Unity at the Expense of Truth‏

[The following post is reproduced with permission of Mike Gendron.]

Many evangelicals are unaware of the Vatican’s relentless strategy to unite all of professing Christianity under the power and authority of the pope. Everywhere we look we see a compromise of the Gospel for the sake of ecumenical unity. Following are just a few of the several disturbing events that we have experienced:

We were asked to counsel a Christian young lady, and her Roman Catholic boyfriend of two years, who were contemplating marriage. After 90 minutes of presenting the light of the true Gospel against the errors of Catholicism, the young Baptist lady was very disturbed. It was clear that no one had ever warned her that the gospel of Catholicism is fatally flawed.

I was asked to counsel a student at Dallas Theological Seminary who had decided to join the Roman Catholic religion after he had been told it is the one and only true church.

A pastor asked me to meet with his youth pastor who was leaving to join the Roman Catholic religion. He was told they offer "the fullness of salvation" because without the Eucharist, no one could be fully saved.

A young lady came up to me in tears after one of my seminars. She was so distraught because she recently married a Catholic and no one had ever warned her of Rome’s false gospel. She had been in an evangelical church all her life.

After teaching a seminar at Moody Bible Institute, a student asked me to talk to an "born again" Catholic accountant in Moody's business office who was proselytizing the students. Within minutes into the conversation, the Catholic accountant offered me a 4-page publication that explained why the Eucharist is necessary for salvation.

It is for reasons like these that we all need to be educated and equipped to earnestly contend for "the faith" and to proclaim the true Gospel to souls who are lost in this huge mission field. May I encourage you to ask your church leadership to do the following:

1) host a Proclaiming the Gospel seminar

2) place our web site (http://www.pro-gospel.org/) in your church bulletin to give people access to important information concerning Roman Catholicism.

3) offer our six different Gospel tracts in your bookstore or tract racks. Five of them were created specifically to reach Roman Catholics.

4) obtain our video series on DVD and my book Preparing Catholics for Eternity for your church library and/or bookstore.

Serving you as you serve our Lord Jesus Christ!

Proclaiming the Gospel Blessings,
