1. Karma (by any other name)
by Sandy Simpson

http://www.deceptioninthechurch.com/karmaDVD.html
According to Wikipedia:
"Karma means action, work or deed; it also refers to the principle of causality where
intent and actions of an individual influence the future of that individual. Good intent and
good deed contribute to good karma and future happiness, while bad intent and bad deed
contribute to bad karma and future suffering. Karma is closely associated with the idea of
rebirth in some schools of Asian religions. In these schools, karma in the present affects
one's future in the current life, as well as the nature and quality of future lives - or, one's
samsara. With origins in ancient India, it is a key concept in Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism,
Sikhism, Taoism, Shintoism, Ching Hai and others."(emphasis mine)

2. His Name, The Only Name
by Sandy Simpson
http://www.deceptioninthechurch.com/hisnameDVD.html
Zechariah 14:9 NIV The LORD will be king over the whole earth. On that day there will be
one LORD, and his name the only name.
The reason I wrote this article based on Zech 14:9 is that I was reminded of how many
so-called Christians, who are influential in the churches, are promoting the worship of
God in the names of other gods.

3. Replacement Theology On Steroids
by Sandy Simpson
http://www.deceptioninthechurch.com/steroidsDVD.html
The root of this teaching is that Israel no longer holds the distinction of being the
tree from which the Root of David (Jesus-Rev. 5:5, 22:16) came. But when you
add the fact that the Inclusivist WCGIP proponents are now saying that God
planted hundreds of different trees, cultures all over the world, that are not
connected to the natural branch, tree and Root, you have what can only be
termed Replacement Theology on steroids!

4. Those Who Do Not Lead Christians To Maturity
by Sandy Simpson
http://www.deceptioninthechurch.com/maturityDVD.html
The Scriptural definition of maturity is to learn to discern truth from error so that
the Christian will no longer be double minded, blown about by every wind of
teaching and by the schemes of crafty people. But the problem today is that so
few Christian teachers are feeding their flock's solid food. They are serving up
milk and, because of that, people are starving. Yet they often don't even know
they have been on a starvation diet. Amos 8:11 "The days are coming," declares
the Sovereign Lord, "when I will send a famine through the land - not a famine of
food or a thirst for water, but a famine of hearing the words of the Lord."

5. “… and all liars”
by Sandy Simpson
http://www.deceptioninthechurch.com/andallliarsDVD.html
Lying is a problem for all people (Ps. 116:11). We are all sinners (Rom. 3:23). Those of us
who are Christians are "sinners saved by grace" (Eph. 2:8) indwelt by the Holy Spirit in our
"new self" (Col. 3:10). But we still live in our "old self" which we must "put off" (Eph. 4:20-
25) by taking up our cross daily and following Christ (Luke 9:23). The difference between
unbelievers and those who are truly born again is that believers no longer "practice sin" (1
John 3:9, see my Bible study on 1 John!) They have the indwelling Holy Spirit (Rom. 8:11)
who convicts them when they lie (John 16:8). True believers then repent (1 John 1:9) and
go on to "practice righteousness" (1 John 2:29) with the Lord's help. The unregenerate,
the false brothers, or those who have fallen away (Gal. 5:4, Mark 4:17), practice
lying. They practice a lifestyle of lying because their consciences are seared (1 Tim. 4:2)
and the Holy Spirit, when convicting them, cannot break through the hardness of their
unrepentant hearts (Eph. 4:17-19, Heb. 3:13).

6. Four Books That The Enemy Has Used
To Corrupt Christianity
by Sandy Simpson
http://www.deceptioninthechurch.com/fourbooksDVD.html
The four books that have changed the church by giving an introduction to the
false teachings of the New Apostolic/Latter Rain (NAR), the Emerging
Church/Contemplative/Catholic Mysticism (EC), pragmatic Church Growth (CG)
methodologies of C. Peter Wagner, Robert Schuller and Peter Drucker, and the
teachings of the World Christian Gathering on Indigenous People (WCGIP) are as
follows: Surprised by the Power of the Spirit by Jack Deer, Celebration of
Discipline by Richard Foster, Purpose Driven Church by Rick Warren & Etnerity In
Their Hearts by Don Richardson.

7. Night Marchers and UFOs on the Big Island
by Sandy Simpson
http://www.deceptioninthechurch.com/nightmarchersDVD.html
With the resurgence of the old religion of Hawaii and the continual invocation of
Pelé and other "deities" for years in the secular culture and even in churches with
regards to worshipping 'Io, is it any wonder that those beings are beginning to
manifest again? In a story called "Night Marchers" on the Kawaihae site and in
a YouTube video on the same subject, eyewitnesses claim all kinds of sightings
that they think are the warriors, ancestors and demi-gods of Hawaii coming
back.

