God Gave Only One Infallible Source for Truth

We are living in a time when many people have lost their confidence in discerning absolute truth from malicious and destructive lies. The pursuit of truth has been hijacked by a culture that esteems misguided opinions masquerading as facts. People are witnessing how easily truth can be twisted, manipulated and suppressed by politicians, religious leaders and the media. People without discernment are trusting their favorite personalities to provide accurate information rather than seeking a more trustworthy source for truth. Our postmodern world has declared there is no such thing as absolute truth because they say truth is relative. "Truth has perished and has been cut off from their mouth" (Jer. 7:28). Much of society now believes that truth, like beauty, is in the subjective eye of the beholder.

Temporal and Eternal Consequences

When politicians and the media misinform and mislead people by twisting and distorting the truth, their lies produce only temporal consequences. However, when religious leaders do the same thing, their lies have eternal consequences. That is because people can be misled about a lot of things in this life and still survive, but if they are deceived about how to be made right with God, there are eternal consequences. They will pay for that fatal mistake forever and ever. Religious leaders who deceive people about their eternal destiny are to be exposed as enemies of God and agents of the devil. That is because there is only one Gospel that has the power to save those who are perishing (Rom. 1:16; Gal. 1:6-9). Those who distort the Gospel of grace are propagating the most lethal and deadly lie anyone could ever speak. Those who distort the Word of God do so to their own destruction (2 Pet. 3:16). God will destroy those who speak falsehood because He abhors the man of deceit (Psalm 5:6). 

Love People and Hate Every False Religion

There is an important distinction between the religious institutions that deceive people and the misguided souls who believe their fatal lies. As Christians, we are to love the precious souls who are being deceived but hate the wicked and evil institutions that deceive them. Some might ask if this kind of hatred is justified. It is, according to God's inspired Word. We are to hate every false way and despise falsehood (Psalm 119:128,163). It is for this reason I hate the apostate Roman Catholic religion that deceives its people with a false and fatal gospel which keeps them on the wide road to destruction (Mat. 7:13). This is why I have such love and compassion for Catholics who are where I once was - deceived and not even aware of their pending peril. It is not love if we allow them to march proudly towards hell's gate without warning them with the infallible truth from God's Word. Those who have been deceived will never know it until they are lovingly confronted with the truth. That is the nature of deception. We must use the truth of Scripture to expose and destroy the lies of the devil. May our passion for the truth give us a greater compassion for those who are deceived. Likewise, may our hatred for fatal lies motivate us to contend more earnestly for the true faith of the apostles (Jude 3).

Truth Bearers and Truth Rejectors

Truth is the only thing I know that both unites and divides people. Our Lord Jesus, who is the personification of truth, divides believers from unbelievers, even within families - sons from fathers and daughters from mothers (Mat. 10:34-36). On the other hand, truth unites believers, because they are all sanctified by the truth (John 17:17-21). God brought them forth and set them free by His Word of truth (James 1:18; John 8:32). The division between truth bearers and truth rejectors produces discord and conflict. Truth bearers are often publicly shamed, labeled as intolerant, or slandered by truth-rejectors, who are blinded from the light of the Gospel and the glory of Christ (2 Cor. 4:4). Truth rejectors advocate a different doctrine and do not agree with sound words (1 Tim. 6:4-5). They are always learning but never able to come to the knowledge of the truth (2 Tim. 3:7). Others are deprived of the truth and understand nothing because they exchanged the truth of God for a lie (Rom 1:25). 

Truth Is Definitely Worth Pursuing

Every person's eternal destiny is confirmed by the authoritative truth of God's infallible Word. We know the most trustworthy authority for discerning truth from error is the Lord Jesus Christ, who is the personification of truth (John 14:6). His Word is truth and everyone who is of the truth hears His voice because He came to testify to the truth (John 17:3, 18:37). Scripture declares that it is impossible for God to lie (Heb. 6:18). We know that truth is always objective and absolute and it is not subjected to, or dependent upon, anything else. We also know that truth is immutable, just as Jesus is. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Heb. 13:8).

