This address was given by Dr. Paul M. Elliott to a meeting of the American Council of Christian Churches on April 28, 2014. Excerpts:

Great Sermon! A timely msg for this time in which we live. Your analogy of an unholy alliance resonates perfectly with what is happening in our country and around the world today. May God give us the strength and courage to stand for the truth of His word. Thank you and God Bless You for this courageous sermon.

Great Sermon! This is a much needed message today for the true flock; Dr. Elliott presents a biblically based message on the unholy alliances taking place - we need to separate from much of what calls itself 'evangelical' or 'christian' and cleave to Christ. May the Lord see fit to use this message to warn and encourage His sheep.
