"Are you in needing of healing?"

That's the question Todd Bentley of FreshFireUSA ministries asked in his recent advert on FaceBook and Instagram.

Recently, BamBam advertised that you can buy his healing prayers so you can get miraculously healed. So if you want your kicked-in face to be healed, Todd's merchandise can heal you! Aren't you glad Todd Bentley can sell you his supernatural healing prayers on iTunes?

Bentley writes,

So much for the free gifts of the Holy Spirit being free.

"The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let the one who hears say, “Come!” Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life." Revelations 22:17

Do you have a "personal relationship" with Jesus like this?

This is what happens when people take their personal experiences and IHOP's false Bridal Paradigm too far. This is Brandon Barthrop from Red Letter Ministries (RLM) who holds his church services in a former crackhouse in Minnesota. (You can hear his wife Penny in the background.)

(Warning: MA - explicit language and disturbing sexual references.)

 

This is Barthrop's excuse for the above video:

“WARNING! This videos is a parable! NOT to be taken literally. The language in this video is symbolic! Glory! Having spiritual sex wit h Jesus should be just as normal to Christians as breathing, since we are 1 spirit. Intimacy has been so religiousized by demons, so let us break the barriers into the reality of what intimacy is: sexual union. The entire bridal paradigm and the mystery of marriage and consummation etc. that is in the natural is all symbolic of the ultimate union with God. Sex between a man and women in the marriage covenant is the physical manifestation of the spiritual marriage and spiritual sex between the Christian and their Lord. Glory! Orgasmic glory is here to stay as the Lord will never issue us a divorce certificate! Hallelujah! For more orgasmic glory visit Red Letter Ministries online garden: http://RedLetterMin.com/”"

C3 church leaders and staff "shake it off"?

Since reviewing a sermon from Phil Pringle from Christian City Church, Oxford Falls, Sydney Australia, it is worth advertising his church leadership and church/college staff.

(Warning: some people may find this video offensive.)

 

ESPN Sports Center-like "Church" Entertainment

What function does this Sports Center-Like entertainment fulfill in a Christian Church service? Does it draw people closer to Jesus? Does it help them understand sound Biblical doctrine? Is it a form of prayer or Christian fellowship? What is its function?

City Harvest Church caught in a bad... bromance

City Harvest Church in Singapore thought it was appropriate to be relevant about their relationship with Jesus. This is the church that bought you Pastrix Sun Ho (a.k.a. "Geisha").

 

The leaders of this church to this day are still in court over mishandling church funds of up to US$46.3 million.

Dating Naked??

The Journey Church in Queens, NY has a great marketing gimmick to help draw people to "church", they're starting a new series called Dating Naked and they've sent out marketing flyers to homes and apartments near their "church" to let everyone know. That purposefully shocking title will be sure to attract people to their "church".

Let the Sex "Sermons" Begin

It's February. That can mean only one thing...time for seeker-driven "churches" to fire up their sex "sermons".

Idolatry starts with I

Did you know that to bring revival to a generation, you need to bend your life in such a way that makes Jesus willingly follow you?

"Prophet" Micah Wood from the Ramp Church teaches how you can can start revival (5:40).

“Now the interesting thing is to me, there are many interesting things to me about God’s story – but one of the most interesting things to me is that all throughout the bible you find Jesus telling people to follow him:

“Follow me. I will make you fishers of man.

Drop down your nets and follow me.

Follow me. Let the dead bury their dead. You follow me.

Uh, you know, a man who sets his hand to the plough but looks back is not fit for the kingdom of God. You just follow me.

Peter, don’t worry about what John’s gonna do in his life, you just follow me.”

All through out the bible you see Jesus saying, “Follow me. Follow me. Follow me. Follow me.”

But here we meet a man named Jairus who is a ruler of the synagogue who doesn’t just live in such a way to follow Jesus, there’s something about what he does with his life of worship that causes Jesus to follow him. That Jesus all through out the bible that says, “Follow me. Follow me. Follow me.” And He meets one man that Jesus does not just say, “Follow me,” Jesus says to him, “I’m going to follow you”. Because genuine revival and genuine awakening and the genuine purpose of God for your life does not happen when we occasionally bend ourselves or push ourselves where Jesus is. Genuine revival and awakening and purpose happens when we bend our lives in such a way that Jesus is willing to follow us. And for years and years we’ve had a concept that’s long as we occasionally put ourselves in the middle of whereever Jesus is then we’re doing good.

But what’s really doing good is when you so develop a lifestyle of worship that Jesus and the presence of Jesus follow you around wherever you go.”

We've Seen Midgets Grow

Robert Tilton, in this video is faking speaking in tongues and falsely claiming to be healing people of different ailments.

The Crossing Church in Elk River, MN opened this past Sunday's "sermon" with this cartoon. Why? We have no idea. Clearly, lampooning Biblical stories, in Eric Dykstra's way of thinking, is an important part of evangelism.

Call us old school, but we believe pastors who preach God's Holy Word should treat it as if it is God's Holy Word.

“As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace: whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God” (1 Peter 4:10–11)

BTW, the Story of Moses is NOT about Moses. It's about God and more specifically, its about Jesus.
