CHURCHWARNINGS 15-YELLOW JOURNALISM

CHURCHWARNINGS 15
YELLOW JOURNALISM
9TH September 2007

There’s a saying, ‘ If you can’t beat them, don’t just join them, lead them”.

God’s watchmen have been rightly warning on heresies, deceptions and false teachings. These are drawing attention of many.

The household of the false leaders, in their ‘market research’ have found that the Christian public loves sensational ‘Christian news’. So the machines are churning out sex scandals of leaders to divert the minds of Christians from fundamental issues, that of false teachings, heresies, deceptions. You will please note that their links to those who for years have misled the church with prosperity and positive thinking gospels, remain intact and unbroken.

But now church, beware, these are those who at best can only be termed ‘yellow journalists’, who come under the guise of ‘deception busters’. They are solely fixated on exposing the sexual and the physical, and not go to the root to examine the spiritual/ biblical foundations of the preachers, who are so alienated from God, and so focused on the love of money that sin, is but a natural consequence, for such as these.

Such ‘yellow journalists’ will not go to the root, not point to the heretical nature of the teachings, nor offer biblical remedies. They titillate with news snippets.

Gossip columnists.

They are seeking to hook the readership to themselves. They are doing this to enrich themselves. Are they grieved at the state of the church? Do they have the whips from God to cleanse the temple?

There may be several false heretical teachers who do not commit ‘sexual’ sin, but because of that do we then refrain from exposing them?

Church are you hearing from God’s watchmen or from ‘yellow journalists’?
