Mormons have always made a big deal about their church leaders not being paid, while the rest of “Christendom” has paid pastors/minister. It has at times been a point of bragging in many things I’ve read. Well, it’s interesting that they make these claims when their leaders have lots of income, and it’s probably a lot more than most pastors receive when in their pay. Take a look at this article and see just how much LDS leadership isn’t paid.
More on the story about John Mark Comer’s teaching on polytheism is brought to you by Apprising Ministries. It just keeps getting thicker.
Some interesting things about Mark Driscoll and how he views heretics like Joel Osteen - he thinks there are worse things than what Osteen teaches, and so we shouldn’t be giving Osteen’s teaching so much attention.
The “Insider Movement” is another of those recent innovations which compromises the Gospel in an effort to win over unbelievers in various pagan religions. Kevin DeYoung examines a recent Christianity Today interview of a missionary operating within the Insider Movement to appeal to Muslims.
In Texas it looks like an Episcopal Church assembly will be the first in that state to perform same-sex fake marriage rites. Of course we all know that there will be no church discipline, because the Episcopal Church as a denomination is apostate and long ago gave sanction to same-sex unions, as well as homosexuality in general.
The Lutheran Church, Missouri Synod, takes care of their in-house discipline. It seems one of their pastors joined in with an ecumenical prayer vigil in Newtown, CT after the murders of the school children. Representatives of Muslim, Jewish and Bahai religious faiths were there. A Christian pastor (let alone a layman) should know better than to join in prayer with unbelievers, who are praying to a false god. The pastor issued an apology.
I came across this interesting article explaining how church denominations end up endorsing homosexuality. This is the future of the apostate Church.
How about the latest Roman Catholic idol? The world’s largest statue of “Mary” has been unveiled in Bolivia.
Here is some humor, which is actually quite true, about “How to write a worship song (in 5 minutes or less).”

I have read comments on both sides of that LCMS event and aftermath within the denomination. Those attacking denomination president are long on emotion but short on biblical acumen. All the venom came pouring forth after the issue had been talked through and resolved by those immediately affected. The spirit of syncretism is alive and well in the church--at least in the West.
