This book brings insight into one of the most fearful, mysterious and little-understood prophecies that was spoken by Jesus of Nazareth in Matthew 7:21-23 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven...And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. KJV This quotation makes no easy message for a book, but as a gifted inspired writer Wlazlak is up to the challenge. He confronts the disturbing issue head -on, does not avert his gaze and presents the reader with a new and convincing interpretation of Christ's message. This expository teaching goes deep into the motives of those who profess to know God by placing burdensome rules upon church parishioners. His new book will be highly controversial among Christian readers: too sharp-edged, to thought-provoking is the message to just go down easy; too truthful maybe are the conclusions that he proclaims.

Satan always works in one of two ways to deceive: perversion or diversion! Satan cannot create anything! He can only try to pervert what God has already created. If perversion doesn't work, he then attempts to divert (distract) in order to destroy, or at least diminish the Word of God and the work of God in our lives! This book exposes the schemes, plans and designs of the evil one in his attempt to distract, divert, persuade and pervert the "church" by using the weapon of "religion!" The church today looks nothing like the early church in the Book of Acts! Most of what we do in church on Sundays is a fraud, a sacrilege, a powerless shadow of the early New Testament church. In fact, it seems as though the church has been high jacked by the evil one. This author gives us insightful clues as to how and why this happened. And he explains why God truly hates religion, but He loves relationship!

Modern misguided evangelical empire-building at the institutional church level has systematically for the most part, attempted to replace Christianity with its own brand of organized religion. This subtle deception has taken more than 1,700 years to develop and permeate society and typical Christian thought, but develop well it has. So well, in fact, that even some of the greatest ministry personalities of our time have made the mistake of thinking that Christianity and organized religion are one and the same.but they are not. What's wrong with organized religion you say? Did you suppose that's what Christianity was all about? Did you suppose that its church building origins are biblical? And what's the fuss anyway? Does it really matter if the Lord's people are more 'organizationally" or 'institutionally" minded than they are 'relationally" minded? The author's opinion is that Purpose dictates the correct usage of what God designs. If we want to correctly use something God has designed, we must first discover God's original intent and purpose behind the creation of His idea. This work deals with the financial 'skeletons in the Church's closet" and goes behind the scenes for God's design for the Body of Christ known as the 'Church."

'Deception in the Church' brings a timely warning to both Christians and non-Christians to be alert to the strategies satan uses to keep us from the truth. The book traces the historical development of Christianity, the battles for the faith against the legalism and tradition of the Jews to the influences of Greek philosophy and Gnosticism. It reveals the heresy and corruption of the faith by Roman Catholicism and the undermining influences of science and humanism to post-modernism and New Age thinking.

“The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy.” John 10:10a NKJV satan is the god of this world (see 2 Corinthians 4:4 and 1 John 5:19), is the “father of lies” (see John 8:44), and his job description is to “steal, and to kill, and to destroy.” In order to achieve his aims, he most often lies to us and deceives us. “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds.” 2 Corinthians 10:4 NKJV satan often disguises his forces to make them look like natural problems so you’ll fight them with natural weapons. But you cannot fight a spiritual foe with natural weapons but with spiritual weapons, i.e. speaking God’s word to the devil and his demons. “For satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light.” 2 Corinthians 11:14b NKJV Unfortunately satan can disguise himself as an “angel of light,” so it is possible to be deceived by an innocent and apparently correct Christian teaching (see Matthew 24:4, 24:5; Mark 13:5, 13:6; and Luke 21:8). Often these inaccurate or incomplete teachings focus on God’s love and blessings (thus appealing to our flesh and so lead us astray (see Mark 13:22 and 1 Timothy 4:1) and do not mention His greatness, or our need to obey Him and have a reverential fear of Him. This book aims to help reveal satan’s lie and deception strategies and so empower Christians to live the Christian life that God intended. R.
