Spiritual Deception of the New Age – Rob Pue

Posted on August 18, 2018 by ccpastormike

We are seeing the words of Scripture play out in living color before our very eyes every single day now, though the unsaved world cannot comprehend it. With all we have to contend with, it’s easy for us to get distracted, focusing on the things we see in this physical world every day, and forgetting about the invisible, spiritual world all around us. But this is where the REAL war is actually being waged.

The abominations we SEE on this earth are actually just the manifestations of intense warfare being played out in the spiritual realm. Ephesians 6 tells us, “We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but…against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.” There is a whole SPIRITUAL WORLD “out there” that we do not see while we live in these earthly bodies, yet it is as just as real as the ground we walk on. And these “spiritual forces of evil” are working overtime against all of us. Peter warns us to be aware of this. “Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.”

Work While The Sun Shines – Coach Dave Daubenmire

Posted on August 2, 2018 by ccpastormike

Please forgive me if I don’t happen to share in the euphoria currently emanating from the Evanjellyfish who are going gaga over the moving of the American embassy to Jerusalem.

It has nothing to do with whether or not I am anti-Semitic or pro-Semitic, or whether I support Israel or don’t support Israel. To be perfectly honest with you it has absolutely no bearing on how I live my life.

But the same is not true with other Christians…at least many who choose to write all over my walls at Facebook. (I never understood why they felt they had the right to write derogatory stuff on MY PAGE. I’d boot them out of my house if they pulled out a paintbrush and starting attacking the drywall in my physical home.)

Dare I say it? The absolute worship of Jerusalem and Israel by Evanjelly-culls has my head spinning. Is it possible to be Semite-neutral? Am I in danger of hell fire damnation simply because I don’t get my Israel pom poms out? I am Pro-Israel…whatever that means. But I am also Pro-American, Pro-German, Pro-human. Does that disqualify me as a real Christian?

Permit me to connect a couple of dots for you, at least in regards to how I live my life. I am extremely excited about the job that Donald Trump is doing as President. Naturally, I don’t agree with everything he does, but most of us don’t agree with EVERYTHING Jesus did. All in all, I think he is doing a great job.

I also find it encouraging that President Trump has followed through on his promise to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. I understand the Biblical significance of the nation of Israel and all of the promises that God made towards them.

But neither one of those events…the election of Donald Trump and the acknowledgment of Jerusalem…have changed the course of my life one iota. To me, both events are merely signposts that God is up to something. I think the jury is out on both of these remarkable events as to whether they will ultimately be for our good or for our demise.

Understand, I don’t deny the hand of God in both events but I think it would be foolish to connect a Biblical significance as to how and when this whole thing is going to play out.

I got up this morning, did my internet show, and made plans for ministry outreaches for the rest of the week. Moving the US Embassy to Jerusalem has done nothing to alter the way I live my life.

A signpost is nothing more than a landmark that signifies a particular point of reference when on a journey. Our interstate highways have mile-markers which help verify that you have not lost your way. They are simply confirmations, or warnings, that you are heading in the direction that you intended to go.

The moving of the embassy to Jerusalem is a mile marker…a confirmation that the plan that God laid out is still in operation. But most of my Jellyfish friends are acting as if it was a destination. That now that we have passed that Jerusalem-marker we are simply a few exits away from our arriving at the end of our journey.

That, my friends, is a dangerous assumption to make. Although the mile-marker can encourage us that the journey is nearing an end, sometimes the last few miles of a trip can take the longest. What if there is a traffic jam ahead which makes the final miles much longer to navigate than we had anticipated?

“How long till we get there?” The jellyfish cry out to the driver.

“I’ll let you know when we arrive.” Isn’t that what Jesus told us? “No man knows the day or the hour.”

I am sorry to quell your excitement about the imminent return of Jesus and the sky splitting rapture of the church. Rather than doing all you can to hurry along to the end of the trip wouldn’t we be wise to obey His words to “Work while the sun shines for a day commeth when no one can work?”

