I have prayed the Hail Mary, thousands of times. I can remember praying that prayer at Roman Catholic wakes and funerals, hoping that the person who died would not suffer too long in Purgatory. I would hope that Mary would remember me at the time of my own death. Jesus was not even part of the equation in my prayers to Mary. She was the one who I called upon, and she was the one that the Catholic Priests taught me to call upon at the hour of my death.
Many years later, I came to know the real Jesus Christ, and I realized and understood that Jesus was all that I ever needed. When I was born again of the Spirit of the living God, I knew that the real Mary never even heard one of my thousands of “Hail Mary” prayers. I can remember sitting at my kitchen table, when the Lord gave me a mental picture of all the ceremonies that I had attended as a Roman Catholic, along with all the pomp and circumstance that goes with it, and the Lord flooded my heart with His joy. He showed me that all of the ceremony and pomp, was not necessary, but that SALVATION was by SIMPLE FAITH in HIM, and it was FREE! The Lord showed me in such a sweet way, that He was all I needed, that He was the one that saved my soul. I was truly amazed at His mercy toward me, and I knew that He truly did forgive me of my sins. Folks, that is the salvation of Jesus Christ, and it is real!
Let the REDEEMED of the LORD say so, whom he hath REDEEMED from the hand of the enemy; (Psalms 107:2)
True believers in Jesus Christ, know that they have been REDEEMED by theBLOOD of Jesus Christ, and we can ’say so!’ The people of ‘the world’ make no bones about praising their idols. You see them at the baseball and football games with their shaved heads, with the Team insignia carved out, and you see them with their painted bodies with the team colors, but if you speak about Jesus, you become a ‘nut’ to them! The world will try to keep the Christian testimony quiet and it happens in a very slow and seductive manner. The people in the world, reward their ‘own’ with their ‘Emmys, Grammys, Oscars and their respective Hall of Fames.’ But true believers are numbered among those who can say, ‘I have been redeemed of the Lord’ and I know that I am on my way to Heaven. We should not be ashamed to ’say so’ just because the world does not approve of Jesus Christ!
It does not matter if a persons name is Michael Jackson or Phil Jackson, Billy Mays or Willie Mays, Ed Mc Mahon or Thom McCann, because every person needs to be REDEEMED by the BLOOD of Jesus Christ, in order to be saved and end up in heaven. Have you been REDEEMED? If you have, then you can’say so’ according to the scriptures.
This is a short but important message which I posted on my blog at soulrefuge.wordpress.com
This is about the parable of the 10 Virgins, 5 of which were wise, and 5 of which were foolish. This message is for ALL true born again, Bible believing Christians.
This parable was the Lord’s last parable before He was slain for our sins.
The New Testament writers often quoted from the Old Testament (Covenant) scriptures to show that Jesus was indeed the very Christ (Messiah) . Jesus Himself stressed the importance of knowing the Word of God, when He spoke to His own disciples (followers). Here is an actual quote from Jesus Christ after He was killed and had already risen from the dead:
Then he (Jesus) said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory? And beginning at MOSES and ALL the PROPHETS, he expounded unto them in all the SCRIPTURES the things CONCERNING HIMSELF. (Luke 24:25-27)
This message is meant to encourage the believer in Jesus Christ, and a reminder that the Word of the Lord still stands TRUE today, and it shall come to pass. The Lord’s prophets were always mocked and persecuted BUT that did not stop the word of God from coming to pass. The Lord told Ezekiel this:
For I am the LORD: I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall come to pass; it shall be no more prolonged: for in your days, O rebellious house, will I say the word, and will perform it, saith the Lord GOD. (Ezekiel 12:25)
In this message I speak mainly out of 2nd Peter Chapter 3, where Peter comes forth with a PROPHETIC WORD that has not been FULFILLED as of yet, BUT it will come to pass just as the Word of God has always come to pass. Peter warned us about scoffers (mockers) coming in the “last days” (that includes these days also), where people would mock the coming of the Lord: “Where is the promise of His coming?” would be their charge against the TRUE BELIEVERS in Jesus Christ. Be encouraged my fellow believing CHRISTIAN, because God’s Word Shall Come To Pass!
