In a righteously indignant kind of way….
As a pastor I have watched too many people set aside truth for an "easier" way…
I am seeing way too many young men being wooed by a nasty spirit of deception…..
Some of the current buzz words among the pseudo Pentecostal reek of deception……
Example….
I want to be an “authentic” Christian…..
Face it, one is either a Christian or not…..
"Authentic" adds no authenticity whatsoever……
But the feel good buzz words of the non prayers among us find these kind of words relate to other non prayers….
Here is one they might should try….
Deny yourself and take up His cross and follow Him…..
Or maybe this one…..
Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
How about the straight and narrow way to heaven?
And here is the part that is really causing the righteous stir in my spirit….
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves…..
I am seeing too many false prophets on different internet venues that beguile young men away from their roots of holy and separate living….
These ravening wolves are presenting our young men with the alternative of delusion…
They are smooth in their deceit….
They are suave in their seductions…..
And this pastor wants to rise up and shout….
Young man…
Ignore the seductions of the ravening wolves of modern Pentecostalism….
Find yourself a place to bury your face in carpet….
And forget the twinkling words of the ravening spirits of deception and compromise…..

Thank you Bro. Smith for speaking from the heart. We live at a most frightening time. We personally have friends and family in and out of the ministry who now follow after seducing doctrines. Unfortunately, they aren't all young but middle age or older. God help us all!
Sounds like someone is looking for or found the "AMERIGING church?"
Bro. Smith,
Timely words! When reading through Peter and Jude's espistles there is a clear sense of "righteous indignation"; not against the evil society, but against apostasty from within.
