Breaking the Grip of Catholicism

Many Catholics live under the fearful grip that the teaching of the priests and nuns have had on their lives. Many thousands of Catholics have experienced a death hold by believing the teaching of the Roman Catholic Church that there is no salvation outside the Roman church. Thousands have attempted to contact dead saints, having been taught to believe in their help. The haunting type of mystical experience that results from such sin clings to their souls for years.
 These and other appalling snares that Catholic dogmas impose on souls must be understood in the light of Scripture in order to be free from them. This Richard Bennett does as he sensitively discusses this topic with former Catholic and now Christian Pastor, Joe Flahive.

Frustrated in Catholicism Fulfilled in Christ

Patricia Allen grew up in a strict Catholic family, doing all the required things of the Catholic Church, but had emptiness inside, and a longing to know who God really was. This carried into her adult life, until one day the Holy Spirit came and convicted her of sin, and by grace she believed on Jesus Christ alone. Thus she was born again becoming a fulfilled child of God.
Now she continues to grow in knowledge and faith and prays that the light of the Lord will shine through her, and that others will come to know Jesus Christ as their personal Savior! This is a most interesting interview, which you will find to be compassionate and cordial.

Beyond Drink and Drugs

Tim Brown was born in 1953, and by the age of 14, and a Catholic boy, he was drinking weekly. Along with alcohol, by age 16 Tim was totally out of control and using drugs of all types. So it was for the next 20 years of his life, including his time in the military. Tim’s interview with Richard Bennett is a most interesting account of a man that overcame deep addiction. He not only overcame it, but he now has a totally new energetic life in the Lord.
Not only is Tim free to live with thanksgiving in his heart, the useful experiences from his devastating years are now used to rescue men who are caught in the addiction trap. Tim on his Website states his purpose. “To see substance abusers become fully devoted followers of Christ. The only way to find freedom, deliverance and true peace is through a vibrant relationship with Jesus Christ. It is this relationship which frees a man from sin, including substance abuse.”

Lost in the Church – Secure in Christ

The remarkable story of Mark and Trisha Parrent. Mark grew up in a devout Catholic family and faithfully served as an altar boy. Nevertheless, he sensed that something was missing in the emptiness of his ritualistic prayers. His wife Trisha was from a strict Polish Catholic background that took pride in Catholicism’s advancements in American life in the 1960’s. Subsequently, however, personal difficulties and family tragedy struck.
By the grace of the Lord, surviving these, Mark and Trisha found security in Christ alone and not in the Church. As you watch and listen to this inspiring interview we encourage you to make Mark and Trisha’s message known to your family and friends.

Biblical Renewal for a Catholic Marrage

Mark and Shawn Prosser were a typical Catholic couple. Their joy and glory were the Catholic sacraments. Their lives were founded on the institution of the Roman Catholic Church. As they had children and began raising them, doubts and sins started to distress them. So began their journey to biblical faith. The life of faith, by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, bore great fruit in Mark and Shawn’s lives.
Not only is their own marriage now stable, they give great insights into what a biblical marriage really is. Many Catholics live with deep guilt in their marriages.