Be honest with me now. Have the recent events in the Middle East changed your life in any significant way? Has the election of Donald Trump really altered what you do in your daily life? If the answer to either one of those questions is affirmative then you are missing the most significant part of your life. Your impact, your work, your effectiveness is most felt right where you live. Try as you might…no matter how much you pray for the peace of Jerusalem you will not speed up nor slow down God’s prophetic time clock.

It ain’t over till He says it is over.

Get your head out of the sky and look around you. If the clock really is getting ready to strike zero don’t you think you should spend some time warning those around you? In your daily life are there people that you come in contact with every day who need to hear the message of the Kingdom of God? Shouldn’t we be working everyday to get as many bales of hay on to the wagon as we possibly can?

I just took a peak outside my window and the sun is shining. I guess that means it is time for me to get out of my easy chair, put away my computer, and get to work. The sign posts are there. We are getting close to the end.

I don’t worry about the rapture. I’m too busy working. If the trumpet blast sounds I think I will be on the first busload out. I just want to make sure that the bus is full when the journey ends. That’s what the Lord wants as well. That’s the work he wants us to do. Fill the bus.

Get your eyes out of the Middle East and get to work right where you live. Real lives are counting on you.

…For a day commeth when no man can work.

Do I have to believe in the Rapture to be part of it?

Lead Like Jesus? – Pastor Mike Spaulding

Posted on August 1, 2018 by ccpastormike

Lead like Jesus! Sounds super spiritual and to use today’s hipster pastor language, “way cool!” There are blog posts, multiple articles, even books all dedicated to assisting readers in leading like Jesus lead. The question is, what does that even mean?

In many instances today, authors, speakers, and writers paint a picture of the compassion, mercy, forgiveness, patience, tolerance, and unbounded grace of Jesus. While Jesus is all those things, it doesn’t follow that is His leadership style. The fact is, modern Western Christianity has created a sad caricature of the biblical Jesus.

In Mark 10:32 we read that Jesus and the disciples were on the road once again, this time to head to Jerusalem. This verse says “and Jesus was walking ahead of them, and they were amazed, and those who followed were fearful.” The context of this passage and the place it sits within the overall narrative of Mark’s Gospel is important to understand.

Jesus was now within a few weeks, perhaps as few as 4 to 6, from His divine appointment at Golgotha. Chapter 11:1 tells us Jesus and the disciples approached Jerusalem. Their entry into Jerusalem in verse 11 is what we call Palm Sunday. So the events we are reading about in Mark 10 are relevant to their arrival in Jerusalem and the rapid escalation of hatred that culminated in Calvary.

So, Jesus was walking ahead of the twelve disciples and they were amazed. Do you know why they were amazed? The text doesn’t tell us specifically but I believe the twelve were amazed at the bold determination of Jesus to march right into the jaws of the beast that awaited Him in Jerusalem. The religious system of Judaism in that day was an apostate beast system of corruption, manipulation, and deceit. The Jews had been plotting to murder Jesus for at least the previous 18-24 months. They seethed with rage just thinking of His popularity among the people, and they had become convinced that unless Jesus was killed their entire religious business was going to collapse like an unstable house of cards.

In the events recorded in Mark 10, the Pharisees thought they had conceived of the perfect plan and that they had been patient enough to spring their trap when Jesus crossed over the Jordan into Perea (“beyond the Jordan” in 10:1). They deliberately brought up the issue of divorce thinking they could manipulate Jesus into getting Himself arrested based on His own words. The Pharisee’s plan was to engage Jesus in a debate about divorce while He was traveling through the territory ruled by Herod Antipas. It was Herod Antipas who had John the Baptists’ head removed. Do you recall why Herod took such action? John was jailed and executed because he spoke loud and often that Herod was an adulterer for stealing his brother’s wife. But Jesus once again took them to theological school by teaching them God’s thoughts on the subject.

Now, I’m stating all of this to show you the true nature of Jesus’ leadership style. Friends, Jesus is not the effeminate Fabio caricature much of the American church thinks He is. Do you want to lead like Jesus? Then here is what you are going to need to do.

