Blight of Denominationalism
by John J. Wipf
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Religion Non-Fiction
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
What purpose do all religions serve?
There are only two destinies after we die.
Do you feel like there is something missing in life?
Is Jesus Christ more than what is portrayed by status quo Christianity?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCLUSIVE EXCERPT:
The worldly philosophy has permeated the denominations to such a great degree that there is little difference in child training inside church compared to outside church. In the churches we went to, we were encouraged, and are still encouraged by those we associate with who are running in those circles, to not tell our children when they are being foolish or sinful. We might hurt their personalities. That is an enormous detriment in later years when the child is not used to being corrected and the Lord is convicting them of sin. The parents have already taught the child to hate correction; now, when it comes to the Lord correcting the child, the child will do anything they can to get away from the still small voice of the most gracious Lord.
John 3:19 And this is the condemnation,
that light is come into the world, and men
loved darkness rather than light, because
their deeds were evil.
If we would just look at it in the world’s eyes, it wouldn’t make any logical since either. Tell me in what court of law in this land is there no correctional judgment given. When a person has been raised in a family and society where you are not allowed to correct the child, then all of a sudden that child becomes an adult. When that adult is brought before the court of law and sentenced for X years in the penitentiary, he is not going to take that correction in the right spirit. Most times he is going to learn from the mistakes of getting caught and keep right on going around the law as best he can.
This generation hides themselves in video game, computer games, social media, conspiracy theories, porn—anything and everything they can find on their cell phones or tablets or anything of the sort. When life pressures build up or conviction builds up, alcohol and drugs can come into play, or ungodly music. The Devil will use anything to take that soul to Hell with him. That is why the Devil is working so hard in get into the family and break it up.

AUTHOR BIO:
John Wipf was part of the Hutterite religion for 18 years and was a member, college student, and a part time missionary in the Baptist denomination for 10 years. Other points of interest include:
●
Five years of theological studies (Baptist)

● Husband and father of 2 boys and 2 girls, and 1 taken to heaven before birth, and 1 on the way.
John Wipf married Faith in June 2013. Our goal is to start a cattle ranch (as a retreat) to help people with their relationship with Jesus Christ and to tell people about the gospel of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
Faith Wipf was born and bred a Baptist for 32 years. She then left with her “Honey Bear” John to begin their independent ministry. She is currently very busy raising four crazy, wonderful children and looking forward to waddling during the next few months. Homeschooling and the “dreaded” housework fill her days.
In the Blight of Denominationalism we cover part of our journey from religious bondage to true and free freedom in our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
Also covered in this book there are summaries of my study on some of the world’s renowned religions.
