June 28, 2022: Essence: Meet The Father-Son Duo Aiming To Fill The Spiritual Gap Through Film & TV
Bishop Wayne T. Jackson and his son, Royal Jackson, had a lot to celebrate—indeed to shout about— this Father’s Day. To be sure, the two men praised God for their innumerable blessings—from life, health, and strength to love, legacy, and laughter. But this year, they were not just grateful for their precious bond in paternal kinship. Father and son are in a newfound business relationship as C-suite peers at Impact Network, the faith-based channel that the elder Jackson founded in 2010.

For the first time in nearly two years, the Unadilla House sits empty, no longer home to a rotating cast of residents who have long been the subject of local controversy.
Unadilla Mayor Jack Insinga credited “dedicated community members” with the ouster of the occupants.
In the ensuing six years, the house has been twice owned by CitiMortgage, once by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and most recently by Great Faith Ministries International, a Detroit-based megachurch led by Wayne T. Jackson, an outspoken supporter of former President Donald Trump and cofounder of the Impact Network, which bills itself as the “fastest-growing and largest Black-owned faith-based TV network.” -Sarah Earnes; Daily Star 8.23.21

Feb 2023: Texas Monthly: THE PASTOR OF DALLAS’S FIRST BAPTIST ON W. A. CRISWELL, DONALD TRUMP, AND GOD HIMSELF
Jeffress, who grew up in the north Dallas suburb of Richardson, had spent his childhood attending First Baptist. “I studied every sentence of Dr. Criswell’s sermons, and I read all of his books,” Jeffress told me. “When I was fifteen, God called me to become a pastor, and I remember going to see Dr. Criswell to tell him what God was leading me to do. And he said, ‘Well, Robert, I want you to spend your summers learning every part of this church. I want you to work in the children’s area, the mission area, the music program . . . because one day, I believe, it will all be yours.’ He knelt down with me and prayed that God would prepare me to become the pastor of First Baptist Church.”

February 21, 2023:
I love this comment from Beth Moore. To me it exemplifies how the GOPgelicals and a large percent of evangelicals operate. They know that if they call something evil...it is a linguistic mechanism that means "I have already passed judgment" so there is nothing more to discuss. It then escalates in to vitriol and/or ignorance that short circuits the great commission of "going and make disciples of all nations." As we move toward the Last Days, Jesus said there will be deception by false teaches. "Take heed that no one deceives you. For many will come in my Name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and WILL deceive man (Matt 24:4-5). More and more people will search for leaders (politicians included) to deliver them, and they will seek mystics and religious leaders who claim to have deeper knowledge. Dr David Jeremiah pointed out that "Our society is characterized by a culture of toleration that works for everybody but Christians. There is acceptance and understanding for all sorts of immoral behavior, yet the world considers it unacceptable to speak of absolute Truth. In response, many (Dr Jeremiah used the word "some" but I think the word "many" is more applicable to now, and we are moving to "most" instead of "less") anyway, many churches and pastors have departed from sound doctrine. This isn't just another trend. It is a spirit of deception taking hold of our culture. |

Jan 23, 2023: New Republic: The Rise of Spirit Warriors on the Christian Right
A final point on the politics of Spirit Warrior Christianity: It is an easy fit for those who wish to dismantle democracy and entrench minority rule. Election denialism and other conspiracies find a comfortable home in the paranoid mindset of spiritual warfare in a demon-haunted world. An organizer of the Jericho March that preceded the attack on the Capitol of January 6, Robert Weaver, stated that God wanted Americans to march around “the spiritual walls of this country.” The Reverend Kevin Jessup, who spoke at the event, said, “This battle cry is a Christian call to all Christian men … as we prepare for a strategic gathering of men in this hour to dispel the Kingdom of Darkness.” Father Greg Bramlage, who conducted an exorcism on stage, told the crowd, “We are in a spiritual battle, this cannot be solved by human means” and prayed that “no demonic bondage, door, entity, portal, astral projection, or disembodied spirit may enter this space.” Bishop Leon Benjamin, senior pastor of Richmond, Virginia’s New Life Harvest Church, said, “The demons we kill now, our children will not have to fight these devils. These are our devils, and we will kill them now.” NAR leadership networks served as key mobilizers.

"The “church” is the community of God’s redeemed and empowered people. The church institution and its leaders exists to equip God’s people. God’s people do not exist to equip the institution. Ministry is not what we do within the church institution, but what we do to manifest the reign of Christ in the world".

June 17, 2020: Christianity Today: Moody Apologizes Over Historical Blackface Photos
Regardless of when these photos were taken, or what the intent of the students was at that time, these pictures are shocking and deeply offensive. As senior leadership of Moody Bible Institute, we come together in this letter to deeply apologize for these photos and the underlying ignorance and the racist foundation blackface represents,” wrote Moody president Mark Jobe, addressing the 1974 and 1984 yearbook photos.

In early 2013, it was announced that Shady Grove Church in Grand Prairie, Texas, would become a campus of Gateway. The transition started in March 2013. The Grand Prairie location seats around 1,500. The campus is off of 161 (The President George Bush Turnpike) and Carrier Parkway. Pastor Mark Jobe served as the Campus Pastor. In 2015, the Grand Prairie campus averaged 1,784 people per weekend.
Mark Jobe; Executive Pastor Gateway Church Gran Prairie Campus
Saved: Born again during my sophomore year in high school. I surrendered to the ministry my junior year and began traveling and speaking in churches my senior year.
Education: Attended Liberty Bible College and Criswell Center for biblical studies from 1979 through 1983.
Previous Lines of Work: Been in full time ministry for over 30 years
One of the Things I Find Most Fascinating: The power of God to change even the most impossible situations. I have watched God take lives and marriages that were over and turn them completely around. On a lighter note, I am amazed how a thermos can keep cold things cold and hot things hot! Have you ever wondered how it knows the difference?

