We Will NOT Post a Grown Man Dancing Around Church in a Diaper!
/
Even the Museum of Idolatry has standards.
(But here's an article from Tony Miano about this bizarre event: Diaper Man's Connection to Bethel Redding)
“Do not be idolaters as some of them were; as it is written, “The people sat down to eat and drink and rose up to play.” …Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.”
Urgent Prophecy Held For Ransom by Jennifer LeClaire
/
Jennifer LeClaire says God gave her a profound prophetic word about the angels of abundant harvest.
“God gave me a profound prophetic word about the angels of abundant harvest and I’ve raced to get this book into your hands so you can hear the word of the Lord and apply biblical principles that will position you to reap the overflow in this season.”
She claims to have an urgency about this profound prophetic word from God.
“Understanding the times and seasons-and knowing what to do-is vital in the hour in which we live. That’s why I have such an urgency about this prophetic word and the book I’ve written to equip you to cooperate with the angels of abundant harvest the Lord is releasing in this hour.”
There is something very interesting about this supposed profound and urgent prophetic word from God. You have to fork over money and buy her book in order to gain access.
“The Lord gave me a significant prophetic word. I’ll share just a few lines of it here:
“An abundant harvest is at hand. I am releasing angels of abundant harvest into the nation. You will reap what you have sown. This is a double-edged sword. Where the enemy has resisted your harvest in years past, you will see a multiplication effect of blessing in your life. Doors will open unto you that no man can open. Opportunities will come your way that you never dreamed, imagined or even thought to ask for. Provision will enter your life from unexpected places.”
The prophecy, which I share in my book, is much longer than this and goes into greater detail. I am convinced the body of Christ needs to hear this word and understand how to apply it. Indeed, I feel so strongly about this word in due season that I’ve set other things aside to rush this book out to you. If you believe and war with this prophetic word-and apply the principles in this manuscript-it could change your life.”
Why is Jennifer LeClaire holding this profound and urgent prophetic word from God hostage until ransom is paid by purchasing her book? If it's a truly profound and urgent direct word from God that the body of Christ needs to understand and apply, shouldn't she just publish it on a public website and give access free of charge? She's basically making merchandise of God's supposed direct revelation to her, and is also making merchandise of her followers.
“But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.”
There is absolutely no need for Jennifer LeClaire to only distribute her supposed urgent prophetic word through book only. There is plenty of technology available to distribute it free of charge online. If she really believed this was urgent, she would post it to her website right away.
Please don't believe her nonsense. She's turning you into merchandise to fill her bank account. Her whole angle is to make you believe angels can assist in growing your harvest. Yet to gain information to increase your harvest, you must pay her ransom which ends up increasing her harvest. The idol here is clearly money.

The Bug Spray Prophet Heals With Doom Insecticide

Only You Can Command Angels to Prevent Election Fraud - God's Hands Are Tied
/
God's hands are tied. Jo Ellen Stevens of TCIC Ministries said God showed her there are "Poll Watcher Angels," but they'll only be sent to protect the election if we issue a decree.
God is (sort of) on the throne, and he could (maybe) protect the elections, but he really can't... his hands are tied. He can't even speak to the angels, apparently.
Do you see the idolatry? God is rendered powerless, as his creation is rendered more powerful than him. God is portrayed as a helpless damsel in distress who would love to protect the integrity of our elections, but he can't, it's all up to us and our powerful proclamations.
This is not Christianity, this is a made-up religion. "Dreams and visions" indeed!
Mammon Idol at Cedar Creek Church
/
Has your church ever done a song during an official Sunday worship service that helps direct your heart toward the love of money? Cedar Creek Church directed the hearts of their flock toward money by singing Billionaire by Bruno Mars.
The lyrics are (obviously) very narcissistic. “See my name in shining lights.”
“I wanna be a billionaire so freakin’ bad.”
The job of a shepherd is to direct the heart toward the love of God, not the love of money. This song (and the video) does more to tickle and provoke the love of money, than to stir the heart toward the love of God.
This song was a warm up to the sermon series called "The Vanishing Act" where the pastor starts by asking, "Is there a way to enjoy money the way God intended? That's what this series is all about." Weird...

Seductive Sensuality at Church by the Glades
/Do you go to Sunday worship service to be sensually seduced? By a female singer dressed kinda like a witch? During a special "sermon series" about Harry Potter?? Church by the Glades has earned their way onto the Museum of Idolatry yet again. Their opener I Put a Spell on You with a Harry Potter theme has a sensual seductive tone.
Sensually scampering down the catwalk.
Sensual shoulder shimmies with webbed cleavage. This woman is obviously made up and dressed to look like a witch (or something like that) as she sings "I put a spell on you." Is this really a good idea for a church service??
Jesus told us to ask not to be lead into temptation, but Church by the Glades seems to think differently. Jesus told us not to imitate the world, but Church by the Glades does it each and every Sunday.
“It is God’s will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; that each of you should learn to control your own body in a way that is holy and honorable, not in passionate lust like the pagans, who do not know God.”
“Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.”

