The Evils of New Evangelicalism

by David J. Stewart
 

The biggest problem with New (or "Neo") Evangelicalism is compromise.  For fear of being labeled as a "nut," or a "fanatic," most professed men of God won't speak the whole truth.  There are preachers all across America every Sunday who preach watered-down, wishy-washy sermonettes.  They are afraid to speak the TRUTH.  Jesus spoke the truth uncompromisingly and without apology.  As a result, many people said that Jesus was crazy, "And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him?" -John 10:20.  Likewise, the Apostle Paul made enemies by preaching the truth, "Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?" -Galatians 4:16.

In a mockery of true Biblical preaching, the Walt Disney movie Pollyanna portrays a hardliner Biblical preacher as being bought off by a rich woman in the church.  The movie gives the viewer the impression that harsh preaching which steps on people's toes is a bad thing.  Towards the end of the movie, the preacher repents of his anger and starts preaching about love, love, love.  As far as I'm concerned, Pollyanna is straight from Hell, an evil mockery of the type of preaching that America desperately needs today more than ever.  We need to have our toes stepped on.  In fact, we need to have our hides whipped.  The ONLY hope for America is old-fashioned Biblical preaching.  America needs for preachers once again to hit the pulpit, foam at the mouth, and get really mad about sin. 
 

What is New Evangelicalism? 

Often called "Neo Evangelicalism," it is compromise!  It is moving to the left (sin), instead of to the right (righteousness).  It is straddling the fence, refusing to choose sides.  God said that He wants us to be hot or cold, "I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.  So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth" -Revelation 3:15,16.  In short, New Evangelicalism is vomit.  That is what God calls it!  New Evangelicalism is the compromise within the church which has caused many believers to move farther away from Biblical standards.  The root of this evil is a LACK OF CHRIST-HONORING PREACHING FROM AMERICA'S PULPITS.  This compromise has adversely affected the church.  As a result, we are seeing increasing compromise and even apostasy in America's churches.

It's better to be divided over truth, than to be united by error!

New Evangelicalism is sinful compromise!  It corrupts everything that is good.
 

Here are some of the areas in our churches which have been CORRUPTED by New Evangelicalism:

1.  The Preacher.  New Evangelicalism is definitely ecumenical in nature.  Satan needs to consolidate the world's religions into ONE in order for him to quickly gain power over the minds of the masses when the antichrist appears.  Ecumenism is the vehicle which Satan is using to accomplish a one-world religion.  Ecumenism sounds like a noble idea, setting aside our differences to unequally yoke together with unbelievers.  However, the Word of God condemns such unequal yokes, "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?...Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you" -2nd Corinthians 6:14,17.  That said, it was a sin for Billy Graham to yoke together with the Roman Catholics.  It was a sin for Jerry Falwell to yoke together with Sun Myung Moon and Benny Hinn.  Falwell accepted $3,500,000 from Sun Myung Moon.  I wouldn't accept a penny from such a sex-degenerate pervert as Moon.  We're supposed to expose evil, not benefit from it, "And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them" -Ephesians 5:11.  Falwell is Neo Evangelical.

Recently, a Southern Baptist church in Tennessee called a lesbian minister to be their pastor.  This is the work of New Evangelicalism, the work of darkness.

Most pulpits are deader than a funeral parlor.  America's pulpits need more Billy Sundays!  The reason why America's citizens aren't excited about the truth is because it's preachers aren't excited about the truth.  The truth makes things happen.  The early church in Acts saw thousands of people saved, but they also saw their fellow brethren executed by the government and angry mobs.  The truth makes things happen.  Most churches are dead because they are not proclaiming the truth outside of it's thick walls.

2. The Word of God.  Satan has used New Evangelicalism to corrupt the Bible.  There have been over 200 new translations in the past thirty years alone.  There's nothing wrong with the old 1611 King James Bible.  On the contrary, the new bibles which Satan has given us are straight from Hell.  The New International Version (NIV) is one of the worst.  The same parent company which publishes the NIV (Harper Collins) also publishes the Satanic Bible.  How can good fruit come from a corrupt tree? (Matthew 7:17,18).  Sadly, most believer are still IGNORANT of Satan's devices.  Very few believer love the Lord nowadays.  How could any professed Christian who loves the Lord Jesus Christ defend an piece of trash like the New International Version?  The NIV removed "Jesus" in 35 places from the New Testament.  The NIV removed the word "begotten" from John 3:16, but God has many sons (1st John 3:1).  So that makes the NIV heresy!  In every Scripture where the King James Bible says someone "worshipped" Jesus, the NIV changed it to a weaker "knelt."  Anyone can kneel before a king, but ONLY God is to be worshipped.  Do you see how the NIV attacks the deity of Christ?  Look at 1st Timothy 3:16 and Philippians 2:6.  The NIV even removed the "love of God" from 1st John 3:16.

