Churches Closing Fast

|
| Another gospel is being preached today. | |
| The church has got to get. | |
| I couldn't believe it when Pastor was just with us yesterday. | |
| Jensen was here with us. | |
| And he was telling us, pastors, just like Bishop Ron Webb told us, preachers are leaving their pulpits by the thousands. | |
| They're giving up. | |
| And we're in these difficult, difficult times. | |
| Listen to this headline that goes along with what you're saying. | |
| This according to Fox News, American churches closing faster than new ones can open. | |
| Church doors still closing. | |
| Churches are closing at a record pace in the U.S. as less than 50% of Americans are saying they are members of a church. | |
| Again, you're seeing this, and it doesn't even necessarily mean that religion is dying. | |
| It just means that churches, that means pastors are walking away from their role. | |
| There are less people believing God today than 50 years ago. | |
| That's correct. | |
| That's very, very much so. | |
| So here's a picture of today: 2 Timothy 3:1. | |
| This know also that in the last days, Paris times shall come. | |
| For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedience to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, truce breakers, false accusers, incontinent. | |
| That means without control. | |
| Fierce, despised of those that are good, traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God. | |
| Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof. | |
| Therefore, from such, turn away. | |
| So I believe this white horse is riding. | |
| I believe it's out totally. | |
| This white horse is the confusion we see in America, the whole world. | |
| This horse is riding over the world. | |
| Just people are turning their backs on God. | |
| The love of many has waxed cold. | |
| So I believe this white horse is above all of them, at least, I know, is riding harder than the rest, I think. | |
| Absolutely. | |
| And the rest are beginning to write already. | |
| The power of life and death is in the tongue. | |
| And so this white horse is the tongue. | |
| It's really the power of the tongue. | |
| It speaks. | |
| And people speaking against God, people speaking against the things of God. | |
| And that's happening in politics today. | |
| And God's not pleased. | |
| God is going to send judgment. | |
| And I believe judgment is about to begin. | |
| So then let's go on. | |
| So the white horse we know is riding. | |
| Matthew 24, 4 says, And Jesus answered and said to them, Take heed that no man deceive you, for many shall come in my name saying, I am Christ, the Messiah, and shall deceive many. | |
| They wouldn't, why would they say, they say they are the Christ, the Messiah. | |
| Deception literally comes from the church. | |
| Church is turning her back on the power of the word. | |
| They're rewriting the Bible. | |
| They're taking half the Bible out now. | |
| So many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, had we not prophesied in thy name? | |
| In thy name have we not cast out devils? | |
| In thy name done many wonderful works. | |
| And then will I profess unto them, this is Jesus speaking, I never knew you. | |
| Depart from me, you that work iniquity. | |