(1) You are going to have to lead the way. You are going to have to take the point. I know it has become popular to say that pastoral leadership is all about teaching others to do the ministry. The reality is others will follow and learn as you lead and do. But you better be very careful about how and where you lead God’s people, especially if you are considered a shepherd. God will hold you personally responsible for the spiritual nourishment or lack thereof that His people receive.

(2) You are going to have to find some courage. Leading is not about having all the answers. Only Jesus had all the answers. Leading is about having a determination to meet evil head-on. This includes being courageous in the pulpit. Pastors and ministry leaders simply must stop all the cotton candy sermons about how much God loves people. The most glaring problem in the church today is not a lack of self-love. People already love themselves too much.

(3) You are going to have to stop listening to false teachers. Today we have well-known teachers, former and current pastors, and heads of denominational organizations who have succumbed to critical race theory propaganda, cultural Marxism, LGBT depravity, the demonic deception that Islam is compatible with American culture and values, and every other Luciferian agenda passed off as “compassionate Christianity.” Listen to me brethren: find some courage and denounce these people and their heresies because here is the truth of the matter:

Islam is the military arm of the forces of hell.
American media is the propaganda arm of the forces of hell.
Apostate Christianity provides the “religious” covering and immoral framework for the forces of hell.
The United States Supreme Court has wrested power away from the aristocrats in Congress and has become the legal sledgehammer for the forces of hell.
Naive, deceived, and compromised Christians are the useful idiots of the forces of hell.
America’s corporations including multi-national companies, central banks, and social media behemoths, provide the financial support for the forces of hell.

There is a reason Jesus confronted the beast religious system of His day: He recognized that it was not of God, did not obey His commands, and was instead worshipping idols of their own creation. The LGBT flag-waving, affirming, proud professing Christians are going to wake up in eternity and experience sheer terror when they hear “depart from Me you workers of iniquity.” Listen to me Christian: there is nothing to be proud of when one man sticks his penis into another man’s rectum. Have you lost your mind? That is not love and love has not won anything. Wickedness won and if you can’t see that then you are the problem.

The Islamic interfaith dialogue crowd is a picture of what happens when you deny centuries of history, the plain teachings of the Koran, the current speeches of the God-haters scattered all around the world in mosques, and the barbaric atrocities committed daily for Allah’s honor. What is there to dialogue about with people who say Jesus Christ was not the Son of God, did not die on a cross, never rose from the dead, and certainly is not the Savior of the world? With the fields white to harvest why are impotent stooges being honored for giving Islamic jihadists cover with their blind ego-driven speeches and seminars?

(4) You will need to realize that not all will follow you. The twelve were amazed but the larger contingency of disciples that followed Jesus was fearful (10:32). As I mentioned above, the twelve were amazed at Jesus’ resolve to travel directly to Jerusalem. The twelve knew the heated debates and angry words the religious leaders hurled at Jesus. The twelve had been ridiculed themselves for following Jesus. Watching Jesus walk that road straight into Jerusalem was a lesson they would forget in Gethsemane and in the days following Jesus ascension but, it was also one they remembered and drew strength and courage from after the giving of the Holy Spirit.

Some will fall away because they fear the path you are walking. They fear what they perceive to be the negative consequences for them personally. They will count the cost and decide it is too high a price to pay.

(5) You are going to have to tell people to stop sinning. America is currently in a period of time in which we are witnessing a mass exodus from the church. Do you have any idea why? The reason is simply this: people see very little difference between the lives of professing Christians and the general population. The church does not need another sermon series on being the best parent or spouse you can be. Christians do not need to be told to have their best life now. Christians need to understand that there are answers to their heartbreak. Statistics tell us that pornography is at an all-time high and rising among both men and women who profess faith in Christ. The church doesn’t need another sermon series on good sex. It needs clear biblical teaching on the God-given gift of sex that honors each spouse and that brings to bear the spiritual significance of sexual intercourse within marriage. The church needs to recover its identity as the assembly of the saints but it will not until the saints start acting like the people of God once again. The church needs accountability.

