Kathy Griffin with a few words on Jesus after accepting her award.

Here’s the video of Kathy Griffin accepting her award. I honestly don’t see why the Christian community is so up in arms over this whole thing. Ms. Griffin is of the world and so she is behaving accordingly. The Christian community should be more up in arms by those who claim Jesus is their Lord but act as anything but. The Christian community should be more outraged by the state of the lukewarm Church. The Christian community should be more concerned with the false doctrines being taught by so many of today’s popular pastors. There will be more people finding themselves in Hell because of the lukewarm church, the false doctrines of popular pastors, and the poor example of Professing Christians than by anything Ms. Griffin can ever say or do.

Pilgrim Radio: Chuck Betters on “Why Church Discipline.”

pilgrim-radio.jpg Pilgrim Radio will air part three of a three-part Church Discipline series by Pastor Chuck Betters on September 27th on its Morning and Night Classes. You can catch “Why Discipline” at 8AM or 8PM Pacific Standard Time (USA) via live streaming from their website. I will be featuring this whole three-part sermon series on my website ReformationNation.com in the near future.

Church discipline is a much neglected, ignored, and forgotten mandate of Christianity in today’s non-offensive, entertainment-driven, seeker-friendly, Churches. In this new era of incorrectly interpreting the Scriptures on how to deal with and address sin, we allow all sorts of sin to run rampant in the Body. Either because many pastors don’t know how, or refuse to practice Church discipline.

yahannan.jpg Satan has done a masterful job of deception within the body of Christ. Christianity has been redefined to fit modern society. It is now a good moneymaking business. The Christian music and entertainment industry skyrockets, while the Word of God is peddled for profit and the authentic Christian life of surrender and obedience is tossed aside as legalism. More then 2 billion people who do not know Jesus head toward hell to perish for eternity, while the Church laughs its way to hysteria, claiming this is the sign of the last days’ outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Instead of laying down our lives to serve the purposes of God, we try numerous ways to make the Almighty God our servant to fulfill our dreams and desires. My brothers and sisters, this is not Christianity.

– K. P. Yohannan

That this world is a playground instead of a battleground has now been accepted in practice by the vast majority of fundamentalist Christians. They are facing both ways, enjoying Christ and the world too.

Ravi Zacharias fails to preach the Gospel to the Mormons.

Ravi Zacharias at Mormon Temple

A blogger had high hopes that Ravi Zacharias would preach the uncompromised Word of God to the Mormons:

Ravi Zacharias To Speak at Mormon Temple in November, 2004 per this online article . I hope and pray that Zacharias, Christianity’s most brilliant apologist, philosopher and author will preach the uncompromising and unadulterated word at this event.

Sadly, this blogger’s hopes and prayers did not come to pass:

Dr. Richard Mouw, who is President and Professor of Christian Philosophy at Fuller Theological Seminary, also spoke at this event. He let the the above blogger down too. Article at Mormon Research Ministry.

The world’s most expensive desert.

  Jesus said that it was hard for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, (Matthew 19:23-24). So much so that it would be easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter heaven. Well this story is a prime example of why.

This desert costs $14,500. To those who waste money on this, I hope you enjoy your life on earth, because you are receiving your goods now and as the rich man in Jesus’ story in Luke 16:19-31, you will one day have only one desire: To have those who you ignored who were in need around you on earth, to dip their finger in water to cool off your tongue.

Mormon “Prophet” Joseph Smith contradicts the Bible and the Book of Mormon.

  The Bible says that God is a Spirit: God is Spirit,  and those who worship Him  must worship in  spirit and truth. John 4:24

Even the Book of Mormon says God is a Spirit: And then Ammon said: Believest thou that there is a Great Spirit? And he said yea. And Ammon said: This is God. And Ammon said unto him again: Believest thou that this Great Spirit Spirit, who is God, created all things which are in heaven and in the earth. Alma 18:26-28

(Side note: I find it interesting that, although this was supposed to be penned about 90 BC by Indians, it is in King James English. But that’s another whole topic).

So what does Joseph Smith say? The Father has a body of flesh and bones as tangible as man’s. Doctrine and Covenants 130:22.

If you tell the truth, you never have to remember what you said.
