About the Author and about this weblog
I have unashamedly prepared this website specifically for those people in our western culture today that would name themselves by the name of the Christ, and place their belief in His salvation.
As a Western Christian myself, I am convinced that we are entrenched in a mainstream Christian culture that is very much “lukewarm”, and as others have said before me “asleep in the light” This state could well be compared to the state of the foolish virgins in Christs’ parable, who believing they were safe, took their ease, rested, only to realise when it was too late that the door to the wedding celebration was closed to them.
Preparing this website entails some concerns on the part of the author. I have myself warned believers at times to take care what they read and listen to. The great abundance of audio, written material and literature available to the average western Christian today carries with it a concern, for as Christ said “ a little leaven, leavens the whole lump” and again “beware the leaven of the pharicees”
It is this authors view that there is much leaven in our Christian teaching today. Most of it eminating from the popular biblical teachers in the United States.
I would ask anyone who reads or listens to the material on this site to prayerfully consider it’s content. Ask the Holy Spirit to confirm and direct your understanding and your ways. This perhaps offers the author some form of escape, should I stand before the Lord on that day and have been found in error.
This information comes to you with what some may say is an overly critical viewpoint, perhaps this is true, but I assure you that I have done my best to offer it in the Spirit of Grace and without condemnation.
I do believe with all of my heart that what I share has been laid upon me by the Spirit of God, with the intent that it is His desire to see His people walking in the fullness of their calling and not in ignorance. Especially in this day in which we live, for as the writer of Timothy said of the latter days, “Perilous times will come”
Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His Glory, with exceeding joy, To God our saviour, who alone is wise, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever. Amen. Jude 24,25.
Thank you for taking the time to write what God has placed on your heart. I have to say that I agree with everything you have written here. The state of the lukewarm church and the greedy self centered materialistic society in which we live has really become apparent to me in recent months. Even more troubling is coming to the realization that I have allowed myself and my family to become enslaved to it. I am thankful that the Lord is opening my eyes to what is really going on around me and in my own life. The question then becomes, how does one break free? From listening to one of your You Tube videos it sounds as if you had a similar turning point in your life. Please pray for me and my family.
Your friend in Christ,
J.D.

REPLY FROM Fleethewrath. Thanks JD. Hope I’ve been able to bless you. Indeed this is the question, How does one break free?
In the same way Bunyan wrote about his character Christian in the novel Pilgrims progress, for us it is also a life journey.
I am confident that if we are willing to embrace His word in our life, and I mean all of it, not just the nice bits, but the costly bits also, He is able to lead us.
In Christ,
FTW

I agree with this post. It has been inspired by the Holy Spirit as it is Biblical.
