When Two Theologies Collide

Most church members just clap and say ‘amen’ to whatever Pastor Moses teaches them. However, John isn’t afraid to challenge his pastor on theological points when he feels they contradict the truth of the gospel. Pastor Moses has a standard way of dealing such questions, but it’s not very beneficial to anyone… come on Pastor Moses, wake up!

Wrong Question

Of all the questions Pastor Moses could ask John to learn more about the finished work of Jesus and the revelation of God’s grace, why did he choose to ask John a question about his church attendance?

Where Are You Being Led?

The Spirit said he would lead us into all truth, but where is Pastor Moses leading his church members?

How To Get Pastor Moses’ Attention

The secret to getting Pastor Moses’ attention doesn’t seem to be in sharing a glorious revelation about being ‘in Christ’, but there is one way to make his eye’s light up…

Critical Spirit?

It seems every time John tries to talk about the greatness of Jesus, and the trust we can have in his finished work and the reality of our New Covenant, he is labeled as having a ‘critical spirit’… But John doesn’t have a critical spirit, he’s just searching for grace…

WMC (worship mediator complex)

Peggy has a bad case of “WMC” (worship mediator complex). The thought of Christians not needing a ‘worship leader’ is terribly insulting to her!

Dodgy Theology

In Pastor Moses’ books, it’s not what you say, but how you say it that counts. It doesn’t seem to matter what theology Pastor Moses believes… what is important is that he communicates it in such a way that it sounds amazing… just don’t think about it too much.

John just wants an honest answer: What did Jesus mean when he said the Father desires us to worship him in spirit and in truth?

Bird like faith

Why on earth would Pastor Moses listen to anything the birds have to say?

Sure, Jesus mentioned something about them being an excellent example of faith… but on the other hand, they don’t attend his church services, they don’t tithe, they don’t even understand the ‘spiritual principle’ of sowing and reaping!

Sowing And Reaping

Pastor Moses doesn’t seem to even realise that Jesus taught the complete opposite to what he is trying to convince John about concerning ‘sowing and reaping’… and as for those lazy birds, how could they possibly be able to teach the mighty Pastor Moses anything?!

“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?” Matthew 6:25-26

Who Needs To Be Evangelised?

Pastor Moses is going into overdrive in his efforts to push his church members to evangelise.  John is a little concerned.  After all, if they don’t even understand the very basic truths relating to the gospel of God’s grace, what exactly will they be telling people?
