Some Good, Some Bad, and Some Downright Ugly

I’ve been quite busy lately with practicing my pipes and playing for events. Added to that have been too many doctor visits.  Meanwhile, my collection of links for articles I feel important to be shared just kept piling up. So this is a long post, but there are some good articles for edification and many for learning what is going on with false teachers/teachings.

Starting off, here is another thought-provoking article about the so-called revival at Asbury.

A saying that sounds pious but isn’t- “Let Go and Let God”

Here’san interesting article about the translation of the Greek word ecclesia. What is interesting to me is that I have always understood the translation “church” to mean the individual assembly — a congregation. That’s what I see in the context.

Jesse has a pretty good examination of the Catholic Eucharist.

Everyone I Don’t Like is Literally Gothard. Too many people are making false accusations against teachers they don’t like, comparing them with Bill Gothard’s teachings. This article gives a review of some of Gothard’s teachings so as to settle such false charges.

What’s in the Gap?  An excellent examination of the “Gap Theory” and why it doesn’t work. (One problem exists when it ascribes the name “Lucifer” to Satan—Lucifer was never Satan’s name.)

The Church should not be using cultural relevance and entertainment to reach people.

Hillsong is NOT a church or even a group of churches—it is a business, and even a cult with false teachings of every sort.

Why Christians shouldn’t bow to “homosexual marriage.” Excellent speech, worth the five minutes to watch.

Pay attention to Clint Eastwood—3:27 minutes of good lessons using satire.

This is what you get when the person who really got your church started is a well-known false teacher—Saddleback church ordaining women pastors. Rick Warren severely abuses Scripture to support women pastors.

Beth Moore has literally become a cult leader. She has led millions of women (and, surprisingly, men) astray, and her latest antics prove just how apostate she has become.

The Gospel Coalition teaches only the “gospel” of Satan. Disgusting, absolutely disgusting.

Do you need any more evidence than this to prove that Andy Stanley is an heretical apostate? How about another bit of evidence?

False teacher Steven Furtick is selling tickets for a preaching/worship tour—for hundreds of dollars!!!

The Catholic Church, as a whole, continues to be more and more apostate because the man in charge, the Pope, does nothing about those who violate not only Catholicism but also real Christianity.  There is a priest in Ireland who allows a Muslim call to prayer during Mass. Then we have a Catholic university denying a formation of a group on campus because the group believes in only two genders — male and female!  OH, and how about a Catholic school that suspended a student for saying men and women are different?!!?

Stay away from Lysa TerKeurst/Proverbs 31 Ministries. (note that even though the article is originally dated in 2015, the article itself is continually updated).

Bible Project’s Tim Mackie believes Penal Substitutionary Atonement stems from pagan sacrifice rituals. There are some really heretical beliefs out there, so beware.

Proof that Joyce Meyer is a false teacher and most likely is unsaved.

Kenneth Copeland and Heidi Baker—two of the biggest frauds and worse false prophets out there.

In The Chosen, Peter says God makes mistakes!  ANNNNDDD, the guy who plays Jesus on The Chosen is about as theologically apostate as it gets.
