Why are Christian Churches Losing Members?

I have been compelled as of late to speak openly about the current falling away from the faith of Christ in so many Christian denominations around the country. Southern Baptists and United Methodists seem to be losing fewer members than other protestant churches at a 4% decline over the last 5 years but the Catholic Church and other Mega Churches are experiencing a drop off of attendance by up to 16% over that same time period. The increase in loss in these churches is something you will hear involves many variables but I suggest that when a preacher, pastor or priest give sermons that do not reflect what the reality of the day truly is parishioners see the disconnect and ask themselves why are they preaching all this feel good stuff when the world is clearly on the edge of another World War, this one being religious in nature and world wide in scope. The time is now to teach the unblemished truth about the world around us and the signs of the times as can clearly be discerned by any novice Biblical searcher. 

Tickling the ears of parishioners with feel good preaching is just leaving a hole where the heart knows only one message and one man can fill the void and so people leave the churches because they are not receiving the meat of the banquet table but rather sugary crumbs that have no individual value to a soul trying to grow in the knowledge and teachings of God. We have reached a point in the heavenly timeline, established by God long ago, where the signs in the heavens (starts), the moon and sun are to be closely watched and recognized for the harbingers they are for the second coming of Messiah. Jesus said that no man will know the day of His return but he alerted us to the fact that we can know the Season if we but search the Word for hear the voice of truth. I believe that the time is very close to the final chapter and we need to increase our efforts to help people see that it is paramount for each individual to reassess their real relationship with Jesus Christ the Savior for it is only by the sacrificed innocent blood of Christ on the cross and the Grace of God that can save us. 

In the next few months and possibly years to come everyone will make that final decision. It is up to each individual as to whether or not their decision is well informed, through diligent searching of the scripture (as we are instructed to do) and praying or is it to be a decision that is based on the traditions of man, the knowledge of man and the teachings of man claiming to speak for God. I know that God speaks for Himself through the Bible and He leaves little room for conjecture, He speaks quite plainly and in terms that one cannot misconstrue; As you can see below there seems to be no other interpretation available if one reads the words of Christ

None of this is really very hard to understand if you read the Bible for yourself and don't rely on other telling you what you just read. It always reminds me of how the talking heads on CNN will tell you what the President just said in a speech to the nation, really, I just heard it for myself and now people on TV are telling me what I just heard because I am too stupid to understand plain English or because the spin needs to be added to keep you thinking correctly and maintain that directional process by which you are guided both consciously and unconsciously toward an outcome acceptable to the ruling parties. Churches seem to do the same thing when they tell you this is required or that is required when in fact all you have to do is remember what occured between Jesus and the thief while hanging the cross.

Luke 23:43 “Today you will be with me in paradise”

Why would the thief be with Jesus this day in paradise
unless all the thief had to do was to believe that Jesus was who said He was, no other requirement. That doesn't mean that good works will not follow your conversion, that is simply the natural outcome of taking Jesus's heart as your own but that is not one of the many requirements I have seen and heard of over the years from various Christian churches and I have been to many. Only your belief will save you.

Roman 10:9

If you declare with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

Once someone understands that the Old Testament is the story of the New Testament somewhat hidden (for a good reason I might add) and the New Testament is the Old Testament revealed one cannot but understand that Jesus simply put an end to all blood sacrifices, the sacrifices that would cleanse the people of their sin for 1 year, but His one time sacrifice was for past, present and future sins of mankind. There is the entire story of the Bible, God knew man could never overcome his sinful carnal nature because mankind inherited this sinful nature by blood from Adam and Eve and so man would never be able to reattain the position in the Garden of Eden we were meant for. God chose to become a man of flesh and blood and actually allow himself to be sacrificed as that once and for all innocent blood sacrifice that covers a believer with the Holy blood of Jesus, a new covering that hides the sins of man and reveals only that new covering cloak that has been washed in the blood of Christ. God loves His creation and wants to see it restored and He was willing to suffer all the pain and anguish required to spill His blood upon the Earth covering everyone. Now they just need to understand and accept this wondrous and loving gift for there is no other means to stand before God without His own blood covering your sins and sinful nature. How big a gift is that????

All people are coming to a crossroads where they get to chose where they will spend eternity.

I love God and praise Him everyday for all He has bestowed upon me but at the top of any list of the great and magnificent things He has done for me as an individual is the greatest gift of all, He loved me and you so much that He could only bring us into His presence to be with Him face to face as Abraham did by becoming the only innocent blood sacrifice that would accomplish His ends. His blood wasn't tainted by the inherited sinful blood of man and that His blood sacrifice and suffering was done to save each and every man, woman and child on this Earth, even they don't know it. The Gospel has gone out to the world and when the world hears the Gospel and either accepts it and denies it will mark the completion and the end date, 
so said Jesus;  Matthew 24:14 "And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come." 


Pretty dramatic statement. Do you think the world has had a chance to hear the Gospel with all the means modern technology has available to us?, I believe that day is right around the corner. 

"then shall the end come."  

