Steps to Death

·14 min·1 clip

The host calls out preachers who add works to salvation as heretics sending people to hell.

The episode begins with the host sharing personal ministry updates from the past week, including leading a man to Christ after Easter Sunday. He then promotes his book, 'The Art of Communication,' detailing its chapters and encouraging listeners to purchase it from oldpadspublications.com. The main sermon starts with a reading from Luke 22:4 about Judas Iscariot communing with chief priests to betray Jesus. The host notes that Judas walked with Jesus for three years but never accepted him as Savior. He outlines four steps that lead to spiritual downfall, drawing parallels to modern believers. First, going your own way instead of God's way leads to heartache. Second, your way leads to wrong friends, as seen with Judas finding the chief priests. Third, wrong friends lead to wrong conclusions, such as desiring money over the Savior. The host applies this to critics of soul-winning churches, stating they run with wrong friends and become disgruntled. He vehemently criticizes these critics, calling them heretics for adding works to salvation and being lazy about soul-winning. He names specific individuals like Brother Hiles and Curtis Hudson as targets of unfair criticism. Fourth, wrong conclusions lead to betraying your heritage, as critics attack the old paths. The host asserts that many in old paths churches have become like Judas by leaving and criticizing. He urges listeners to surrender to God's way, avoid these critics, and focus on soul-winning. The episode ends with an encouragement to lead people to Christ and have a great weekend.
