic so that you can be aware of these false teachings that are deceiving many Christians –possibly even you.
Please test the teachings of all those whom you listen to against Scripture as God’s Word shows us that we are to do. (Acts 17:11)
Now for today’s Mysticism Monday:
In light of the fact that many church leaders are now promoting Spiritual Formation, Contemplative Prayer, learning to hear God speak to you, and many other unbiblical, spiritual, mystical practices these days, I’d like to share the following video Playlist with you. In it you will hear Ray Yungen give an in depth presentation concerning Contemplative Prayer, the Mystical Revolution and Reiki Healing, and more. (The sound quality of the third video is not as good as the other two, which is why I decided to add that one last). When time allows, please consider watching this video series so that you are aware of the dangers of these spiritual practices that are very strongly being promoted in many churches today. Not only do we need to know God’s Word very well, but we also need to be aware of what Satan is using these days to lure Christians away from seeking God in His Word in order to lead them down a dangerous path that leads into spiritual deception and the world of the occult.

Thank you for stopping by and taking time out of your busy day to read some of my posts and poems.
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:
1) For those of you who appreciated the in-depth information thatElliottNeschpresented in his three hour expanded video version ofChurch of Tares, here it is again. I’m mainly posting it for those of you who have not even seen the original shorter version. When time allows, please watch this video. It’s well worth your time, especially if you have many valid concerns about certain changes that you have been noticing taking place in your church:
2) The following very well written article by Pamela Couvrette of GUARDING THE DEPOSITties in perfectly with the above video:
5) Have you seen some of the videos that are warning about all the things that are supposed to happen in this month of September 2015, such as this one?
Well, HERE’San article by Gaylene Goodroad of Herescope in which she shares information about David James’ book entitled, Biblical Guide To The Shemitah and the Blood Moons that will at least ‘demystify the popular prophecies about Jewish Sabbaths and blood moons.’
Remember, those of us who are true followers of Jesus Christ are not to fear the future, but to place our complete trust in the fact that God is in control. Just “make the most of every opportunity” that you get to share God’s love and forgiveness with whomever you have the opportunity to talk with.
6) Now that school is back in session again, here are a few warnings for all of you with children and grandchildren, etc., so that you can be aware of what is taking place in many schools today! I have shared some information with you on these topics in the past, but in case you missed it, these are things that you all truly need to be aware of:
HERE you will find many links to articles on Lighthouse Trails Research concerning the dangerous New Age/Buddhist practice of Mindfulness Meditation and how it’s making its way into many schools today.
You can also read another article on Mindfulness by Marcia Montenegro of Christian Answers For The New Age:
Many schools are now presenting Common Core Curriculum to your children. If you are not aware of the controversy about Common Core and what is in this curriculum, please be sure to watch this video when time allows:
7) HEREis a very disturbing story from LifeSite News that may make you want to become a vegetarian, or, at the least, boycott certain companies. I suggest that you eat your breakfast, lunch, or dinner first before reading it. Above all, please pray!
8) After taking a much needed break in order to “maintain his sanity,” Glenn Chatfield, who is the author at THE WATCHMAN’S BAGPIPES posted his latest installment of his review on Gail Riplinger’s book, New Age Bible Versions a couple of weeks ago. If you haven’t read it yet, you can read it HERE.
9) And just as I was getting ready to publish this post, I was notified that Glenn Chatfield posted his newest article in his series entitled, RANDOM ABERRATIONS APOSTASIES AND HERESIES. So I’m sharing it with you now even before I get the chance to read it. You can become informed about the many things that Glenn wants to make you aware of by clicking rightHERE.
10) If you are a born-again Christian who has placed your trust in Jesus Christ alone for your salvation, and the day comes when your faith is tested, and your job may even be on the line, will you still continue to take a stand for Jesus Christ and Biblical truth like Kim Davis has? HERE’S HER STATEMENT THAT WAS RECENTLY RELEASED.Please take a few minutes to pray for her. When things like this happen, we have to remember that it’s a spiritual battle we’re fighting. (Ephesians 6:10-18)
“Finally be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take a stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore, put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.”
Thank you for stopping by and taking time out of your busy day to read some of my posts and poems.
Desiring for God to use all that I have been through in life, I decided to start my first blog, living4hisglory.wordpress.com, in order to write poems about some of those experiences to bring glory to God, as well as to share them with others with the hope of encouraging those of you who have been broken and shattered by life's circumstances and hurt by those who were supposed to have loved you rather than abuse you in some way.
Also, because of some pastors and teachers today who seem to be abandoning Biblical Christianity and instead seem to be either seeking to build their own empires and promoting their own agendas, and at times even leading the people in their churches into unbiblical, 'mystical practices' without some people even realizing it, I saw the importance and necessity to begin writing poems and posts in order to inform Christians, as well as to make Christians realize the extreme importance of testing what people say (who claim to speak for God) against the truth of God's Word, (Acts 17:11) so that they will not be deceived. It has never been -- nor shall it ever be -- my intention to bash any particular pastor or teacher; my sole purpose in bringing attention to false teachings is to make Christians realize that we are to be followers of Jesus Christ, and not to be followers of any man (or woman) and his (or her) ministry. I hope that you will be blessed -- as well as challenged -- by the things that I write.
Thank you for stopping by and taking time to read some of my posts and poems.
God Bless You