This whole Christian walk is a walk of faith, and we can “see in the spirit” beyond the temporary things of this world. It is important that we keep our focus on the Lord Jesus Christ, and not allow the distractions of this life to unsettle us. We have a great hope in the Lord Jesus Christ, and this message is meant to encourage you all.
While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. (2 Corinthians 4:18)
A very important message based on the scripture verse below:
Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; (1 Timothy 4:1)
The Holy Spirit has warned us through the apostle Paul, that people would depart from the faith as a result of the false doctrines that come through very real demons. Do not take this warning lightly as many people do in these latter times. Tune in to this broadcast as I expound upon the scriptures.
There is a lot of talk about the “end of the world” in these modern times, and sometimes the whole idea of the “end of the world” is nothing but a joke to the unsaved. This is a teaching on the Parable of the Wheat and the Tares that was given by Jesus Christ, the creator of all things. Jesus mentions the “end of the world” in this parable and he speaks about the tares (workers of iniquity) being cast into a “furnace of fire.” Jesus Christ never minced words when he taught about such solemn topics like this. Tune in and be blessed.
There is absolutely no meaning in the Passover feast without Jesus Christ. If a person does not understand their need for the BLOOD atonement for their own sins, it is nothing but a meaningless tradition. The scriptures declare the TRUTH, and the Passover pointed to the ULTIMATE sacrifice of Jesus, the LAMB OF GOD, who taketh away the SIN of the world!
Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: (1 Corinthians 5:7)
The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. (John 1:29)
There is only one way to Heaven and that is through Jesus Christ. There is only one way for a person to be justified before a holy and righteous God, and that is by the blood that Jesus Christ shed for us on the cross. A person cannot enter the kingdom of God, unless they come through Jesus Christ. That is the very center of the Gospel message. A person may be very religious, but they may also be very lost. Have YOU been reconciled back to God yet?
He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. (John 3:36)
This is a message that is in sync with my previous message entitled “The Second Coming Of Jesus Christ.”In this message I prove through the use of the scriptures that the Lord’s second coming is also the DAY of judgment and the last day. As I shared in the previous message, we learn that the Lord will send His angels to gather the (believers) at His coming, and at that same time, He will judge all mankind.
The Lord told us that he would come in power, and glory, and with His angels, (Matthew 24:30-31, Mark 13:26-27) and He also said that when He came, He would reward every man, according to His works! (Matthew 16:27) It is very interesting to see that the book of Revelation talks about this same judgment according to works taking place at the end of the “1000 years” (Revelation 20:13) That judgment takes place when the Lord Jesus Christ comes to this earth for the second time. Tune in to this Podcast and escape the unbiblical DISPENSATIONAL teachings of this modern day.
What will it be like when the Lord Jesus Christ comes the second time? Will there be a secret invisible rapture seven years prior to His coming again? Will Jesus Christ be visible to the naked eye when He returns to this earth? Those are just a few of the questions that will be answered in this message. The Second Coming of Jesus Christ is an awesome event and it is also the day when God will judge all mankind. Tune in to this end times message and be blessed in Jesus Christ.
Is there anything more important than the value of your soul and where you are going to spend eternity? The Bible makes it clear that you will spend eternity in either Heaven or Hell. What are you depending upon to save your soul? Is it your own ‘good works’ and the ‘good life’ that you lead, or is it by faith in Jesus Christ? The Bible tells us that the ‘god of this world’ [the devil] blinds the minds of people ‘lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them’ [2 Corinthians 4:4] There is only ONE plan of salvation for all of the people in the world, and it is through faith in Jesus Christ. I encourage you to listen to this message and to make copies for your friends and loved ones also.
