The only problem with traditions is when they come from the wrong source. Whether they’re old traditions or new ones, if they come from men rather than from God, they don’t constitute worship of God.

Take a look at I Samuel 15. King Saul thought it’d be a great idea to save some of the animals to bring back and make a great sacrifice to God. Was he right or wrong? Was God pleased or angry? Rather than come up with great ideas and wonderful works, what should he have done instead?

On the contrary, I rejoice that the gospel is being preached and heard in China.

What grieves me is that the devil is at work perverting it over there just as he does here in America.

Preachers in pulpits all over this country and the world are preaching a false gospel that gives the ignorant a false sense of soul-security. The visible fruits of that false gospel are seen in disobedient and rebellious false worship, while the unseen fruit is souls being led to destruction.

Does this not grieve you? It ought to grieve everyone who has “gotten a Life”.

VOM also flies balloons with the gospel printed on it over North Korea. :)

The balloons eventually leak their helium and drop the Bible all over the place.

Thank God.
