HOW CELEBRITY, CONSUMERISM & COMPETITION ARE KILLING THE CHURCH
Source: Verge By: Mike Breen From time to time I will have the people I’m discipling write out their own pastoral obituary. I ask them to write out how our enemy would take them out, rendering them unable to serve their family and communities. As you can imagine, the answers vary, but always serves as a really helpful exercise as they are forced to confront issues of character, etc. You see, taking the same exercise I’ve used with pastors, for the past year I’ve been thinking how the enemy would/might be trying to take down the American church. Now what I’ve noticed is that the original temptations Jesus faced (which can best be boiled down to Appetite, Affirmation and Ambition) are somehow warped and insinuated into the culture.

By: Mishel McCumber Everyone hates a mosquito. There is just something infuriating about this little insect. In the natural, not one of us would stand and watch a mosquito draw our blood without swatting it away: in the spiritual, we the church are doing just that. There is a growing force now sucking the life Blood out of today’s church, and we are welcoming them in and making them at home. However, these parasites are lethal. They are the reformers of the church, the new crusaders if you will, the gathers of the global church. They are the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR), and they are coming for your church.

By: G Craige Lewis In Part 9 of our DVD Series The Truth Behind Hip Hop, we played you a clip of Kanye West performing “I am a god” in which a demon manifested at the end of it. Demon spirits always do this to show you they are present. Recently on Saturday Night Live Kirk Franklin performed with his new partner in ministry, Kanye West. At the end of the song, Kanye does it again, but this time, to christen his new venture into the gospel music genre! The growling that Kanye does at the end of the performance is definitely possession from a demonic presence. I have encountered this kind of manifesting in people over the years when demons are present and I assure you that Kanye is possessed! I’m telling you folks, this is the worst I have seen to date. But it’s all confirmation of our work here at EX Ministries and what we’ve been preaching to you for 20 years – Now it’s all coming to past. Source: Lighthouse Trails By: Kevin Reeves and the Editors at Lighthouse Trails A number of years ago, a book written by emerging-church leaders Brian McLaren and Leonard Sweet was released. The book was calledA is for Abductive: the language of the emerging church. Going through the alphabet, the authors identified many terms they hoped would be picked up by the younger generation, thus creating a unique emerging spiritual atmosphere. They called it a “primer with a mission.” 1 That mission that McLaren, Sweet, and other like-minded change agents embrace has been successful in bringing in a new kind of “Christianity,” which is not biblical Christianity but rather a “New” Christianity now permeating the halls of Christian colleges, seminaries, evangelical churches, small groups, ministries, and organizations. We have compiled in this booklet common terms and their basic meanings to help uncover the true meaning behind some of the deceptive language of the “New” Christianity (i.e., the New Spirituality).