In the book of Revelation, the apostle John was rebuked by an angel after John fell down to worship him. Here is the passage from the scriptures: And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. (Revelation 19:10) The whole prophetic word of God will point you to the person of Jesus Christ. The angel from Heaven did not want any of the praise that was due only to the Lord Himself, and he did the right thing in rebuking John. Every single person who has been “born again” of the Spirit, will have the testimony of Jesus Christ in their hearts, and upon their lips. The prophecies from the Old Testament are a great faith builder as they also point to the person of Jesus Christ. Tune in to this Podcast and be blessed by the Word of God.
This is a short message [22 minutes long] that I shared one Sunday at a Rehab Center. I expound on the scriptures which are found in Luke 18:1-8, where the Lord Jesus Christ talks about the woman who pleaded with an unjust judge. Jesus contrasted the unjust judge with God Himself, who is waiting to reply to His own people and their requests. We serve a God who is willing to help us, and that is one of the main reasons that the Lord spoke this parable. The woman had faith, that even an unjust judge would answer her request, and he did. We must never give up or grow weary in our pleadings with the Lord, even when it looks totally hopeless in the natural realm.
Can it be proven through the scriptures that Jesus Christ is God? Tune in to this interesting study through God’s Word and find the answer to that question.
My Bible does not contain Daniel 13 and 14 but the Catholic Bible has those two chapters. Why? The Catholic Bible contains extra books which my own Bible does not contain. Why? Many people are unaware that the Roman Catholic Church places their own man made tradition on an equal level with the scriptures in the Bible. In this teaching I will talk about the sufficiency of scripture, for the true born again believer in Jesus Christ. Tune in to this Podcast to learn more about this interesting subject.
The Roman Catholic Church declares this regarding the sacrifice of the Mass: “…In this divine sacrifice which is celebrated in the Mass, the same Christ who offered himself once in a bloody manner on the altar of the cross is contained and is offered in an unbloody manner.” [Item #1367 Catholic Catechism of 1994] In this teaching, former Roman Catholic Bill White compares the Roman Catholic Tradition with the Biblical teaching regarding the finished work of Jesus Christ upon the cross. I encourage you to take the time to listen, and be enlightened regarding this most serious topic.
There are literally millions of people throughout the world who are devoted to the worship of Mary. I was one of them until I came to know Jesus Christ as the only mediator that I need. In this message I concentrate on refuting the traditional teachings that are taught by the Roman Catholic Church regarding the person of Mary. You will be hard pressed to find an Evangelical or “Protestant” church Pastor, who will speak about this topic, but as a former Roman Catholic I know that it is my spiritual duty to speak the truth in love, to those who are still ensnared. Be Blessed in Jesus Christ, and feel free to make copies of this or any other Podcast message for family and friends.
This is a most important parable as the Lord Jesus Christ is dealing with the people of Israel, and how they rejected the prophets through their history. The Lord Jesus Christ even prophesies of His own death in this parable. In the New Testament book of Acts, Stephen also rehearsed the history of Israel. He then confronted the Jewish leaders by saying this: “Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye. Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain them which shewed before of the coming of the Just One; of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers.” (Acts 7:51-52) What an incredible contrast is found in the modern day “church” as many “leaders” have made an absolute IDOL out of secular Israel [both land and people], and have watered down the message that was once delivered to the saints. Tune in to this message for Bible truth.
The apostle Paul told us that the Spirit declared that in the latter days some shall “depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils” [1 Timothy 4:1]. This is a message for the believer in Jesus Christ and an encouragement to know the Word of God for themselves. We are living in a time of great apostasy and it is of utmost importance that we know the scriptures so that we are able to discern the false teachings when they come along. Be Blessed as you listen to this important message.
What was the purpose of the cross of Jesus Christ? Did Jesus the Christ (Messiah) know that He would be killed, and that He would rise again on the third day? Is it really necessary that blood be shed for the atonement of our souls? Did the prophets of old speak about the death of Jesus Christ upon the cross? Tune in to this broadcast for the answers to those questions.
