Hannah presenting her only son Samuel to Eli
In the world today there is a severe shortage of love and truth.
Truth is in short supply and compromise is rampant.
In 1 Samuel in the Old Testament of the Holy Bible is an account the life of a Jewish priest Eli, who was the mentor of the famous Jewish prophet Samuel.
Hannah, Samuel’s mother was barren. Hannah desperately wanted a son. She would come with her husband Elkanah annually from their village in the Mountains of Ephraim to the temple in Jerusalem. At the temple, Hannah would weep and pray about this desire. She would not eat due to her desire for a son and distress.
Such was Hannah’s distress and pleading in prayer that Eli the High Priest thought she was drunk. Eli asked her how long she would be drunk and to put the wine away from her.
Hannah replied (see 1 Samuel 1:15). “No my lord, I am a woman of sorrowful spirit. I have not drunk wine or intoxicating drink, but have poured out my soul before the Lord”.
In those days it was the woman’s primary aim to bear a son for her husband because in those tribal days of war and peace, the leadership, warrior status and inheritance was on the male side. Hannah wanted to bless her husband with a son and also to make her husband great and proud of her. It was a great honour and pleasure for a man to have a son, as it still is today.
Hannah made a pledge to God. Her pledge was that if Almighty God would give her a son, then Hannah would dedicate her son to God for all his life. God blessed her with a son and he was named Samuel.
When Samuel was weaned he was taken to the Temple and delivered to the priest Eli. Hannah and her husband Elkanah went home. Samuel stayed with Eli. “But the child ministered to the Lord before Eli the priest’.
As Samuel grew older God began to give him prophetic messages. One of them was quite disturbing. Eli knew God had been speaking to Samuel. Eli asked Samuel to share the messages in their entirety without fear.
The disturbing message was that Eli was to be judged for the sin of compromise because he hadn’t kept his two sons Hophni and Phinehas under control. This might sound harsh. However the sanctity and success of Israel depended on good strong leadership. If Eli’s sons were dishonourable, they were not fit to lead Israel spiritually. Eli was responsible for this. And so in time his sons were slain in battle and a seriously overweight Eli fell off his seat and died on hearing this news.
In recent blog articles I have canvassed the sins of Pastor Frank Houston. Frank’s sins were homo-erotic activities, pedophile activities, anger and personal attacks and degradation of others. All Frank’s sins were sins of compromise from God’s Laws and Holy Word. They were committed while Frank was a leading AOG (Assemblies of God) pastor in first New Zealand and then in Australia. It is one thing to sin. It is another very serious thing to sin while a Christian pastor or when ministering in church. It is another awful, unmentionably horrid act to sin against a child. It is another indescribable, incredibly dangerous thing before Almighty God to sin against a child while a prominent Christian pastor.
It is the grace of God that Pastor Brian Houston, Frank’s son and Head of the Hillsong Movement was allowed to be a prominent Christian Pastor when he father had been so horrid. In God’s eyes, Pastor Brian Houston was not brought to task by God for his father’s many sins.
Another example of compromise was canvassed in my recent blog article on the Roman Catholic Charismatic Movement. We compromise when we fellowship with those who don’t obey the truth of God’s Word. The Catholic Charismatic Movement is a compromise between bible truth, the Holy Spirit and the doctrines and mythology of the Church of Rome.
So many people live in the shadows of deception, lies and half-truths. Compromise is the grey cloak of evil. It is the shadowy apparel the leads to darkness and the destruction of human joy.

Don’t Call Me Brother and his 2nd book by Austin Miles exposes AOG’s/AG’s for being highly homosexual and child molesting, which they are. Got a call from pastor, who said go right now to the library and check out these books; he will confirm everything you’ve been saying and confronting and letter writing. Called my favorite used bookstore and they had both books, so drove down and got them. Austin Miles would write a great book NOT only how the AOG’s operate but basically the false church at large (meaning all denominations behave this way). Would come along and write basically the same items, just different people and sent it to correction list of men that I dubbed The Round Table. Sad, to say these men had been on a hardcore correction list since 2000. David Wilkerson been on list since 1992 until the time of his death.
Have my own book offers. Will say this regarding AOG’s, they should NOT Exist. They are a very EVIL organization and very murderous, spiritually, mentally, emotionally and even physically. Would consider their regime very schizophrenic and that would be over the people. AOG’s gave you there God, there Jesus, there unholy spirit and yes they are f_cking the people and the children and have been saying it for years. NO fruit in what they are doing. They do not believe in Apostolic and or the Prophetic, when one of their preacher’s confronted about nothing about those two gifts in there brochures and history and home office told him “they don’t believe in that doctrine”; pastor responded well Jesus does. Based on Leonard Ravenhill and Arthur Katz’s written works, aog’s should NOT exist. Murderous leadership=very jezebelian has murdered many a gifted person. It’s about your tithe money keep their nasty, evil, dead regime in business and there mentally ill pastors who don’t live in truth. You could have been born/died in the movement (won’t consider them a church ever) and they would have NEVER gone through the Bible completely once and the people are content and tithe to that?
Not to mention, your gifts, alms, offerings, time, labor of love and service to the church they are paying you back by molesting, raping, sodomizing and metaphorically murdering your children and we are all God’s children no matter what age. Foursquare, Calvary Chapel etc operate the same way.
Type in on any church and or the name of a pastor abused by.
Controversial articles by the name of any church and or pastor.
People’s negative feedback on the name of church and or pastor.
There is a lot of people who have NEVER recovered from their false shepherds, wolves, hirelings. Not to mention murdering of gifting.
Example: did above about a year ago and read OVER fifty hours EACH on Calvary Chapel, Mike Bickle, etc. Report church abuse to rickross.com, Bill/Jackie Alnor, Trinity Foundation in Dallas Texas attn: Pete; ask him for more agencies to report to and L.A./N.Y Times, media. Read many Blogs and Post your comments. Like on Cosmic Cathedral “Tyler I thought I Knew” and other blogs regarding posted definition of church cult and books to help you crawl out of the abyss of church abuse. More later.
Read Dick Sutphen’s article on Christian brainwashing=so true. Also, you can’t get well mentally, emotionally, spiritually, physically until you LEAVE the false, manipulating controlling dead church and it’s false leadership EXIT and RUN. Revelations would talk about. Always research a matter and then research where it’s coming from. Don’t be a stupid brainwashed Christian, one who cannot and will not think for themselves.
Numbers 6:24-26.
