Welcome to CERM. CERM stands for Church Education Resource Ministries. Its purpose is to provide resources for pastors, church workers, and students of the Bible. CERM is a Conservative Evangelical/Fundamentalist web ministry written mostly from a evangelical theology. CERM began in May of 2006 as a resource website to aid other Christians looking for brief and concise information on a wide variety of Biblical & Theological topics. CERM holds to the essential Fundamental doctrines of the Christian faith. CERM does not endorse legalism which sadly is all too common in traditional and Fundamentalist churches and educational institutions.
Sadly in the Church today many pastors are no longer teaching the bible. CERM recognizes this failure in Christendom, and has realized from both experience and research that most Christians are not prepared to handle the scriptures (2 Tim 2:15) and with most Christians the Word of God is not their authority (Heb 4:12) as it should be. So CERM's focus is on providing resources for people interested in the Word. The main objective of CERM should be to introduce someone to a topic and let them go out and do the research. CERM is not in the business of spoon feeding, like so many churches are doing these days. So you will often find brief articles on subjects on CERMS website. We do not ever plan to provide a 100 page article on a subject here (unlike some other web ministries) as this is way too much for the average person to read over a computer screen. Most CERM articles are brief and formatted for reading on a computer screen. In your time on CERM please do examine what you find here and compare it to the scriptures. See if what we say is biblical. See if we preach the true gospel, and true doctrines held by orthodox believers in Christ.
CERM also stands in opposition to false "Christ's" or "antichrists," and "Spiritual Terrorists." Some of these groups are Mormons, Oneness Pentecostals, The Way International, the JW'S, Unity School of Christianity and other such workers of Satan. CERM has a cult prayer list, where you may pray for the cults. CERM has been challenged and attacked by many. The biggest attacks have been from Charismatics and Word of Faith Charismatics. Some well known leaders in Christendom have attacked CERM. From the King James Version Only Movement (Peter Ruckman), from the Emerging Church Movement (Dan Kimball), and from the Word of Faith/Third Wave movements both (Randy Clark) and (Bill Johnson). CERM has also been repeatedly attacked by some cults. From the OneNess Pentecostal cult an apostate named (Steve Winter). Although many have come against this ministry the Bible says that God promises his protection. Isa 54:17 ESV "no weapon that is fashioned against you shall succeed, and you shall confute every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD and their vindication from me, declares the LORD."
If you are a member of one of the many cults, please remember than my intention is only to preach what the bible says (2 Tim 4:2-4). What the bible says may and will offend you (1 Cor 1:18, 23) but hopefully after the offense you will be moved by the Holy Spirit to repent and turn to the God of heaven.
Eternity is a long time to be wrong.
