THE BOOK OF FAIRYTALES

   In false churches, Jesus is no more than an idol:  an image created in the minds of false prophets, false ministers, and false priests, and transferred to the minds of people within their congregations.
   As such, Jesus is no more than an image:  a photograph, picture, portrait, drawing, sketch, sculptor, or as a crucifix dangling on a necklace, or as a good luck charm worn on a bracelet. 
   In false churches, Jesus is no more than an image of a baby at Christmas, placed under a green tree with other Christmas idols, or wrapped as a doll in a crib in manger scenes along with barnyard animals.
   As an idol in false churches, Jesus is not real.  All the stories that are told about Jesus in false churches are fairytales because Jesus---in the minds of the congregations---is merely an idol.  And the biblical story about Jesus, to them, is also a fairytale because the congregations do not believe in the Holy Bible---because the false prophets do not believe in the Holy Bible.
   These stores are simple to remember because they are told as children's stories---much like The Three Bears, The Three Little Pigs, or Alice in Wonderland.  And Twas the Night Before Christmas has more meaning than the Second Chapter of the Gospel of Luke to the members of false churches.
   The stores that false prophets tell to their congregations about Jesus are designed to deceive:  to influence them to believe that they are Christians because they worship an idol Jesus, and because they participate in a religious system of rites and rituals that purify them of their sin.
   In false churches, Jesus has no power because His birth, life, death, and resurrection are simply stories.  To them, Jesus---if He lived and died at all---is still dead:  as symbolized by a crucifix.  The underlying message here is this:  what can a dead man do for them?
   For the people in false churches, to be "born again" and the "second coming of Christ" are no more than additional chapters in their Book of Fairytales because they do not believe in born again, nor in the second coming of Christ because they do not believe in the Holy Bible.
   To believe that Christ will return, one must first believe that Jesus is alive.  In false churches, the people believe that their salvation is in their religion, and not in the living Christ.
   Sadly and tragically, the belief of Christ in false churches is as if Jesus never lived at all!

WHEN DARKNESS FALLS

   A tidal wave of evil is sweeping across nations and overtaking the world.
   Evil has no boundaries, no border patrols, and no language barriers.
   Even is silent:  moving unseen and undetected, attacking the very wealthy as well as the very poor.
   Evil has no prejudice, no respect of persons, for evil inflicts people of all ages, sex, color, religion, and national origin.
   Evil is a deceptive serpent, seductive, and dressed to kill.  And when evil strikes, darkness falls upon its prey.
   Evil people identify with evil people:  they know their own kind, and they speak an unwritten language.
   Evil moves through darkness, not in the light.
      There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is common among men:  A man to whom God hath given riches, wealth, and honour, so that he wanteth nothing for his soul of all that he desireth, yet God giveth him not power to eat thereof, but a stranger eateth it:  this is vanity, and it is an evil disease.  (Ecclesiastes 6: 1-2)
   Few there be that fully recover from the seductive darkness of alcoholism, drug addiction, pornography addiction, as well as the addictions of prostitution and pedophilia because their souls are fed with the power of evil. 
   Few there be, too, who are saved from the depth of darkness that abides in man's religions, for religion also is a deceptive serpent:  seductive, and dressed to kill. 
      For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.  (2 Corinthians 3: 6)

CALLOWAY BLEVINS: PIONEER PREACHER

  

