Believers for centuries have been looking for the One World Government, One World Currency, and One World Religion that will come during end times. I don’t think we have to look any longer. If you will watch the news you will see that we are moving in that direction very fast. The United Nations have been working towards a One World Government for some time and now we see that the One World Currency is already in the works. While there has been a stirring towards the One World Religion for years it is now in the fast track thanks to ecumenicalism.
American Heritage Dictionary gives the definition of ecumenical as “of worldwide scope; universal; of or relating to the worldwide Christian church; concerned with establishing or promoting unity among churches or religions.”
There are two ecumenical movements currently happening.
The first is the Evangelical Movement. This is the belief that all Christian denominations must come together in unity. Organizations like the Promise Keepers and Bible teachers like Beth Moore take this ecumenical stand. An article about Beth Moore stated that, “she doesn’t get caught up in divisive doctrinal issues. In fact, she purposely steers clear of topics that could widen existing rifts between different streams in the body of Christ.” The Promise Keepers’ movement is also part of this ecumenical trend of down-playing doctrine for unity. In one Promise Keeper publication this is clearly evident: We believe that we have a God-given mission to unite men who are separated by race, geography, culture, denomination, and economics. A Promise Keeper is committed to reach beyond any racial and denominational barriers to demonstrate the power of biblical unity. And they have been successful in doing that. Promise Keepers supporters and sponsors include Evangelicals, Catholics, Lutherans, Presbyterians, Methodists, Episcopalians, Charismatics, and others. These groups have been divided by major doctrinal differences for many years. But now these differences are being dropped for the sake of unity. These are just two examples of many. Please tell me, if I am a Baptist who believes that salvation is by grace through faith and not of works lest any man should boast how can I worship beside a person who believes in works for salvation? This person doesn’t believe I’m even saved.
Ecumenical teaching is dangerous because it weakens the faith. Having a standard and raising up walls of separation is a way of protecting the local church from error and heretical, false teachings. Because of this Evangelical Movement of Ecumenicalism we are now seeing a larger movement in which states that we bring together not only all Evangelicals but now we bring together all religions. Billy Graham states on the “Hour of Power” show that Jesus Christ is NOT the only way to the Father. He says that Muslims, Buddhist, and even non-believers are being called of God and are a part of the body of Christ even if they do not know His name.
The teaching is everywhere. From fiction books like The Shack to radio preachers and TV Evangelist like Joel Osteen and Joyce Meyers you will find the ecumenical belief and it’s all moving us toward the One World Religion.
I received a check in the mail today. It was not the first check I’ve ever received and I certainly hope it will not be the last, but by far it is the most remarkable. The reason for its significance is because it was for $.05. The telephone company sent us a refund, a whopping five cent refund, when we cancelled our telephone service. Previously, they had sent us two credits in the mail. Now maybe you are not as perplexed as I am to this reasoning but let me explain what I see here. The telephone company so concerned with its customers that for a five cent credit they will mail two letters (at $.44 each plus paper cost), print a check (paying someone in the company to do this) and send the $.05 check (using paper and another $.44). What has happened to common sense? The same company several years ago sent us a final bill for $.42. They sent several bills clearly costing more money than the forty-two cent they billed us for. Again I ask, what has happened to common sense? I shouldn’t be surprised that it has died, look at our country. As I listen to the news and all the talk about stimulus packages, illegal immigrants, states’ rights, gun restrictions, hate crime legislation and the silencing of Christians I again ask “What has happened to common sense?” When I hear the same people who believe in the murder of innocent babies talk about animal rights and “mother earth” I again ask, “What has happened to common sense?” When I hear about people suing others over hot coffee or schools hiring child molesters or the government spending 2 million dollars for ATV trails during a financial crisis, I began to believe that common sense has died. Common sense died in this country when the belief of God and His Holy Word died. You may ask, “What does a .05 cent check and God have to do with one another?” It’s simple really. When a person no longer cares about God, His Word, His Standards, His Holiness, or His coming Judgment, then a person stops caring about everything else – that is unless it immediately involves or benefits them. The greatest two commandments are love God and love others. People have stopped loving God, therefore they cannot love others. People today seem to love only one person and that is self. So, the attitude is, “If it doesn’t promote my well being than I don’t care.” This can be applied to employees in companies wasting money to people not standing up when Christians are persecuted. The apathetic attitude in our country, even among believers, is killing our nation. The lethargic approach many have taken to life is destroying the very foundations that this God fearing country was built upon. Oh how I wish we could get back to where we once were – God fearing, Bible reading, church going, parent honoring, country caring, neighbor loving, elderly respecting and common sense!
