Pope Benedict a wiser man now BUT LOST!!!!

As we ended 2022 so we begin 2023 — attacking the devil and his agents and seeking to refute their lies and warn sinners of their need of Christ.

This article on the late Pope Benedict centres upon his wicked attack on the gospel and the allying ecumenical church leaders here in Ulster with him and his perverted notions of God and His Truth.

The many news link I have included were sent to me by a friend who keeps a watch out for such items that may be of interest to me and you, the readers of “The Burning Bush”.

May it please the Lord to bless the article to many hearts.

Sincerely in Christ’s name,

Pope Benedict a wiser man now BUT LOST!!!!

Ex-Pope Benedict, like all his predecessors who have entered upon death, has crossed a threshold to a realm of knowledge of a degree he never experienced while alive!

He was one who, during his time on earth, descended to the utter depths of pagan darkness to an extent few others did, with the exception of his fellow popes.

Under the guise of his self-proclaimed role as ‘God’s chief representative on earth’, he propagated the most vile perversion of Christianity. I believe that it can be proved that the ‘institution’ of which he was head, distorted, corrupted and degenerated every truth of the Bible. In the place of plain gospel doctrine as set forth in God’s Word, he and his ilk set forth nothing better than the corruptions of ‘Babylonianism’. Indeed, it was ‘Babylonianism’!

He is now paying the price in hell of his life-long embracing of popish nonsense and rejecting the truth of God. (more…)

A very happy 2023

Dear Friends,

We share this picture of the scene we look out on from our home, and have done so now for some 14 years, since we retired in 2008.

With it, we wish you all a very happy and prosperous 2023, trusting in the midst of all the failures of men’s hopes and ambitions, you will know the joy and peace of these words.

“‭The eternal‭ God‭ ‭is thy‭ refuge‭, and underneath ‭are‭ the everlasting‭ arms‭: and he shall thrust out‭‭ the enemy‭‭ from before‭ thee; and shall say‭‭, Destroy‭‭ ‭them‭.‭ ‭Israel‭ then shall dwell‭‭ in safety‭ alone‭: the fountain‭ of Jacob‭ ‭shall be‭ upon a land‭ of corn‭ and wine‭; also his heavens‭ shall drop down‭‭ dew‭.‭ ‭Happy‭ ‭art‭ thou, O Israel‭: who ‭is‭ like unto thee, O people‭ saved‭‭ by the LORD‭, the shield‭ of thy help‭, and who ‭is‭ the sword‭ of thy excellency‭! and thine enemies‭‭ shall be found liars‭‭ unto thee; and thou shalt tread‭‭ upon their high places‭,” Deuteronomy 33:27-29.

Sincerest love to all,

Ann & Ivan

Pilgrims Covenant Church gospel outreach update report

I come to the final article of this year and may I thank you for the encouragements you have been to me during the last 12 months.

I commend to you this report of the Autumn/Winter outreach activities of Pilgrims Covenant Church, in the state of Wisconsin, USA.

Though small, the church maintains a faithful witness to the gospel of Christ to their fellow citizens in their home state and in neighbouring states, such as Illinois.

We are all seeing, I believe, in these days a re-enactment of the experience of the foolishly rebellious people in the days of Jeremiah, about which I read just this morning.

“And the LORD God of their fathers sent to them by his messengers, rising up betimes, and sending; because he had compassion on his people, and on his dwelling place: But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the LORD arose against his people, till there was no remedy,” 2 Chronicles 36:15-16.

The witness of Pilgrims Covenant Church is an encouragement and an example to us here in Kilskeery and to many other Christian gatherings in these days of decline, declension and spiritual decay.

I would ask you to pray for Pastor Ralph Ovadal and his small band of workers as they maintain a faithful witness to the Word of God and the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. (more…)