   Calloway Blevins was born at Whitehead, a small community in Alleghany County, North Carolina, on January 26, 1847, one of ten children in the family of Andrew Blevins and Susannah Joines Blevins. 
   On May 17, 1861, Calloway enlisted in the Confederate States Army as a soldier in the American Civil War, at the age of fourteen.  After the war, he married Lucinda Caudill at the age of eighteen, on July 7, 1865.  And on the second Saturday of February, 1869, he was ordained as a minister at New Salem Baptist Church in Alleghany County, at the age of twenty-two.
   When Calloway Blevins was born, more than half a century would come to pass before adequate roads, electricity, telephones, and automobiles came to the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, Virginia, and across other states.  One church in the vicinity did not have electric lights installed until 1927, and, as late as 1950, the only paved road in western Wilkes County was NC Hwy. 18.
   Regardless of his circumstances, Calloway Blevins became a pastor, missionary and evangelist, taking the Gospel of Christ to people in their communities, establishing churches, preaching and teaching, and ordaining men as ministers and pastors in their churches, thus enabling the people to have a local church in their home areas, usually within walking distance. 
   For decades, Calloway Blevins was the pastor of Walnut Grove Baptist Church.
   In 1897, when the Stone Mountain Baptist Association was formed in Wilkes County, Calloway Blevins was elected the first Moderator of this association of Baptist churches, a position he served from 1897-1899, 1901-1905, 1907, and 1908.  In time to come, nearly all of the churches in the Stone Mountain Association would have a pastor, either a son or a grandson, of Calloway Blevins. 
   Three of Calloway's brothers---John, Ezekiel, and Smyth---were also Baptist preachers, serving many churches in the Cleghorn Valley, Virginia. 
   Moreover, four of Calloway's five sons---Andrew, Landreth, Avery, and Troy---became Baptist preachers and pastors of many churches.  Beyond his sons, at least twelve grandsons, five great-grandsons, and three great-great grandsons also became Baptist preachers.
   A cousin of Calloway Blevins, Hattie Blevins, lived to be 105 years of age.  She recalled Calloway as being "as well known in the mountains of North Carolina and Virginia in his day as Billy Graham is today---and just as loved."  She also said she was old and married before she heard anyone but a Blevins preach. 
   Della Blevins Graham has an anonymous quote in her history that says, "All a Blevins needs to do is open his mouth and out comes a sermon."
   The story of Calloway Blevins is also the story of hundreds of pioneer preachers in the United States.  Most of these stories are not known.  Most of their names today are simply names on genealogical charts or tombstones without a story behind the name.  American history books do not mention their names, their lives, nor their contributions to people all across the United States.  Many of them had no education or formal training, and Calloway Blevins was called to preach before he knew how to read.  They simply did what they believed they were called of God to do, which is to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ and establish churches:  to be preachers, ministers, missionaries, and evangelists. 
   But these pioneer preachers, like Calloway Blevins, did so much.  They helped to established a strong foundation on which would stand Christian colleges and universities, Bible colleges, seminaries, hospitals, orphanages, nursing homes, and missionaries to nations throughout the world. 
  Calloway Blevins died at his home in Wilkes County, North Carolina, on August 7, 1924, at the age of 77.  He and his wife, Lucinda are buried in the cemetery at Walnut Grove Baptist Church, and they had eleven children:  Oliver, Elizabeth, Andrew, Martha, Sena, Theodosia, Troy, Landreth, Avery, Susan, and Samantha, who was my grandmother.
   Pioneer preachers, like Calloway Blevins, believed in the Holy Bible, and perhaps that is the only textbook they needed.
      How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!  (Romans 10: 15)


BLEVINS FAMILY TREE:
   When I researched this Blevins family tree Ancestry.com, and beginning with Calloway Blevins, I arrived at Jacob, Isaac, and Abraham, and from there to Noah, and then on to Adam and Eve, the first humans on earth.

EYES WIDE SHUT

   The person most likely to deceive you will be a person you know, someone with whom you are familiar, such as a friend, a co-worker, a brother-in-law, or a public official in a public place---and not a stranger.
   The person most likely to offer your children drugs will be a person they know, someone with whom they are familiar, such as a friend, a neighbor, or even a cousin---and not a stranger.
   In Cleveland, Ohio, three young girls were captured and imprisoned in a house, and not even their next door neighbors knew of their plight.  Neither did the people of the community ever suspect that the man they saw every day could commit violent acts against women and a young girl for ten long years. 
   Deceivers are people looking for opportunities, and such people are like Judas Iscariot.  And when the day of opportunity came when Judas could fill his pockets with blood money, he did so without blinking his eyes. 
   When the day of opportunity arrives and a person can profit from you, that person will do it.
   When the day of opportunity arrives when a person will profit from offering your children drugs, that person will do it. 
   Even in religions and churches, there are people seeking to profit from the people with whom they know by the people who trust them the most.  They deceive people by the power of their position, by their charming personalities, by their education and years of service, and by their false faces.  They, like Judas Iscariot, are seekers of opportunities, looking for their payday, and many are receiving compensation even now in the form of career opportunities as ministers, preachers, teachers, or priests.  They deceive people out of salvation as well as out of heaven while they are being paid to teach and preach false messages---while appearing to be the most trusted people in the world.
   Look around you.  Look at the people you know.  Consider their ways, listen to their words, and listen for all the words they are not saying.  They have no fear and they have no shame.
   People of politics and religion are using the same methods they have used for thousands of years because their methods work!  So look at the spiritual and physical conditions of the world today.  When drugs and human trafficking are the world's leading financial enterprises, what does this evidence tell us? 
   People of politics and religion are masters of keeping the eyes of people wide shut.  They are seekers of opportunities at the expense of people.  They want us to keep our eyes focused on them and not on the dangers of this world by appearing to be the people we know and trust the most. 

