“More often than not, these people don’t meet the biblical criteria for leadership but are given a platform—and immense influence—due to their musical prowess and stage presence.”
(The Dissenter) Welcome to a discussion that dives deep behind the fog machines, laser light spectacles, and thunderous sound systems, addressing not just one, but multiple elephants in the room. First, the theological disarray among a plethora of megachurch worship pastors—those brand-conscious trendsetters with hair styled more for a photo shoot than the pulpit, sporting skinny jeans and a sleeve of tattoos as they wield guitars and microphones like rock gods….

“President Joe Biden hosted a party for White House staff on Sunday night as countless Americans remain missing and held hostage by terrorist organization Hamas in the Gaza Strip. A number of Americans were killed by terrorists in attacks over the weekend.”
“Without naming her, the authors scolded former Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Rochelle Walensky for citing a low-response phone survey with non-significant results as evidence that masks reduce infection by “more than 80%.”
“…if the Islamic Republic of Iran…has managed to breach Israeli security and interfere with the functioning of the Iron Dome, the ominous implications cannot be overstated. If Israel cannot manage to get the Iron Dome up and running on a secure basis, the Hamas attacks on Saturday could turn into a larger war that engulfs the entire region, as the Islamic Republic of Iran finally attempts to make good on decades of genocidal rhetoric directed at Israel.”
“The call to repentance isn’t a sidebar to the Gospel—it’s the headline! The whole point of Jesus’s mission was to save sinners, and you can’t save sinners if they don’t know they’re lost.” 
“Socialists and communists can’t afford competition, so they destroy it. People of faith, on the other hand, worship a higher being, not the government. They look for hope, strength, and inspiration not only beyond political systems but to another world beyond the one here on Earth.”
Stanley says that sort of response- ‘homosexuality is a sin’- works fine until your child comes out to you and “suddenly it’s irrelevant. And before long you realize this sentence doesn’t even make sense.”
“The atmosphere at these events is emotionally charged—highly orchestrated music, impassioned speakers, and provocative visuals often lead participants to believe they are experiencing the Holy Spirit.” 
“God who is utterly unthreatening is not worthy of admiration and does not provoke fear for His justice or love for His mercy. To worship the God of Scripture is to worship a God who, like Aslan, is “not safe, but He is good”. The worship of an unsafe God includes at least some hesitation, some awkwardness, and some intimidation.”
“The more our officials, in gaslighting style, claim such alarm is all in our collective heads, the more they themselves are attacked by the very criminals their policies empowered.”
“The Department of Homeland Security so desperately wants to build a border wall to deflect an immediate crisis along the southern border in Texas that Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has waived 26 separate environmental laws to get it erected posthaste.”
“The leftist corporate media has fully embraced the cancel culture by consistently using deception to demonize its perceived opposition. Like the evil clerics in Salem, the pursuit of truth has no place in their world.”
“Scripture also teaches that those who are truly saved do not depart from the faith (
“What happens when we wrench this verse from its intended context? We trivialize the profound suffering of the Israelites and render the richness of redemptive history into a shallow, one-size-fits-all catchphrase. Worse yet, we dilute the potency of a God who works in the mire of human despair to bring about His glorious purposes….” 
“On the topic of politics, Marxists in the pulpits are largely silent, according to PRRI. Fewer than one in ten discusses election fraud or abortion. But when it comes to Marxist topics such as poverty, racial inequality, racism, and “social justice,” 90 percent of them freely push the Marxist agenda.”
Now, as our land breaks apart and cities burn in furnaces of unfettered sin and violence the Lord our God speaks to the unrighteous in a dreadful, wrath-filled voice saying, “Do you finally see your sinfulness—the stupidity, depravity, and evil—in your hearts?!”
“Pope Francis is taking a major step this week in pushing arguably the most progressive legacy of any Pope as members of a major church Synod and the Pope are called together in Vatican City to debate new changes that could rock the ancient faith.”
“From Bill Hybels to Steven Furtick to Craig Groeschel, the list goes on of celebrity pastors who have pursued growth and popularity over truth. They have given in to the zeitgeist, promoting homosexuality, gender confusion, Critical Race Theory, and other ideologies utterly incompatible with God’s Word.”
“This is just a sample, but you get the idea. Hunter was engaged in a patently corrupt scheme that involved selling access to his father, one of the most powerful politicians on the planet.”
“This war against the body lies at the heart of so much of our modern politics. It connects to the sexual politics that deny that human genitals are to be used in some ways and not in others. It connects to gender politics that see the significance traditionally ascribed to sexed bodies as an oppressive social construct….”
“If the Biden administration really cared about “gun violence,” it would propose harsh mandatory prison sentences for anyone who possesses a firearm in the commission of a crime. Five years first offense, ten years second. That’s in addition to punishment for the criminal act being committed by the gun-wielder.”
“So, to present a God who winks at sin or accommodates it in any form is not just an innocent mishap or a benign deviation from the truth, it’s a blasphemous misrepresentation of who God is.”
“Doubtless this unsanitary foolery was cooked-up by ivory-tower village idiots who still want Hillary Clinton to be president (but I digress, I think). Heaven only knows how they raise their own children, if they have any. Most of them don’t have the sense God gave an ashtray. You’ll find scads of ‘em at any teachers’ college.”
“Here is the same message The Nation seems to have just discovered on one of their sociological safaris to the American Heartland. Christians think sex belongs in marriage and that all life, even unborn life, should be protected and celebrated….” 
“Are we okay with supporting and promoting a ministry where leaders make such blasphemous and outlandish claims about divine encounters tied to social media popularity? It’s time to draw the line in the sand—if you’re church plays Bethel music, it’s time to leave.”
