In 1968, I was installed a Worshipful Master of a Masonic Lodge of about 600 men. As far as I was concerned, I had reached the pinnacle of life. As a Worshipful Master, I had total autocratic authority over the affairs of my Lodge with accountability only to the Grand Master of my State.

The only belief requirement of Freemamsonry is not that one must believe in the True and Living God, but rather, that one must believe in the existence of a ‘Supreme Being’, which includes the ‘gods’ of Islam, Hinduism, or any other world religion.

Confidence in the secret orders and the teachings of the Freemasons have always tended toward the embracing of a false hope of salvation through good works and improved moral service. They also omit the name of Jesus when they use biblical texts in their rituals.

Most Masons join Freemasonry to be part of what they view as a prestigious, socially influential organization. However, their society is based on misrepresentations and false explanations.

Freemasonry is rampant in the Church, both in the Evangelical Church as well as other denominations. Freemasonry is a brotherhood — a secret society — of men who, as they claim, come together to work for the common good of humanity.

The setting was simple; a near-empty restaurant in a sleepy prairie town with two respected community members across the table. I knew what they wanted: my involvement in a local organization, for I had been approached numerous times about joining. As an energetic young man in my mid-20s and very involved in the community, I was a perfect candidate . . . so I was told.

Masonic authorities such as Albert Mackey, Albert Pike and Manly P. Hall have been very open about the occult influences within Freemasonry. But many practicing Masons (Norman Vincent Peale among them) reject the idea. Why the difference? Are they “intentionally misled by false interpretations,” as Albert Pike claimed in Morals and Dogma?

Since Freemasonry has attempted so strenuously to claim that they are just a “good ole boy” fraternity that does good works and has a good time, most people will be shocked to learn the bitter truth behind that facade.  Freemasonry certainly isn’t “free”. It could cost you your soul. Although they will deny it to you at first, most Masons find out in later degrees that the great lie of Masonry is exactly the same lie Satan is living.   Masons repeatedly are directed to the “Mystery Religion” and the time man found God in nature.  Almost none of Masonry’s teachings come from Christianity.

To answer the question of whether a Christian should join the Masonic Lodge, we must first answer two questions: (1)What does Freemasonry (Masonry, the Lodge) teach regarding God and salvation? and (2)Are these teachings at odds with Christianity? I often hear some Christians say, “I don’t agree with Masonry’s teachings, but Masonry does good works for our community.” We can all agree that Masons do good works, but this doesn’t settle the issue. Masonry’s good works stem from Masonic teaching, so we must consider its teaching. Furthermore, many groups do good works, but this does not justify Christians joining these groups when their core teachings contradict the Bible.
