Jesus Christ is Lord, and I'm not bound by any oath that is in violation of His law, and His law says let
your yes be yes and do not take any oath lest you come under condemnation! Now, I really don't care
if Masons get upset by that, as long as my God does not condemn me. And, every Mason ought to
know that, too.
In the Third Degree, the candidate's hands are placed on the Bible, "binding myself under no less a
penalty than having my body severed in twain, my bowels taken thence and burned to ashes and
scattered to the four winds of heaven that there might not remain tract, trace, or remembrance of so vile
and perfect a wretch if I should violate this, my obligation." Would you let me pastor in your church if
you knew I took that oath? Only the Masons would have. God forgive me; and He has. That's why I
speak out! And, you can find out and verify everything I'm saying. You think it's a secret society? In
your local library, you can get the ritual book; you can get the information about Masonry. Also, there
are numerous books now available in almost every Christian bookstore.
Do you still think <strong>Freemasonry</strong> is a Christian institution? Do you really think a pastor ought to be
involved in it? Are you going to be proud to tell others that your pastor is a Mason? Or, are you going
to be proud to tell them that he got out?

Dear Christian, if you're a Mason, I plead with you to hear my words. Run from <strong>Freemasonry</strong> to save
your own soul. And women, if you're in a Masonic-related body, the Amaranth, the Eastern Star, the
White Shrine, run from them! The base and foundation of Masonry is rotten. You don't want to be on
the fourteenth floor of a building with a crumbling foundation, do you? Well, let me tell you – it's not
just the foundation that's crumbling – the structure is too.
The Eastern Star symbol is the inverted five-pointed star. Let me tell you about this star. One of the
founders of the Eastern Star, the man who wrote all the ritual, Rob Morris, chose that five-pointed star.
He selected it for a specific reason out of mythology: it is the Goat of Mendes! And, ladies, did you
know that the Goat of Mendes is the god of lust? How blasphemous that Morris would choose for his
wife and his children a symbol of the Goat of Mendes, the god of lust.
Well, they don't think of it that way. An extended debate in Michigan yielded this result on whether or
not to change the symbol: "This emblem, which has been our symbol, although evil, has been
redeemed by the good works of its members." "This symbol, although evil" – who said it was evil?
The Grand Chapter of the state of Michigan admitted it! "Has been redeemed by the good works of its
members" – biblical salvation is through Christ alone, never by good works!

When I came out of Masonry, I called my son as he got home from school and told him that I'd left the
Masonic Fraternity. It was just one year after I was elected Grand Chaplain, and he stood in the
highest place of honour and placed on my neck the Grand Chaplain's jewel. He said, "Dad, I've been
praying for that for two years." A son of mine had been praying that I'd come out of Masonry! He
even had a videotape to explain Masonry in the house! But, because it wasn't the right time, he let it
go.