Our Divine Privilege as Truth Bearers

All Christians have been given a divine privilege and an awesome responsibility. As ambassadors to the King of kings, we are to guard, proclaim and defend the truth against any and all opposition. We are also called to expose the lies that undermine the truth of God's Word (1 Tim. 6:20-21). Let us encourage others to always test the uninspired words of men with the inspired Word of God. It is the only infallible source for truth that God has given us. It is our most trustworthy weapon to slay the lies of the devil and protect us from his deceptive schemes. Thank you Lord!

Mike, As I drove to Vermont yesterday, I listened to your entire book Preparing for Eternity on audible. Wow! The amount of work that you put into that book blows my mind, including all the questions. I am a 69 year old brother in Christ and former Catholic and rarely read anything else these days but God’s Word. Your book has encouraged me at a very timely moment as a very Catholic friend and his priest are trying to persuade me to come back to Roman Catholicism. However, I belong to Jesus Christ and I am going to order a few copies of your book to read and highlight key Scripture references to help me to plant seeds with my dear Catholic family members and friends. Thank you for your hard work. M.H., Vermont

Mike, after watching you on the Allie Beth Stuckey show, your perspectives on Catholicism are wrong. You made over 30 assertions that are incorrect. You believe that converting poorly catechized Catholics is doing God's work. You are a false prophet and a heretic that leads people away from the church Jesus established. The early church proved it. E.C., Internet

E.C., You make the same accusations that all Catholics make. You accuse me of 30 false assertions yet you did not name even one. My assertions are verbatim from your authoritative sources, so if you think they are wrong take it up with your clergy, that is under divine condemnation for distorting the Gospel (Gal. 1:6-9).

Mike, You are a gutless punk. You put a Catholic bashing video on YouTube and then ignore the comments. If you had responded, you would have had your satanic ass handed to you. However, as a Catholic, I will pray for you because Jesus will no doubt deny you on judgment day. R.M., Internet

Sir, Your lies are disgraceful and your claims are inaccurate. You shouldn’t bear false witness, and you are laughably ignorant about church history. You should be ashamed and you’re pathetic. Scott, Internet

Hello Mike and your dear wife Jane, I want to say how Carol and I so love your zeal for the Lord and the wonderful work you are doing. Each and every month you are so spot on accurate as you portray His Gospel. Our thanks to you and your Ministry and the truth you feed us at the beginning of each month. I have just returned from witnessing in Montreal, Canada where the French Nationalists are outlawing Christianity. Please know you are in our prayers S. & C.L., Dawsonville, GA

Mike, The amount of condescending messages, bitter sarcasm, and spiteful name-calling that you put up with from Catholics is truly eye-opening and not Christlike of them. The truth of the Gospel hits a nerve with all people; some graciously and humbly receive it, while others reject it outright. All of this to say, keep fighting the good fight, and may God continue to bless your ministry. D.A.B., Austintown, OH

The Christ Rejecting Lie of Purgatory

In this short video, we share how the soul damning lie of purgatory holds Catholics in bondage and rejects the perfect, all-sufficient work of Jesus Christ. Catholics say they believe in Jesus but reject His inspired words and redemptive works. Watch it here.

Podcast in England Interviews Mike Gendron

Pope Calls Muslims Children of God

In his recent visit to a Muslim Mosque in Algeria, Pope Leo called everyone “children of God.” Yet, the Word of God says otherwise. “But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name” (John 1:12). Sonship is conditional. It requires receiving Christ by faith.

He also called the Grand Mosque of Algiers a “space that is of God, a divine, sacred space.” He said, people come here “to find the presence of the Most High.” Every doctrine that defines Christianity, including the divinity of Christ and His crucifixion and resurrection, is explicitly denied inside the building the Pope called “the space that is of God.” And yet Catholics believe the pope is the head of the church that Jesus purchased with His own blood (Acts 20:28).
