REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE COURTS TELEVANGELISTS

No surprise here. Politico reports today that Donald Trump is courting prosperity televangelists in an effort to “keep his momentum from ebbing.” The subtext of the Trump televangelist outreach is that despite the polls, the only kind of evangelicals who really like Trump are those who love mixing not just religion and politics, but religion […]

Ways the Prosperity Gospel Is Hurting Africa

Good message from Lee Grady. I’m not an African, but in 2008 some Nigerian friends gave me a Yoruba name (“Akinwale”) because I have been to that country so often. My visits there, along with trips to Uganda, Kenya, Malawi, South Africa and Egypt, planted a deep love for Africa in my heart. My first […]

John Piper Denounces Prosperity Preachers In his last message as pastor

Amen In his last message as pastor for Preaching and Vision at Bethlehem Baptist Church, John Piper condemned prosperity preachers for enticing worshippers into a faith that’s not real Christianity. “If you entice people with wealth, … ease, health, chipper, bouncy, light-hearted, playful, superficial banter in your worship service posing as joy in Christ, you […]

12-12-12, Parsley and a Prayer Cloth

Rod Parsley. There’s a name I’ve not seen splashed across the internet in a while. From Do Not Be Surprised… Now that the U.S. and Russian governments have reassured all that the world will not end on December 21, we can focus on a more important and even closer date: 12-12-12. Why is this date […]

Turning Christianity into Mythology

Nollie’s put together some quotes from the likes of Joel Osteen, Joyce Meyer, Benny Hinn, T. D. Jakes, Paula White, Juanita Bynum, John Hagee, Kenneth Copeland, Kenneth Hagin, Frederick Price, and Creflo Dollar which prove his point that Christianity has been turned into a form of mythology by the men and women mentioned above.  For example, […]

CA$H COW$ & FAT CAT$: The Cult of Evangelical Leadership, Part 2

Herescope Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD unto them; Behold, I, even I, will judge between the fat cattle and between the lean cattle. (Ezekiel 34:20) Cash Cow: “A cash cow is a product or a business unit that generates unusually high profit margins…. A customer or organization that has no control over its spending.”[2]  Fat […]

Can TD Jakes please buy Paula White a Window

Without Walls Central, the opulent Lakeland, Fla., property belonging to Paula White, who also leads Without Walls International Church in Tampa, has been “abandoned” by White and left to decay, a visitor to the property alleges.

Tim Tebow has canceled an appearance at a revival organized by a controversial Ohio preacher, a spokesman for the star athlete said Wednesday. The Denver Broncos quarterback and dedicated Christian had been scheduled to speak at a three-day Columbus event in March led by televangelist Rod Parsley. Tebow’s brother Robbie said in a phone interview […]

Joyce Meyer: The “Gospel” of Self Righteousness & Prosperity

Late last night I read this article at the Christian Post and honestly felt sick by the time I finished it: Joyce Meyer Opens Up about Brother’s Tragic Death If time permits read it all for yourself; afterward go to Internet Monk and read Chaplain Mike’s opinion: The Bad News of Self-Righteousness What Joyce Meyer […]

Popular TV Evangelists Banned from Christian Television Network

While I’m not at all familiar with DoersTV, their stand is something which can be appreciated. ChristianNewsWire An internet Christian television network, has banned many of the most popular TV Evangelists from broadcasting on its network. With a strict programming policy, many of the most well known TV Evangelists are just not welcomed on DoersTV.com. […]

Ted Haggard: Atlanta Pastor Deserves Fair Hearing

While I agree with Haggard that nothing has yet been proven,  one way or the other,  what  I don’t agree with is the underlying “suggestion” in his comments which supports the apostate Church’s belief that NOTHING can ever disqualify you from ministry. He doesn’t say it, but the implication is there; plus Haggard’s own road […]

“Et tu” Eddie? – Pastor Eddie Long Accused of Sexual Abuse With “Spiritual Sons”

Been watching this story develop, and still have no opinion on its truthfulness. Isn’t that sad?  We’ve watched so much of this type of behavior exposed within the Church in recent years that its difficult “not” to automatically believe these accusations against Eddie Long also. My prayer is asking God to reveal the truth of […]

