Five Year Anniversary – excatholic4christ

Note: We’re preempting our usual Friday apologetics series for this anniversary post. Next Friday we’ll return back to our regular series.

Today marks the fifth-year anniversary of excatholic4christ. Wow! It’s absolutely amazing to me that it’s been five years since I started blogging. I’m grateful to the Lord for this humble ministry of (A) Gospel outreach to Roman Catholics and (B) warning evangelicals of the dangers of ecumenism with Rome.

I’m also grateful for every visitor to this blog. May Roman Catholics come out of their false church with its false gospel and accept Jesus Christ as Savior by faith alone and may evangelical Christians awaken to the great spiritual dangers of ecumenism with Rome.

I truly appreciate all of the friends of this blog. My subject material is admittedly controversial in this era of increasing ecumenical accommodation and compromise. Thank you all for your encouragement in the Lord!

Each year at this time, I usually present the twenty-five most-viewed posts of the previous twelve months. Well, that list was always dominated by older posts that had been circulating around the internet for awhile. So this year, I thought I would change it up a bit by presenting two lists; A) the twelve most-viewed posts of the past year written prior to July 17, 2019 and B) the twelve most-viewed posts of the past year written in the last twelve months. Yup, absolutely I’m a nerd!

All titles are hyper-linked to the respective articles.