Do you want to lead like Jesus? If so then I encourage you to read Mark 10:38. There you see the cost to yourself and all that you count dear in this life. So, ask yourself, are you able to drink the cup Jesus drank? If you want to lead like Jesus, friend, you better buckle up because the ride is going to get bumpy. You are going to be misunderstood and even hated. You will be seen as a threat to the apostates of the beast religious system which is much of American Christianity, and you will be completely out of step, out of tune, and out of sync with the world system.

Father, I pray that You would raise up men and women who understand the times in which we live and who will not be afraid to lead with fearless conviction and Holy Spirit power, straight into the bared teeth of the Luciferians who control America. Father, equip us with divine courage that we would not flinch at the sight of evil but would instead snarl right back with a ferociousness born of a blood-bought soul. I ask this covering to be upon all who read these words and volunteer to lead like Jesus. In the wonderful, mighty, powerful name of Jesus I ask this, amen!

Our ‘Reasonable Service’ is Not Comfort – Rob Pue

Posted on July 31, 2018 by ccpastormike

Today’s message may not be very popular. But it is time to call things like they are. First, a disclaimer, what I am about to say does not apply to EVERY pastor and EVERY church. But I believe any thinking person must agree that it most certainly DOES APPLY to MOST. Yes, the VAST MAJORITY, … of pastors and churches… and professing Christians.

First, a few questions: why is our nation under such outrageous confusion and demonic delusion? Why is it that so many of our children cannot even say for sure whether they are male or female — and the parents are now encouraging them to “explore and experiment” with their sexuality, some even at preschool age? Why do these same parents take their young kids to sodomite “pride” parades and “drag queen story time” at the local library to gleefully celebrate “diversity?”

LGBT Thought Police Are Here – Rob Pue

Posted on July 27, 2018 by ccpastormike

I have just gone through quite a week, to say the least…. and more is coming my way. It seems when you speak the truth in our modern world, you become the hated of all men (and women). Case in point: my recent commentary here, entitled “Earnestly Contending for the Faith” received quite a bit of feedback. Mostly positive from people who understand what I was talking about… the need to EARNESTLY CONTEND FOR THE FAITH, breaking out of our “Churchianity” mindset and doing MORE than just attending church and feeling you have rendered your full and complete “Reasonable Service” to God.

I CONTENDED that “Contending for the Faith” involves WORK. And the work, as those of you who DO IT know, is not easy. I quoted from the book of Jude where we read, “…it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that you should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. For there are certain men crept in unawares… ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness and denying the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Jude goes on to use as an example the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah: “Even as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication and going after strange flesh are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. Likewise, also, these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion and speak evil of dignities.”

Sounds like our day, doesn’t it? Evil men (and women) have crept in, unawares, and now invade every single nook and cranny of our society and culture, including our professing Christian Churches, where, I pointed out in my last message, that 67% of professing believers in Christ now ALSO BELIEVE that sodomite marriage is perfectly alright.

So I heard from some of the listeners after my last program. As I said, most listeners on VCY understand the situation of real spiritual warfare we are dealing with. Real DEMONIC influences, creeping in and twisting God’s Word, defiling and deceiving our people — young and old alike, but Satan especially targets our children. If he is unable to kill God’s image-bearers in the womb before they are born, then he will twist their minds into a hideous abomination.

What’s more, the parents are now encouraging this depraved mindset. Many today are raising their kids in absolutely GODLESS homes, with no Bible study whatsoever, no information about God AT ALL — unless it is a false god… And so today, anything goes, as long as it is depraved. Bring the POWER of the name of JESUS CHRIST OUR SAVIOR into the mix, and you will be hated of all men.

We’re in a spiritual battle of good vs. evil, the Godly ones who KNOW the truth versus the evil ones who have crept in unawares. I have said before, and I will repeat it again here: MOST of the professing Christian “churches” in this country are absolutely over-run with carnality and cowardice. Carnality from the preachers and pew-sitters alike, and cowardice to face the TRUTH of what God’s Word truly says. The people are DESTROYED for lack of knowledge because so very FEW church-goers even know what the Bible SAYS. Biblical illiteracy is epidemic. Our pastors refuse to speak on more than just a few easy passages, lest someone get offended. Meanwhile, the people perish.

