This website is hosted by Robert Wurtz II. This blog is intended to be a means of putting into writing some of my musings about New Testament Christianity in a post modern culture. We are instructed in scripture to, "Gird up the loins of our minds."
Genuine repentance is always required when sin is high-handed.
In this article, we discuss the nature of Saul, who was completely given over to pride, envy, ambition, and hatred. He would destroy anyone in his own way, including his own son. This is the savagery of pride, ambition, and envy run-amuck.
Jezebel was a notorious woman in the Old Testament commonly known for being a usurper. She killed many prophets and seemed to get by with whatever she did. Unfortunately, Elijah didn’t live to see the judgment that God would bring upon her. He ran from her and hid in a cave. Jezebel brings enormous discouragement because it seems as though these types get by with whatever they do, and God never judges them, but he will eventually judge them.
The Danger of Shipwreck Robert Wurtz II Â The bellows are burned, the lead is consumed by the fire; the founder is smelting in vain: for the wicked are not drawn off.

In "Satanic Discouragement," Robert Wurtz II explores the biblical account of Elijah, focusing on his struggle against Jezebel's oppressive influence. Despite his previous victories, Elijah finds himself overwhelmed and ready to give up, feeling alone and threatened. The article draws parallels between Jezebel's manipulative tactics and modern-day figures, emphasizing that such challenges are not merely flesh-and-blood battles but spiritual ones. Wurtz highlights the dangers of those within the church who may appear righteous yet harbor destructive intentions, likening them to the biblical Jezebel. Ultimately, he encourages readers to remain steadfast in their calling, listen for God's guidance, and trust that He will address the "Jezebels" in their lives.

When Tolerance Becomes Sin Robert Wurtz II But I have this against you, that you tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess and is teaching and seducing my servants to practice sexual immorality and to eat food sacrificed to idols (Revelation 2:20) Â However, no one spoke openly of Him for fear of...

The Way of Cain Robert Wurtz II Â But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves. Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward,... Continue Reading →
The Enemy of Ministry Robert Wurtz II Â And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab, As the LORD God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word. (1 Kings 17:1 KJV) Â Elijah was a... Continue Reading →
