Notice he’s got The Evidence Bible on the shelf behind him.
That’s Ray Comfort’s Bible.
–J.B.–

Whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
–Matthew 18:6 (KJV)–

²⁰ Since you died with Christ to the elemental spiritual forces of this world, why, as though you still belonged to the world, do you submit to its rules: ²¹ “Do not handle! Do not taste! Do not touch!”? ²² These rules, which have to do with things that are all destined to perish with use, are based on merely human commands and teachings. ²³ Such regulations indeed have an appearance of wisdom, with their self-imposed worship, their false humility and their harsh treatment of the body, but they lack any value in restraining sensual indulgence.
–Colossians 2:20-23 (NIV)–

The strict ascetic nature of the heresy is seen here. These prohibitions seem to carry OLD TESTAMENT CEREMONIAL LAWS to the extreme…a harsh ascetism that brutally misused the body. Paul’s analysis is that such practices are worthless because they totally fail to control sinful desires. —NIV Study Bible

Christcore in effect ya know what I’m sayin’
I’m straight up slave to Christ and man I’m not playin’
I’m hatin’ the devil to the end of this age
I’m preachin’ the Gospel boldly in the last days
I take tha bass and blast it out ‘cho speakas
We take them eardrums and we make ’em a little weaka
Screaming truth, raging compassion

Dark
Darkness surrounds you cold
Lose your head, save your soul

Apocalyptic vibes I’m sendin’ out
The times so close at hand without a doubt
Flood waters rushing in, you’re suffocated
Don’t know what’s goin’ on, your soul emaciated

Dark
Darkness surrounds you cold
Lose your head, save your soul

His destruction will overwhelm you
Like a hunter over the hunted

You’ve got numbers on your head and numbers on your hand
There’s no escape for you to the Promised Land
As I said before, the time is close at hand
Your life is washed away like the sand

Top of the mind for Rev. Wilkerson on the subject of preaching against sin—adultery, pornography, drug addiction, and alcoholism. –J.B.

I dreamed that I was speaking with a Pentecostal pastor. He said that while he has deep respect for Paul Washer, there’s no way that he could preach against sin the way he does. He’s aware that lots of Pentecostal pastors criticize Washer because of this. I thought, Man, these guys are such cowards. And I was glad that I hadn’t been deceived by such a false ministry concept. Then I thought about that timeless pamphlet Why Preach Against Sin? by Dr. John R. Rice, and I woke up. –J.B.

Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet,
and shew my people their transgression,
and the house of Jacob their sins.
–Isaiah 58:1 (KJV)–

⁴ And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the Lord had respect unto Abel and to his offering: ⁵ But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell. ⁶ And the Lord said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen? ⁷ If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him. ⁸ And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
–Genesis 4:4-8 (KJV)–
