My husband and I are seeking a gospel of truth and not a watered down version. We have spent 20 years in a church where we didn’t fit in because of tongues but everything else seemed true and we didn’t think we would go to hell for not speaking in tongues. We stayed and were very active in the ministry, cleaning,cooking, teaching etc. We felt like we were doing what God wanted us to do. Then things began to change, sunday night services stopped and small groups started, we were asked to attend the training class for leading a small group, we went to one, we realized after opening the folder that the format came from Saddleback Church led by Rick Warren. We had been involved in a bible study a couple years prior to that and it never phased me one way or the other until someone brought some interesting facts to light about the Purpose Driven Life, I did my own researh and was shocked at what I discovered. I wanted no part of it so I stepped down from the class and my husband took the information to our Pastor who kept it to share with the associate pastor and said he’d get back with us. He never did and that was fine but the changes kept coming. The message changed, the consequences of sin were no longer preached and sin was rampart, homosexuality, sex outside of marriage, etc. the church got a makeover, everything changed and we felt our spiritual light being snuffed out. and after much prayer and lots of tears we left. We are still seeking a church that believes the whole gospel of Christ and who is not willing to compromise in any areas because of being a part of a religeous organization.
Good for you Mrs. Powers for you and your husbands desire to be in a biblical church that preaches about the need for repentance, the sinful depravity of mankind, the need for forgiveness, the blood of the Lamb, Jesus as the only way, not compromising with sins that God condemns. Good for you. Wish you were near our church for that is our message each and every Sunday; Bible preaching, verse by verse. If you let me know in what city/town you live in, perhaps I can find a solid church near your location. Thank you for your stand for truth and your comment.
We live in Jacksonville,Florida about 40 minutes from the Georgia/Florida line. We drive we have been driving 25 miles to the church we are visiting now, it too is of the pentecostal denomination, although we don’t speak in tongues or feel that we should because we don’t, we feel if God wanted us to He would surely make it happen as we asked for it. But aside from that this church preaches against sin, and all truth. But our desire is to be where God wants us, so if you know of any place we would be very greatful. Thank you
I know that there are several Southern Baptist churches in your area. These are rock-solid as far as I know.

Nice article Dr. Williams,
I personally believe Babylon, the harlot, based upon the evidence(Scriptures), to be America and specifically New York city with the Libertas(Statue of liberty) as the harlot’s symbol. I could be wrong of course.
If Pastor Jack allows here is a great list of Scriptures from the OT and NT that lend weight to this argument of America being Babylon compiled by Sherry Shriner:

All Prophecy is by, to & will be fulfilled by the Hebrews.Rev 16;6& 17;6 & 18;24 tell you it has the blood of the prophets ,saints & Jesus’s witnesses on it. That makes the Harlot JERUSALEM which sits on the crimson beast [because of the blood – especially God’s Messiah Son- on it. Have eyes to see & ears to hear God’s word. As a Jew it is abundantly clear to me. The Jews rule the World’s Reserve Banks & Trade [dominion] & have one man who fulfills ALL prophecy as the man of perdition. His name adds to 666 in Hebrew also & has marked more than 1/2 the world with his Teva Biotec r/hand marking system …Maranatha Shalom.
Hello friend. No sir, it is not true that the Jews rule the world’s reserve banks and trade. After investigation through different sources, what you have wrote about the Jews is false.
I tend to agree with Dr. Williams: the end-time Babylon is likely the UN-NewWorldOrder, in view of similarity with Tower of Babel and old Babylonian empire.
What unites all nations under NWO is hatred for Christian faith and commandments. The irrational convergence towards NWO points to evil spiritual forces (the old serpent controls the world system). Psalm 2: “Why do the nations rage, And the people plot a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, And the rulers take counsel together, Against the Lord and against His Anointed.”
Our only hope is to pray to the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
Well said Sorin. Thank you.
