Is God an End, or a Means to an End? (Paris Reidhead, January 1, 1965)

There's a pervasive attitude, especially in the modern American church, that God is simply a means rather than an end. We've  simply opted in large part to use God to get what we could from Him. So I will serve God as long as gives me what I want and then if He doesn't give me what I desire than I'm out, or I'll stay out of a sense of duty and become a religionist. Humanism has led to the shipwreck of many, including myself, not even knowing why at the time. Others have simply become religionists and that kind of shipwreck is the most terrifying type because in it, we delude ourselves in that we're serving God. This lie keeps God's people from true repentance and I pray that will it break your heart as it has mine as you listen.

God used a man over 50 years ago, Paris Reidhead, in this precious sermon, Ten Shekels and a Shirt to unveil the lie of humanism, which now has consumed our culture to such an incredibly large extent. I've included the entire sermon as a link above and the audio link below contains a short excerpt (just over 12 minutes) from something called Revival Hymn, but I would encourage you to listen to the message in its entirety.

The Terrifying Work of Demons

The Terrifying Work of Demons https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDqcrA... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDqcrAuPfYA Pastor Ray delves into the spirit world to uncover the terrifying work of demons. We must know and engage in this battle and trust Jesus to fully deliver us. He uses the story of the demoniac in Mark Chapter 5 to uncover the enemy's game plan for you and me. Have you been set free by the blood of Jesus, or are you still enslaved? The battle belongs to the Lord, but we must engage ourselves in this battle through confession, repentance and trust in Jesus. The heart of Jesus is victory against every demonic power that would come against you. https://www.nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=41536&feed_id=1015

Set Your Heart on Jesus

Set Your Heart on Jesus https://youtu.be/xhm9_x_nKUU Using... https://youtu.be/xhm9_x_nKUU Using Malachi, John 14, and Galatians 5, Pastor Ray asked the question have you made an acceptable offering before the Lord, where you have divorced your sin and have been crucified with Christ or have you offered a profane offering before the Lord? That's only a question you can prayerfully ask the Holy Spirit. May you set your heart like flint to follow the Lord Jesus Christ, He is enough but the only acceptable offering to Jesus is everything! https://www.nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=3908&feed_id=3386
