on the eve of peace

so i'm dyslexic
and don't have to worry about classes for awhile.

i've haven't gotten around to blogging for sometime
as i have found other ways to keep myself entertained.
but i have to express my utter disdain
and heartfelt pain to what i've been checking into
for the past couple days.

one of my friends showed me this man called
jon crowder.
he has no relation to david crowder.

but this guy, along with his followers
(congregation)
believe in being drunk in the spirit.

you can find his videos peppered amongst youtube land.
his worship leader, ben dunn, also has quite a few videos himself.
in said vids ben and his wife huff each other
and the Bible.

oh and this dude leads "worship" with drum sticks.

so........
i've watched as much of these videos as i can stomach,
and honestly it hurts.
i have no idea how people can be so blind
and dumb to the truth.

these men are claiming to be "preaching" from the Bible
when in actuality they are twisting the words to backup their ideology.
and the people in the audience can check their "preachers" because they have the Word
RIGHT IN THEIR LAPS.

these men and others like them are taking scripture way out of context.
they are leading many people astray
and also causing some people to fall away from Christianity all together.

its very sad but we were told this would eventually happen.

it's good to know that this isn't going on unchecked.

there are some people out there
speaking against this movement,
and taking the time to point out it's critical errors.

my boi rios got me a book that deals with this "revival"
and others similar to it.
its just sad to see people using the Word of God
and distorting it to mean whatever they please.

their manipulation of Scripture is just one of the many things that these "prophets" are defacing.
the list is long and saddening,
but when you can take the Bible out of context and get away with it,
you might as well throw the whole thing out the window.

without boundaries,
us dumb sheep run out into pastures that we were never meant to be in.

i just hope anybody reads this and gets as fired up as i am.
our brothers and sisters are being lead astray by false teachers.
they are being taught and ascribing to doctrines
that are completely wrong
and that are spiritually and emotionally dangerous.

i pray that God makes us sensitive to this and other issues
like it,
and that Jesus Christ can work through us and use us
to bring our siblings out of blindness.

*disclaimer* that last statement can come off as self-righteous,
but i hope you know that i'm in no way claiming to be better than anyone.
i just know if i was blind, i'd want someone to fight for my sight.
