The world will label you with “religious psychosis” for asking Holy Spirit to guide you, but normalize getting advice from a demon through mediums.

The world will accuse Christians of being “close-minded”—while they refuse to hear the gospel.

The world will say you’re blind for believing in God, while they believe in karma without question.

The world will label you crazy for believing in miracles, but they belive in manifesting.

The world says our hope in Jesus is “delusional” while they put faith in crystal and tarot cards.

The world says the Bible doesn’t know the right way, but will follow horoscopes for direction.

The world will call you judgy for standing on biblical truth, but will celebrate sin.

Let the world talk. We’ll keep our eyes on Jesus, follow His Word, and walk in His truth—because His approval is all that matters. 🤍🙏🏻

Thousands are showing up at Pirate's Cove in Corona Del Mar, CA, on May 2nd for Baptize California featuring Live worship from Tiffany Hudson, Abbie Gamboa, Matt Crocker, and Oceans Music.

"Baptism is more than a moment in the water. It is a public declaration that a life has been changed by Jesus Christ. What makes this movement so powerful is seeing the Church come together in unity across cities, states, and nations to lift up the name of Jesus and invite people into new life," said Pastor Mark Francey, lead pastor of Oceans Church.

The church was never meant to be a stage.
It was meant to be an altar.

Not a place to perform—
but a place to die.

“The church exists for the glory of God,
not for the entertainment of men.” — Charles Spurgeon

But somewhere along the way…
lights replaced reverence.
applause replaced repentance.
and the presence of God was traded for a polished experience.

When worship becomes a performance,
God becomes an audience.

And that is not worship.

So ask yourself:

Are you coming to encounter God—
or to be impressed?

The Holy Spirit is a guide who leads you away from lies and into truth — not to restrict you, but to protect you. He shows you what you cannot see on your own. He brings clarity where confusion once ruled.⁠
That guidance is proof of God’s goodness toward you.⁠
— Denise Renner⁠

“However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth….” — John 16:13 (NKJV)