Holy Ghost Wiener Roast!
/New Life Church is having a... they're having a... um... (this is hard to actually type)...
They're having a HOLY GHOST WIENER ROAST:
This might help to answer the question: "Why doesn't anyone take God and the church seriously anymore?"
In 20 years, didn't anyone stop to consider that they probably shouldn't use the name of the Holy Spirit in combination with a "wiener roast?"

"Prophetic" Mystery Meat - Shawn Bolz Needs a Lifeline
/
Prophets don’t usually need help from their audience, that is unless you’re Shawn Bolz. He began a recent “prophecy” by saying. . .
“Let’s try this out.”
“Sometimes my words land really strongly.”
“It’s like a game show, I need your help.”
When your prophet prefaces his prophecy with words that make it sound like a science experiment, and he calls on you for help, and is basically using you as a lifeline, chances are, your prophet is not a real prophet.
This prophecy is like a hamburger you’d get at a cheap fast food joint. It clearly has some filler, and is not the pure word of God. He mixes it with his own sense of uncertainty, audience participation, and random guessing. This is what a fortune teller does. He’s serving up prophetic mystery meat.
God’s real prophets did not need lifelines. They didn’t act like it was a science experiment. God gave them the direct word and they spoke it.
We don’t need a diet of prophetic mystery meat when God’s word to us is already in the Bible.

The Swiss Army Knife Anointing - 5 Signs You May Have It
/
How do you know if you have The Swiss Army Knife anointing? Doug Addison says we'll all have The Swiss Army Knife anointing this season. (What season is he referring to? Halloween?)
Remember folks, God can't equip you, unless you believe He is equipping you. (But if you post a cheesy stock photo and make claims that don't exist in the Bible... well, you might be Doug Addison.)
What is The Swiss Army Knife anointing, you ask? How do you know if you have it? How do you know you have something that isn't even in the scripture? Below are five signs you may have it.
1. Lime green and yellow swag.
You may wake up one morning wearing lime green and yellow hipster swag. The lady above has a real neato-mosquito lime green (Or some bright shade of green...) knit hat. Your Swiss Army Knife anointing ensemble will come with a delightful yellow sweater and green hipster glasses.
2. Strong desire to be crammed into a drawer.
Maybe if you have a strong desire to be crammed into a drawer, never to be used, then you'll know you have this anointing? Because I have a Swiss Army Knife, and I never use it, it's actually crammed into a drawer.
3. Strong desire to be an unused corkscrew.
Possibly if part of your consciousness feels like a corkscrew that will never be used to open a bottle of wine, then maybe, just maybe then you'll know you have this anointing? Does anyone really use the corkscrew on a Swiss Army Knife to open a bottle of wine?
4. You fear being replaced by a discounted knockoff of yourself.
Swiss Army Knives are really pricy, and admit it, you've seen the discounted knockoff versions at your local drug store. I also own two of those, that I never use.
5. You think you're a three inch saw capable of doing major lumberjack work.
Like the corkscrew, is anyone really going to use the little saw to do major lumberjack work? Probably not.
And this absurd list is just as absurd as creating an anointing that isn't even listed in scripture.
Stormtrooper Crotch-thrusting at Church by the Glades!
/Another "worship" spectacle that spoofs itself:
So let's take an inventory of what's going on here... We've got a "church service" that looks like a drive-in movie (with real people in real cars); a strange dance tribute to Michael Jackson, PSY, Beyonce and... Star Wars; and an opening skit with two people portraying Chewbacca and Princess Leia. What were these people thinking??
- Maybe Church by the Glades was trying to visibly demonstrate the total depravity of all human beings?
- Maybe somebody thought that Stormtrooper costumes would create visual and aesthetic unity for the three otherwise unrelated songs (Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough, Gangnam Style, Single Ladies-Put a Ring On It)?
- Maybe they took this idea from Britain's Got Talent?
- Or, maybe they were just trying to maintain their top position in The Museum of Idolatry?
“For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified.”
“Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.”

Enter His Courts With Scaramouch at Cedar Creek Church
/
Sunday worship needs more scaramouch. At least that’s what I’m lead to believe based on an opener to come out of Cedar Creek Church during their Sunday worship service. They did a rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody, using wigged head banging men to spice it up.
Bohemian Rhapsody mentions scaramouch. What is scaramouch?
“1. capitalized : a stock character in the Italian commedia dell’arte that burlesques the Spanish don and is characterized by boastfulness and cowardliness
2a : a cowardly buffoon : rascal, scamp”
That’s an amazing unintentional and accurate metaphor. Tactics like this during worship boast more in our human genius to keep people in the church instead of trusting in the means God uses to save and grow his church. We end up trusting in our own genius. Ultimately this leads to total buffoonery.

