Tim Tebow The Compromiser?

I have personally been a huge fan of Tim Tebow as an athlete but more importantly, as a  Christ confessor. However, it appears he now is descending into the  hollow core abyss of becoming compromised. Seems he covets high-profile popularity over the Christ like virtue of being persecuted for righteousness sake.

Tebow recently  cancelled  a commitment to speak at First Baptist Church, Dallas and did so based upon the false premise of “unconditional Love”. Meaning, he believes that the Pastor of the influential Church should never have taken a convictional stand against the evils of our day. This may very well be the beginning of the end for ole Tim. Covetousness cannot be sanctified in the name of un-principled love. And First Baptist is no hate group. Pastor Jeffress is in fact my new hero.

We may be watching Tim Tebow fall  into the ranks of Rob Bell, Brian McClaren Tony Campollo, and Tony Jones. And a sad tragedy it is.

“After opposition arose against First Baptist, Dallas, TX and pastor Robert Jeffress for what were called “controversial” stands against homosexuals, Muslims, Mormons, and other groups, Tim Tebow, who was scheduled to speak there, has just cancelled his appearance in a series of tweets.

@TimTebow: “While I was looking forward to sharing a message of hope and Christ’s unconditional love with the faithful members of the historic…First Baptist Church of Dallas in April, due to new information that has been brought to my attention, I have decided to cancel my…upcoming appearance. I will continue to use the platform God has blessed me with to bring Faith, Hope and Love to all those……needing a brighter day. Thank you for all of your love and support.” God Bless!Sent Feb 21, 09:09 AM”

Drunken Worship Leaders

It’s a sad day in the Kingdom!

Antinomian ”worship leaders” using their so-called liberty as occasion for drunkenness and  vile vulgarities has now become all to common. Little wonder, local churches reject biblical standards  and flagrantly refuse to administer anything akin to restorative discipline. If you do, you are labeled a cult. If you don’t, you are called a “grace” church.

The Reformers called these libertine types “false churches”. I stand with the Reformers!

rgh

“…it is increasingly common to hear about worship leaders getting drunk after church services and dropping f-bombs while they boast about their “liberty” in the Lord.”

“One of my closest ministry colleagues posted this on his Facebook page last year: “There was a knot in the pit of my stomach this afternoon after I hung up the phone with a friend of mine who pastors a growing church in our city. He relayed to me an anguishing story of how some members from his worship team were hanging out with other worship leaders in a key local church. He reported to me that his team came back from that hang-out experience quite perplexed as the f-bombs were flying from the openly and unashamedly drunk worship leaders.”

Another pastor told me that he sent a number of young people from his congregation to train in a ministry school known for its worship. All of them came back to his church with a drinking problem, the result of hanging out with other “worshipers” in the ministry school. And on and on it goes.”

Denomination Refuses To Discipline Lesbian Pastor

 

An attorney says that In failing to discipline a clergywoman who “married” her lesbian partner, the Presbyterian Church USA is sending a clear message to the denomination.

Laurie McNeil, at that time a pastor at Central Presbyterian Church in Newark, New Jersey, married her partner in Massachusetts before an Episcopal priest. Afterwards, charges were filed and reached the denomination’s highest court, which ruled that the facts of the case do not justify disciplinary action.

Attorney Whit Brisky of Mauck & Baker represents some of the Presbyterian churches who object to the inaction.

“The ruling of the General Assembly Permanent Judicial Commission effectively said that there were really no rules for what Presbyterian pastors can do outside of Presbyterian worship,” he details.

“So they’re free to get married in some other church with no repercussions at all,” even though same-sex “marriage” is banned by church law, notes Brisky.

He contends this ruling sends a message to members of the denomination.

“Well, I think this certainly at the very least makes our message garbled and confused,” the attorney offers. “Or at worst, in effect, the denomination now approves of homosexual conduct and same-sex marriages.”

Brisky further suggests it also conveys the end of the line for any future litigation on the same issue.

Equally Sharing Housework Leads To Higher Divorce?

Alright brothers,  if you were schooled in pre-marital classes to believe that helping  wives around the house would be key to a peace filled-sexualized marriage , think again.

The results of a new study released Thursday found the divorce rate among couples who shared housework equally was 50 per cent higher than those where the woman did most of the work.

The co-author of the study revealed sharing equal responsibility for work in the home doesn’t necessarily contribute to contentment.

Duh!

Joel Osteen Confronted By Soledad O’Brien On CNN

If you haven’t watched this interview, you missed a great opportunity to see Joel deceptively squirm, crab crawl, slyly dodge, waffle, then bob and weave. To say that Osteen was uncomfortable is putting it mildly.

Personally, I was embarrassed and righteously infuriated to watch such ill-equipped handling of life’s hard questions from unbelievers. Joel’s anti-biblical clichés, soft shoe anecdote’s, and selective abstraction of biblical texts simply were no match for the CNN panel.

Osteen’s uncharactered ethos of “lifting up” resulted in him encountering full force “smack down”. Think that’s to harsh, watch it for yourself!

