The Reformation has never ended. It is just beginning.
When your neighbors and friends speak to you about “how great their church” is, how are we to respond?
By telling them the "Truth In A Nutshell."
There is absolutely nothing whatsoever revealed in God's Word about the primacy and exaltation of a specialist who issues forth a monologue Sunday after Sunday, notwithstanding the literally myriads of messages
to the contrary.
See and learn from the Scriptures the Truth.
"...They insist that anybody close to them be submissive and will lie and cheat to protect themselves and their empire, all the while posing as a righteous hero..."
"The norm of most of history was that families would actually spend their lives together, – all day."
Not any more!

WORD OF ADMONITION:
Today’s world of religious leaders (“pastors,’ “elders”, “overseers”, etc.) is no different than politicians, and that is because both of them think and act alike. Both think they must control others; dictate and legislate in the lives of others, right down to the last minutia. And of course, both think as well that they are entitled to free money at the expense of their private and personal disciples. There is no religious leader but Jesus Christ, and many "Christians" have yet to learn this truth.

CATCHPHRASE
“The Regulative Principle”
1) A man-made system that is purported to be the proper way to worship; 2) Failure to follow the Regulative Principle may indicate an unsaved condition.
“The Regulative Principle is a principle dear to the hearts of all who call themselves
biblical Christians.”
Remember that Jesus Himself; His teachings; and His followers were hated and despised by most of the religious teachers and spiritual leaders in His day. Let’s ask a question: Do you think that anything has changed regarding this in today’s religious/church environment? Yes. It’s gotten worse!
Your choice to live by the words of Scripture instead of by the words of
“the pastor” will reveal enemies and persecution from sources you
never dreamed of.

"The Pastoral Office"
Have I gone to the Word to secure the truth, or did I go to it to find support for opinions and practices already determined upon?
LIE OF THE WEEK
“Jesus told pastors that they shall be clothed with divine authority.”
The most powerful and truthful
quote ever uttered:
"The so-called p-a-s-t-o-r is not a necessity.
He is a fungus growth upon the church, the body of believers, dwarfing their growth and destroying relationships and families...
and until “the church”
(The Ecclesia – The Called-Out Ones)
gets rid of him, it will never prosper,
but will forever remain stunted.”
