We are able to provide quality educational materials
for church leaders who want to teach on the subject of Freemasonry.
Freemasonry is a false religion which has greater impact on the American
church than any other cult. Many churches are literally controlled by
Masons. While Freemasonry is present in a congregation, that
congregation cannot be spiritually healthy. This is all the more true
when Masons are in leadership or teaching positions.
We have a substantial library of authentic Masonic
documents produced by the authorities of Freemasonry, the Grand Lodges.
We make many of those documents, including
Masonic Monitors, available on CDROM. Because monitors are
published and distributed at the direction of the Grand Lodges, it is
impossible for a Mason to discredit the contents as authoritatively
representing Masonic teachings.
A source of excellent
presentation materials
Since 1993, Ephesians 5:11, Inc. has coordinated the
Ministry to Masons Conferences. Quite a
number of former Masons, seminarians, pastors and counter-cult teachers have
participated in these conferences. We have developed an excellent
library of video taped messages on various aspects of
Freemasonry. We have many more which are not listed in our on-line
catalog.
Many of the messages delivered at the Ministry to
Masons Conferences utilize PowerPoint presentations. Because the truth
about Freemasonry is so heretical, some people initially have difficulty
believing that Masonry is as evil and anti-Christian as it is. For
that reason, a great many of our speakers have included photographs of the
source materials they are quoting in their PowerPoint presentations.
When they speak at the conference or in a church using these materials, they
project the PowerPoint slides on a large screen. The pages from the
Masonic Monitors and other documents can be projected large enough for all
to see. Many times, the projected page is 5 feet or more high and
people from the back of the sanctuary are able to read the text in the
Masonic documents with their own eyes.
The purpose of including the source documents is to
establish and maintain credibility. If a speaker says only what he can
prove and shows the source document for every quote he uses, Masons and
others who defend the Masonic Lodge are not in a position to effectively
call what a speaker says into question. When the members of a
congregation have seen the Grand Lodge documents with their own eyes, it is
impossible for Masons to convince them that the pastor, teacher, or other
speaker does not know what he is talking about. When Masons attempt to
defend the Lodge within the church, educated church members know that any
defense of the Lodge must come at the expense of the Gospel and orthodoxy.
Our presentation materials place the source documents
on the right side of the frame, full length from top to bottom. That
leaves room on the left side for the quoted portion to be typed using larger
text which the speaker and audience may easily and quickly read. If a
question of context is to be discussed, the quote can be read in context in
the source document. Because it is virtually impossible to "take
something out of context" when the context is supplied, Masons won't
be able to effectively claim that Masonic materials are being used out of
context; they would appear foolish. A
sample of these presentation materials
is provided on-line so that you can see why they have such an impact on
audiences. The samples are contained in a PDF file. You will
need the Adobe Reader to view them. Of course, these PDF files do not
have the resolution of a 35 mm color slide (2742 x 4096 pixels). The actual
slides are quite impressive.
Why do we use slides rather than the newer technology,
the LCD projector? LCD projectors have substantially less resolution,
often by a factor of ten to one. We want the audience to be able to
read the source documents from the back of the room. Another factor is
cost. An LCD projector costs several thousand dollars.
Replacement bulbs are five hundred dollars and more! Slide projectors
are commonly available in churches, or can often be borrowed. A sample 35mm
slide will be made available to you if appropriate.
We have had many requests for copies of our conference
presentations. Quite a lot of effort has gone into the research which
is presented. A number of the presentations could be effectively
delivered in the church by a local teacher, provided they had the materials
and a good set of speaker's notes. Although we have been very
selective in the past in providing our materials to others, we have produced
presentation materials to pastors for several years. They have found
them to be among the most well researched and best documented materials they
have seen. Additionally, we have provided elders and deacons
with presentation materials for specific purposes. On occasion, we
have produced highly customized versions of our presentations to meet a
specific need.
We intend to continue to be selective in the
distribution of our 35mm color presentation materials, but we feel compelled
to share several of these presentations with qualified teachers and other
leaders. If you are a pastor, teacher, or other church leader who
needs to speak on Freemasonry we would like to assist you with research and
methods, if not with our presentation materials. Certainly, we are not
holding back knowledge of the facts concerning Freemasonry; this web site
exposes it very well and the Grand Lodge
Monitors are available on CDROM. The issue is one of limited
resources. Time is in short supply, there is much to do and all labor
is done by volunteers. It is important to include content and source
documents from your state Grand Lodge in the presentation materials if you
are to be most effective. We have the documents for most states and
can add the critical evidence to a presentation which you would deliver.
It is vital to use the proper documents and methods
when addressing Freemasonry in the church. You should make
effective use of Scripture to establish Truth. You should speak to
Masons about things they have seen and heard. The foundational
teachings of the Blue Lodge should be your focus. All Mason are
members of a Blue Lodge. By concentrating on the teachings contained
in the first three degrees of Freemasonry, the Blue Lodge degrees, you will
be able to speak to all Masons. If you focus on the Scottish
Rite, York Rite, or Shrine, you will only speak to what some Masons have
seen and heard. There are many areas which you would do well to avoid
- because the average Mason is not aware of that particular issue. The
Luciferian connection is a prime example. Masons have never heard the
name Lucifer in Lodge. Yet, there is a Luciferian
connection and we can tie it back to the Grand Lodges. Masons are
often looking for ways to discredit you, even if only in their own minds.
They are extremely defensive by nature and once they believe they have
discredited you, they can "justifiably" stop listening. Due to their
defensive nature you have only a little time during which they are able to
remain rational and effectively listen. If you speak to the proper
issues and you maintain credibility, you will be able to cause a sharp
contrast between Freemasonry and Christianity to form in the minds of any
Masons present who are subject to the leading of the Holy Spirit.
Our materials will put you in good stead to well
address the issue of Freemasonry within Christ's Church. If you feel
that you would like to consider our materials, please
contact us by email and provide a phone number where you may be
reached during evenings or on weekends. We will begin a dialog to
determine your need, desires and our potential to serve. If you do not
need to retain the presentation materials after you conduct the teaching, we
can spread the cost of the materials across multiple users. Audio
tapes of pastors and teachers using our materials are available as is
appropriate.
Educating members of the church destroys Masonic
secrecy. For Freemasons to work effectively in the church recruiting
new members and gaining positions of control within the church, secrecy is
vital. Secrecy is absolutely the greatest weapon in the Masonic
arsenal. If they can keep the Christian members of the church from
knowing the truth about Freemasonry, they will usually be able to posture
themselves as Christians. Once a Christian has seen Masonic documents
which teach a false plan of salvation, or other gross heresy, they look at
"Christian" Masons a different way.
Christian education is the key.
It is easier to keep a man out of the lodge than it is
to get him out.
