DAILY DEVOTIONAL SUNDAY NOVEMBER 26, 2006
(Luke 14:23, Titus 1:16, Galatians 6:1-12)
***FINANCIAL UPDATE: Wonder why I do this...ask you to help me?
Please,
take 30 seconds and watch this video clip from Wednesday's TV
program:
The fact is, I get many emails a week from people like Bob. However,
if it
was only for Bob, I would gladly go through all I do each day and night
to
be here to give him the hope he needs to move forward with his life and
find
Christ as His Savior! A HUGE THANK YOU to so many who made
incredible
sacrifices over the last few days to help me. We were $190,000 short
of
what we needed by 5 p.m. Wednesday, and because so many cared, we were
able
to cover $90,000 of that. At 5 p.m. I told the people at the "i"
Network I
was sending what I had and would send the rest first thing
Tuesday.
I might have to go out this weekend and stand at a busy intersection,
asking
people to empty their change into a bucket. Whatever it takes.
I am
trusting God that between today and the end of the day Monday, I will
hear
from one person or several people who will step up to cover this
final
amount. GOD IS ABLE! Again, for those who were led and able to
help, THANK
YOU SO MUCH! YOU MAKE IT POSSIBLE FOR ME TO BE HERE FOR THE MANY
"BOBS" WE
REACH EACH DAY!!!
***AFTER HAVING A CHILD OUT OF WEDLOCK, LAST WEEK TOM CRUISE AND
KATIE
HOLMES WERE MARRIED IN A CEREMONY MOCKING GOD'S HOLY INSTITUTION
SINCE IS
WAS DONE THROUGH THE SCIENTOLOGY CULT. With the public's
insatiable
appetite for "stars," the media gives a platform to people like Tom
Cruise
and others to share their misguided "faith" in cults like
Scientology.
Celebrities like Cruise sadly influence millions of people who are
looking
for hope and answers in their life, leading them AWAY from the only
true
hope and answer there is...JESUS CHRIST!!!
Why Tom Cruise, John Travolta, Kirstie Alley, Priscilla Presley, and
millions of others are on a conveyor belt straight to hell! Knowing
that
there is the better percentage of two full generations living today
that
don't go to church, were not raised in a Christian home, and have no
spiritual foundation to their lives, I am motivated daily to bring
these
people the Truth of God's Word and the hope and love of Christ before
they
fall into the hands of the many cults and false religions that exist
today.
Let me help you understand something. When man sinned and his
relationship
with God was broken, there became a void in man that only God can
fill.
Deep down, sinful man knows something is missing in his life, something
that
the things of this world can't fill, and he begins a search to fill
that
void.
Everyone who lives has to deal with the trials, the pain, the challenges
of
living in this sinful and fallen world. Those who have no
spiritual
foundation to their life will spend their teen and young adult years
trying
to fill that spiritual void with the things this world promotes such
as
alcohol, drugs, relationships, sex, money, career, material possessions,
and
all the other temporal things of this life. It is usually when a
person
hits their 30s that they realize that the things this world offers simply
do
not fill that void they have in their life. That is why during their
30s
and 40s so many people begin to explore the spiritual side of their
life.
Those of us who know Jesus Christ as our Savior, who know the Truth of
God's
Word, have the ONLY answer these people are looking for. That void in
their
life is there due to their broken relationship with God their Creator
and
can only be filled by being reconnected to God their Creator thru faith
in
His Son Jesus Christ. What upsets me more than anything else is to
watch
the cults and false religions of the world boldly and aggressively
market
themselves to the lost and hurting in this world as the answer they
are
looking for. They don't do this by creating their own subculture and
hoping
people will come to them, they actively go out and pursue people, using
the
resources of this world to reach them with their lies and false
hope.
Let me be blunt. While we have become content with building
beautiful
buildings with all the modern conveniences and technologies of the world
for
our people to enjoy, while we have set up our own TV, radio, music,
and
publishing empires to preach to ourselves, the cults of the world like
the
Mormons, the Jehovah's Witnesses, Kaballah, Scientology, Moon's
Unification
Church, the false religions of the world like Islam, Buddhism, B'hai,
Hindu,
and the many New Age philosophies, are reaching out to the lost and
hurting
in this world through secular TV, radio, music, advertising, and
publishing
vehicles that reach the world's masses each day.
We have forgotten that Jesus told us to, "Go out into the highways
and
hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled."
(Luke
14:23 KJV) At some point it became too much work to go out and reach
people
and much more financially profitable to simply preach to the choir.
So we
abandoned the world, retreated to the subculture we created for ourselves
to
enjoy, and in the process have left the souls of men to the scavengers
of
satan who are having a field day leading the lost into eternal
damnation
while we sit in our $20 million buildings singing about going to
Heaven.
SHAME ON US AND GOD WILL JUDGE US!
One of the fastest growing cults today is Scientology. As I have
shared
with you in the past, cults and false religions are nothing new to the
time
we are living in. Man has been trying to find ways to fill that
void
created by his broken relationship with God since the very beginning.
You
don't go too many chapters into the Book of Genesis until you come to
the
story of the Tower of Babel. That story is literally about men who
decided
to create their own religion. The cults and false religions of this
world
are all traced back to the hearts and minds of men who lived in rebellion
to
God.
