Pastor John Hagee preached in one of his sermons that today's ministers of the Gospel in some churches are now rationalizing sin, saying it not so bad, that what they are doing is good so long as it brings people in. In other words, the ends justify the means.

While filling a church is great; saving souls is even greater. Pastor Hagee had some pretty uncompromising things to say about apostate churches in the last days.

The Lord warned that we can tell by the results (fruit) whether something is rotten or not. It is God, not man, who should be honored. If worship is lifted up with joy and gladness, since the news of our redemption is The Good News(!) that's terrific--just as long as the fruit is not really deception in disguise.

The Devil is a real sneak, and it's been said he paves the road to Hell with good intentions. His whole purpose is to deceive. There are some who even deny his existence...the greatest deception of them all. These are the days in which good will be called evil and evil will be made to look good.

KJV: For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Matthew 24-24

"For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect."

And this is the theme of the entire books of Collossians, 1 John and Jude. We can't say we weren't warned.
