I know its not popular to talk about heresies but here are some evident today in Christendom:
1. Prosperity Gospel-God wants you rich and happy
2.Megachurch Growth movement-Its all about purpose driven numbers and how to get them. God only moves in big hip churches because of what we have done. Thank you Pelagius!
3.Pastor as Celebrity, guru or cult- Turn on TBN or your local Christian bookstore. He’s a motivational speaker-healer-politician or more. This can happen to leaders in the emergent movement or missional movement as well.
4. We are relevant or more spiritual than the organized church- Well Yes theres some truth there(hypocrites abound in churches) but this can lead to self-righteousness and throwing the Baby out with the bathwater.
5. John Shelby Spong- nuff said. If you don’t believe in the resurrection of Jesus please do not call yourself a Christian.
What, not true? Really? You mean I can’t have the cross and the crown?
Interesting observations.
Thanks DaRonn! There is no crown without the cross.
I wholeheartedly agree that no crown without the cross
I also say that, in many supersized ‘churches’ or personality driven
‘ buisnesses come meetins’, many are being taught, quite wrongly,
that one can have the ‘upper room’ experiences without the cross
too!
Watered down and ‘hip’ translations and more ‘relevant interpratations
abound and many are being fed sugar coated poison and insubstantial
swill.
I stand with John10:35, (KJV)
I was led and led astray for a lenth of time and now only fix my eyes on
JESUS, not man; what HE said and take the true Bible as truth.
Oh GOD, cause your children to return to YOU.
May YOUR light expose the satanic corruption of YOUR Word and
YOUR Church.
In and through JESUS THE ONLY TRUE GOD AND KING.
Amen
