How much do you want to bet that someone is going to leave a comment defending this man as a "true prophet of God" and claim that I'm blaspheming the Holy Spirit for claiming he's a false prophet? Anyone want to take me up on that bet?

Getting drunk and high on the 'glory of god'? Jesus warned us about people like this:
““Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.” (Matthew 7:15)
“And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray...For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect.” (Matthew 24:11, 24)
Sadly, the secular press has taken notice of these false prophets. Check out this story entitled The Ravers Who Get High On God.

Here's a video Ed Young's "parsonage". We're not sure if this is his previous home or if this his current "crib" (it really doesn't matter). Do you think Young is living the life of luxury or the life of a humble shepherd of Christ's flock?
Here's Ed making espresso in his current kitchen. How many thousands of dollars do you think that commercial quality Italian La Marzocco espresso machine cost? Answer: $12,000 - $15,000
We wonder what a $15,000 shot of espresso tastes like. As Ed Young says in the video below, "if you want great espresso then you've got to pay the price".

On Saturday night Ed Young and two members of Fellowship Church's Doard of Directors took the stage to 'set things straight and move on'. There's just one really big problem. The things that they admitted to are more damning than the original news story and only the most blind and unquestioningly loyal followers of Ed Young won't see through the spin that was fed to them at Saturday's dog and pony show.
According to Ed Young and Fellowship Church's Board:
Admission 1. Ed Young doesn't own a 10,000 square foot home. His home is ONLY 7,800 square feet.
A. Considering the fact that an average home in America is only 1,400 square feet that would mean that a 7,800 square foot home is equal to 5 average homes. In other words, 7,800 square feet is not small or meager. Instead, it is off the chain HUGE.
B. How much do you think a 7,800 square foot lake front home is worth in and around Ed Young's neighborhood? Answer: under the current depressed real estate market conditions, homes of that size are currently running at the bargain price of $2 million to $3 million dollars, depending on lot size, location, features and view. Since Young had his custom built LAKE FRONT home constructed during the peak of the last real estate market it is highly likely that the original market value was upwards of $4 million dollars, however the assessed value of the home is listed at ONLY $1.5 million. But all this only us leads to the next question.
c. What about the $240,000 per year "parsonage" allowance? Young and his board did not address that issue at all. How can one make sense of that figure? If Young's home only has a $1.5 million mortgage then his monthly payments would "ONLY" be $7,000 per month or $84,000 per year. (think about that figure for a minute...at a MINIMUM Ed Young pays nearly $84,000 per year for his mortgage). This then leads to the obvious question "what is Young doing with the other $156,000 of his "parsonage" allowance? Is he pocketing that? OR.....
Does Young have a higher mortgage than $1.5 million? A $240,000 parsonage allowance hints at a much higher mortgage, which would have been very likely during the time when the house was built. How high? Answer: $4 million. The monthly mortgage payments on a $4 million home are $20,000.
So Ed either has a much higher mortgage than he is letting on OR he's set up some kind of shell and pea business deal and is pocketing more than half of his $240,000 per year "parsonage" allowance.
No matter how you slice it, by Ed Young's own admission he lives in a HUGE, luxurious, custom built, lake front home. Those homes are never cheap.
Admission 2. Fellowship Church doesn't own a private jet they're only LEASING it.
Does leasing the private jet mean that Fellowship Church is paying next to nothing for Ed Young to fly to conferences and speak to other pastors? Not on your life!
Here are some pictures of the private jet that Fellowship Church is leasing as well as the standard interior of this model of aircraft. How much do you think it costs PER MONTH to lease an $8.4 million private jet? I'll give the answer below.
So...how much do you think it costs per month to LEASE an $8.4 million private jet? Answer: standard lease rates on a private jet per month are 1% of the cost of the jet. That means, IF Fellowship Church leased the jet with a market value of $8.4 million at the signing of the lease, then they would be paying $84,000 PER MONTH to lease that Dessault Falcon 50 Private Jet. That would equal $1,008,000 per year. Keep in mind that the lease payments DO NOT INCLUDE hangar fees, fuel costs, pilot fees or maintenance costs.
Maybe, just maybe Fellowship Church was able to negotiate a better lease rate. Maybe, just maybe they're ONLY paying $60,000 per month or maybe, just maybe they really got a good price and are ONLY paying $50,000 per month to lease the private jet. But even if they were able to save a few thousand a month does it really make things better for Ed Young? $50,000 is still a lot more than most Americans make in a year!
So, Ed Young's admissions rather than making his case have instead proven what the News 8 reporter set out to demonstrate, namely that Ed Young's luxury spending is out of control and not in keeping with a pastor's salary.

