“No one stands up and declares, “Let us worship me.” It’s subtler than that. It’s structural, cultural, and habitual. The stage grows larger. The man’s name becomes synonymous with the ministry. Criticism is framed as rebellion. Loyalty is framed as spirituality. And slowly—imperceptibly—the pastor functions as high priest of his own kingdom.”
(The Dissenter) There’s a certain tone a man uses when he believes the room belongs to him.
Not the building. Not the microphone. The room.
You can hear it in the cadence—relaxed, almost amused, but tight underneath. Like someone who has never had to be contradicted without consequences….
That’s the tone At Boshoff carried in that now-circulating clip. For those who have never heard his name before, he’s a South African megachurch pastor who oversees roughly 90 multi-site campuses and claims north of 120,000 members. That’s not a church. That’s an empire with a worship band.
CRN has compiled a list of false teachers and several other professing Christians we’ve warned you about over the years. The list also contains those we must keep an eye on plus movements, organizations and “frauds, phonies and money-grubbing religious quacks” to mark and avoid as per Romans 16:17-18 such as Steven Furtick.
