"That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, to be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed." Titus 2:4-5

Please Stand Firm on the TRUTH!!!


I write this post with fear and trembling.  I am so saddened and terribly concerned about the state of today's church.  People, we are living in the last days.  These are the days in which there is a great falling away of the church.  Deception is sneaking in and being taught as truth, and people are accepting it.  This is scary!  Scarier still is that I am watching people that I know and love be sucked into it.

Please read this article by Answers in Genesis about the book titled "The Evolution of Adam".  This troubles me greatly.  I may not be popular for writing this post, but I am genuinely concerned for the state of the church, and I am warning people...STAND ON TRUTH!!!  Do not be swayed by all of the "scholars" out there telling you that you can't take the Bible literally, or that it needs to be re-translated, or whatever.  This is the same old deception of satan that has been going on for thousands of years, starting back at the Garden of Eden (that YES I believe literally existed)...."did God really say...???"

I look forward to your comments!

2 Timothy 4:2-4- "2 Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction. 3 For the time will come when people 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. 4 They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths."

2 Peter 3:

3 Above all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. 4 They will say, “Where is this ‘coming’ he promised? Ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation.” 5 But they deliberately forget that long ago by God’s word the heavens came into being and the earth was formed out of water and by water. 6 By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed. 7 By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly.
8 But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. 9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare.
11 Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives 12 as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming.  That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. 13 But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, where righteousness dwells.
14 So then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and at peace with him. 15 Bear in mind that our Lord’s patience means salvation, just as our dear brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom that God gave him. 16 He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.
17 Therefore, dear friends, since you have been forewarned, be on your guard so that you may not be carried away by the error of the lawless and fall from your secure position. 18 But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen.

  1. I have heard of this controversy before and like you , can't believe the people that agree with Enns. I am astounded at the people who have the idea that the bible doesn't really mean that. Th church today is not at all God's idea of a church if you ask me!

  2. April,

    I hope you are doing well. I enjoyed this post. It gave me food for thought. I definitely agree that the church is preaching what the people with itching ears want to hear. It is very hard to find a good church family. And a church that teaches sound doctrine.

    Blessings,

  3. Amen, April! The church is largely no different than any other secular organization..few stay in the Word of God, for it is "too boring".."too antiquated"...etc. They need entertainment and gossip..

    Praise God for Godly women like you, who are not interested in tickling the ears of others!
