THE PROFESSING CHURCH & ITS CONTINUED OBSESSION WITH AMUSING THE GOATS

THE PROFESSING CHURCH & ITS CONTINUED OBSESSION WITH AMUSING THE GOATS
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
 
An evil is in the professed camp of the Lord, so gross in its impudence, that the most shortsighted can hardly fail to notice it during the past few years. It has developed at an abnormal rate, even for evil. It has worked like leaven until the whole lump ferments. The devil has seldom done a cleverer thing than hinting to the church that part of their mission is to provide entertainment for the people, with a view to winning them. –Charles Spurgeon
Charles Spurgeon, well over a century ago, rightly complained about the influence of entertainment in the church in order to attract a crowd. As part of what was dubbed the “downgrade controversy,” Spurgeon held that the attractiveness of this entertainment to the world was futile and served no purpose except to muddy the waters between godliness and godlessness. For the world, itself is not drawn to church by the preaching of the word of God, for the world sees this as foolishness.
 For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.1 Corinthians 1:18
What we see today is an aggrandizement of the serious error that plagued the church in Spurgeon’s time. The professing church has become an industrial entertainment complex that is substantially driven by income, and income requires customers. And in a free market economy, if you want to keep your customers, you must provide the best product or service in the industry–in the case of the professing church, it’s entertainment.
So we see a competition among churches today to provide the best entertainment to its customers in an effort to keep them in the pews. From Keller’s Redeemer Church putting on a daft display of effeminate gambol to Exodus Church, an Acts 29 church, commissioning a “deacon(ess) of storytelling” to supposedly aid God’s word in the expansion of “imagination” to counter disbelief.
One church in North Carolina, New Hope Church in Garner, NC, led by Pastor Benji Kelley, actually rides out onto the stage on a Harley-Davidson with flashing lights and loud Rock & Roll music while the crowd claps and cheers.

This has nothing at all to do with God, but this is a self-aggrandizing pastor who desires notoriety and fame for himself. Nothing–nothing at all–draws attention and points to Christ in this foolish display of self-promotion. I suppose, however, that if you’re able to abandon the absolute truth and authority of Scripture, as Keller does with the creation account for example, then it’s easy to see how this tommyrot can be passed off as Churchianity in the modern professing church.
Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen. Romans 1:24-25
True believers do not need this sort of claptrap, for they are drawn purely to Christ and His redemptive work on the cross. God’s word feeds the sheep (Hebrews 5:12-14). It is not a function of the church to provide entertainment. This serves no purpose except to make something that is sacred for the purpose of God’s elect to be more palatable for those who are not drawn to Christ. Church is not for goats, it’s for God’s sheep, and God’s sheep are drawn to the preaching of the Word. Goats are repulsed by it.
Spurgeon’s downgrade continues.

TIM KELLER'S REDEEMER CHURCH PUTS ON EFFEMINATE WORSHIP SERVICE~CLAIMS PEOPLE CAN'T BE REACHED WITHOUT "ART"

 
TIM KELLER'S REDEEMER CHURCH, NEW YORK CITY, PUTS ON EFFEMINATE WORSHIP SERVICE
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
 
Tim Keller’s legacy church is wrought with compromise. A church that is part of the traditionally conservative PCA, problems range from its members converting to Catholicism to a low view of biblical authority–Keller is a theistic evolutionist.
In November of 2016, under the pastoral leadership of Keller, during the offertory portion of worship, Redeemer offers up an effeminate dance routine with three men, Ethan Fuller, Ghaleb Kayali, and Lars Nelson, prancing around on stage dressed in tight, white clothing and acting in such a manner that is, well, let’s say, less than appropriate for a Christian church.
Does Redeemer honestly believe that this is somehow glorifying to God? Men acting like girls prancing around in prairie chasing butterflies and grabbing each other’s waists?
Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.1 Corinthians 16:13

EXCERPT:
"The Gospel does not require the help of human art. If an atheist experiences this schitzophrenia that Keller speaks of, he isn’t instantly driven to God. He will continue in his sins. Only the Gospel has the power to save. He claims we are never going to reach the world with great Christian art, and yet the Bible never commands Christians to make great art and show it to all people, but instead to preach the Gospel."

EUGENE PETERSON & THE TWO MASTERS

EUGENE PETERSON & THE TWO MASTERS 
BY SETH DUNN
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
 
“No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.” Matthew 6:24
Very few people were surprised when retired mainline pastor and author of The Message, Eugene Peterson, came out in support of same-sex “marriage” on July 12th.  His denomination, the Presbyterian Church USA, has been theologically adrift for years.  In 2004, the denomination gave approval for its pastors to perform same-sex “marriages”.   So when Peterson responded to the following question from (same-sex attracted) reported Jonathan Merrit, with a “yes” it should have come to surprise to no one:
“If you were pastoring today and a gay couple in your church who were Christians of good faith asked you to perform their same-sex wedding ceremony, is that something you would do?”
Now, to any Bible-believing Christian, especially a pastor, the answer to this question is clearly “that’s nonsense.”  It can’t even be “yes” or “no” because there is simply no such thing as a gay couple who are “Christians of good faith.”  The Apostle Paul makes this exceptionally clear in his epistles to the Roman and Corinthian churches (unless of course, one is reading those epistles out of The Message).   That a liberal Presbyterian would answer “yes” in the year 2017 when pressed by a progressive religion reporter is about as expected as the Alabama Crimsons Tide winning ten football games next season.  That Peterson revealed that he had been the pastor to several lesbians who were “just as Christian as everybody else in the church” is also to be expected.  (Of course, there may be some kernel of truth to his statement in that a PCUSA “church” with several undisciplined and unrepentant lesbians is likely to have no Christians whatsoever.  So, these women may have been just as a Christian as everyone else in the church…not at all Christian).  That Peterson’s church hired a gay music minister is another pedestrian piece of news.  What was (but is no longer) shocking was the frankness with which Peterson let his opinion of homosexuality be known:
“I wouldn’t have said this 20 years ago, but now I know a lot of people who are gay and lesbian and they seem to have as good a spiritual life as I do. I think that kind of debate about lesbians and gays might be over. People who disapprove of it, they’ll probably just go to another church. So we’re in a transition and I think it’s a transition for the best, for the good. I don’t think it’s something that you can parade, but it’s not a right or wrong thing as far as I’m concerned.”
The statement above is not something Peterson would not have said 20 years ago but now in the midst of the moral revolution, when being against “gay rights” is socially akin to being for racism, Peterson obviously felt comfortable enough to speak his mind freely.  That is, until he realized that the Southern Baptists were listening.  The Southern Baptist Convention controls one of the largest Christian retailers in the nation, LifeWay Christian Resources.  While that entity’s standards for Christian literature are shamefully low, it will not carry literature authored by gay-affirming authors.  Jen Hatmaker found this out the hard way last October after she came out in support of same-sex relationships and was promptly banned from LifeWay When LifeWay caught wind of Merrit’s report, it wasn’t long until LifeWay came calling.  The Baptist Press reported on the same day that Merrit’s story broke that LifeWay would “stop selling all works by Peterson if he confirms the views reported by (Merrit)”.  According to a LifeWay statement:
“LifeWay only carries resources in our stores by authors who hold to the biblical view of marriage.  We are attempting to confirm with Eugene Peterson or his representatives that his recent interview on same-sex marriage accurately reflects his views. If he confirms he does not hold to a biblical view of marriage, LifeWay will no longer sell any resources by him, including The Message.”
That meant Peterson would soon be off of the shelves at LifeWay.  Only Peterson began promptly singing a different tune upon being contacted by the retail chain.  As reported in Christianity Today,  Peterson sought to clarify his remarks from the previous day.  Peterson stated:
To clarify, I affirm a biblical view of marriage: one man to one woman. I affirm a biblical view of everything…When put on the spot by this particular interviewer, I said yes in the moment. But on further reflection and prayer, I would like to retract that. That’s not something I would do out of respect to the congregation, the larger church body, and the historic biblical Christian view and teaching on marriage. That said, I would still love such a couple as their pastor. They’d be welcome at my table, along with everybody else.”
Two things stand out here.  The first is that anyone who would welcome practicing homosexuals who are professing Christians to his table does not affirm a “biblical view of everything”.  Paul told the Corinthian church “do not even eat” with such a person.  The second is that a professional theologian who is in his eighties and worked as a pastor and Christian author for his entire career made a theological statement about long-accepted Christian doctrine on Wednesday and completely reversed his position on Thursday.  That’s unbelievable.  Surely Peterson knows and has known what he really believes just as surely as he knows that LifeWay sells 12 different versions of his Message “Bible”.  Peterson’s widely accepted social views would have cost him money with the Baptist bookstore if he doubled down on them.  He realized this and he didn’t double-down.  He tried to take his money and run.

Peterson, it would seem, made a statement in service of his master.
It’s very apparent that Peterson lied at least one day this week.  It’s also quite apparent that Peterson may have been telling the truth when he said that he “knew of people who are gay and lesbian and they seem to have as good a spiritual life” as he did.  After reading about Peterson’s statements and actions for the last two days, that’s not hard to imagine.  That LifeWay will sell books by a woman who claims to be writing for Jesus himself, in the Lord’s voice, but not The Message if Peterson thinks it’s okay to be a practicing homosexual is another story. Sadly, it’s no less shocking than what has been seen this week from Eugene Peterson.

UN CONVENTION ON CHILD RIGHTS: WHY A HOSPITAL IS FIGHTING SO HARD TO KILL A BABY

UN CONVENTION ON CHILD RIGHTS: WHY A HOSPITAL IS FIGHTING SO HARD TO KILL A BABY
 Published on Jul 14, 2017
Why is a hospital fighting so hard to block parents with a child dying from a rare condition from getting experimental medical treatment another hospital is offering for free? Would it damage the reputation of the hospital “revered as one of the world’s best children’s hospitals” if another hospital succeeded where they failed? Perhaps. But in arguing to kill the baby rather than allowing someone else to treat him, they said “a world where ONLY PARENTS SPEAK & DECIDE FOR CHILDREN and where children have NO SEPARATE IDENTITY or rights and no court to hear & protect them is far from the world in which [this hospital] treats its child patients.” They may be trying to protect their reputation, but they were appealing to the court and reminding it that it is subject to the UNCRC, the United Nations Convention on Child Rights. David Knight breaks down what that is and why it must be stopped in the US.

PRO SHARIA JIHADIST LINDA SARSOUR WARNS CRITICS AFTER CALLING FOR JIHAD AGAINST TRUMP: "I AM TAKING NAMES"

PRO SHARIA JIHADIST LINDA SARSOUR WARNS CRITICS AFTER CALLING FOR JIHAD AGAINST TRUMP: "I AM TAKING NAMES"
BY ROBERT SPENCER
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
 
Well, come and get me, Ms. Sarsour. If I am on your enemies list, I do hope you got my name right: it’s Robert, not Richard, and Spencer, not Spenser. If you sue, our day in court will be most interesting: I argued that you, as a devout and knowledgeable Muslim, must know that the Qur’an’s primary vision of jihad involves violence and warfare, and so does that of the Hadith and Islamic law. To claim that I was “lying” about you, you would have to demonstrate that you’re completely ignorant of Islamic texts and teachings. And that could have unfortunate implications for your reputation among your legions of followers. This could be great fun!
Meanwhile, Sarsour’s victimhood act is as tiresome as it is predictable. Here is a woman who is a darling of the Left and the establishment media whining because she has faced some justified criticism. She got a platform in the Washington Post to clarify her “jihad” remarks, and recently gave the commencement speech at CUNY. She is lionized and hailed everywhere in the mainstream, while her critics are shut out of the mainstream, shouted down and physically menaced when we speak at colleges and universities (if we get invited at all), and excoriated everywhere as “racists” and “Islamophobes.” Oh, and then there are the death threats, which have the reality of the Islamic jihad behind them, while Sarsour’s claim that she has received death threats has only the chimera of “right-wing extremism” behind it. So kindly cut the whining, Ms. Sarsour: if you were standing for freedom, you would find out what it really means to be victimized.

“Linda Sarsour Warns Critics Days After Calling for Trump ‘Jihad’: ‘I Am Taking Names,’” by Joe Bilello, Mediaite, July 12, 2017:
Speaking at the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) last week, Palestinian-American, anti-Israel and pro-Sharia activist, Linda Sarsour received major criticism when she called for “jihad” against the Trump administration.
Despite the obvious backlash, it is Sarsour who is now on the offensive as the incredibly ironic darling of the left has now threatened the critics who have “lied” about her.
On Wednesday she tweeted, “Just know that I am taking names of those who have lied about me to defame my character. I may be quiet now but not for long. I am working.”
She later added, “I have a running document of the lies & who is putting them out there. This is not about setting records straight, it’s who will pay 4 lies?”
Sarsour sent several more tweets about the alleged false allegations against her and the vow to confront the perpetrators.
It is unclear as of now who the purveyors of the lies are, but most media outlets accused of attacking Sarsour did little more than play an unedited video of her in her own words where she called for a “Jihad” against the “white supremacists” in the White House.
Perhaps she is talking about the “Zionists” in the media.
“Every right-wing media outlet in the country. Every right-wing Zionist outlet in the country engaged in coordinated attacks against me to discredit my leadership”, she said during the same ISNA conference where she gave her now infamous “jihad” remarks.
Next thing you know, her critics will lie and call her an anti-Semite….

CHICAGO: MUSLIMA THROWS BABY OUT WINDOW TO HER DEATH, GETS PROBATION

 
CHICAGO: MUSLIMA THROWS BABY OUT WINDOW 
TO HER DEATH, GETS PROBATION 
BY ROBERT SPENCER
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
 
“Uddin originally had been charged with first-degree murder,” but this was reduced to involuntary manslaughter, possibly because “Uddin became pregnant by her boyfriend but did not tell her family because she knew her Muslim parents from Pakistan would not approve.” Uddin knew that if she did tell her parents, not only the baby, but she herself could very likely have been killed. And she had nowhere to flee, because Muslim women who are threatened with honor killing have nowhere to go; several years ago, when Pamela Geller and I were offering real help to women who were threatened with honor killing, we were roundly denounced as “Islamophobic.” If our efforts had been received more positively and aided, Mubashra Uddin might be safe today with her baby alive.
But that doesn’t justify what she did. Probation only? Would a stiffer sentence have been “Islamophobic”?

“Woman admits to dropping baby to death in Uptown, gets probation,” Chicago Tribune, July 10, 2017 (thanks to Creeping Sharia):
A woman who dropped her newborn baby to her death from a high-rise apartment after hiding her pregnancy from her parents in 2015 has been sentenced to probation, according to court records.
Mubashra Uddin, 20, on Thursday pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter of a family member before Cook County Judge Carol Howard and was sentenced to four years’ probation, according to court records. The infant, Baby Jane Uddin in official documents, was found in the grass outside a high-rise in the 800 block of West Eastwood Avenue about 11:45 p.m. Nov. 11, 2015, and was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital about an hour later.
Uddin originally had been charged with first-degree murder.
Uddin became pregnant by her boyfriend but did not tell her family because she knew her Muslim parents from Pakistan would not approve, prosecutors said at the time she was charged. Uddin gave birth to the 7-pound, 11-ounce girl and threw the infant out the window when she heard her mother approaching the bedroom, according to prosecutors….
Her attorney said at the time she was charged that Uddin’s family was “standing by her.”…