Ask yourself: what has changed in most modern churches in the last ten years? I dare say nothing. Even though our culture most certainly has. The demonically-influenced Obama — who many heralded as the “new Messiah” — saw to that. He not only expanded and heavily funded everything evil and abhorrent to the Lord, he also brought in the false god of Islam, and fundamentally transformed the thinking of an entire nation. Under his watch, we went from being a Constitutional Republic to a country of “Democratic Socialism,” better described as “Mobocracy.”

He refused to prosecute crime, yet he personally committed countless treasonous crimes against our country, God and nature every single day he sat in the Oval Office. Talk about the OBOMINATION that brought desolation! And lest you think his days are over, let me remind you, he is now working just two miles from the White House, and it is my belief that he is one of the main operatives behind the scenes working to bring all-out civil war to this nation, using his “community organizing” skills, honed through study of his hero, Saul Alinsky — who, I might remind you, dedicated his book, “Rules for Radicals” to Lucifer.

But again, while our society and culture has changed drastically in the last ten years, virtually NOTHING in our churches has changed. Maybe the “worship team” changed drummers…. maybe you got new carpeting or padded the pews. Maybe the church got a new, younger “pastor,” more “in tune” with the times. Likely the doors have been opened to all manner of worldliness, while “repentance” is a word never spoken. When was the last time YOU heard a sermon on repentance?!

And NONE of the SERIOUS, major cultural and social issues that are plaguing this land can EVER be mentioned — MOST “pastors” “CENSOR” such things from the pulpits… They will simply say we must “love everyone” and just pray for them. Let me tell you something though: God does NOT love everyone. That may sound like a radical statement. But clearly, we know from GOD’S HOLY WORD, which DOES NOT CHANGE — that He HATES all workers of iniquity.

Today, workers of iniquity abound. A few weeks ago, Maxine Waters encouraged people to physically attack all Trump supporters. Since that time, there have been more than 200 attacks around the country on Trump supporters. Physical, BLOODY attacks. Our college campuses are no longer places of higher learning — they are outposts of radical socialism and fascism.

Truth has fallen in the streets, truly. Truth is no longer an acceptable thing. Today, it is abhorrent to the people. TRUTH SOUNDS LIKE HATE, TO THOSE WHO HATE THE TRUTH. Hedonism rules the day. And if you think for a moment that the sodomite agenda is not real and flourishing, think again, because I have seen it. I have personally FACED it, up close and personal. SO IF YOU HAVE NOT, then please, save the emails: don’t try to tell me how “loving” the militant sodomites are. I know better… if you have not seen them in action for yourself, then you know NOTHING — other than what they WANT you to believe.

Those marching in these sickening “pride parades” are some of the most depraved, mean-spirited and hateful people you will ever come across…. and let me again remind you, they do not march alone anymore. They are now joined by countless so-called Christian “churches,” pastors and clergy. The TRUTH of God’s Word, His natural design and order for marriage, family and parenting is simply NOT ALLOWED. It is now deemed HATEFUL and BIGOTED and the lying Left must SILENCE all dissent, because they know they have no moral or righteous leg to stand on. We literally, now, have some in our pulpits calling the Word of God “hate speech!” How much more reprehensible can you get?

Let me tell you what else happened this week. Our Vimeo account was abruptly shut down — DELETED without warning. Vimeo is an internet video-hosting and archival service. If you want to post videos to your website, which we DO at Wisconsin Christian News, you need a server or a host site to post the videos to first — unless you have the money and resources to purchase and maintain your own equipment to do that. And the equipment to do that is prohibitively expensive for most, especially ministries like ours.

