The Six Harsh Warnings Jesus Gave to Pastors and Ministers

By Jason Charles on 7/8/2020 (4 years 136 days ago)

Wake the Church | I am always deeply moved and prefer the pure red letters of Christ when reading the Gospel narratives. The narratives transport me; I envision the situations he was confronted with, and seeing his response yields so much Truth. When reading these narratives, I am in constant realization that Jesus was truly the most dynamic leader the world has ever known or seen. Jesus gave strength to the cowardly, mercy to the sinful, rebuked the proud, exemplified leadership, always deferred exaltation toward God and willingly submitted to God’s justice and plan of salvation at the cross. Jesus is truly a remarkable testimony; His one life has changed billions of lives and the world has been better off because it....

Only Saved Lives Matter

By Jason Charles on 6/24/2020 (4 years 150 days ago)

Wake the Church | The only lives that matter are those that believe on the Son of God, this according to the greatest prophet to ever preach, John the Baptist. John, preached Jesus to a wilderness congregation full of Roman soldiers, and the political and spiritual elite of his day saying,...

The Pandemic Exposed the Real God of the 501c3 Church

By Jason Charles on 4/22/2020 (4 years 213 days ago)

I can’t help, but look at this COVID-19 plandemic in terms of divine judgment, simply because of how it has exposed the failings of the church. The Apostle Peter rightly declared that God’s judgment will always fall first on the Christians and church because they are the standard bearers of God’s truth in the world. If there is no Truth and darkness in the world, pastors and Christians only have themselves to blame.“For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?” 1 Peter 4:17-18 I would have to say, on a whole I am deeply ashamed of how the body of believers the world over handled this New...

Repelling the Attack on the Temple of God & Liberty Fellowship

By Jason Charles on 4/15/2020 (4 years 220 days ago)

During this COVID emergency churches around the nation are being attacked for assembling together as commanded in scripture, and now the church in which I personally attend and minister at has been the subject of a hit-piece over our Easter Sunday service this last weekend by Montana NPR,“Public health officials say social distancing orders are needed to slow the spread of the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, which has no known cure or vaccine.Baldwin views the restrictions as an attempt by the government to infringe upon his congregation’s freedoms. That message is gaining much more traction online with the help of a Kalispell physician.In a Youtube video from early April viewed more than 600,000 times, Dr. Annie Bukacek walks up to the podium wearing a white lab coat with a pink...

The Five Pillars of the Christian Faith

By Jason Charles on 2/19/2020 (4 years 276 days ago)

Faith as a concept is often ridiculed by the secular world, and has many asking how or why would anyone believe in something unseen and intangible?Answering this, I would say they have their definition of faith wrong, and that the evidence of the Christian faith hardly goes unseen. Christianity has shaped our world like nothing else in history. This is an undisputable fact, and while many want to simply remain in their skepticism; it would be wise to peer across the last two thousand years and recognize that the body of knowledge pertaining to the Christian faith has been the most scrutinized body of work on earth, and rightfully so, simply because the magnitude of the claims made by Jesus Christ compel analysis. The Substance of FaithThe Bible defines faith as the “substance of things...

Reading the Bible with New Eyes

By Jason Charles on 12/18/2019 (4 years 339 days ago)

“Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.” Psalms 119:18In this poetic verse, King David the Psalmist and man after God’s own heart asks that his eyes be opened to the wondrous things of scripture. Indicating that even he, God’s anointed failed to grasp the fullness of God’s Law. This should be a very humbling thought for anyone, who like David, yearns to know and understand the nature of creation and our Creator. If David perceived himself as clouded in His understanding of scripture, how can we ever begin to think that we can render the Bibles content any better?I think, maybe this is where we have collectively lost sight of God’s will and desire for us as humans. Instead of asking for God to personally open our eyes to every Truth of scripture no matter how...

Trump, Kanye and the Void in Christian Discernment

By Jason Charles on 10/30/2019 (5 years 23 days ago)

The lack of Christian discernment among the American church today truly rivals that of the Christians in Nazi Germany, or the protestant persecution under Dark Age Romanism. Those trapped inside these hellacious religious systems became increasingly blind to Truth, and the blatant errors associated with their persistent adherence to popular dogma.Why and how Christians in Nazi Germany could get suckered into Nazism or how they could get bamboozled into Catholicism, or any perversion of Christianity comes down to one thing, ignorance of the plain words of the Bible.Nothing exemplifies this reality more so than the unbelievable Christian support for Donald Trump and the nauseating Christian acceptance of superstar convert, Kanye West. These two have been bubbling-cauldrons of moral...

Refuting the Talmudic Arguments Against Jesus as the Jewish Messiah

By Jason Charles on 10/2/2019 (5 years 51 days ago)

Outside of salvation by Grace, through faith in Jesus Christ alone, all other religions and philosophies are false philosophies. So, in light of this Biblical Truth, I often deal with false doctrines and philosophies, and one such false doctrine is that of Talmudic Judaism. Rejecting the Real MessiahChristians often stand back and wonder how Jews fail to see Jesus as a complete fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies concerning the Messiah?The answer is, they reject Jesus on the basis of the Talmudic instructions given them by their Rabbi. The refutation often breaks down to four main points, sourced below, The diminution of the role of Messiah in Scripture Narrowly define the Messiah as a descendant of David who unites nations under God as universal King Diminish the genealogies of Jesus...