3. The Saints.  It is shocking that so many professed Christians don't see the harm of Harry Potter's witchcraft.  I didn't realize just how far gone America was until I saw this great evil.  Even Christianity Today magazine endorses Harry Potter.  This is sinful because witchcraft is sinful (1st Samuel 15:23).  How could any professed Christian organization endorse something so sinful as witchcraft?  I wrote Christianity Today to complain, they defended themselves by saying that they had only given Harry Potter "positive reviews" and weren't endorsing the movie.  That's about as lame as the Catholics saying they don't worship Mary.  Professed Christians all across America have fallen into the evils of Harry Potter.  Children's minds are being DESENSITIZED to the wickedness of witchcraft.  Satan's work is to use New Evangelicalism to desensitize Christians concerning sin, false doctrine, and worldliness.  The fact that so many believers are indifferent concerning Harry Potter is a clear indication of the extent to which New Evangelicalism has corrupted our churches.  The same is true concerning all the perverted Bibles revisions. 

It couldn't be clearly to the believer who is AWAKE to righteousness that President George W. Bush is an evil imposter, masquerading as a Christian.  FREE Real Video: Bush Family Fortunes.  Yet, most believers think highly of Mr. Bush.  Little do they realize that Bush was an accomplice to 911.  The FACT that Bush signed Presidential Directive w199i before 9-11 is disturbing.  The FACT that NORAD was told to stand down on the morning of 9-11 by Vice President Dick Cheney is disturbing.  The FACT that WTC 7 imploded to the ground in seconds (even though no plane struck it) is disturbing.  The FACT that Bush sat idle for five minutes on 9-11 after being informed that America was under attack is disturbing.  See, 911 the Road to Tyranny.  The average believer that I speak to immediately gets upset, ready to fight for their president, but they do so foolishly and ignorantly.  God NEVER told us not to stand up against thieves, liars, child-molesters, con artists, tyrants, betrayers, and mass murderers in government!!!  See Evils in Government.  In fact, it is our Bill of Rights.  Yet, Satan has masterfully brainwashed the average Christian into believing a LIE.  2nd Thessalonians speaks of those who foolishly received not the "love of the truth."  Sadly, most professed Christians don't care about the truth either.  I fear most of them aren't really saved.  They have Churchianity without Christianity, religion without TRUTH!  Does the truth mean anything to you?  Jesus said that you cannot worship God except in TRUTH (John 4:24).  The TRUTH is important; in fact, it is everything.

Neo Evangelicalism has produced a generation of believers who aren't willing to defend the blood atonement of Christ, who aren't willing to defend the King James Bible, who aren't willing to go soul-winning, who aren't willing to preach against sin by name, who aren't willing to be considered a "fanatic" for Jesus, who aren't willing to suffer persecution for the cause of Christ, who don't care about truth.

4. Music.  The type of music which many believers are listening to nowadays is deplorable.  Often labeled as "Christian rock," there is no such animal.  To call Devilish music "Christian" is wrong.  It is like saying there is such a thing as "Christian adultery" or "Christian idolatry."  Much of the "Christian" music which believers are listening to nowadays is sensual, possess a rock-n-roll beat, is composed of jibber-jabber lyrics, and is sang by worldly compromisers.  Some of the most ungodly heathens are producing "Christian" music.  No Christian should ever listen to music sang by any professed believer who lives in open adultery (like Amy Grant or Sandi Patty).  I am not being judgmental, I am just saying that there is something very wrong when professed Christians have so little hatred for sin that they can enjoy music sang by rebels against God.  It's bad enough that the radio-waves are filled at Christmastime with homosexuals like Elton John and whores like Dolly Parton singing Christmas songs.  It's even worse when professed Christians such as TobyMac dress, sing and act like street punks to sell "Christian" music.  God pukes on such hypocrisy.  In lieu of such compromise in the music industry, it is not surprising that Professed Christian, Johnny Cash, actually recorded a song on his album written by a known Satanist.

Don't be deceived my friend, Neo Evangelicalism is straight from Hell.  The Truth is intolerant.  The Word of God is Truth (John 17:17).  If you don't like the plain teachings of the Word of God, then that is your problem.  I recently read a handout concerning better listening skills.  One of the suggestions said that we should "never express our views as if we know we are right."  I laughed at such a stupid teaching.  Listen friend, if you sincerely believe that you are 100% correct, then you are a coward if you don't defend your belief.  A man who stands for nothing will fall for anything.  I may disagree with you, but I can respect a person who stands their ground.  If I don't believe in freedom of speech for those whom I despise, then I don't believe in freedom of speech at all.  It's tragic that the homosexual community is marching up and down America's streets parading their wickedness, while professed Christians are sitting comfortably in their churches playing religion.  I think Dwight L. Moody said it best...

"Let's stop fiddling with religion and bring this lost world to Christ."
