An Ungodly Passion for The Passion

Christians in the pew are being seduced by their pastors and high-profile Christian leaders into supporting a movie which is nothing less than a giant ecumenical coup by the devil and his handmaiden, the Vatican. There is no excuse for those leaders. They have seen The Passion of the Christ in special previews, yet they continue to promote Mel Gibson's Romish perversion of the gospel.

Pagan movies
I'm thankful for people like Pastor Ovadal who speaks out for right when so many are so wrong. I have not seen the Passion, nor am I going to see it. I've had people tell me that I can't evaluate the film without seeing it. But I don't need to steal a car to know that auto theft is bad. A movie about Jesus written, produced and directed by a pagan worshiper is a bad thing. Same reason I've not seen any of the Rings movies, Tolkien was a devout pagan also. We Christians have to draw the line somewhere! We can't fill our minds with paganism and expect to serve God to the best of our ability.

Thank you do much! I pray God continues to use you mightily for His kingdom in exposing darkness.
I do appreciate you naming names of those who follow heretics with unbridled passion!

I went to the movie after the urging of leading Christian people. I am a former Roman Catholic. I was very uncomfortable with all the Catholic dogma being promoted. After hearing your message I now understand these feelings. Thank you for your message.

It is sometimes difficult to remember why some of us take the particular stances that we take in relation to the Word of God. Especially when we look in the paper and see how many $$$ the
"Passion" has already amassed. I am alarmed, but no shocked at the many well-known leaders in Christianity who are promoting A MOVIE to be as instructional as the The Word of God. These are indeed the last days, and unfortunately, entire local Church bodies (those with itching ears to hear)will be led by false Prophets and misguided Apostles, and given over to reprobate minds. I pray for our nation, and for those who will be saved. Thank you for your most timely message to the body.

Thank you Pastor Ovadal for your uncompromising sermon and for your desire to speak forth God's truth! I have friends who think I am foolish to oppose this movie! They say "look at the good that will come of it." May the Lord raise up more Godly, courageous Pastors like you!

Amen,
Thank you for the truth Brother in Christ! I testified in church.
I have been admonished by an elder, my bible teacher, my dear teacher cousin, and a former catholic "Born Again" sister for my stance against this sacrelig. It is a travesty!
I say to them, as do you, "Read your bible."
Until all hear,
Howell

What a blessing to find a Pastor who is willing to speak the truth about this ungodly film! Mel Gibson doesn't need our applause. He needs our prayers. Thank you Pastor Ovadal for your uncompromising sermon and for your desire to speak forth God's truth!

POWERFUL Sermon!
Sermons like this one have convinced me to not go see this movie, and to encourage other Christians to avoid it. At the very least, ONE good thing is going to come out of this movie: Lots of Christians will be educated on the TRUTH about the Roman Church and images of Christ.

I had been thinking that a movie which seems to have so much opposition must be alright. I thank Ralph for exposing the heresy of the think. I will not now go see it, and I will work to expose the heresy to others who think it is a good movie. Even if they do discount what I say, when they go see it they will plainly see the heresy in it. Let God be the judge.

Thank you for a great sermon at a time when I have recently met with great opposition from my own pastor who has openly applauded the fact that "people are talking about 'Jesus' more than ever" and says we should use the movie as an evangelistic tool just as Paul did in the Acts 17 Mars Hill encounter. But God forbid that I should promote or have fellowship with those who do promote the movie, a blasphemous work of Roman Catholic antichrists. By disagreeing with my pastor over this issue, he has now asked me to leave the church because "he can no longer be my pastor". In short, I have been "excommunicated", according to a common practice that only a pimp of the whore of Babylon is capable of doing. But God has confirmed that I honor Him by leaving this church to His judgement which will come swiftly. I am also now convinced that this man, a former Roman Catholic, may actually not even be born-again because he really has not left his pagan "roots". So be it! I now shake the dust off my feet and move on in Christ according to Amos 3:3. I am confidant that the triune God will soon lead me to worship where He and His Dear Son are truly honored by the preaching of His Word through the power of the Holy Ghost. Pray for the members who remain under this Diotrephes!

    Important: SermonAudio tags will appear on some of the messages found on this web site. We are not in any way affiliated with SermonAudio! Please read the following explanation.
    Those who listen to archived sermons or Heart of the Matter programs on this web site will notice that, currently, when they download some of those sermons and HOM programs that a SermonAudio logo appears. This is because Pilgrims Covenant Church messages were for a number of years posted at SermonAudio. But due to the increasingly deep compromise of SermonAudio in posting sermons from ministers unfaithful either in doctrine or practice or both, and also on account of the many corrupt conferences advertised on SermonAudio, we withdrew from SermonAudio. However, I did not realize when posting our sermons and programs on that site on a page for which we paid that the management was tagging our MP3 files with the logo of SermonAudio. We are working to remove the SermonAudio logo from all of the sermons and programs posted on this site which were previously posted at SermonAudio. However, this takes much time; so we felt it important to post this explanation and also this warning concerning SermonAudio, a web site with many sound ministers, but also many which are corrupting the Lord's blood-bought church.
