		<description><![CDATA[Hello and thanks for the blog. You have some helpful material.  I&#039;m just curious if you have or could recommend any good materials on dealing with atheists and agnostics.  I&#039;ve realized this is becoming increasingly important since europe is heavily agnostic and America is right behind them.  Basically I have tried to get them (atheists) to see that they put themselves in a box by their exclusive belief system but there must be some good questions that Im not thinking of.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I recently watched some excerpts from the Elephant Room.  http://jamesmacdonald.com/blog/

I find it interesting that Macdonald would invite Perry Noble and Steven Furtick  as some of America&#039;s influential pastors to be on his elephant room panel.  And I quote JM where he says &quot;Three more clips from the Elephant Room. As I’ve written before, I walked away from this event challenged and convicted. And I remain deeply grateful for the impact each of these men have made on me personally.&quot;   What kind of impact has Furtick, Noble, and Driscoll had on Macdonald?  Why has noboby challenge Macdonald with these questionable associations?  He seems to be untouchable.  I have always considered Macdonald&#039;s preaching very sound.  Now I am confused. Just wondering if you had any thoughts on this.]]></description>

Why the change of heart?  Are your blog contents no longer a concern of yours (or your Presbytery&#039;s), or did the privated posts take care of your prior concerns?

		<description><![CDATA[Hey Defcon Team:

Great to suddenly find brothers and sisters contending for and defending the faith as handed down to us in Scripture.  In Christ, we are and have everything.  Without Him, we can do nothing. (John 15)

I say suddenly, because just over two years ago God called me, after a life of success-seeking, to find true success as a 100% disciple of Jesus Christ.  His calling came to me from the midst of the desert, and the burning bush was my career, businesses, and all other things of this world I was clinging to.  Having the sense to let go, I plummeted into His arms, the arms of Christ.  He set me on my feet, gave me a cross to carry, and bid me follow Him on His narrow pathway.

Since then, I have been contending for the historic, Biblical faith as given us in the New Covenant, with Christ being the expression, beginning and end, of all God the Father is doing.  He is all, and when we come to Him we must die, and He must live in us.  Paul and the other apostles clearly taught what you are teaching, and I applaud you for speaking out and holding forth this Light, who is Christ.

I submit to you my blog, and ask that you look at it, comment on it, and let me know what you think about the adherence to the Truth as given us in the infallible written Word.  God gives me daily His thoughts from the Word, and I cannot stop, or slow down.  I seek to defend and contend as you are, and have a readership that spans over 30 countries.  These are all hungry for true, Biblical discipleship to Christ, without errors to the left or right.  There are millions more out there seeking the Lord with all their hearts, but like I was, finding confusion and a babble of voices giving out Christian baby food, or downright Satanic lies.  

I was steeped in the evangelical traditions.  I was a model &quot;Christian&quot; and leader from my youth.  I loved God.  Yet I lived in constant unhappiness, was enslaved to various sins, and though I knew the Word of God thoroughly, I could not seem to &quot;make it work&quot;.  Now I know it is the Spirit&#039;s work in us, and it is Christ&#039;s work for us, that enables us to rest and be completed in Him.  

Grace and mercy to all who love our Lord Jesus Christ with an unfailing love,
A. Brother (my pen name to avoid fame and fortune!)

I want to thank you and commend you for posting our &lt;a href=&quot;http://defendingcontending.com/2010/06/08/experiencing-god-through-mysticism/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Experiencing God through Deceitful Mysticism&lt;/a&gt; video and produced with former Roman Catholic priest Richard Bennett and invite you to visit our new website http://www.perfectpeaceplan.com

LATEST NEWS:

HOW ASSEMBLIES OF GOD MAKE MERCHANDISE OF MEN&#039;S SOULS 

This story was first reported on CBS Television News:  &quot;Assemblies of God Seize and Padlock local AG Church&quot; 

My complete report on this story and Emerge Ministries, Inc., is now available at:
www.voiceoftruthradio.com/james/dnd.pdf

My extensive investigation of Leonard Sweet and the Emerging Church will be released shortly for your highly esteemed consideration.


