(The team planned to set up this Saturday. However, they could not get a spot, so they are planning on setting up as soon as possible in November. Below is an update from Mike with more details about the last time they set up the outreach table at Venice with free materials to lead people to salvation through Jesus.)

Dan arrived at approximately 11:30 and brought a large canopy...Just after we put up the canopy, a couple stopped by the table and looked through the materials. The book Against the Wind was displayed in the center of the table, so the lady picked it up. I told her that the author, Brian Flynn, writes about how he and his girlfriend studied under a prominent psychic to learn how to tell fortunes. After a number of months of training in the techniques of meditation, the psychic introduced them to their “spirit guides” who would tell the fortunes of their clients. I told the lady about how Brian ultimately discovered that these spirit guides were really demons in disguise...Dan smiled at me and mentioned that she was probably into the New Age and didn’t want to think that she might be involved with demons, but that it’s obviously something she needed to hear. "...believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are from God..." 1 John 4:1
"For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ, for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light." 2 Corinthians 11:14
The Lord Jesus warned against "false Christs and false prophets" (Matthew 24:24). Peter warned against false teachers (2 Peter 2:1). The test is always that of complete fidelity to the Scripture and only Scripture as determinative for Christian faith and practice. (Isaiah 8:20, 2 Timothy 3:15-17; and 2 Peter 3:3, 15-18).