Simple Answers

I have received a few questions about my presentation of the history of the Blood Moon Tetrad in the affairs of Jews and Gentiles over the past 2000 years.  After reading and answering them perhaps I need to reiterate what these “Signs in the Heavens” mean us today is an alarm to notify believers that we have now entered a specific time when prophetical events begin to take shape and we will clearly see them if we have eyes to see and ears to hear what the Prophets have told us in scripture. These signs are merely telling us to pay closer attention, make sure you are anchored in the simplicity that is Gods gifts us i.e. Believe God as did Abraham, Believe Yahshua (Jesus is a Greek name), Believe in the Blood of the Messiah that has cleansed you and Believe in the Holy Spirit which is your direct line from God. If your anchor is true and held fast in the Truth then none of these signs will worry you but rather bring a sense of wonder and a confident smile that Gods plan is before us and it is revealing itself through the “signs in the heavens”.

The bottom line is that people, all people today are inundated with wall to wall polls, facts and non-facts, numbers, charts etc. that they are unaware that they are being buried beneath a mountain of nonsense designed to looked and feel informative and enlightening when in fact it is a tool of distraction from the truth and what truly matters to you and your soul. So don’t make your own mountain out minutia and nonsense simply know that God is revealing himself to you and the world today, which one will see it.  

America in Bible Prophecy

Revelation 18:4 – And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, “Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.”

This is so important, I hope that you will look up the Scriptures, and pray about it, before you disregard!!!!!

I know the following is a little long but certainly not nearly as long as I could have made it but please bear with me here as I am simply trying to point out what the scriptures say about end times Babylon. Search all this out yourselves and to those who will see shall see a clearer picture of the times in which we live and the country we love and call home.  Remember that it is the people who are ruling who speak for the entire nation and not individual citizens but citizens are held accountable for those whom they put in charge over them. Does Washington D.C. hold to any biblical teachings today? No.
   
Is America, the most dominant and influential nation of the end times, really not found in Bible prophecy as most Christians believe? If that doesn’t sound right to you, then you are not alone. Revelation and Jeremiah talk about a dominant end time power named “Mystery Babylon the Great” which stands in the way of evil but at the same time is so wicked itself that God judges her before the rest of the world. Sadly, there is no better plain literal fulfillment of Babylon than America today. Except…how can God judge a nation who does so much good and not judge so many arguably worse nations like China or Iran? How can Babylon be a nation when it says it’s a “city?” A leading city is still today synonymous with the nation in which it is located i.e. Washington is the United States as Moscow is Russia or London is Great Britain.
Where is the blood of slain prophets “found in her?”

Matthew 23:34-35 (HCSB) “This is why I am sending you prophets, sages, and scribes. Some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will flog in your synagogues and hound from town to town.  So all the righteous blood shed on the earth will be charged to you…” This will become more prevalent as Christians become more and more persecuted.

In the last days the Bible talks about a dominant city that is a major center of commerce that will be destroyed in one hour, Mystery Babylon the Great. The churches will tell you it is referring to the Vatican in Rome or an entire political, religious or economic system (it is all these things in one) yet to hold this view as the only answer one must ignore 98% of the Scriptures. Making this assumption based on one verse to use as evidence is folly. It can be easily discerned with a new and correct understanding of God’s Word. That is how warped the whole Vatican theory is that most churches and prophecy ‘gurus’ preach today when it comes to Revelation chapters 17 and 18. Why? Why do they want our focus on something else rather than what the Bible is really speaking of?

There is no other city or nation on earth that could fulfill these requirements other than the United States of America. There are some who hold to the view this passage is referring only to New York City. In fact, it refers to both NYC and the entire nation. The term “city” translated from the Greek means city or nation. In this instance, it refers to a nation led by its chief city, which is New York City. So in some instances it is talking about New York City and in others the nation itself. And if you’re not convinced, go back and read all these prophecies again about the last great nation on earth.
 
 The Bible Codes confirm that America is Babylon, and that the beasts coming will rule here, will be here, and will take over and destroy this country on their way to global rule from Jerusalem. Isn’t it amazing that there are over 100 prophecies that only one super power nation in the last days could fulfill and the churches tell you today that America isn’t mentioned in last day’s prophecies? This all broke my heart.


Ecclesiastes 8:5: “Whoso keepeth the commandment shall feel no evil thing: and a wise man’s heart discerneth both time and judgment.”

Babylon the Great is Alive

This particular subject matter has been a thorn in my side for 45 years because when I read “The Late Great Planet Earth” by Hal Lindsey in 1970 I was enthralled and yet very agitated at the same time because the Revelation to John just remained beyond my comprehension at the time and I just did not understand most of what was being said. I couldn’t understand how a book in the Bible called the revealing of knowledge was so obtuse and opaque. I did understand that this knowledge and understanding of the end times would be thoroughly understood by those who have ears to hear in the times spoken of in this prophetic book. That time is now, the signs are being revealed all around us on a daily basis but those who will never see or hear and understand the truth will simply fall to the wayside and follow the common path of destruction. This particular study will only be enlightening to those who truly seek the knowledge of God the rest of those who read this will, as they always do, simply turn aside because it doesn’t match up with what they learned through the teachings of man his false doctrines. Again, I have wrestled with this new understanding of end times prophecies for the last year because I simply did not want it to be true. When I read it and truly saw and understood the words that were spoken in the scriptures about these end times by all the prophets my understanding went through the roof and pieces of this puzzle that have plagued me for years began to fall into place and the real picture began to reveal itself. It is not a pleasant picture for America and America is the only nation on earth that fulfills all these prophecies. It is a very sad picture of self-destruction that clothed in modern reasoning where emotions rule the hearts of men and not the Word of God. This is no longer the nation we fool ourselves into believing is a nation guided by God for our leaders have cursed God publicly and didn’t even know they had done it.
