Critiques of Hank Giesecke Article

I ran across a great article by Hank Giesecke at the following location: Harbingers Article.

The Men’s Conference “Pole Dance” Follow Up

Well, once again Christian megachuch pastors are falling all over themselves to smooth over ruffled feathers. After Mark Driscoll gave a Holy Spirit driven rebuke of a pagan display from the platform of a large men’s conference, he decided to return and give his planned message. Of course the spineless pastor Lindell is just giddy …

“Christian” Men’s Conference Evil Opening

There is a story on CBN about pastor Mark Driscoll calling out the opening event at the Stronger Men’s Conference.

The Apostasy Now regarding the arrival of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to be with him, we ask …

Visioning a Home Church

Starting a home church is not to say there are not good churches out there. I am sure there are but I can’t find one. I know there are pros and cons but the loss of the local neighborhood church is tragic and even unbiblical and the further down the dark road this country goes, …

Why can’t I find a church?

I wrote this but wrestled with the notion of actually posting it because it’s kind of personal. But it is my blog and my personal faith journey and maybe someone out there will resonate with some of this. Maybe not. Anyway.,. I’ve been searching for a church for about 18 months. I’ve been unsuccessful. The …

Personal Interpretation of the Bible Part 1 – Biblical Illiteracy

A recent poll said that only 17% of Christians in the US indicated the Bible as the primary influence on their perspectives about the current war in Israel against Hamas (Survey). This was a distant second to the media (44%). Another poll from stateoftheology.com for 2022 indicates that among those who identify as evangelicals, 77% …