The apostle Paul encouraged his fellow believers to preach the word, in season and out of season, because he knew that the destructive power of false doctrine would lead many astray. Tune in to this message as I expound on the scriptures from 2 Timothy 4:1-8. Be Blessed in Jesus Christ.
The parable of the sower can be found in three different gospel accounts in the Bible. They are Matthew, Mark and Luke. This shows us the importance of this parable. Jesus told His disciples “…Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables? Tune in to this podcast and learn about the seed of God’s Word, and the reception of that same word in different hearts.
The word atheist decsribes a person that believes that there is no God. In this podcast I give you ten reasons why I am not an atheist. My reasons are based upon the Word of God, and I do not need to go into scientific arguments to prove my case. The Bible declares “The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God….” (Psalm 14:1). That word is as true today as it was back then when the Psalmist penned those words. Tune in to this podcast and learn why I am not an atheist.
This is a message about the duty of the watchman. The prophet Ezekiel was called to be a “watchman” unto the house of Israel, and to give them a warning from the Lord [Ezekiel 3:17-18]. Ezekiel was called to warn the wicked to turn from their wicked way. If Ezekiel did not warn the people of Israel, then their blood would have been upon his hands [Ezekiel 3:18]. The apostle Paul declared that he was “pure from the blood of all men” because he “shunned not” to declare the full counsel of God [Acts 20:26-27]. Listen in to this broadcast and learn about the responsibility of the watchman.
The apostle Paul was persecuted for preaching the “hope of Israel” whose name is Jesus Christ (Acts 28:20). The apostle Peter told the people of Israel that there is no other name under heaven whereby we must be saved (Acts 4:12). Jesus Christ is the only “hope of Israel” and he is the only hope for the world. Tune in to this broadcast and be blessed by the word of God.
The battle for the Christian is a spiritual battle, not a carnal one. The apostle Paul speaks the gospel truth as he teaches us about the “armour of God” from Ephesians 6:10-20. Be encouraged as I show you how we can stand against the devil in the power of the Lord.
The Holy Ghost is what every living person in the world truly needs. The Bible refers to the Holy Ghost as the Comforter because He will bring a peace and comfort to our hearts that the world cannot give to us. The Holy Ghost (pneuma) is also called the Holy Spirit (pneuma). It is the same person. The Holy Ghost is also called the Spirit of truth, and He will guide us into all truth. The Holy Ghost will not speak of Himself, but He will testify about Jesus and glorify Him. Tune in to this broadcast and be blessed by the Word of God.

Are you still living in the darkness of your own sin? There is only one person who can deliver a soul out of darkness and his name is Jesus Christ. He is the light of the world, and that includes every person and place on planet earth.
Forget about the “theory tale” of evolution and dig into the truth of God’s Word. The Bible shows us that God is our awesome creator and we have a responsibility toward Him, and we need to praise Him for His mighty works!
People such as the prophet Isaiah and the prophet Jeremiah, valued the Word of God. Jesus Christ Himself used the Word of God to rebuke the devil, preceding the scriptures with “It Is Written! Tune in to this podcast with speaker Bill White as he speaks on the authority of God’s Word
There are many people in this world who have heard about Jesus Christ, and yet many of those same people hold a false view about Him. In this broadcast I briefly touch on the beliefs of the Jehovah’s Witnesses, the Mormons, and the people of Islam. I then compare those beliefs with the truth that is found in the Bible. A false view about Jesus Christ will result in a false view about salvation also. Tune in to this broadcast and learn about the real Jesus Christ.
