Apostasy - Desertion of the faith

1 Tim 4:1

2 Tim 4:3-4

An example of apostasy from the Bible is "falling away" (2Th 2:3) in the Laodicean church age we are in (Rev 3:14-ff)

Religious works. v.15a “I know thy works”

No fire. v.15b

Makes God sick. v.16

What people have. v.17a “increased with goods”

What people are. v.17b “wretched…blind and naked”

Due to this apostasy we are seeing STRANGERS in God’s church.

I. Strange Men.

Disqualified preachers.

Disqualified deacons.

II. Strange Music.

Southern gospel - country

Contemporary - dance

III. Strange Ministries.

Para church.

Part church.

IV. Strange Manuscripts.

False scripture

False scholars (attachment on pneuma)

Conclusion:

Are you a stranger? Be saved today and be part of God’s Family. Preached at Victory Baptist Church 5/28/08
