[July 24, 2022: There have been some changes made to this post. For more information, read the Editors’ notes at the bottom of the post. Editors.] See the spider's web, and behold in it a most suggestive picture of the hypocrite's religion. It is meant to catch his prey: the spider fattens himself on flies,… Continue reading They…weave a spider’s web — Charles H Spurgeon

Wise as Serpents: Grace is Not for Everyone (Part 21 of sermon series)
This morning I want to show you that God’s grace is not to be extended to everyone. I do not speak of His common grace, the kind of favor He exercises when He sends rain on the wicked and provides them with food. I am speaking of the saving grace that comes to us in Christ… Continue reading Wise as Serpents: Grace is Not for Everyone (Part 21 of sermon series)
Wise as Serpents: The Church’s Other Mission Field (Part 19 of sermon series)
Really we just have one mission field; but this is an aspect of the Christian's calling which is very important and sorely neglected. It is a mission field that evil detests. To the degree that evil is dominating — wicked unregenerate people parading as Christians, parading as the church — this mission field will inevitably be ignored. And it turns… Continue reading Wise as Serpents: The Church’s Other Mission Field (Part 19 of sermon series)
Wise as Serpents: Calling Evil Good, and Good Evil (Part 18 of sermon series)
There is something in us that can make us very reluctant to call evil for what it is – evil. I understand this to some extent and so do you.

The Spirit of the Abuser is the Same as a Mass Murderer
UPDATE Sept 2021: I have come to believe that Jeff Crippen does not practise what he preaches. He vilely persecuted an abuse victim and spiritually abused many other people in the Tillamook congregation. Go here to read the evidence. Jeff has not gone to the people that he spiritually and emotionally abused. He has not apologised to them,… Continue reading The Spirit of the Abuser is the Same as a Mass Murderer
The Holy Spirit Calls us to Expose Evil — People Tell us to be Quiet About it
And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed. But whoever does what is true comes… Continue reading The Holy Spirit Calls us to Expose Evil — People Tell us to be Quiet About it
Betrayal — Our Lord knows all about it
(8) By oppression and judgment he was taken away; and as for his generation, who considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living, stricken for the transgression of my people? (9) And they made his grave with the wicked and with a rich man in his death, although he had… Continue reading Betrayal — Our Lord knows all about it
