Christianity In Crisis Video of the Week

I just ran across this video from Way of The Master Radio which is Ray Comfort, Kirk Cameron and Todd Friel's program. It is now known as Wretched Radio. In this clip Todd Friel examines the doctrine that Paul Washer preaches and the doctrine that Joel Osteen preaches. Todd asks the question "Are you noticing the difference?" There are 3 videos well worth watching, I am only posting video #3 here.




2Ti 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

2Ti 4:4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

by His Grace alone,

Christianity in Crisis video of the week

Motivational speaker Joel Osteen and non-trinitarian T.D. Jakes discuss their success in "ministry" and how Jesus is the product!!!! Part of me gets angry and part of me just weeps for these men. I pray that God would have grace upon them as he has on me. And that he would grant them a heart of repentance, that they would come to know Christ as more than just a product.





Here is how I would like to respond to this MSNBC interview with those mega-leaders... Here is Paul Washer...Warning you will either hate it or be convicted by it!!!

In Him and His Grace alone,

Bill

Product Description

Pastor a simulated church and create your own Christian empire

Build a church from the ground up

Hire and fire staff

Deal with idiots, naive volunteers, and denominational egos

Attract fickle unchurched people with Bingo, revival meetings or fasting--it is all up to you!

Select a pre-loaded community

Xurban or suburban church plant (for those who want it easy or just starting out)

Or pastor an inner-city, multi-ethnic 80 year old church with 50 members and $1 million mortgage debt (for those who really want a challenge)

Choose a denomination (Lutheran, Catholic, Baptist, Pentecostal plus many more obscure factions)

Or load a brand new emergent plug-in

Take weekly offerings and go over budget

Start your own radio or cable-access show

Attend the latest conference to hone your skills

Implement the latest ministry fad

Review weekly attendance and giving records

Earn points with God by winning souls for Christ

With network play enabled, you can steal members from other churches and earn points just like you saved them yourself.

The possibilities are endless! To grow your church, work on all the strategic variables.

Write a mission statement

Choose a logo

Get a billboard

Hire a professional musician

Buy plasma television for your PowerPoint presentations

Prayer, study and preparation get thrown in there too--and the mysterious (or fickle) will of God! Deal with real-life scenarios including:

Troublesome board members

Elderly donor who wants to buy a new organ

A son starts using drugs

Your trusted deacon sleeps with your secretary

The city starts a construction in front of your building

Offering stolen

Denominations and Bible colleges use it to prepare potential church planters or associate pastors. It is better than an internship!

Do it all without a degree, license or even the Bible! Just like

Joel Osteen

Well, I ran into this back last spring... And no, it is not a real game... but it does hold alot of truth as to the state of these churches today!!



However, there is a real game called Left Behind /Eternal Forces. In this real-time strategy game based upon the best-selling LEFT BEHIND book series created by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins. You can join the ultimate fight of Good against Evil, commanding Tribulation Forces or the Global Community Peacekeepers!



Heck, in multi-player mode you can even play as the AntiChrist's Global Community Peacekeepers.....http://www.eternalforces.com/



So get out there and start converting those Rock Star (Level 3 Musicians) whose Special Abilities are: Swearing, Performing Concerts... Being rich and loved by the whole world. Oh and be forewarned, they do as they please.





Ridiculous? Absolutely!!!
