Back in 2008, I made a cult flyer/gospel tract combo available to the readers of this blog to download for free. Since then, this flyer/tract combo has undergone refinement and is now in its fifth printing. This flyer/tract combo was drafted as a way to inform the public about the truths of the Jehovah’s Witnesses […]

They just don’t get it.
For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not in accordance with knowledge. For not knowing about God’s righteousness and seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes. Romans 10:2-4 […]
May 21, 2011 . . . much to do about nothing.
Since Harold Camping is once again predicting Judgment Day to arrive on a specific day (a day that even the Son does not know), I figured I’d turn on Family Radio this past Monday to see how those expecting the world to end in less than a week would spend their valuable air time. Besides […]
Sermon of the week: “The Deity of Christ – An Examination of the Verses the Cults Use” by Charlie Campbell.
Your sermon of the week is one that defenders of the faith are going to love. The Deity of Christ – An Examination of the Verses the Cults Use by Charlie Campbell examines the eight most commonly used verses that Jehovah’s Witnesses employ to attack Christ’s deity. Campbell does a fantastic job of presenting the […]
Sermon of the week: “The Arians” by Phil Johnson.

This week Phil Johnson delivers a two-part message on The Arians from his series, A Survey of Heresies: The Arians (Part 1) The Arians (Part 2) Johnson does a fantastic job explaining the […]
What is the shape of your brain?
Can you guess who said the following? “The question then arises, if the world cannot approach God in prayer, what is the method by which He draws men? The Scriptures say that no man can come unto Christ except the Father draw him. (John 6:44.) The answer is that the drawing cannot be done though […]
Was Jonah a false prophet?
What’s one of the first things a Mormon or Jehovah’s Witness says when you point out the plethora of false prophecies uttered by their leaders? “Well, Jonah was a false prophet!” As if Jonah being a false prophet would somehow give their leaders license to make as many false prophecies as they desire. But did […]
Does the Book of Mormon really contain the “fullness of the gospel?”
The following is from Rocky of Mormon Outreach as found on Facebook: If the Book of Mormon contains the “Fulness [sic] of the Gospel” why aren’t these Mormon Doctrine essentials listed in the Book of Mormon? 1. Church organization 2. Plurality of Gods 3. Plurality of wives doctrine 4. Word of Wisdom 5. God is […]

Which “Jesus” do you worship?
False idols of who Jesus is come in all shades and styles, but there’s nothing that’s created more false idols of who Jesus is than man’s own heart. Unfortunately, most people have created a “Jesus” of their own liking, fashioned in the recesses of their carnal minds (or created by some religious leader that they’ve […]

What exactly DOES John 1:1 say, anyway?
Disclaimer 1: I do not claim to be a Greek scholar. But I do know how to pay attention to men who are. For this post, I have been very careful to only speak on matters that I have properly researched, investigated, and which I properly understand. Any technical aspects of biblical Greek included in […]
WOTM on Jehovah’s Witnesses.
Way of the Master put together a great video on Jehovah’s Witnesses, in spite of the fact that they’ve resorted to including Ravi Zacharias as an “apologist.” I noticed that on the other WOTM video on Mormonism (found here), Ravi was not included. Could it be because he’s sympathetic to LDS? For more on Ravi’s […]
Are we supposed to pray for the wolves?
Imagine if you will, the following scenario: A shepherd guarding his sheep observes a wolf among the flock cloaked in sheepskin. He stands up and yells “Wolf! Wolf! Run! Run!” And immediately the sheep begin to scatter, but not all. A small group turn to the sheep dog and, with an arrogant smirk plastered across […]

Nada Scriptura?
The world’s false religions and cults have many similarities, and one common thread among them all is their disbelief / distrust / disdain for the Bible. And among these groups, five stand out as surprising when you consider that they believe themselves to be Christian, and as everybody knows, “Christians” believe the Bible . . […]
The Watchtower’s Struggle with Being Born Again
I’ve read some past Watchtower magazine articles in an attempt to verify the Jehovah’s Witness teaching about what it means to be born again. I’ve found their teaching on this is truly inadequate. In discussions with Jehovah’s Witnesses, I’ve tried to explain the biblical meaning of born again in many ways. During our conversations, none […]

Dear Jehovah’s Witness: Is the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society an inspired prophet of God or not?
Is the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society an inspired prophet of God or not? Yes: They claim to be prophets of God. “So, does Jehovah have a prophet to help them, to warn them of dangers and to declare things to come? These questions can be answered in the affirmative. Who is this prophet?…This “prophet” […]
Seventh-day Adventism exposed.
A fascinating documentary which exposes Ellen G. White as a false prophetess and the SDA’s anti-Christian, anti-biblical, heretical teachings.
