![]() ![]() ![]() This wouldn’t be an issue in the slightest if the content of what he preached was adequate, but given the fact that heresy has escaped his lips without him batting an eye, it makes him particularly dangerous. He has a means of captivating the undiscerning through his inflection, repetition, and word-choice, meaning he’s a good orator. So why do I find this so particularly dangerous? Why write an entire blog post for 111 little words? He’s a winsome speaker. The power of God was in Nazareth, but it was trapped in their perspective.” ![]() I see y’all looking at me like, ‘Is that true? I thought He could do anything.’ It said, ‘He could not.’ He wanted to. Even Jesus cannot override your unbelief. ![]() One thing that even the son of God can’t do. And there’s one thing that even Jesus can’t do. Because it was trapped in their unbelief. “The power of God was in Jesus, the healing power of God, the restoring power of God, the same power that made demons flee was in Nazareth, but Jesus could not release it. In a recent sermon by Steven Furtick, he proclaims: If super soakers, Lego props, and the like were not clues enough – surely, the words of his mouth will serve as ample witness. He is not the most obviously damning teacher, but he surely is one I’d say is the most cunning in his deception of the flock. Flee from him, lest your soul also be ensnared to hell. Thus, I write this not for Steven Furtick – it is doubtful it would reach him, more doubtful he’d read it, and even more doubtful it would change his mind if he did so. With respect to this, one can only conclude he willingly embraces his role as a false teacher. The issue here stems from the fact that Steven Furtick is not qualified to teach in any capacity, nor does he heed the harsh warnings for teachers. It is no small wonder Paul gently instructs young Timothy to pay close attention to his life and doctrine, for if he retained sound doctrine, he would ensure salvation for both his hearers and himself. If he is genuinely in Christ, the best he has to hope for on this trajectory is to be saved, but only as one being snatched from the fire he will lose all he has built (1 Cor. Indeed, we know that Steven Furtick wants to be a teacher, but he does not understand what he is saying or that which he so confidently asserts (1 Tim. Regardless of his credentials, we know that any who teach shall incur stricter judgment than the standard Christian (Jam. ‘And there is no other way to be saved but to confess with your mouth Jesus is Lord, believe in your heart God raised him from the dead you shall be saved.’īut that one parenthetical insert ‘without a doubt.’.While he may be unqualified in numerous areas, the key one that is readily apparent to those with an open bible is his striking inability to adequately teach (2 Tim. ‘I believe, without a doubt, that Jesus Christ is the son of God and the savior of the world, today I give you my life.’Īll of it was good, all of it was appropriate. “That’s the part he should have left out. “Lord Jesus, I believe that I’m a sinner in need of a savior, and I believe, without a doubt….”įurtick zeroes in on that particular expression. And I make mistakes up here too, but to me he made a really big mistake when he was praying the prayer.īecause he was inviting the people to pray and he said “if you want to give your heart to Christ today, and know for sure that you have a relationship with him, pray this. “And now while I believe this campus pastor meant well, but what he said I had to correct him on later. This was done so that the newly minted Christian might have a moment where they could look back and say ‘that’s when I put my trust in Christ.’įurtick calls that prayer a ‘sacred moment’ positioning it as a moment between man and creator and that “It’s not a time for someone who’s preaching to start sharing their opinions.”įurtick elaborates why he was so upset with the actions of his underling. Recently showcased again on preachers vs sneakers by racking up his condemnation for love of clothing that costs more than most people’s rent, the newly minted star of the hive of scum and heresy known as TBN recounts a teaching opportunity he had with a church pastor in an unearthed 2017 Christmas sermon.įurtick reminisces on a campus pastor that was giving an altar call and was leading a potential convert through the sinner’s prayer. Steven Furtick has corrected and rebuked a campus pastors for telling new converts readying to pray the sinner’s prayer ‘ I believe without a doubt that Jesus is Lord’, arguing that it is sinful to give them that false confidence and assurance, declaring they would be lying if they professed that certainty. It is not current, but it has value in being achieved. The story was written up before we were able to place the clip. Apparently, this story came out in early 2018, but received little traction and barely a mention. ![]()