Hope you will report this news.
&quot;Loren Davis is a missionary in Africa, and resident of Kenya , who has conducted major evangelistic crusades in Africa for a quarter of a century.  He personally has witness the destruction that Rick Warren has wrought over there. This is a six minute excerpt of his recent riveting interview on Southwest Radio Church.  He leads the fight in opposing Rick Warrens teachings and programs in Africa and has inspired a host of pastors in Africa to reject Rick Warren&#039;s Purpose-Driven Global Peace Plan.  James Sundquist addresses what Rick Warren is doing in Africa in his book Rick Warren&#039;s Global Peace Plan vs. Scriptural Teachings on Peace in the Chapter &#039;Purpose-Driven Country&#039;&quot;  Todd Hudnell, an Assemblies of God Pastor, led the campaign in Kenya, on behalf of Rick Warren and the AOG General Superintendent George Wood has brought Warren fully aboard its national and international agenda to transform the AG into another gospel.&quot;
 
&quot;We had a major victory in Kitale, Kenya.  Rick Warren&#039;s held a pastor&#039;s conference targeting 1000 pastors, but after my CD about him was distributed in that area, only 100 pastors showed up.  They were very disappointed.&quot;  Loren Davis

		<description><![CDATA[Hi Pilgrim,

I would like to ask YOU to please forgive me for labeling you as &quot;garbage&quot;. That was uncalled for as I broad brushed you and included you in something that didn&#039;t concern you.

Over the course of the last month I have sort of gotten to know you via email and you are certainly not &quot;garbage&quot; no matter what my definition of the word is. I humbly ask for your forgiveness Pilgrim.

God Bless,

Phil]]></description>

Thank you for sharing your heart and your testimony.  It brought joy to my heart to hear you have an &quot;unsatisfiable appetite for the things of God&quot;.

The contributors on this site are godly men and women who continually take hits from the deceived, as well as from the enemies of Christ, for their dedicated building up of the body of Christ, and their salt and light in a world overrun with false teachers and impostors who usurp so many of the pulpits today.

		<description><![CDATA[My there are some pretty offended and defensive people out there...yeesh!

I was pointed to your blog by my friend who runs ChurchSalt, y&#039;know that crazy Texan who is always talking about the wrath of God, hell and repentance. You&#039;d think that that&#039;s all there is to Christianity.  Well...yeah, I guess he&#039;s right, because afterall, that&#039;s what the Bible says.

I have been quasi-saved for 25 years until all hell broke lose in my life. I have lost everything, including my three precious children. I have been referred to as a modern day Job, the only thing I don&#039;t have is boils...yet! I have been broken, dropped by the hand of a sovereign God Whom I did not know, and now looking up I can see that I wasn&#039;t saved and thank God, thank God, thank God (sorry crying again), I am now saved because I know that I was and am still a horribly selfish and ugly sinner and I am only counted &quot;saved&quot; by the grace of a holy God. I have cried more in the last two years of our struggle than I have ever cried in my life. I have wailed, yelled and shook my fist at God and have laid prone on the floor as my loving Father took me in His arms and spoke softly, &quot;My son, My child, My son, My child...&quot; I have experienced so much growth, so much stretching, so much pressure on my soul that I can scarcely recognize myself. I came from the prosperity movement and believed once that I was an extension of the Godhead. I hate myself for even writing that. The arrogance, selfishness and sickness of it all. Daily I come to God, broken contrite and humbled knowing that I am held together by the hand of my God, the God of the Bible, and as Paul Washer states, I can&#039;t even tie my shoes without the power of God on my life.

Thank you for your work. It has enriched my life, my blog and the life of those closest to me. Thank you for putting your necks out. Thank you for taking a stand and telling it like it is. Thank you for bowing your head to the Lordship and sovereignty of Jesus the Christ. I would deem it an honour if you felt led to communicate with me, I need to learn and grow, I have an unsatisfiable appetite for the things of God, and I thank Him here and now for you.

		<description><![CDATA[I don&#039;t know much about Joseph Prince, but he does seem to be of the &quot;Word-Faith&quot; (AKA &quot;pro$perity) mentality, as seen in this quote:&lt;blockquote&gt;I give thank for God for my roots in the Word of Faith teachings. It is truly on the shoulders of great men of God like Brother Kenneth E. Hagin that we are able to see further into the Word of God today. Growing up, I learned a lot about faith from Brother Hagin who truly had a special revelation of faith from the Lord. I deeply honor and respect him for all that he has taught me&quot; (From &lt;i&gt;Destined to Reign: The Secret to effortless success, wholeness and victorious living&lt;/i&gt;).&lt;/blockquote&gt;
So I would tell people to avoid him, just so they don&#039;t get sucked into the $ame here$ie$ that get taught on channels like TBN (The Bla$phemy Network$).

In a nutshell, the reason people find &quot;comfort&quot; in heretic$ like Kong Hee (or Je$$e Duplanti$ or Creflo $$$$$$ or the re$t of the crop of heretic$) is because these people don&#039;t challenge their crowds. They don&#039;t encourage people to examine the Scriptures in order to live lives of holiness to Almighty God. They simply tell people what they &lt;i&gt;want&lt;/i&gt; to hear, leave them with a $mile on their face and a funny $tory in their heart--as they gallop head-first toward Hell and judgment.]]></description>
