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

Is God an End, or a Means to an End? (Paris Reidhead, January 1, 1965) https://youtu.be/nDQC45_RA2c There...

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.

Soldiering On

Soldiering On Is your church soldiering on without th... Is your church soldiering on without the Holy Spirit, perhaps while praying for revival? This will never produce revival. We must take the position, "Either the Holy Spirit comes, or the church closes. And it's over." How do you know if you're soldiering on? When your church stops confession and repentance. Instead, the church fills up broken cisterns with washed up doctrine, programs and Bible studies, casualness, and happy praise and worship. As a result, the church makes no impact on the culture. Christians remain carnal and unsanctified, and the lost unsaved. This isn't God's heart for the church. Before, the church had revivals. Refreshings of the Holy Spirit brought general change to entire cities and nations. Criminal activities stopped, bars closed, broken families made peace, and people paid back old debts. But, the modern church is so used to soldiering on that we don't even...

Are Only A Few People Going To Be Saved

Are Only A Few People Going To Be Saved https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RZKyB... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RZKyBw32Qk&t=1s Scriptures Used During Today's Broadcast: Luke 13, Matthew 16, Romans 6 Pastor Ray comes against the modern lie that all who say they are Christian must be, regardless of anything else. We must deny ourselves take up our cross and be crucified with Jesus. It's a losing or forfeiting of our dreams and desires, everything to follow Jesus. It's also an intentional leaving of sin and giving of ourselves fully to Jesus. Have you crossed that line dear one??? https://nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=61039&feed_id=5106

End Time Apostasy

End Time Apostasy https://youtu.be/FKOWuM2jb-Q Pasto... https://youtu.be/FKOWuM2jb-Q Pastor Ray focuses today on the End Time apostasy, which has resulted in a lukewarm church with no power. Will you cry out for the church and allow the Holy Spirit to meld you down? Do you hear the lies of the modern church saying that there is no victory by the blood of Jesus. It's time for victory in Jesus, do you have it? It's time to awaken for many and cry out to Jesus. https://www.nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=13126&feed_id=3031