Rob Bell Affirms Practicing Homosexuals As Authentic Christians

During a Livestream Q/A, Rob Bell is asked to comment on the negativity  christians demonstrate  toward the gay community. Bell’s answer is simply predictable.

Below is an excerpt of the Q/A posted over at  Apprising Ministries.  But even better,  click on the Apprising site below and scroll down to the video so you can  to actually watch  Rob Bell respond to the question in his own words. His body language is quite interesting. 

Please notice Bell never compassionately shares the gospel in any shape,form or fashion. He remains absolutely silent about Christ salvific work that provides grace based repentance unto redemptive life  transformation. 

Nope, Ole Bell just can’t manage to articulate anything of biblical revelation as the answer to  fallen man’s human condition.

To that I say,”Anathema!”

rgh

Man in audience: On a more serious note. You’re here in West Hollywood.

Bell: Yes.

Man: [Kind of] the epicenter center of the gay community in southern California.

Bell: Yes. Yeah.

Man: A lot of the words that Christians have for us have been very negative.

Bell: Yeah.

Man: What do you think about that?

Bell: Yeah. Thank you for asking that. We’re here in West Hollywood, epicenter of a lot of gay culture and you’re asking—some people are gay (pause) and you’re our brothers and you’re our sisters, and we love you.

We love you. (audience applauds) And it’s really, really, really, important that we’re clear. I had a good friend—when I was in my teens—who was gay. And hadn’t told anybody. An’ I was the first person he told.

And (pause) probably the most loving, generous, holy—one of the most—he was extraordinary, is extraordinary. But at an early age I was like, some people are gay; an’ God loves them just like God loves me.

And they’re passionate disciples of Jesus, just like I’m trying to be. So, let’s all get together and try to do something about the truly big problems in our world; that I believe Jesus would us to band together, and tackle together.

So there you go.

Episcopal Denomination Is Anathema!

“Bishops can begin using “The Witnessing and Blessing of a Lifelong Covenant” on December 2, when same-sex couples can exchange vows and rings. Each bishop will decide whether to allow the rite within each local diocese, and a conscience clause bars penalties for bishops who oppose the rite.

“… Proponents offered stories of gay friends who would benefit from the rites, while opponents suggested the denomination was contradicting its own doctrine.”

“…the Episcopal Church approved new anti-discrimination language for transgendered clergy candidates and church members. Some Episcopal dioceses already ordain transgendered people or elect them to positions of parish leadership.”

“By adding “gender identity and expression” to its nondiscrimination canons, those who are transgendered shall not “be denied rights, status, or access to an equal place in the life, worship, and governance of this church.”

Charis-magic Indulgences

Image via Wikipedia

“Reformation Day” is October 31^st and is on the calendar of the historical Church in Remembrance of the Reformation period. In 1517, Martin Luther posted his famous “95 theses” which ultimately “outed the Catholic Church” for the heretical practice of selling indulgences. Protestants and particularly Evangelicals, trace their roots to the movement inaugurated by the courageous Luther.Why was that an issue and what does it have to do with us now?

The  selling of indulgences  provided a source of income  for the undertakings of leaders in the church. In short, peddlers would sell grace for cash. God’s acts of favor supposedly would be dispensed to the people when they paid a fee and received the prepared document that was the guarantee of the grace to be conveyed. Make the payment, receive the item, and by this exchange,  supernatural grace would be mediated through the manufactured item. Thus, the selling of the favor of God pure and simple.

Protestants agreed with Luther that such a practice must be wholly rejected as a worthless and fraudulent money-making scheme that perverted grace for financial gain.

The following ads demonstrate why we need contemporary Luther’s. One is from the well received Elijah List ,the other from a false prophet named Master Prophet Jordan. Finally, charismatic minister  Sandra Kennedy.

What do they all share in common? The selling of Charis-magic indulgences.

Joel Osteen Theme Song!

Joel Osteen, the popular televangelist of Lakewood Church in Texas, is coming under fire for his  ”gospel of prosperity“.  He isn’t alone by any means. Mike Murdock, Creflo Dollar and a host of others are guilty of perverting  “The Gospel” into another gospel to get wealthy.

 Paul the Apostle said it like this, ” To them….godliness is just a way to become wealthy”. [1 Timothy 6:5]

Chairsma News recently posted about Joel:

“Critics are hounding Osteen for limiting his teaching on sin and for preaching a success gospel. Osteen’s newest book Every Day a Friday: How to be Happier 7 Days a Week is just one item critics are using to establish that the Lakewood pastor focuses too strongly on personal fulfillment.”

So In honor of Osteen’s new book, I thought this clip would be a great “Theme Song” for  purveyors of his sinfully-flawed, reductionistic gospel.

Enjoy!

Juanita Bynum “Types In Tongues?”

 “Whacked Out” seems to be exponentially leavening leadership in the charismatic community.  Seems the Corinthian church has now become the paradigm for emulating  goofiness.

 

Juanita Bynum is a self-professed prophetess who recently  sparked social media attention when she appeared to invent a new means of praying for her followers when she began ” typing in tongues.” 

 

Like Pat Robertson, she is simply whacked out!
