Friday, May 11, 2001 - The words of Colorado-based doomsday-cult leader Monte Kim Miller have resurfaced on an Internet site
that offers copies of hundreds of 90-minute sermons spanning topics from "The Thigh Master" to "A Man Named Eve." "It's the first time we've had any kind of reply from him since he left Denver in 1998," said Denver police officer and local cult watcher Mark Roggeman. "Maybe his pride was getting to him that the world wasn't hearing from him anymore." Miller, 46, the leader of Concerned Christians, left Denver in September 1998 with a following of about 70 members, who had quit jobs and abandoned financial obligations.

A False Prophet's denial:
For those of you who do want to serve the Lord, don't be deceived by the amateurish and pathetic fabrication of a continually repeated story that I predicted an earthquake would strike Denver, Colorado, in the United States, in October of 1998. Individuals opposed to me, and the media in opposition to me, contributed to, participated in and delighted in the wickedness of manufacturing and / or perpetually repeating the earthquake lie for the purpose of publicly striking at the very issue of whether or not I am a prophet of the Lord. I am not only a prophet of the Lord; I am the prophet of the Lord, the direct spokesman for the Lord. The Lord speaks to me mouth to mouth, as he did with Moses.

Commentary:
Theologically, Concerned Christians is a cult of Christianity. It does not represent historical, biblical Christianity.