NO CHILD IS SAFE

   After drugs, human trafficking is the world's largest financial enterprise, generating over $12 billion dollars a year.
   After drugs, human trafficking is also the world's fastest growing crime.
   In the United States alone, more than 800,000 children are reported missing each year.  Some are found safe and unharmed, but many are found dead, and many are never seen again; and 76% of kidnapped children (who are killed) are murdered within three hours after abduction.
   Worldwide, women and children are abducted, drugged, and exploited in the dark world of prostitution, pornography, and pedophilia---even as young as three years of age. 
   In some countries, girls are taken as brides as young as eight years and sexually abused by adult men, who gloat of their conquests of innocent children.
   In the United States, child pornography is one of the fastest growing crimes, and approximately 20,000 foreign nationals are exported to the United States each year for sexual exploitation.
   According to Child Sexual Abuse Prevention Study, an average serial child molester could have as many as 400 victims in his lifetime. 
   These statistics are truly alarming numbers, but the news media outlets of the world do not report on the tragedy of suffering women and children around the world. 
   Women and children are victims of crimes, victims of fear, and they also fear reporting crimes against them and their human rights for fear that people will not believe their reports.  They also fear more punishment if they flee and reveal the identity of their assailants, and they also fear death. 
   Every hour of every day and all over the world, a woman or a child disappears.  And in every neighborhood and community around the world and across the internet, predators of women and children are on the hunt.
   Be careful.  Be diligent.  Be watchful.  Beware of your environment.  Guard your children.
  

CHRIST, OR SATAN?

   Satan is willing for you to believe in anything you choose to believe---as long as you do not believe in Almighty God.
   Satan is a powerful creature, highly intelligent, and invisible to human eyes.  Like a snake, he operates in shadows and remains hidden.  Not wanting to be known, he is willing for people to take credit for the things they do while he remains anonymous. 
   Satan's realm of influence reaches every man, woman, and child upon the earth, and across the generations of human history.  He wants people to believe in people, not to believe in God.
   At the same time, Satan does not want you to believe that he exists.  Instead, he wants you to believe that he is no more than a myth, or a fairytale, and that you are perfectly normal for not agreeing with all the crazy people talking about a devil.  How silly is that!
   Are you looking for a religion?  Satan will help you find one.  After all, Satan wants you to believe that you are on your way to heaven, and all you need to validate your ticket to ride is to embrace a religion.  Therefore, Satan will help you find a religion that fits your comfort zone, your level of intelligence, your degree of education, and, of course, a religion to be with your friends, and a place that meets your social requirements. 
   Satan wants you to believe that it is o.k. for you to be you.  That it is o.k. for you to believe in the gods of the sun, moon, and stars.  That it is o.k. for you to worship idols and images, and to cling to relics such as jewelry or lucky charms.  That it is o.k. if you believe that people can become gods, or that certain people of the earth, even now, are gods---and thereby capable of forgiving sin as well as empowered to wash your sins away with water baptism or any other method of purification. 
   Satan will also agree that you can read and study any book upon the earth---as long as that book is not the Holy Bible. For Satan, the Holy Bible is forbidden fruit, and you should not read it because you will go astray, and your mind will be contaminated with myth and fairytale. 
   Beyond this, Satan will have you believing that Christians are trying to trick you.  That Christians are trying to lead you away from God, to lead you astray, and to get you to give up and come out of your religion.  To Satan, Christians are infidels---children of darkness---and you should have nothing to do with them.  In fact, according to Satan, Christians are worthy of death.  That Christians are simply not normal people and you should distance yourself from them as much as possible.  Satan will remind you of your baptism.  He will remind you of your salvation by a priest.  He will remind you of the day when you joined a religion and experienced goose bumps.  He will remind you of your education and how smart you are, and how you are such a natural fit in all of your social activities with all of your religious friends. 
   Neither does Satan want you to believe in all the evil of this world, nor to believe that there are evil people.  He wants you to focus on goodness and not ugliness. 
   Above all else, Satan does not want you to know that religion and false churches are Satan's favorite places.  Because Satan is invisible and because people do not believe in the reality of Satan, Satan is in the midst of all worship in those institutions, and the people do not know that Satan is there---which is precisely what Satan wants people to believe.  As the god of deception, Satan is being worshipped without the people knowing or believing that they are worshipping Satan.
   So now, do you believe that Christians are infidels?  That we are odd, or not normal?  As such, we tell the world about Christ as well as about Satan---while religion and false churches have nothing to say about Satan:  for Satan does not want himself revealed in religion and in false churches. 
   So then, will you believe in Christ, or will you believe in Satan, who is the god of religion and false churches? 
   But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:  in whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.  (II Corinthians 4: 4)