This is the AUDIO version of today’s (March 2, 2009) post over at my SOULREFUGE BLOG at Wordpress. In this particular BLOG POST, I answer the question that is found in the TITLE of this post. We must always remember that the truth of the scriptures, must be the determining factor, and NOT our own feelings, thoughts and ideas. Here is an excerpt from the post, which is an ACTUAL QUOTE from Jesus Christ himself, when he spoke to the Jewish religious people of his time:
Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life. (John 5:39-40)
” . . . Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached. And BLESSED IS HE, whosoever shall not be offended IN ME.” (Luke 7:22-23)
Billions of people throughout the centuries have been offended by the very name and person of Jesus Christ, and that still holds true even unto this present day. This is one of those point blank messages, where I make it very clear through the use of the scriptures, that Jesus Christ came at a certain prophesied point in time, and that there is not a different way of salvation outside of him. Tune in and be blessed.
Whenever people hear the words “Holy Land” their mind will automatically connect those words with the modern day State of Israel. Most people are very well aware that Israel is where the Lord Jesus Christ literally walked this earth almost 2000 years ago. In this message I make it very clear that there is absolutely NOTHING “Holy” about the present day State of Israel, which would distinguish it from any other place on earth. The Holy Spirit is the one who makes a person “Holy” and people all over the world who have been “born again” of the Spirit are made “Holy” but the land itself is not “Holy” at all.
But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, (Hebrews 12:22-23)
For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come. (Hebrews 13:14)
Entrance into the “Kingdom of God” is through the new birth. After a person has been truly “born again” of the Spirit, they soon realize that there is a SPIRITUAL BATTLE going on in the world for the souls of men and women. There are literally millions of people who would make the claim that they are Christians, but they have never been born again of the Spirit. I encourage you to tune in to this podcast as I go through many different scriptures, and cover much ground on this most important topic. Do not put it off, if at all possible!
That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. (John 3:6-7)
And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. And they overcame him by theBLOOD OF THE LAMB, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. (Revelation 12:10-11)
The Bible tells us that PEACE has been made “through the BLOOD of the cross” [Colossians 1:20] and that we have been redeemed with the“precious BLOOD of Christ.[1 Peter 1:19]” There is nothing more valuable than the BLOOD which was shed by Jesus Christ on the cross. Without thatBLOOD, a person CANNOT be REDEEMED, and they cannot have PEACEwith GOD. There is only ONE way to be JUSTIFIED in the sight of a Holy, and righteous GOD, and that is to be “JUSTIFIED BY HIS [JESUS] BLOOD”Tune in to this PODCAST and be blessed as we study the scriptures together.
In the book of Acts [Acts 13:13-52], there is a powerful passage of scripture, where the Jewish apostle Paul and others, are given the opportunity to preach the word of God, in a Jewish synanagogue. Paul took advantage of that opportunity, and quickly rehearsed the history of God’s dealings with the people of Israel, for the sole purpose of showing them that Jesus Christ, was the Saviour whom God had sent.
For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption: But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption. Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: (Acts 13:36-38)
Paul made it clear to the Jewish people and their rulers, that King David from Old Covenant times, died, and his body decayed, BUT it was not so with Jesus Christ. God raised up Jesus Christ from the dead, [with no decay or corruption]. Paul made it clear that Jesus was of the seed, [ a descendant] of David, and Jesus was the one whom the Old Covenant prophets spoke about. The only problem was that the Jewish rulers missed it when Jesus Christ came on the scene. Paul did not want his listeners to fall into that same trap, and miss the very ‘word of salvation’ which was meant for them!
Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent. For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him. (Acts 13:26-27)
The Jewish rulers of Paul’s time, and the Jewish rulers of our time still read the scriptures every Sabbath, and to this day, they still do not recognize the “voices of the prophets” which are read each week. The Jewish people and the rulers of that time, ended up FULFILLING the very scriptures, when they demanded that Jesus Christ be put to death. The message that I share here, is the same message that the apostle Paul spoke to the people all those years ago. Through Jesus Christ is preached the forgiveness of sins.Tune in to this message and be blessed.