8. “They Will Believe The Lie”
by Sandy Simpson
http://www.deceptioninthechurch.com/theywillbelievethelieDVD.html
2 Thessalonians has always been an interesting passage to me for a few
different reasons. What is "the lie" that is talked about here in verse 9 and
11? What are the ways that "wickedness deceives those who are perishing" and
how long has this been going on or does this only begin to happen at the coming
of the lawless one? In what way does "the lie" cause those who do not believe
the truth to "delight in wickedness“?

9. The First Nations Movement
Deceiving The Nations!
by Sandy Simpson - 4-DVD Series
http://www.deceptioninthechurch.com/ipmdvd.html
The "Indigenous People's" (IPM) or "First Nations" movement is an unbiblical
movement teaching heresies and doctrines of demons. It is being spread
worldwide by YWAM, Don Richardson, John Dawson, Richard Twiss, Terry
LeBlanc, Daniel Kikawa and many other adherents. The IPM or World Christian
Gathering On Indigenous People is full of the false teachings of the Third Wave,
New Apostolic Reformation (NAR), Word-Faith, Dominionism, Latter Rain and
many other false theological systems. But it does have it's own distinctives that
are driven by the works of Daniel Kikawa, Richard Twiss, and Don Richardson in
particular. They are teaching Christians to "redeem" their cultures by
worshipping their former gods, pretending they are YHWH.

10. Poking Holes In Sola Scriptura
by Sandy Simpson
http://www.deceptioninthechurch.com/solascripturaDVD.html
There are a number of the leadership of the Emerging Church (EC) who do not
believe that the Bible is the highest authority for the Christian faith. Most do not
believe that the Bible is inerrant in the original manuscripts and many do not
acknowledge that the Bible is our highest revelation. Yet this is a core doctrine
over which true believers and false brethren must separate.

11. The Question Of Dominion
by Sandy Simpson
http://www.deceptioninthechurch.com/thequestionofdominionDVD.html
I am writing this article as an apologetic against the Third Wave, Latter Rain,
Word of Faith and Reformed Theology teachings that the Church is to rise up and
take over the systems of government, businesses and every other aspect of life.

12. Shepherd or Hireling?
by Sandy Simpson
http://www.deceptioninthechurch.com/shepherdorhirelingDVD.html
The Bible lays out the definitions of both an overseer (under shepherd) and a
hireling. John 10:11-13 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his
life for the sheep. But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the
sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the
wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. The hireling fleeth, because he is
an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.

13. Testing Music In The Church
by Sandy Simpson – 2-DVD Series
http://www.deceptioninthechurch.com/testingmusicDVD.html
Too many churches today are allowing music to be used in their services that is
not glorifying to the Lord and can actually be a hindrance to the teaching of
sound doctrine. Pastors and leaders should be using their leadership role to test
what is being played and sung in their churches. Though some are quick to test
preaching and teaching from their pulpits, many ignore the music being used in
the same services. This is a tragic mistake. Music is a powerful medium. It is
something that effects deeply the body, mind and emotions. It is a proven fact
that music often stays with a person far longer than what is taught or preached.
Songs roam around in our heads, especially if the melody appeals to us. What is
often overlooked is the serious impression music makes on people, and the
teaching they are getting over and over again as they allow the song to repeat in
their minds and on their lips.

14. Examine Yourselves then Hold On!
by Sandy Simpson
http://www.deceptioninthechurch.com/examineyourselfDVD.html
2 Cor. 13:5 Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test
yourselves. Do you not realise that Christ Jesus is in you - unless, of course, you
fail the test?
People who call themselves followers of Christ or "Christians" and claim they are
born again must believe certain things. If they do not then they fail the test of
faith. They can claim they are born again all they want and "once saved, always
saved" but if they fail the test of faith there is no eternal security.

15. “Blasphemizing” The Bible
by Sandy Simpson
http://www.deceptioninthechurch.com/blasphemizingthebibleDVD.html
I am going to go over an article I wrote back in 2006 in preparation for the book I
wrote with Mike Oppenheimer called 'Idolatry in Their Hearts'. This book is an
apologetic against the false teachings of the World Christian Gathering on
Indigenous People movement, the Emerging Church and the New Apostolic
Reformation which got their ideas from the book "Eternity in Their Hearts" by
Don Richardson. At the time that book came out no one really saw the
dangerous ideas Richardson was promoting.

16. Resources For Pastors
by Sandy Simpson
http://www.deceptioninthechurch.com/resourcesforpastorsDVD.html
I present an edited version of part of that article on this DVD, particularly dealing
with English Translations of the Bible. Translation is a very detailed endeavor and
should only be undertaken by those with a proper education in that subject and a
sound doctrinal background. I read a few books on that subject and it helped me
understand the complexities involved. Hebrew is a rich language so it is hard to
distill one Hebrew word down to one English word. Greek is a very technical
language and it is also not easy to translate. This is why it is imperative to use
the good English translations out there for comparison along with a good
concordance and Bible dictionary.

