Evil Eye Over Evangelicalism

Sermon Text: Galatians 1:6-10

Guest Preacher Larry DeBruyn as part of The Vanishing Gospel conference

The Jews should have known that it was the time of the messiah, and Jesus held them accountable to know this. It would seem that we are close to the second coming of Christ: a literal, physical return.

When Paul was writing to the church at Galatia they had been seduced to embrace “another gospel”, which is not the Gospel. It is worth noticing that false teaching is often appealing to our flesh. The appeal of the ‘secret’ religions, such as masonry, is that there is something in them which can only be gained by being a part of the movement. This is Gnosticism at the core, and we are starting to see churches moving into this direction. They entice people to “know the secret things of God” which aren’t found in the Bible.

Our world today is based upon Platonic philosophy. Plato imagined that we could move from the real world below to the ideal world above through mystical contemplation. This philosophy and it’s variations has permeated the church today.