New No Hope Church in Calgary, Canada has bought the purpose-driven / seeker-driven lie that church is for unbelievers and that we have to make it appealing to the world or they won't show up at our churches. Rather than boldly preaching the scriptures in season and out of season (2 Tim. 4:1-4) they've watered down and obscured God's Word and mixed it with things it was never intended to be mixed with such as the World of Warcraft. The result is a convoluted message and a painfully inauthentic grasping at relevance.

**Update February 5th at 1:44 PM EST**
I've contacted Fellowship Church and given them the opportunity to 'set the record straight' on my radio program. So far I cannot get straight answers to simple questions.
The questions I believe need to be answered are:
1. Does the church own an $8 million dollar private jet?
2. If the church owns an $8 million dollar private jet then why was it NOT public knowledge?
3. Has Young used the $8 million dollar private jet for personal trips to tropical resorts in the Bahamas and Mexico?
Fact: Until Ed Young answers those questions then there ARE secrets that he's keeping from his congregation despite his cliams to the opposite.

Here's what happens when relevant pop culture and a less than relevant pastor collide. This is video of Greg Rohlinger, Senior Pastor of Palm Valley Church in Goodyear, Arizona.

The site selling this bizarre piece of Jesus Junk asks, "Have you ever seen a cooler like this? Probably not. This one-of-a-kind cooler includes a pump and, best of all, this awesome thought: “Win or lose, always give thanks to the Lord.” Now, just add the drinks and the ice, and you’re ready to go!"
Ichabod!!

This is the latest artifact to be inducted into our Graveyard of Relevance. In this video, bad theology and frightening irrelevance unite for this 58 second nightmare that may in fact inflict brain damage on those who watch.

Just in time for the Big Game...it's the "Christian" Football Popcorn Bowl!!! You'll never eat pagan popcorn again.
This amazing "Christian" popcorn bowl feeds both soul and body because it prominently features Philippians 4:13 to remind you that the Lord is the source of strength. ( ugh :-{ )

Here's a video that gives 10 reasons to return to Rome. We can think of a reason not to return to Roman Catholicism. Apostasy: Rome has anathematized the Biblical Gospel of salvation by grace alone through faith alone by Christ's work alone.
If you know your Bible this video will give you several more reasons to not return to Rome.

Ugh...this is what theology and doctrine has downgraded to in the U.S.. How much do you want to bet that there will be thousands of churches in the U.S. singing this 'praise song' on Superbowl Sunday?

According to one web store that sells these: "These amazing shoes allow you to speak the word even in silence. Carry the spirit of God with you all the time with these awesome accessories."
Call us skeptical but we think that these shoes are all about making money and are completely ineffective and sharing the Christian faith.
If you are a Christian today because of someone wearing these shoes, please email us.

Do you want a better marriage? Do you lust after more gratifying sex? No problemo!! All you need to do is attend this stand up comedy show with your spouse and you'll learn the Biblical secrets to better sex and a better marriage. And because its all wrapped up in stand up comedy, you'll never suspect that you're actually doing the important work necessary to make your marriage succeed.
What's Next...The Calvinist Theology Comedy Tour? How about the Lutheran Doctrine Laugh In or Baptist Bleeps, Bloops and Blunders?
Is it any wonder why so many people think that because Christianity keeps trying so hard to make itself appear relevant that it has instead become a complete joke?