There is only one Gospel that can save a soul, and that Gospel call is for people everywhere in the entire world. There is not a separate Gospel, nor is there a separate COVENANT for the Jewish people. The Gospel is for ALL the NATIONS (GENTILES) in the world, and ALL the Jewish people in the world also. The ethnicity or RACE of a person does not matter at all. It is important to remember that a person can only have their SINS atoned for by the BLOOD of Jesus Christ. The Jewish people have been without a BLOOD ATONEMENT for nearly two thousand years! How can they have their SIN atoned for if there is no longer a Jewish Tabernacle or Temple? That is the question of the hour. Tune in to this important Podcast for the answer to that question.
For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul. (Leviticus 17:11)
There have been many different “apparitions of Mary” occurring all over the world. This has been happening for many years. Is it really Mary who is appearing? Could it be that the apparitions are not from God? Could it be that these apparitions are of a demonic origin? Tune in to this message as former Roman Catholic Bill White answers the question. Marian Apparitions: Divine Or Demonic?
In the gospel of Luke 16:19-31 we find the Lord Jesus Christ speaking on the subject of HELL. If you own a red letter Bible, you will see that all of the words are in RED, which means that Jesus spoke those words. The Lord wanted us to know that HELL is a very real place, and there are many who will end up there. Do not be fooled by those who tell you that HELL is not a place of everlasting punishment, when the scriptures make that abundantly clear. It is not a LOVING thing to hold back this vital truth from the people whom we love, and that is why I bring this message to you today. Feel free to make recordings of this message, or any other messages, for your loved ones and friends. Be Blessed. Sincerely, Bill White, Onwatch Radio Podcast
The Roman Catholic Church declares this regarding the sacrifice of the Mass: “…In this divine sacrifice which is celebrated in the Mass, the same Christ who offered himself once in a bloody manner on the altar of the cross is contained and is offered in an unbloody manner.” [Item #1367 Catholic Catechism of 1994] In this teaching, former Roman Catholic Bill White compares the Roman Catholic Tradition with the Biblical teaching regarding the finished work of Jesus Christ upon the cross. I encourage you to take the time to listen, and be enlightened regarding this most serious topic.
This is one of the most important messages that I have ever preached. It deals with the topic of “Christian Zionism.” There are many who believe that the Jewish people are in a right relationship with God if they live in the light of the Torah, but the scriptures teach otherwise. If that were true then everything that Jesus Christ and His disciples preached would become meaningless. God has spoken to us by His Son, and this is God’s last word to both Jew and Gentile. Beware of joining hands with the modern day Pharisees, who reject the Gospel of Jesus Christ, no matter how “loving” it may seem. The scriptures warn us about those who have an “antichrist spirit” and deny that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh. Can two walk together except they be agreed? (Amos 3:3) Be Blessed in Jesus Christ.
The apostle Paul said this a short time before he left this Earth:
“I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.” (2 Timothy 4:7)
If you have been born again of the Spirit and are a true Bible believing Christian, then you too are in a “fight of faith.” This is a message of encouragement to stand strong in the Lord and to continue in the Word of God until the end. Friends, we must understand, that many people are straying from the scriptures, and departing from the faith, even as the Spirit prophesied would happen.
“Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils.” (1 Timothy 4:1)
Once again the apostle Paul encourages us with the following words:“Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.” (1 Timothy 6:12) Tune in to the podcast and be blessed.
Satan seeks to STEAL the word of God out of the heart of people, lest they should be SAVED! This message gives several BIBLICAL examples of how the devil uses people (sometimes very religious people), to BLOCK the preaching of the word of God (the Gospel). This is something that the believer in Christ needs to be aware of as they attempt to preach the Gospel to others. The Devil HATES the Gospel because it leads people out of DARKNESS into the marvelous LIGHT of Jesus Christ! Break FREE from this SATANIC headlock today!
Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved. (Luke 8:11-12)
Let us settle the issue and answer the quetion once and for all. Is Jesus Christ the only way to heaven? Do all religions take us to the same eternal place of bliss? Does anybody go to hell? Tune in to this Podcast as speaker Bill White opens up the Word of God and examines the scriptures for the answers to those questions.
