The Poultry Pulpit

 
Picture
Our Church History is blessed by great men & women who served and many martyred for the sake of the Cross

In contrast today I see too many 'churches / ministries' led by folk standing behind .. POULTRY PULPITS
  

Chicken Preachers reading redacted version of God's Word to appease the masses, and 
​
Turkey Preachers subverting God's Truth for fame and fortune. Let me expand below.

Picture
Chicken Preachers share often inspiring messages but are short of sharing the Gospel message. Chicken Clergy share 'how to have a better life now' while treating Jesus like our personal life coach rather than our savior. Chicken Preachers believe words like sin, repentance, and salvation are divisive, outdated 'churchy words. Chicken Preachers are more afraid offending society than offending God. They lack conviction and/or understanding on Biblical teachings regarding race, gender, and sex  but instead blend with this world's BLM, CRT, and LGBTQ+ agendas like clergy chameleon. 
and they ignore Jesus teachings like..
-"Do you think I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I have come to divide people against each other! Lk 12:51".
-"
and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. Mt 25:32", and
-"
Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. Mt 7:13-14".

This kind of talk would have a certain negative affect on attendance and giving.



Picture
Turkey Preachers are fame, glory, and money based 'ministries'. For Turkey Preachers it is less of a calling from  God, and more of a career choice based on Enneagram personality test with Benny Hinn financial aspirations. Turkeys Preachers desire to be followed by thousands instead of leading thousands to follow Jesus. Turkey Preachers focus on personal wealth over helping those in need, and spreading the Gospel. Their motto.. The Turkey Preacher who dies with the most toys wins? 

​Easy Turkey examples are Big $$ Faith Healers, Prosperity Gospel / Name it Claim it folk, self proclaimed Prophets, & red neck adrenaline junkie Snake Handlers. 


Picture
I want to be clear now, I am not calling megachurches or mega-ministries POULTRY PULPIT PREACHERS'. God bless all (big and small) who focus on the word of God rather than personal anecdotes and jokes. God bless all who serve those in need with or without abundance. God bless all who share the full Gospel Message that we are sinners and  all need a savior.

Finally, I pray I am not a chicken or  turkey with my faith.  Do I live my life with love for God and others? Am I faithful to God's Word in a world that mocks His truths? Am I willing to stand strong in this  secular world or do I blend in? Dare to be a Daniel.


That's it. I pray God finds all of you good folk to be bold, faithful, loving for Jesus and involved in a church with a preacher behind a feather free pulpit.

Blessings

You are preaching the Truth, brother. One preacher holds up his bible. But I have not seen him read from God's Word. Am I missing something?

  • On a bad day The Back Pew (vol 1) is still useful under the leg of an uneven coffee table.
Laughter is just a CLICK away