Feb 14, 2022: Christian Headlines: Bethel Church Launches 24/7 Prayer Campaign for Beni Johnson amid Cancer Battle
Bethel Church recently launched a 24/7 prayer campaign for Beni Johnson, the wife of senior pastor Bill Johnson, who is battling cancer.
Bethel Church recently launched a 24/7 prayer campaign for Beni Johnson, the wife of senior pastor Bill Johnson, who is battling cancer.
Bill and Beni Johnson, two of the church's most senior leaders, have been accused of heretical conduct for what they believe in and teach. Bill, for example, included the Biblical truth in his book, "Jesus Christ is Perfect Theology," that God always intends to heal someone.
Beni, on the other hand, had been criticized for her focus on angelology Previously, she was claimed to have said in a blog post that is no longer available, that there are "different kinds of angels" who had "fallen asleep." And when she posted images of herself on the graves of well-known Christians such as C.S. Lewis, she was accused of "grave soaking" which was eventually called "grave-sucking."
Lloyd wrote: "Many wild suggestions have been made of the activity within these walls of 'wacky cheer'. It should be made clear that, initially, I, too, was the one who stepped over students laughing on the floor, inwardly judging their reactions to the presence of God. My secret conversations with the Lord however, would always confront my judgement for another's enthusiasm. Just as I was once encouraged by great art directors in London to let creatives take a risk, so too did I need to ensure I made space to allow their zealous spirit to encounter God, however that may look." -Sarah Mae Saliong; Christianity Daily 11.26.21

The pastor of Rapid City's Dove Christian Center learned Friday that his Haitian friend and longtime ministry partner, Pastor Serge Coulanges, had survived the 7.0-magnitude earthquake that devastated the small, impoverished country. A soon-to-open three-story hospital that Coulanges recently built in the Port-au-Prince area, largely through Dove Christian Center's financial support, had its top floor heavily damaged in the earthquake, but the building was not destroyed...."This guy is Jesus with skin on," Johnson said of Coulanges, who has visited Rapid City numerous times in the 37 years since the two men met. "I was so excited to hear that he's OK." -Mary Garrigan ; Rapid City Journal 1.15.10

Johnson gave the ABC reporter his interpretation of End Times theology, which includes heeding prophetic signs, such as an increase in natural disasters, escalating ethnic strife in the Middle East, huge leaps in scientific and technological knowledge, and the ability to travel rapidly around the world and far into the universe.
"Jesus said to look for these signs, including when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies," Johnson said.
When asked what his church's response would be to global cataclysm, Johnson told ABC News that it should not despair. "I told him we wouldn't go hide in a cave and eat frozen foods. We'd be about our Father's business. You keep on doing what you're doing, but you look up," Johnson said. "It wouldn't be cause for despair, because we have hope." -Mary Garrigan; Rapid City Journal 8.28.06

Jeff Johnston felt a sexual attraction to other boys in adolescence and also found himself fascinated with pornography.
“I struggled with my identity — who am I, what does this mean about me if I have some of these feelings,” he said.
“I asked God to take it away, and that didn’t happen.”"When I go into prayer with someone and they're praying for me, I've never heard them say, 'We pray for this to go away,'" Johnston said. "In prayer time, it was an issue God brought up, and God brought healing to it. That's how prayer works."
He’s now the culture and policy analyst for Focus on the Family, an evangelical Christian broadcasting and media organization headquartered in Colorado Springs.

- Yes, but: While "Pastor ChatGPT" can do "an adequate job of assembling a string of facts and propositions about a topic," it's a "bit of a didactic bore" and "no real preacher," Jones wrote.
- Plus "it can't do visitation, like meat-and-potatoes pastors do," he tells Axios.

Widespread belief in the resurrection of Jesus is an opportunity for the Church, a missiologist has said.
Findings from the Talking Jesus Report published last year revealed that 45 per cent of the UK population believe in the resurrection of Jesus Christ and according to the people behind the report, that statistic should be encouraging news for churches as it can serve as a stepping stone for evangelism and conversations about faith within the wider community.
Dr Rachel Jordon-Wolf, Executive Director of HOPE Together, told church leaders gathered for The Briefing in London on Thursday that the resurrection is "key" and "a lot of people have some level of belief in it and we have to help them with that".

The first time I picked up material written by Rick Joyner I immediately sensed the spirit of darkness and deception. Reading his material is similar to reading New Age materials.
Joyner worked part-time in a Raleigh jazz club after leaving the Navy but quit when, as he put it, he "found out there is a God." He subsequently moved to Jackson, Mississippi and founded a charter air company. Rick Joyner and his wife, Julie, founded MorningStar Ministries in Jackson in 1983. In the mid 1990s Joyner was one of the all-male members of the "International Advisors-At-Large" to the evangelical Christian women's organization Aglow International.
In 1997 Joyner purchased 320 acres of land in Wilkes County, North Carolina near Moravian Falls and moved the headquarters of MorningStar there from Charlotte. By 1999 his "religious empire" was grossing $8 million dollars a year and was denied a religious property tax exemption by the North Carolina Department of Revenue. Department director John C. Bailey said that "[w]ith MorningStar there are a lot of tracts with costly improvements that affect tax liability significantly...If we did not limit exemptions, it would increase the burden on people, like you and me, who own homes that are not affiliated with any group." MorningStar appealed the Department of Revenue's denial. Joyner is an adherent of Dominion Theology, which advocates the involvement in and eventual takeover of civil government by Christians
