So you, son of man, I have made a watchman for the house of Israel. Whenever you hear a word from My mouth, you shall give them warning from Me. If I say to the wicked, O wicked one, you shall surely die, and you do not speak to warn the wicked to turn from his way, that wicked person shall die in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at your hand. But if you warn the wicked to turn from his way, and he does not turn from his way, that person shall die in his iniquity, but you will have delivered your soul.
–Ezekiel 33:7-9 (KJV)–

David Cloud, and his ministry Way of Life Literature, is the top Independent Fundamental Baptist (IFB) voice today that still preaches Biblical separation like Dr. John R. Rice with Sword of the Lord Publications did in the 1970s. I agree with a lot of what he says, but not with all of his opinions and conclusions. He’s against all rock music, he’s totally anti-charismatic, believes in eternal security, and he’s totally anti-Catholic. But he says a whole lot of other things that are very, very agreeable from a Wesleyan-holiness and old school Pentecostal point of view. Please check him out.

Nebuchadnezzar was driven out of human society and ate grass like an ox. The dew fell on his body, and his hair grew as long as eagle feathers and his nails as long as bird claws.

INSANE.

It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise,
than for a man to hear the song of fools.
–Ecclesiastes 7:5 (KJV)–

It has recently come to my attention that Max Cavalera joined up with his brother to form a group called Cavalera. They re-recorded and are now publicly playing their old albums Morbid Visions and Bestial Devastation. These albums are completely anti-Christian and Satanic in their lyrical content. Whatever quasi-Catholic spiritual progress Max made during his Soulfly years, it seems that he has set that aside, and had some type of a relapse into anti-Christian music. I can no longer endorse Max Cavalera’s material from here on out; and I will cease from playing even his clean, Biblically themed, and pro-Christian songs on my podcast. Please keep him in your prayers. I say no to Cavalera, no to Soulfly, and no to Sepultura. NO!

What is the next part of his testimony? You will find it in the third chapter: God is only to be approached in a spiritual way. To come to God, “ye must be born again.” That which is born of flesh is flesh, and cannot commune with God, who is a spirit. That which is born of the Spirit is spirit, and can commune with the holy God, and understand spiritual things. My hearers, there is no coming to God by a priest of human consecration, no coming by outward ritual, form, and ceremony: “God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.” You must have a spiritual nature, that the Spirit of God may commune with you. Only by a spiritual nature can you have intercourse with the great Invisible. Your spirit can be in fellowship with God, the mighty Spirit; but what can you do till a spirit is created in you? This was our Lord’s testimony to Nathanael; and I suppose that, by some means, John the Baptist had heard of it; but whether he had or had not does not matter to my purpose at this time; it is certainly a part of the testimony of Jesus.
–Charles Spurgeon, “Christ’s Testimony Received”–

You accepted the real Saviour for your real sin, and you believed in the real death of Christ for you: are you going to run back? Will you doubt your Lord after this? God grant you may not; but, on the contrary, may you go on confirming the testimony of Jesus, and setting it to your seal again and again that God is true! Give glory to God by believing that what he has promised he is able also to perform. Never stagger at the promise through unbelief. All the promises of God are yea and amen in Christ Jesus, to the glory of God by us; wherefore, we set to our seal that God is true. I have done, when I have said just this. Avoid, dear hearers, anxiously, the double sin of unbelief. If you do not believe Jesus, you do not believe God. If you reject his Son, you reject himself. If you give the lie to the teaching of Christ, you give the lie to God. Flee from this deadly sin.
–Charles Spurgeon, “Christ’s Testimony Received”–

This is really good.
–J.B.–

I have not shunned to declare
unto you all the counsel of God.
–Acts 20:27 (KJV)–

Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will: the one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds: but the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence
of the Gospel.
–Philippians 1:15-17 (KJV)–

The Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord
looketh on the heart.
–1 Samuel 16:7 (KJV)–

How could you know
Running in circles
With your eyes wide open
It’s not enough for you to hear me say
Things don’t have to be this way

Mental assent will give you nothing
Bitterness can become your epidemic

Don’t let it go away
Only you can make this change
Delusion’s an epidemic
Your grip
Your grip is firm
Casting words into empty lakes

Would you rather be blind?
Would you rather be blind?

How could you know
Running in circles
With your eyes wide open

Your grip is firm
Casting words into empty lakes
An epidemic

Would you rather be blind?
Would you rather be blind?

Don’t let it go away
Only you can make this change
