Bringing Discernment to the Body of Christ
	2 John 9 Anyone who goes too far and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God;  the one who abides in the teaching, he has both the Father and the Son.	Is 62:6 On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have appointed watchmen; All day and all night they will never keep silent. You who remind the Lord take no rest for yourselves

Focus of Site   Layman Perspective exist to bring about an awareness and discernment among those who have been "born again" about the dangers of various anti Biblical movements that have invaded the church, thus enabling a more effective evangelistic ministry to those caught in the clutches of these movements. (Jude 22-23)     The prophetic scriptures are vividly clear that spiritual deception would be the hallmark within the church as we approach the end of the church age (Matt 24:4-5, 2Pet 2:1-2, 1Tim 4:1), therefore it is out of this revelation that the need for spiritual discernment and a contending for the faith (Jude 3,4)  will be called to the fore-front among those who are born-again.   It is time for God’s true pastors and teachers to sound the warning as never before. There needs to be a renewed and intensified focus in the efforts of teaching and completely equipping the saints (Eph 4:12) by employing sound hermeneutics in proclaiming the whole counsel of God, utilizing every ministry within the church as a conduit for teaching Biblical truth.   The teaching of the scriptures needs to have discernment and apologetics integrated in its presentation. Discernment and contending for the faith is not an option but a necessity that must be diligently and consistently applied during this age of darkness and deception.

[4] More on Roman Catholicism      The Dialectic process is practiced by the world system in carrying out its rebellion against God. The Bible states that the whole world-system of evil in which all the unsaved are a part of lies in the power of Satan (1 John 5:19). Read how this Satanic and fallen man system  carries out it's rebellion against God Why are some Christian bookstores, even book stores located on Church campuses providing a back door to anti Biblical authors and their unbiblical teachings ?  Some of these churches even have orthodox doctrinal statements What is the motive and who is at work within these churches?

The following Featured Articles, Videos and Audios are a series of messages provided to help you assess and provoke thought about your relationship with Christ. God doesn’t want you to be self deceived concerning your relationship with him.  Regrettably many within the church claim a relationship with Christ but their life style indicates they don’t know him (Titus 1:16). Do you take pleasure in the things of the world that caused Christ to be nailed to cross? According to one ministry "75% of "born-again" Christians lie regularly- conscious, premeditated lies." Something is surely wrong when there is no discernable difference between those who claim Christ as their savior and those who follow the world system. Therefore it is imperative that one undertakes a self test as the Bible instructs, where by Paul states, "Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith; examine yourselves! Or do you not recognize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you—unless indeed you fail the test? (2 Cor 13:5-6). Remember God is Holy, is holiness the drive for your life? Hersey by Proxy The Bible tells us to "Examine / Prove ourselves to make sure we are in the faith". Is there Biblical evidence of your salvation? God's message to America and the nations of the world as spoken by Jeremiah the prophet (Jer 1:4-5,9-10)   [3]     [5] According to LIVING WATERS MINISTRY. "There was a time when the entertainment industry was bound by a code that forbade them from using any blasphemy in a movie? The "Hays Code” stated: "Pointed profanity--this includes the words “God,” “Lord,” “Jesus,” “Christ” (unless used reverently), “Hell,” “S.O.B.,” “damn,” or every other profane or vulgar expression, however used--is forbidden. " Hollywood is no longer restricted by the code. Many of  today's movies don't simply blaspheme the name of Jesus . They go even further with the use of the "F" word using it along with the name of Jesus. [2]  In Rom 12:1-2 the Bible tells us: 1   Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice,   acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. 2.    And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect."   Are you presenting your bodies a living and holy sacrifice to God or are you allowing your mind to be conformed to this world? Are any of the people in the following video representative of you? Related Material: Doctrine of Demons and the Entertainment Industry
