“Whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst.” – John 4:14
He who is a believer in Jesus finds enough in his Lord to satisfy him now, and to content him for evermore. The believer is not the man whose days are weary for want of comfort, and whose nights are long from absence of heart cheering thought, for he finds in religion such a spring of joy, such a fountain of consolation, that he is content and happy. Put him in a dungeon and he will find good company; place him in a barren wilderness, he will eat the bread of heaven; drive him away from friendship, he will meet the “friend that sticketh closer than a brother.” Blast all his gourds, and he will find shadow beneath the Rock of Ages; sap the foundation of his earthly hopes, but his heart will still be fixed, trusting in the Lord. The heart is as insatiable as the grave till Jesus enters it, and then it is a cup full to overflowing. There is such a fulness in Christ that he alone is the believer’s all. The true saint is so completely satisfied with the all sufficiency of Jesus that he thirsts no more except it be for deeper draughts of the living fountain. In that sweet manner, believer, shalt thou thirst; it shall not be a thirst of pain, but of loving desire; thou wilt find it a sweet thing to be panting after a fuller enjoyment of Jesus’ love. One in days of yore said, “I have been sinking my bucket down into the well full often, but now my thirst after Jesus has become so insatiable, that I long to put the well itself to my lips, and drink right on.” Is this the feeling of thine heart now, believer? Dost thou feel that all thy desires are satisfied in Jesus, and that thou hast no want now, but to know more of him, and to have closer fellowship with him? Then come continually to the fountain, and take of the water of life freely. Jesus will never think you take too much, but will ever welcome you, saying, “Drink, yea, drink abundantly, O beloved.”
Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-92)

The Real Roots of the Emergent Church
October 6, 2012Emergent/Emerging Church Roots
Of the over 250 posts on this blog, to my knowledge, I have put up only one other video of this length .
During the past couple of years, I have seen the growing popularity of many of the people mentioned in this documentary. Not unlike the days when the great Apostle Paul sat in a prison cell and “watched” the church attacked from within and without (2 Timothy), today we have so many assaults on the Word of God that it is difficult to keep up with them all. What I know is that these guys are dangerous. I have kept up with a few of them the past couple of years and their popularity is growing. Their teachings are accepted by many. It is the reason I felt compelled to post this video.
These people and those like them remind me of the wolves mentioned in the following verses:
Matthew 7:15
“Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves.”
Matthew 10:16
“Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves; so be shrewd as serpents and innocent as doves.”
Luke 10:3
“Go; behold, I send you out as lambs in the midst of wolves.”
Acts 20:29
“I know that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock;”
It is very important to know the Word of God.
“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths.” – 2 Timothy 4:3-4