The Bible tells us that it is impossible to please God without faith. We can learn from people such as Noah and Abraham because they went through this life by faith. The New Testament book of Hebrews mentions their names because of their continuing faith in God. Tune in to this message and learn how you too can go through by faith.
Where are the bones of Jesus Christ anyway? Did Jesus truly rise from the dead as the Bible teaches? Tune in to this ONWATCH Podcast with Bill White for the answers to those questions.

"Rat poison is so effective because the food it's concealed in is good eating. It has to be or the rats wouldn't touch it. The deadly poison is only a small part of the food. But the poison - - - even in minute quantities - - -eventually does its job. IT KILLS. Today there is deadly poison being concealed in the sweet-tasting Word of God that will have the same lethal effect on the family of God. Dangerous, heretical teachings - - - cloaked in Scripture and biblical sounding terminology - - - are permeating the church. These teachings are so subtle, and sound so "right on" that even some of God's "elect" are being deceived." (Larry Thomas from his book "The Watchman", Double Crown Publishing, 1996, pages 46-47)
INSPIRING WORDS FROM KEITH GREEN
It is obvious by even this brief glimpse into the doctrines of mortal and venial sins, confession, penance, and purgatory, that the Roman Catholic Church has constructed one of the most unbiblical doctrinal systems that has ever been considered "Christian". The fear, anguish, and religious bondage that such a system of "reward and punishment" creates, has tormented millions of lives for centuries, and continues to prey on those who are ignorant of the biblical way of salvation. To merely call such a system "a cult", would be to throw it into the vast category of religions and quasi-religions that are currently making the rounds of our college campuses and city streets, snatching up many an unsuspecting youth. No, the Roman Church is not a cult. It's an empire! With its own ruler, its own laws, and its own subjects! The empire has no borders, it encompasses the globe with its eye on every person who does not vow allegiance. It calls the members of other faiths "separated brethren" (The term used by Vatican II to describe the members of Eastern Orthodox, Anglican, and Protestant churches.) and has as its goal the eventual bringing together of everyone under its flag. I know that many will not be convinced or moved by this article (or any of the others) to make such a conclusion. They are impressed by what they've heard about recent stirrings among the Catholics in the "charismatic renewal". Many evangelicals (especially Charismatics) have been thrilled by the reports of Catholics speaking in tongues, dancing in the Spirit, having nights of joy and praise, even attending "charismatic masses". Mouths that used to speak out boldly against the Church of Rome have been quieted by the times. It no longer is in vogue to speak of the pope as "the antichrist" (Although the following people unhesitatingly did: Martin Luther, John Bunyan, John Huss, John Wycliffe, John Calvin, William Tyndale, John Knox, Thomas Bacon, John Wesley, Samuel Cooper, John Cotton, and Jonathan Edwards.) or the Catholic Church as the "whore of Babylon". Now Protestants unwittingly believe that "our differences are not so great". Ah, that is just what She needs us to think! I've never completely understood why God led me to write these articles. But it becomes more clear with each day of study, and each page of research. Never has something so black and wicked, gotten away with appearing so holy and mysteriously beautiful . . . for so long!

POWERFUL WORDS FROM LEONARD RAVENHILL
“Evangelists today are wide-eyed to the might of Communism, but tight lipped at the menace of Romanism. America would shake from coast to coast in twenty-four hours if some preacher, anointed with the Holy Ghost, gave the Roman Catholic Church a broadside! We stir national interest against the cruel, half-civilized Mau Mau (wicked enough), but powwow with, and pander to, the Roman Catholic Church! These priests who dope mens souls,these idolatrous “masses,” these Calvary eclipsing prayers to Mary, these miserable millions cheated in life and in death by the greatest forgery Lucifer ever made.” (Why Revival Tarries by Leonard Ravenhill, Bethany House Publishers, 1988, Copyright 1959)
