"Silence the noise of your songs" by Sandy Simpson, 5/26/19
Amos 5:21-27 "I hate, I reject your festivals, nor do I delight in your solemn assemblies. "Even though you offer up to Me burnt offerings and your grain offerings, I will not accept them; and I will not even look at the peace offerings of your fatlings. "Take away from Me the noise of your songs; I will not even listen to the sound of your harps. "But let justice roll down like waters and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream. Did you present Me with sacrifices and grain offerings in the wilderness for forty years, O house of Israel? You also carried along Sikkuth your king and Kiyyun, your images, the star of your gods which you made for yourselves. Therefore, I will make you go into exile beyond Damascus," says the Lord, whose name is the God of hosts. When I first reread this passage in Amos, a few things struck me. First of all the Lord is bringing judgment on Israel for carrying on religious ceremony without true dedication to the Lord. They sing songs and present their offerings while harboring idols. I was reminded of how the Lord must view the heretical apostate mega church celebrations of today. There is a lot of pomp and circumstance, yet little or no obedience to the Word of God. The Lord does not look favorably upon worship of that type, no matter the hype, no matter the noise, no matter the show. He actually "hates" it.

"Send" What? What kind of revival is this? | by Mike Oppenheimer, 8/18/19 While the Send made its cause evangelism in its application it was hardly anything related to it. The gospel that is being preached by many of the speakers is false, the Jesus is "another Jesus" (2 Corinthians:11:4) All one has to do is look at Benny Hinn and Rodney Browne and Bill Johnson's statements that Jesus was not deity on earth, but a man, which completely denies the incarnation. In this way Kenneth Hagin was right when he said we are as much an incarnation as Jesus is. For to them Jesus was not God in the flesh. Which means he, and the others do not understand "the mystery of godliness." So when The Send exhorts 50,000 young attendees to take the gospel to the ends of the earth, which one is it? For many were word faith and deny Jesus purchased our redemption and completed it on the cross. There were still 3 days of torture for Jesus who became a satanic human and was in hell to redeem us. One was left to interpret their hearing the speakers, with no clear declaration by the speakers of the gospel. Speakers like Francis Chan, Lou Engle, Todd White, Bill Johnson, Mike Bickle... what was missing on their website was Benny Hinn and Rodney Browne who were both there and called on fire on the 50,000 youth attendees. Browne said "fire is already falling on your mouth and your hands" just like the Latter Rain of William Branham.

Candy Machine God, or, Going to Church without Going to Church: Millennials and the Future of the Christian Faith |
by Chad Lakies, 8/25/19
Abstract: In this article, I try to give background to some of the sociological data that describes the relationship between Millennials and the church. Since the modern American religious context has for some time been described as therapeutic, I explore this to help explain recent work which characterizes Millennials as embodying and desiring this form of religion. The result is that the problem lies not so much with Millennials but the church itself. From there, I try briefly to suggest how the church became merely therapeutic and what the church might do to recover faithfulness.