17. A Tale Of Two Kingdoms
by Sandy Simpson
http://www.deceptioninthechurch.com/2KingdomsDVD.html
There are two kingdoms being taught in many churches today. Teaching about
one of the kingdoms is on the decline while the other is being promoted all over
the place. I am warning Christians that they need to check out who is using the
word "kingdom", the books they have been reading and recommend on building
"the kingdom", the people they have been hanging out with at conferences, and
what they mean by "the kingdom".

18. Bible Studies In Discernment

20. A Whole Lot Of Wishful Thinking These Days!
by Sandy Simpson – 2-DVD Series
http://www.deceptioninthechurch.com/wishfulthinkingdvd.html
In this DVD series I want to detail a number of beliefs people have these days that
have no basis in Scripture. I am going to roam all over the map, so to speak, and
try to give fairly short answers on a number of topics and also give you useful
links to articles that will help you deal with any particular issue. It is truly
amazing how many false ideas people cling to without giving a thought to what
the Bible has to say on the subject.

21. Signs Of Apostasy In The Churches
In The End Times
by Sandy Simpson – 2-DVD Series
http://www.deceptioninthechurch.com/signsdvd.html
There are many signs of the great Apostasy, or falling away (2 Thes. 2:3)
indicating we are living in the end times (Mt. 24: 3-14) I am going to go through
some indications of the Apostasy in the churches as a follow up to the signs of the
times in the world.

28. From Church To Emerging Church
by Sandy Simpson – 2-DVD Series
http://www.deceptioninthechurch.com/ecdvd.html
The issue of the Emerging Church and it's introduction into many churches and
mission organizations has reached a critical point. Many do not understand what
is being leavened into churches by the EC leadership. Many would be shocked to
know their belief systems involve Universalism, New Age, defense of
postmodernism, Interfaithism, and many other false doctrines. In order to reach
out to this generation the EC leadership is proposing a whole new "map" to deal
with what they perceive is a lack of understanding on the part of the churches on
how to communicate. EC proponents believe the "scripture" for today is evolving
and must change in order to reach postmoderns.

29. Idolatry In Their Hearts
by Sandy Simpson & Mike Oppenheimer - Book
http://www.deceptioninthechurch.com/idolatrybook.html
Does having eternity in your heart mean that you know God and are His child?
Could Gentile cultures understand the Gospel from the stars? Did God create
man's cultures? Has God always been in the process of redeeming cultures from
the time of Babel by placing in them a true revelation of Himself? Is there the
worship of YHWH in all cultures and religions through the names of supreme
beings? Have all cultures always had a way to make things right between them
and God? These questions and many more are answered in this book that
addresses the false teachings of The New Apostolic Reformation regarding
missiological methods as being carried out by many agencies including the World
Christian Gathering on Indigenous People, YWAM, and many Bible societies.

30. The New Apostolic Reformation

Peter Wagner, Cindy Jacobs, Chuck Peirce, Dutch Sheets, Bill Hamon, Jack Deere
and others.

31. Lessons In Forgiveness
by Sandy Simpson – Book
http://www.deceptioninthechurch.com/forgivenessbook.html
Through the years I have been presented with many opportunities to forgive.
Sometimes the situation was so severe that it took me some time to forgive and
start the process of healing for myself, and eventually for others. I learned that a
Christian needs to forgive other people even if they have not repented of their
sins. That can be really hard if we let it be hard. But if we give our burdens over
to the Lord, He will carry them and that frees us up to treat other people with
love, compassion, and be in the right frame of mind and heart to set them up for
reconciliation with Jesus Christ. That does not mean we tolerate their sin. We
simply forgive them for what they have done to us, whether perceived or real,
and move on to looking for ways to redeem them. We can then present to them
the "truth in love" even when we have to rebuke them.

32. Finish The Race
A Study On Christian Maturity
by Sandy Simpson & Juanita Simpson – Book
http://www.deceptioninthechurch.com/finishtheracebook.html
This book was written to help believers to realize the absolute necessity of
growing to maturity in Christ. Many churches are urging Christians to push aside
discernment in favor of experience. It is our hope that this book will inspire many
believers to fight the good fight, finish the race, and keep the faith (2 Tim. 4:7)..

33. The New Apostolic Reformation
by Sandy Simpson – Book

commentary of the DVD series is not in the book, but there are many more

available on CD-ROM.

34. Letters To The Church
Equipping Overcomers for the End Times
by Sandy Simpson – Book
http://www.deceptioninthechurch.com/7churchesbook.html
This books is a fitting manual for the Revelation Christian. All the precepts are in
the seven letters in Revelation 1:9 - 3:22 to help us keep the faith, stay in sound
doctrine, and reach out to those who are perishing. I hope and pray that this
book will help the reader to be an "overcomer".
