At the very least, I think God's Gospel of Jesus has gotten lost in the shuffle at this church in recent times. Pastor Smith is preaching a "golden Jesus," and as it stands, a false gospel of money and prosperity, fame and "you can have whatever you say." A gospel of false prophecies and trumped up "miracles." If it is impossible for God to lie, and satan is the father of lies, and Pastor Smith is giving false prophecies and practicing "Charismatic exaggeration" (lying about miracles by blowing them out of proportion or repeating tall tales without any attempt at documentation), then who do YOU think is REALLY at the helm of this ministry? I'll give you a clue - I personally don't think it's God...not so much, not anymore. Extremely sad. Ah, but that’s the thing, “man” -

I wonder if some of us would stop to think if God has actually called us to tear down the ministries he has raised up. Because he hasnt, I will guarantee you that. Oh the devil loves division, false prophet here false prophet there, What are you scared of!? as long as christ is preached right. Anywho, I salute you integrity, and your seeking. God bless Well Kudos on this post man.