Pastor Barrett's Debate Dysphoria Disorder
/
Does Pastor Glyn Barrett suffer from Debate Dysphoria Disorder?
Pastor Glyn Barrett of !Audacious Church may have a bad case of Debate Dysphoria Disorder. He's not content with a debate that never existed, so he's created his own debate reality in his head.
Pastor Glyn has a boastful brag about his showdown with an atheist at the Cambridge University corral.
Amazing, sounds like he silenced those atheists, doesn't it? The thing is, the atheists were already silent. Why? Because they weren't there. This debate never happened.
The Cambridge University Atheist and Agnostic Society claims to know nothing about the debate. (From audaciouslies.com.)
From another blog on Patheos.
Even worse, Pastor Glyn's story sounds similar to this from Mark Finley.
Things like Debate Dysphoria Disorder happen when you feel constant pressure to be grandiose and audacious. Most of the time life is very simple, and yes, even mundane. To avoid slipping into things like Debate Dysphoria Disorder don't stress yourself out when life is just so, well, normal.
"Crossing Your Red Sea" From the MEGA Coach!
/This looks like satire, but it's real:
This is a very blatant form of "narcigesis."

Joo-Joo Eyeball & Monkey Finger at Kensington Troy Sunday Worship Service
/
Have you ever sang about joo-joo eyeball, toe-jam football, monkey finger, and walrus gumboot at your Sunday church worship service? Kensington Troy did during their 09-11-2016 Sunday worship service.
This isn’t the type of singing scripture tells to use when we come together during worship.
“Ephesians 5:18-19 ESV
18 And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit, 19 addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with your heart, 20 giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Colossians 3:15-17
15 And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. 17 And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.”
Worship lyrics should be distinctly bible centric, not Beatles centric. Let’s come together around scripture, not around joo-joo eyeball, and monkey finger.
“Prophet” Nicholas Adds a Layer between You and God
/
Prophet Prince Nicholas Eli Anthony of the Prophetic and Deliverance Page on Facebook told his followers that God honors the word of a prophet because a prophet speaks to God directly.
He’s giving the impression that only prophets have the direct line to God. He’s creating a layer between believers and God that traces all the way to the wrongs of the Roman Catholic Church. It’s a layer that serves to exalt and benefit himself at the expense of his followers.
“4 who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.5 For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man[a]Christ Jesus, 6 who gave himself as a ransom for all, which is the testimony given at the proper time 1 Timothy 2:4-6 (ESV)”
Martin Luther and the Reformers fought hard to remove this extra layer between man and God, and now the deceivers and forces of hell are trying hard to bring it back.
If you are in a place of desperation, hurt, or pain, please do not trust in deceivers like this claiming to have the direct line to God. You can approach the throne of grace yourself. You can lean on other brothers and sisters in Christ to pray with you and for you, but please, don’t think some prophet has an exclusive direct line to God that you do not have.
If Nicholas happens to be reading this, or if anyone similar to him is reading, please call upon the God to grant you repentance. The throne of grace is open to you also.

HUGE Article Proving Brian Houston's Cover-Up; Hillsong Hopes You Never Read This!
/Brian Houston largely protected his father, Frank Houston, instead of following the law by reporting him, when he learned that Frank was a pedophile. Brian's focus always seems to be "preserve and protect the Hillsong image-no matter what!" The Assemblies of God Australia also favored a "cover-up" mentality. This GIGANTIC article was a year and a half in the making.
In spite of all the gullible Christians out there, who believe whatever the marketing department of the Evangelical Industrial Complex tells them, we hope that this in-depth research will be appreciated and shared around the world:

- OBLIGATORY FOOTAGE OF EMOTIONAL WORSHIPPERS WITH HANDS RAISED! (Wide aperture on lens for that shallow depth of field look; this says "spiritual, but not religious" like nothing else)
- CHEERING A LOT... AND THEN CHEERING SOME MORE!! WHY IS THERE SO MUCH CHEERING?? JUST KEEP CHEERING!!!!
- OBLIGATORY FOOTAGE OF ATHLETE GETTING READY TO WIN!! WOW-HE'S READY TO KICK SOME BUTT!!! JUST LIKE OUR CHURCH!!!!!
- NO LOSERS ALLOWED; THIS IS WHERE SUPER-CHRISTIANS LEARN HOW TO WIN!!
- OBLIGATORY FOOTAGE OF DRUMMERS DRUMMING AS PEOPLE DANCE AROUND IN SLOW MOTION!! (Wide aperture on the lens again; nice touch)

Watch this conference promo video and ask yourself: Does this look like an actual Christian conference, or a motivational conference full of shouting, exaggerating and people being told how great they are? Ask yourself: Is this video trying to accurately describe a conference, or is it emotionally manipulating me into wanting to get pumped up and join all the cool people shown here?
Perhaps this is the motivational speaker that that Ed Young should hire for next year's conference...

The Gospel According to Taylor Swift
/We wish this was satire, but it's not. This is real:
This church spent three Sundays analyzing and explaining the lyrics of Taylor Swift songs... so people could be pointed to the Gospel of Jesus? Do we even need to explain how ridiculous this is?
No, we don't.