The Mormon cult came from the imagination of that pedophile murderer
Joe
Smith, another pedophile murderer Mohammed dreamed up what we know of
today
as Islam, Mary Baker Eddy created the Christian Science cult out of
her
blackened heart, and Charles Taze Russell created the Jehovah's
Witness
cult. Every cult and false religion can be traced back to a man who
lived
his life in rebellion to God and created the cult or false religion out
of
his imagination. The Truth, the Christian faith actually
started in the
Garden of Eden and comes directly from God Himself, the very God who
created
the heavens and earth and made man in His own image.
Scientology is a cult started by a science fiction writer named L.
Ron
Hubbard. In 1950, he wrote a book called Dianetics, a modern science
of
mental health that became very popular. His first book on Scientology
was
written in 1951 and the Scientology cult, one of mind control, was formed
in
1953. Jesus Christ is referred to by Hubbard simply as a
"legend." Man is
seen as an immortal being, called a Thetan, descending from a race of
uncreated omnipotent gods. Salvation is achieved thru a process
called
"auditing," where engrams (memories of past pain and unconsciousness
that
create energy blockage) are removed. Until all engrams are removed
man is
constantly going thru reincarnation.
I am always amused at people who reject the story of Christ and God's
simple
plan to redeem fallen man, yet buy into the wild theology of cults
like
Scientology. Christianity requires that you use your God-given
intelligence
to make the choice to accept Christ as your Savior based on reality.
Cults
like Scientology requires that you abandoned all intelligence and
blindly
believe wild stories based on no facts. I have to be honest with you,
I
will never have enough faith to believe the fantasies of Scientology,
but
many who are hurting and lost and looking to fill that spiritual void
in
their life will.
Scientology has always appealed to people in Hollywood. People like
Cruise,
Travolta, Alley, Presley are visible Scientologists. Sadly, these
people
have bought into a lie from the pits of hell, and like all who follow
this
lie, they will spend eternity separated from God if they do not turn
from
the lie of Scientology and to the Truth of God's Word. Scientology
appeals
to the Hollywood crowd as well as successful people for 3 reasons.
First,
like all people they are looking to fill that spiritual void only the God
of
the Bible can fill. Second, Scientology has a financial structure in
place
that basically allows you to be as god-like as you want depending on
the
amount of money you have. For those who are successful and can afford
it,
they are able to buy their god-status. Third, like all cults and
false
religions there is no personal accountability, no right and wrong.
You are
basically free to live your life however you want, decide for yourself
what
is right and wrong, and live without any consequences. This is
obviously
appealing to people since nobody likes to be confronted with that
nasty
word...sin.
Because of their fame, people like Cruise, Travolta, and other
well-known
Scientologists will always have the false hope merchants like Oprah there
to
give them a forum to encourage others to join their cult. Not
surprising,
the other night O'Reilly gave the Scientologists a platform on his
program
to share their lies with people. Now you see why I am so passionate
about
what we do each day here on the Internet and about expanding the reach
of
the Liveprayer TV program. Even though Clearwater, Florida is the
secondary
headquarters to the Scientology cult (Los Angles is their primary
headquarters), I have used my program often to BLAST this cult and
expose
them for what they are. Unlike Oprah and O'Reilly who give them a
forum to
lead people into their deception, I warn people of this cult and explain
to
them not only why it is a lie from satan, but that following this lie
will
lead them into everlasting damnation.
I love you and care about you so much. This Devotional today is to
warn
people of the hideous cult of Scientology birthed out of the depraved
mind
of L. Ron Hubbard and to challenge the church that we are in a war for
the
eternal souls of men and women. Scientology is NOT some
harmless
organization out to help people, but it is a tool of satan that is
leading
its followers into everlasting darkness and eternal separation from
God.
Pray for Tom Cruise, John Travolta, Kirstie Alley, Priscilla Presley,
and
all of those who follow this cult. Unless they turn from the lie
of
Scientology and to the Truth of God's Word, the moment they die they will
be
eternally lost for their rejection of Jesus Christ.
I pray that you will not neglect the commandment we have from our Lord
to
share the hope and love of Christ and the Truth of His Word with those
you
meet along your journey. The Lord didn't sit in a church and wait
for
people to come to Him, HE WENT TO THEM! Christ is our example and we
need
to not only follow His example but His words to, "Go out into the
highways
and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled."
(Luke
14:23 KJV)
This is not complicated. We have the better percentage of two
full
generations of people out there who have never been to church, they
are
living their lives void of Christ and His Truth. We know they have
a
spiritual void that at some point they will try to fill. That is why
now
more than ever we need to be bold and aggressive in letting people know
that
there is only ONE TRUTH in this world, there is only ONE ANSWER for
their
problems, and there is only ONE WAY to fill that void in their
life...FAITH
IN JESUS CHRIST!
God's desire is that none be lost, that all come to repentance. May
that
become our desire as well. Those who follow cults like Scientology
are on a
conveyor belt to hell. Let us bring them the Truth of God's Word and
the
hope and love of Christ so that they can get off before it is too late
and
get on the conveyor belt to HEAVEN!!!
In His love and service,
Your friend and brother in Christ,
Bill Keller