FOLLOW THE LEADER

   What is there about truth that is difficult for people to accept?
   There are three answers to this question:
      ONE:  For thousands of years, the minds of people have been hidden from truth by the power of religion.  Thus, it is in religion where people have been seduced to believe that it is the place to go and receive an alternative method of reaching a higher power, a place to receive forgiveness of sin, and a place in which to gain heaven.  As such, the minds and imaginations of people abide in a world of fantasy and make-believe by the persuasive power of human personalities in the powerful position as head of religion:  as ministers and priests take on God-like characteristics in order to deceive people to following them.  And people, being seduced, follow them and do their will.
   SECONDLY:  For thousands of years, the minds of people have been hidden from truth by the power of politics:  as leaders of human governments convince people that their governments will take care of them.  Led by people with charming personalities, trustworthy, and promising to lead people out of ashes and to new frontiers, especially with the message of peace and prosperity.  Like religion, however, the leaders of politics want to rule and dominate people, while their brothers in religion do likewise.  Because of their power of persuasion, politicians create a world of fantasy and make-believe in the minds and imaginations of people, and people, being seduced, follow them and do their will. 
   THIRDLY:  Over the past sixty years, the minds of people have been hidden from truth by the power of electronic entertainment:  by movies, television, books, and music.  And people, being seduced, follow the messages and messengers of movies, television, books, and music as people abide in a world of fantasy and make-believe. 
   Added together, the world of religion, politics, and entertainment operate as a tripod, or a three-legged stool:  as each of them, working together (though they appear to be independent) to seduce the minds and imaginations of people to accept a world of fantasy and make-believe. 
   Added together, these three work together to divert the minds of people from Almighty God:  and to accept the knowledge of religion, politics, and entertainment as truth instead of God:  and to convince people that man has a better way, that man can fix all human problems, and that man will arise to be invincible:  that man will eliminate poverty, disease, sickness, and pave his own highway to heaven, thus opening a New Age by a New World Order. 
   What a trap!
   This system of deception worked for Nimrod at the Tower of Babel, it has worked for thousands of years, in Rome and in other cities, and it is working even now all across the earth. 
   This system is a childlike game of fantasy and make-believe, a game that we call Follow the Leader.
   But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:  In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.  (II Corinthians 4: 3, 4)

A TALE OF FOUR HORSEMEN

   The world of drugs, pornography, prostitution, and pedophilia could easily be called The Four Horsemen of the Underworld, galloping to and fro across the earth while generating more financial revenue than all of the companies and corporations of the world combined:  while destroying the pillars of civilization by destroying the minds of children and adults.
   The Four Horsemen of the Underworld have been operating as if they are invisible to human eyes because the news organizations of the world have been instructed to look the other way and to direct the attention of people to other matters:  fires, shootings, bombings, political and religious scandals, hurricanes and tornadoes, and terrorism. 
   Hollywood and television have also contributed their roles as agents of a global cover-up by turning the attention of people to entertainment:  Watch television.  Watch the news.  Watch another movie.  Play another video game. Do not think for yourself.  Do not engage your mind in something as silly as another conspiracy theory.  Go to sleep and go to work.  Tell your children another bedtime story, another tale of fantasy and make-believe.  Your government and your religion will take care of you. 
   While you were sleeping last night, hundreds of women, girls, and boys were either sold or captured, then drugged by the merchants of drugs to become sex slaves in the world of pornography, prostitution, and pedophilia.  Many will be murdered in order to harvest vital organs for illegal transplants as if these human lives are no more than laboratory rats.  Many of these captured will also become human sacrifices on the altars of Satanic religions worldwide.
   Trillions of dollars are produced every year by The Four Horsemen of the Underworld, out of which is arising a New World Order that is going to fix everything without God, a system that will produce world peace without God, total equality without God, and a system that will be everything evil people have been wanting to do throughout human history, which is a global empire of religion and politics without Almighty God, Creator of the universe.
   Not many people are watching this story unfold in front of our eyes:  and we who are watching are considered to be radical fundamentalists.
   In computer language, the world is only a click away from a global tyranny.  And when the false messiah stands up, we can be sure that television will be watching!
   Remember the words of our Lord Jesus Christ on the day of His crucifixion?
   Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.  (Luke 23: 28)
