Its your fault.
I know you don't like this, but its fully your fault.
You affirm and only follow the celebrity preacher with the big church, car, and following. Or you follow the social media preacher with a million followers.
I already hear some of you. I'm not referring to those who are anointed with sound doctrine who have developed large followings. I personally know many of them. I'm talking about the Biblically illiterate spreaders of false doctrine. Not someone who from time to time may misquote or misspeak, but who is overtly and obviously false.
Example--what Keion Henderson said about the poor and Haiti so so false and heineous that it almost left me speechless. Those who follow me here know I'm not a preacher basher. I tend to lean towards grace. But these examples are so bad that they are reasons why you must know the Word for yourself, and know history. For example, Haiti is the way it is because of France, which had the Haitian government paying them reparations well into the 20th century. Our government had a part to play as well. As far as 'voodoo' goes, every island in the Caribbean has its own type of 'voodoo' (the context is in the video), so if that be the case, EVERY ISLAND...as well as this country (we have our share), should be like Haiti. And what he said about the poor is blatantly unscriptural.
Most churches that present a solid word on Sunday can't get a roomful for Bible study. Many seek the sound of the preacher who will teach them how to live the American Dream instead of living right. The falling away that the Bible speaks of isn't only because of false teaching and abusing churches. It's also because of neglectful and malnourished Christians who have access to the meat of the Word but won't eat.
Somebody is making excuses for this preacher right now. Someone else things he's right because his following, size of his church, and his fame. These things, they think, are evidence of his 'anointing'. Let me say this if this is you. Cake and candy will make you big and robust but it doesn't mean you're healthy.
