Does anyone remember asking for radio talk show host Glenn Beck's opinion on what the Evangelical churches should be preaching, teaching, doing or thinking? I thought not. How would a radio talk show host know what is going on within any church except his own? Do we really set the agenda of the Kingdom of God by polls and felt needs? While some of his (rather obvious and predictable) subjects have partial merit, his delivery and automatic assumption of authority are painful to hear. That's one more reason to turn to a more Godly sound. One Pope is more than enough.

It's Simply Apocalyptic: False Teaching is Very Popular
All these years later and things are still the same. The only difference is the labels on the "camps" have changed. I confidently maintain that the local church is the outpost of the Kingdom of God, and likely the mini-kingdoms of man-centered, world-loving religion are not. They are popular, but free beer also draws a crowd. Why do we buy their books, tapes, and seminars and rallies?
Who, exactly, are YOU listening to? What message do they bring to you?
2 Peter 2:1-3 But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will also be false teachers among you, who will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing swift destruction upon themselves. Many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of the truth will be maligned; and in their greed they will exploit you with false words; their judgment from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.
