Re: Bott 2023

Why is modern Pentecostal preaching so focused on mental self help and coping with being miserable?

I mean, does anybody teach the Bible anymore? Does anyone have a message for the Church, giving direction? Or is God only concerned with telling His people "There, there, it'll be alright" like the church is either a baby that needs burping or a psych patient that is being doped up with meds?

I really don't get it either. Society in general focuses too much on the self and not enough on serving others and having a greater purpose (just about any greater purpose would be better than sitting around moping).

Did that happen? Just heard that was all.
Bro. Morgan preached a great message, he gave a powerful testimony. I encourage anyone to look it up and listen, “The forgotten Message of Calvary”.

Re: Bott 2023

Some of these big conferences have to deal with these issues because it is so prevalent in the churches. Depression, Anxiety, Fear, etc…is running rampant in many churches. And I think a bing part of the problem is as a church trying to be modern, in a modern time, using modern ways has damaged the faith and spiritual understanding of so many! We as the church can live in a modern age and use the technology it brings, yet we always rely on the Spirit for our direction and spiritual insight into whatever comes our way.

There was a church that had a saying, “Bringing a First Century Church to a 21st Century World”.

In some areas it’s no longer like that. Don’t believe me, listen to messages from 20-30 years ago, and compare notes to todays messages. The anointing has been tainted with big words, fancy tablets, etc…

I wish churches would stop with the stupid colored lights. And the romantic songs to Jesus.

Re: Bott 2023

I've seen several photos and posts of Mickey Mangun and Tennie McCarty, who is a licensed therapist (not Apostolic). McCarty has been to POA to speak with the ministry there as well.

Could someone who was there and heard the context please tell me what this means? I could interpret this in a couple of different ways. Perhaps I'm reading too much into this. But the meme lacks needed context.