Some fantastic heretics I have known

By Thomas R. Horn RaidersNewsNetwork (HT) quote.. Recently while searching for a particular document that I had placed in an old photo album years ago for safe keeping (usually how we wind up actually losing things, right!?), I took an unexpected stroll down memory lane. I had gone through at least a dozen books of […]

(Big thanks to Randy for pointing to this breaking story) The wife of televangelist Benny Hinn has filed for divorce from the high-profile pastor, whose reputation as an advocate of prosperity gospel has attracted millions of followers and criticism from lawmakers and watchdog groups over his lavish lifestyle.

Evander Holyfield allegedly hits Wife over Tithing

Bizarre story. (embedded links to videos added by me) From the you-can’t-make-this-stuff-up department, Candi Holyfield, wife of Evander Holyfield, has been granted a temporary restraining order against the boxer for hitting her. Why? Because she would not prove to her husband that she was tithing. According to court documents, Mrs. Holyfield asserted that after complaining […]

Will Kenneth Copeland Listen Now?

Interesting article at Christian NewsWire. I’m not familiar with the author Rich Vermillion, or his ministry. NEWARK, TX, Jan. 21– The last decade has brought several notable rebukes to the controversial televangelist, Kenneth Copeland. The question remains, however, whether the latest confrontation will finally result in a permanent change in his behavior. Initially, none other […]

Was Jesus wealthy?

In one sense this isn’t even worth posting. If you look at who’s photos grace the website of this pastor who claims Mary, Joseph, and Jesus were wealthy, its like the rogues-gallery of prosperity teachers. Nevertheless its interesting to read these people’s twisted ideas… From CNN Each Christmas, Christians tell stories about the poor baby […]

John MacArthur: Measuring Oral Roberts’ Influence

This is an informative message concerning the influence Oral Roberts had upon the Church. In Oral Roberts: An American Life, biographer David Edwin Harrell, Jr., describes how Roberts discovered the prosperity gospel and how it became the centerpiece of his message. One day he opened his Bible randomly and spotted 3 John 2: “Beloved, I […]

Unholy Trinity

Its been a long time since I tuned in to any of the Christian television networks…so this was an interesting read for me. It appears by John MacArthur’s newest article, nothings changed except for the fact the wolves are multiplying. I don’t watch much television, and when I do I generally avoid the Trinity Broadcasting […]

WORLDWIDE CRISIS in THE CHURCH

Uganda has been in the news a lot lately. Do you think God is trying to get the Church’s attention? Below is a letter sent out by Andrew Strom today.. But also related is the recent post, Uganda’s President Named in Washington DC Cult, “The Family”. Even if you read it previously I hope you […]

Joel Osteen: the prosperity gospel and positive thinking

Positive thinking, which in one form can be said to be biblical (Philippians 4:8)  has become as twisted as the prosperity ‘gospel’ itself. Both (which today are actually one and the same) teach if we do “A” & follow it up with “B”, God is obligated to produce “C”. Those who teach these principles call […]

Did Jesus Wear Designer Robes?

“…He has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of righteousness…” –  Isaiah 61:10 “…Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility… Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.” – 1 Peter 5:5, […]

Voodoo Theology

When I was a young girl, I had an albino friend. Annie’s hair was as light and wispy as cotton candy. Her eyes as pink as Valentine Sweet-Tarts. At church, whenever we sang that song about Jesus washing me whiter than snow, I thought of her. Annie’s skin was as white as a fresh piece […]

Benny Hinn..

Jan left a comment about Benny Hinn’s recent UK ‘disappointment’ under another thread, so I thought she (and the rest of you guys) might like to see godsplumbline’s newest video.

Is it Still Pentecostalism?

Interesting article. “Heresy, Bad Taste, or Capitalist Adventure: Is it Still Pentecostalism?” In this chronicle of mutations within the Pentecostal movement, we learn to distinguish among the Prosperity Gospel, Word of Faith, and New Apostolic Movements—and we learn why it matters. If an animal could describe the Pentecostal movement, it would be the tribble, a […]
