Christians bearing the consequences of compromise
Given the Saviour’s words in Luke 17:28-30 – “Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; but the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed,” we cannot but take note as we see the same evil atmosphere that characterised the evil cities of the plain springing up around us.
What believers may tolerate, God cannot. Lot lived amongst these evil citizens and raised his family there and seemed bent on continuing in the city had not God’s judgment fallen upon it and the other wicked cities.
Exploits for Christ in the last days
“ . . . but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits,” Daniel 11:32.
The synopsis of a message preached in Kilskeery Free Presbyterian Church by Rev Ivan Foster at the evening service, January 10th, 2016, in which points he was unable to touch upon in the message are given.
Daniel is a book of prophecy. There is a lot of disputing about what it is that Daniel says. Do not be surprised at that. Disputes surround every doctrine of the Word of God – the new birth, assurance of salvation, the doctrine of the Trinity, the deity of Christ, the inspiration of the Holy Scriptures. These are but a few of the Bible subjects that have been surrounded by disputings ever since God sent forth His Word.
The reason why there are such disputings is easily understood. The devil would seek to sow confusion and spread disbelief in order to rob men of God’s truth and the infinite blessing that may be accrued through believing God.
Prophecy is no exception. When the devil has everyone arguing about the subject, he then whispers, “See, this is such a difficult subject, it is a waste of time to study it!”
Merchandising the Gospel
This is a challenging message by Pastor Ralph Ovadal of “The Heart of the Matter” programme and Pilgrims Covenant Church, Monroe, Wisconsin.
He deals with the issue of the growing practice of conferences featuring “celebrity preachers” charging a fee to those who wish to attend and hear the Word of God.
This practice is in startling contrast to the Saviour’s exhortation in Matthew 10:8: “Freely ye have received, freely give.”

Editor’s correspondence with ‘Father’ Patrick McCafferty
Pastor James McConnell and the RC priest Patrick McCafferty with whom he is most friendly
Back in 2002, I entered into a correspondence in the pages of “The Burning Bush” with a Roman Catholic priest from Belfast. The correspondence arose after I wrote a letter in reply to an article by the priest in “The Belfast Telegraph” of August 24th, 2002.
I was grieved at such a platform being given to the errors and deceptions of Rome and commented on the priest’s article in a letter to “The Belfast Telegraph.”
It will be noted how our two replies to the priest were edited by the ‘Letters Editor’ of “The Belfast Telegraph” before they quickly closed the exchange after two exchanges.
The Word of God was not liked by that ecumenical newspaper back then and it is still the case. Every effort was made to shield and protect the priest of Rome from the rebuke of God’s Word.
We are republishing the correspondence, which continued for eight exchanges, and appeared in “The Burning Bush” from October 2002 until May 2003, because of the publicity given to the ‘warm relationship’ that was manifested between this priest and Pastor James McConnell during the recent trial occasioned by Pastor McConnell’s pulpit statements about Islam. Pastor McConnell asked ‘Father’ Patrick McCafferty to speak on his behalf during the trial.
It is timely also since the decision of the judge in that trial is be announced early in January.
All this “ecumenical camaraderie” between the pastor and the priest may appear to some to give endorsement of the teachings of Rome and it is for this reason we highlight again the errors this priest, like all Roman Catholic clerics, propagates.
Needless to say, it also highlights the folly of James McConnell!
Read Part 1 of the exchange here.
Refreshing rain in a weary wilderness
A sermon preached in Kilskeery Free Presbyterian Church, back in May 2003, by Rev Ivan Foster which is very appropriate as we continue our Christian pilgrimage into a new year.
“Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, whereby thou didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary,” Psalms 68:9.