At the start of the year, we purchased a video-hosting plan from Vimeo to the tune of $1,000.00 so that we could include video content to our website. Since January, we have posted countless videos there, with never a single problem or issue. However, early last week, we began hosting David Arthur’s new program on our Vimeo account, as a way to help out his new ministry. He does not have the resources and cannot afford to do this on his own, so we wanted to help.

David Arthur, in case you don’t know, is a former “transgender prostitute,” who was radically saved by the grace of God. He has come out of that lifestyle and now has a ministry to help others do the same. He is not “mean spirited,” “hateful,” or “bigoted.” He simply speaks the truth from God’s Word and he gives encouragement and hope to those trapped in the demonic sin of perverted sex by giving his own, powerful, personal testimony of salvation.

Well, we ran ONE — you heard me right — ONE of David’s TV programs on our Vimeo page, and then our Vimeo page was IMMEDIATELY DELETED by the Vimeo “Thought Police.” Mind you, we PAID for this service: DEARLY! Users of Vimeo post all kinds of materials. ANYTHING GOES on Vimeo — EXCEPT, (and listen closely now), EXCEPT TELLING THE TRUTH ABOUT HOMOSEXUALITY, TRANSGENDERISM AND SEXUAL PERVERSION. You do THAT, and you are DONE!

But it is worse than the money we spent to pay for their video hosting service. When they delete your account, you also LOSE all your content. Meaning that all the time, money and effort involved in professional video production is just stolen from our ministry. Why? Because THEY CAN’T HANDLE THE TRUTH being spoken of, therefore, we are silenced.

What did Vimeo say? Here’s their statement: “Any commentary that makes derogatory or inflammatory statements about individuals or groups of people will be a violation. Homophobic statements that call gay individuals ‘unnatural’ are not permitted under the Terms of our Service.”

I have to wonder: how many videos do they allow that make derogatory or inflammatory statements about Donald Trump? Are THOSE taken down and accounts deleted? No, in fact, Vimeo is PACKED with such things. How many videos do they allow that make derogatory or inflammatory statements about Christianity or those who believe in natural male/female marriage? And I hope you caught the part of the message where they stated to me, “Homophobic statements that call gay individuals ‘unnatural’ are not permitted.”

Friends, there is NOTHING “Natural” about sodomy. (They HATE that word too, by the way, because it DESCRIBES the ACTIVITY that homosexuals engage in). No, friends, make no mistake: homosexuality is not about “love.” It is about unbridled LUST and depravity. THERE IS NOTHING NATURAL ABOUT SODOMY. So for us to state in our video content that homosexual activity is “unnatural,” is NOT “homophobic.” I have no “phobia” about homosexuals. They are simply lost, confused people, caught up in a demonic perversion that is, INDEED about as UNNATURAL as you can get! Yet the THOUGHT POLICE at Vimeo have silenced us — at least on their service.

It’s no different from the college campuses that experience riots, burning, and physical attacks if a conservative speaker tries to make a speech there. It’s no different from those in the “pride” parades physically attacking Christians who go there to try to snatch these lost souls from the claws of Satan’s grasp…. while the police look on in amusement.

We live in a world where truth, indeed, has fallen in the street. TRUTH, now, sounds like HATE, because so many now HATE THE TRUTH. They cannot TOLERATE it. They WILL NOT tolerate it.

What can you do about it? Number one: NEVER BE AFRAID TO SPEAK THE TRUTH. Never buckle under the intimidation they try to throw at you. Stand up for Jesus and God’s Word — EVERY CHANCE YOU GET! And number two: If you are so inclined, you might like to contact Vimeo and politely, but firmly express your thoughts as to their censorship of truth. You can reach them at: Vimeo Inc., Attention Legal Department, 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York, 10011. Email them at legal@Vimeo.com

Finally, please keep ME in your prayers, as well as our ministry, because we are under attack and wearing a target on our backs every single day. We have, as God’s Word warned, become a prey to the ungodly. Isaiah 59: “Justice is turned back, and righteousness stands afar off; for truth is fallen in the street and equity cannot enter. So truth fails, and he who departs from evil makes himself a prey.”
