APOSTLES OF UNBELIEF
By Ken Silva pastor-teacher on Feb 20, 2008 in Devotions
Many today think the teachings of leaders in the emerging church such as Brian McLaren and his disciple Rob Bell are something new. Well, think again. The fact is that this Emergent Church rebellion against the authority of God’s Word is the spiritual progeny of the original Cult of Liberal Theology.
And the words below from Charles Spurgeon were spoken some one-hundred fifty years ago; but, they ring just as true today condemning those who dare teach the Lord’s precious and chosen people—from within Christ’s Church—to “embrace the mystery,” when instead God has so plainly spoken:
Beloved, your risen Lord wants you to be happy. When He was here on earth, He said, “Let not your hearts be troubled”: He says just the same to you today. He takes no delight in the distresses of His people. He loves you to believe in Him and be at rest.
Find if you can, beloved, one occasion in which Jesus inculcated doubt or bade men to dwell in uncertainty. The apostles of unbelief are everywhere today, and they imagine that they are doing God a service by spreading what they call “honest doubt.” This is death to all joy! Poison to all peace! The Savior did not so. He would have them take extraordinary measure to get rid of their doubt.
And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.
(Hebrews 11:6)
