This short post brings out how we are seeing a growing cult of pseudo-Christians perverting the grace of God.

Open Air Preaching MUSEP 7-19-09

CRN contributor Dustin Segers tells us in this post:
The following videos document some of our outreach done at Lindley Park two weeks ago before one of the Music in the Park concerts. Sadly, this was a very apathetic crowd. Most of the people that make up this crowd simply don’t want to be bothered with the [...]

Here, and then Gone

 This short piece concerns the issue of so-called gay marriage.
Within you’ll see that when emerging “pastor” Connie Waters can’t answer the Biblical text presented in my argument against this perversion of the marriage covenant, then she simply denies that I personally exist; seriously.

Our dear brother in the Lord John Bunyan who lived in 17th Century England, was no stranger to the ups and downs of this life and God gave him a special insight into His workings through these high and low points in our own pilgrimage to the Celestial City. Bunyan was a gifted preacher and [...]

How dare these infidels defy Rick Warren! Yet, Christian Post is reporting Islam just is not in tune with Warren’s recent bull:
At least six churches were destroyed in the last few days in Northern Nigeria as a result of the violence by members of a radical Islamic group. Militants of the group Boko Haram, which translates to [...]

Here you’ll see gay affirming “pastor” Bakker’s homopressive dream demolished by Scripture.

  A short post, which uses a One News Now story as its backdrop, and gives you a few succinct reasons as to why those arguing for gay marriage cannot do so from the Bible itself.

And the ”panel of judges that included Michelle Williams from the Grammy-winning group Destiny’s Child; J. Moss, one of Gospel music’s most prolific talents; and Mitchell Solarek, one of the music industry’s most respected executives” decided the winner is…
Christian Post fills us in:
A Virgin Islands-born worship and youth leader was crowned winner of the Gospel Dream [...]

The SBC Today blog shares exerpts from an article originally published in January 1922 edition of the Southwestern Journal of Theology by Dr. L. R. Scarborough, Poisoning the Fountains of Truth.
In Part One, Dr. Scarborough highlights the critical role of churches and the challenge of calling a false teacher into account:
because the churches are independent [...]

Doug Pagitt does a puff piece for the upcoming Christianity 21 Conference.
Twenty-one of the most innovative, ground-breaking voices in the church today will each be giving a 21-minute presentation. And in an unprecedented move, all of the speakers at this event are women — this is not a women’s event, but it is [...]

The Unfathomable Depth of Spiritual Blindness

God’s truth, which is the truth and there is no other, is true regardless of whether people believe it or not. I pray for wisdom and discernment every morning before I go to work. God answers this is surprising ways sometimes. One way He does this is when I receive an email or comment from [...]

Rob Bell Biffs It on Suffering And Creativity

Pastor John Chisham, of Riverview Alliance Church and a CRN contributor, begins this piece by telling us: 
I think Rob Bell, more and more, is running away from true Christianity. Honestly, I believe he is becoming (if he is not already) an enemy of the Gospel…just another example of post-modern pastors turning to psychology rather than [...]

 The unloving conduct of a minister of Rob Bell’s MHBC illustrates well in this post Bell’s “gospel” isn’t so loving after all. Don’t kid yourself, it’s also love with an agenda: Rob says it; I believe it, that settles it.

Have you wondered why when talking about the Christian faith with young people today they look at you as if you’ve just been dropped here from another planet.
It’s because they’re listening to those preaching antinomianism, and who’ve made an idol out of God’s grace, such as “pastor” Jay Bakker. Meet the new Pharisees, but in reverse.
And [...]

Some pastoral thoughts on new forms of liberalism creeping into mainstream evangelicalism today which are simply tolerated within it’s Rodney King ministry philosophy of: “Can’t we all just get along.” How unlike Charles Spurgeon, whom evangelicals profess such respect for.

 Shades of the “Christian-Muslim” pastoress last year, Christian Post informs us:
An Episcopal priest who practices Zen Buddhist meditation was not approved to lead the Diocese of Northern Michigan. Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori said on Monday that the Rev. Kevin Thew Forrester did not receive the required consents from bishops and standing committees to be consecrated. His [...]

Another Jesus Trip with John Crowder

In the video below John Crowder attempts to ”teach” us about “Holy Spirit.” But what Crowder actually ends up doing is giving us a convincing demonstration of someone following “another spirit.”

Chad Taylor: A New Breed Pied Piper

There’s no shortage of false teachers roaming the visible church looking for prey. Another who’s been brought to our attention is Chad Taylor (seen below). Taylor, kind of a Kim Clement-lite, runs in the same spurious circles as does John Crowder as evidenced by:
Apostolic/Prophetic Round Table with Chad Taylor, John Crowder, Farris Baker, Howard Matheney, Matt Gonzales. [...]

God is My Strength and Portion Forever

For those who labor in ministries dedicated to rightly dividing the Word of Truth, there will be times in which it seems that no one is “with” them as they were before. This is the period known as “out of season.” However, we are commanded to preach the Word in season and out of season [...]

Unfortunately Jay Bakker is the one who chose to involve me in his dealings with my friend and fellow CRN contributor Chris Rosebrough. In this piece you’ll see the exchange Bakker had with Rosebrough via Twitter today.
Rosebrough offered to meet Bakker in a public debate on homosexuality but, as you’ll also see, Bakker refused content to continue playing [...]

Life is a continual hunt or search for circumstances that will result in contentment. That is the focus for the natural man. When societal norms become relaxed from the “bonds” that restrict certain forms of self-expression” we witness rising levels of aberrant behavior that are simply attempts by seekers of this “contentment” to find, experience, [...]

John Crowder Mocks Scripture

Over at Slaughter of the Sheep our friend Crystal brings to our attention the following concerning John Crowder And The New Mystics:
John Crowder mocking Scripture?  That’s nothing new, right? Crowder has obviously heard the criticism of his method of “ministering,” and this video is his response. 
He and his wife, Lily, made this video to address [...]

From Defending. Contending. aka DefCon:
There are few left who continue to be a voice in the wilderness. It seems that warning the flock and taking a stand against the relentless tide of apostasy, heresy, lukewarmness, easy-believeism, and countless other cancers that are plaguing the Body is often met with resistance by the mass lemmings of [...]

Those listening lately will have heard many evangelical teachers speaking about “God’s Dream” for the world etc. etc.
If you thought this was simply a coincidence and/or a harmless phrase, this article by Christian researcher Sarah Leslie should quickly dispel that “dream” for you:
Early futurist Kenneth Cauthen focused on a utopian “New Age” as the ideal future [...]

In this clip from Hells Bells 2 below Christian apologist Eric Holmberg shows you that what’s discussed in Ekstasis Worship And Kundalini Dance is really nothing new at all:
