I have been wanting to do a series for a long time on my blog, but have not been able to find a topic that would sustain my personal interest yet alone the interest of it’s readers. 

So who could possibly guess that a church would make the front page of FoxNews.com for actually practicing church discipline?

A 49-year-old Florida woman says her former church is threatening to reveal her sins to its congregation after learning that she is in a “sexually immoral relationship.

The Rev. T. Scott Christmas, pastor of the church, told the Florida Times-Union that the “process of loving accountability” is made very clear to members, and the church is doing “nothing more than following the practices of what biblical churches have done through history.

Read the entire story here.

Imagine if a prophet like Jeremiah, Isaiah, or Elijah said this…

So my team has a nick name for me. They call me a “heckler magnet”, probably because not all the time, but definitely most of the time when I open air I am bombarded by hecklers. 

Recently in Virgina Beach a really cool church Called “WaveChurch” built a new mega conference center that cost over 13 Million dollars. They call it “Architectural Evangelism” as stated by the Steve Mizzelle the “Operations Manager”.

That is great! Using the pure architecture of a Church to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ!

That is what they are saying right? Right?

No.

Here is what Steve Kelly, pastor of The Wave Church says…according to an article by the Virgina Pilot…

The 80,000-square-foot behemoth is Wave Church’s new worship center, an $18 million complex with a 2,500-seat, high-tech auditorium and a bookstore, cafe and coffee bar.

What it intentionally doesn’t have, inside or out, are any of the symbols – steeple, bell tower, stained glass, even a cross – that traditionally say “church” to the public.

“I just don’t think that’s what people are looking for in the 21st century,” said the Rev. Steve Kelly, senior pastor of the evangelical church since 1999. “I was looking for something more corporate, something more contemporary.”

You know what? I think he is right! People are not looking for a cross in the 21st Century. They are looking for Self Help, They are looking for prosperity, they are not looking for The Gospel of Jesus Christ. The bible makes it very clear that people HATE the Gospel. Let’s not forget that, people hate the Gospel.

Mark Driscoll makes a point to show people that they also hate the Cross. It’s offensive, disgusting, horrifying. It’s where people were murdered, it was where Christ was slain for sinners like you and me.

I am outraged by this mega church in Virgina Beach who call themselves Christians but hide the Cross where their savior was crucified.

Hey WaveChurch your unoffensive “Church” offends me. I am offended by your cowardice of the Gospel.