Evangelicals Have Themselves to Blame for the Political Divide in the U.S.

By Jason Charles on 8/21/2019 (5 years 93 days ago)

Who’s to blame for these Divided States of America? Let’s explore,No matter what generational age group you talk to, the consensus from all respondents suggest this country is dangerously divided along political lines and hot-button issues.“The United States are not so united. A growing body of research points to a deep disunity between Democrats and Republicans in policy preferences, values, and tolerance of the other side’s views. As early as 2010, social scientists conducted surveys that revealed that nearly half of all Republicans would be “somewhat or very unhappy” if their child married a Democrat and nearly one-third of surveyed Democrats had a similar response. These results represented an approximately 1,000 percent increase from the level of people reporting this view in the...

Modern Israel: The Common Denominator Behind All False Gospels

By Jason Charles on 7/31/2019 (5 years 114 days ago)

As I have studied the Bible, and worked to rightly apply that understanding, I have found that a true rendering of the Gospel places total emphasis on Jesus as our perfect teacher, risen savior and triune person of the Godhead; while false gospels almost always place an emphasis on Judaized forms of religion and even outright bastardization of Christianity with Judaism.“I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you...

American Pastors Refuse to Preach Jesus in His Entirety

By Jason Charles on 7/10/2019 (5 years 135 days ago)

 When pastors in today’s modern churches are backed into the corner on the topic of preaching hard against the societal and political sins of our nation you will usually hear the same excuse,“These topics are all important, but I am just called to preach Jesus and the Gospel, I haven’t been called to preach on politics.” There is one huge flaw in this reasoning, and it actually blasphemes the person and power of who Jesus is in totality.Jesus is not just the man we read about in the Gospel narratives. No, pastors that make this excuse, limit Jesus to the mere 33 years of His physical ministry, death and resurrection. If you Just preach the Gospel stories, making endless ear tickling analogies on Love every Sunday, you fail to teach the real Jesus of scripture and instead present a mirage...

The Apostle Paul as the Great Whistleblower Against the Jewish Religion

By Jason Charles on 7/3/2019 (5 years 142 days ago)

 When atheists argue against the historicity of the Bible they almost always discount the Bible as a single historic source and witness to the times of Christ. Always demanding the mythical, “extra-biblical sources.” This is a tactic used by secularists to discredit the historical narrative themselves. Obscuring the science by saying the New Testament works are mere lies among friends, lies that went viral is all.This is a complete misapplication of scientific scrutiny. Every text in antiquity holds or fails upon its own merits. And with over 2000 years of the highest levels of scholarship applied to the writings of the New Testament the evidence is clear, the Gospel narratives have withstood the test of time. Moving the goal post for the New Testament doesn’t work, as apologist Josh...

Franklin Graham and the Fake Trump Inspired American Revival

By Jason Charles on 6/5/2019 (5 years 170 days ago)

This last week Franklin Graham and a gaggle of Christian Zionists are attempting to create a revivalist movement centralized around the personage and Presidency of Donald Trump. Here is the Christian Post reporting on Graham’s announcement,“Evangelist Franklin Graham announced a "special day of prayer" to ask God to protect President Donald Trump from his political foes."If [Trump] succeeds, we all benefit," Graham proclaimed in a video posted to social media. "But if his enemies are allowed to destroy him, and pull down the presidency, it will hurt our entire nation.…The statement includes a number of prominent signers, such as former Congresswoman Michele Bachmann; Gary Bauer, president of American Values; David Barton, president of Wallbuilders; Trump spiritual adviser Pastor Paula...

The Evils of the Institutionalized Church

By Jason Charles on 4/10/2019 (5 years 226 days ago)

It is often heard that the devil’s greatest trick is convincing the world that he doesn’t exist. I would disagree, and instead advise that the greatest trick the devil has ever pulled is the creation of an institutionalized church. The Curse of InstitutionalizationA newly released Barna Poll suggest that a whopping 64% of pastors are afraid to speak out on social issues such as abortion. Faithwire reporting on these findings quotes the Barna Research saying,“The pressure for leaders, and especially faith leaders, to satisfy everyone on all sides and to avoid offense is very real today, especially in the digital era,” said Roxanne Stone, editor-in-chief of Barna. “The public nature of social media only increases the stakes.”The majority of the push and pull pastors feel is coming from...

Moral Failings of the U.S. Causing Worldwide Christian Persecution

By Jason Charles on 4/3/2019 (5 years 233 days ago)

Persecution against Christians is reaching historic proportions. We have to ask why is it the world over, Christians are experiencing so much tribulation and attack? The reason might surprise you.In January, Open Doors, an organization specializing in the study of Christian persecution released a truly eye-opening study showing an alarming rise in Christian persecution the world over,“The number of Christians suffering high to extremely high persecution is 14 percent more in 2019, Open Doors reported, counting 245 million individuals globally.Persecution driven by Islamic extremism and Communist authoritarianism in the world’s two most populous countries, India and China, marked the increase, Open Doors said in releasing its 2019 World Watch List of the 50 countries with the most extreme...
