I don’t get it… is this his sermon??? If his problem is ‘people watching the pastors play a video game’ and wondering how it constitutes ‘church’, what is this supposed to constitute? A) He’s just complaining from a pulpit about absolutely nothing relevant to salvation, and B) it just sounds like he is rambling… and finally C) I highly doubt this message carries any relevance to his members; I mean, is he afraid they’re going to switch to a ‘liberal church’? I guess I’d just have to sum this up with WOW. Simply, WOW.

This guy needs to read (his KJV of course) Matthew 28: 18-20. Maybe then he will understand that its OK to have more than 17 people in your church….sorry, i’m just one of those liberals

Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers

In the face of all this silly, shallow religion, I am grateful NewSpring has chosen to not grow weary in doing good.

The amazing thing is..you can watch a NewSpring “one word” service and hear scripture. You listen to this guy’s you tube post..and he just asserts personal preference. He doesn’t even offer biblical evidence of why his view point is superior. I believe he is just spreading propaganda.

As a member of Newspring, this video absolutely infuriated me at first, then I remembered my very first reaction of Perry and of Newspring Church. I too, was raised with “The Rules and regulations of Church”, and the Newspring services are very different. However, God is using Perry in an amazing way to reach people and getting them to accept Christ. I thank God for him. I praise God for including me in the vision Perry has and allowing me to be a part of this wonderful and innovative church! I pray that Steven Anderson will one day see and understand the vision of Newspring Church. Love in Christ be with you!

My favorite part is when he quoted Paul as if Paul spoke in the Old English vernacular.

I have not watched the video yet, I am in Panera Bread without ear phones, however just from the description I have to say, these kind of people irritate the fire out of me. I was influenced with this kind of bondage in my most impressionable years as a child and a teenager, thank God he freed me! (My wife still reminds me of my folly - KJV word!)

My mom went to a church in Greenville…she had a a parallel Bible, NIV/KJV or something like that, and the preacher’s whole message was about KJV only, he stood at the door shaking the 30 or so people’s hands on the way out…she said she felt like hiding carrying the Bible he just bashed.

My biggest issue from growing up in this junk, is that Satan uses this it to distract from people getting saved. Why spend all of that time bashing New Spring, when he could have been sharing the Good News and leading people to Jesus? Its a shame!

And we have to love this guy. Love him in a way that shows compassion for him. He was raised to to get angry like this. He saw it in the church that he came from. He’s encouraged by the people that he knows and his mentors to think this way. He has a single understanding of what Christ calls us to and it’s tradtion and old-time religion more than love.

Yeah we’ve got to love him. Show him that he may not agree with our ideas but he can’t argue with our love and if he does argue with our love then we know were his heart is.

Maybe we should all send him an email that says “We’re sorry that you are offended by our ideas, but we love you and will honor you.” I challenge everyone to send him an email and simply say that and then sit down and pray for him. His church’s email address is Info@faithfulwordbaptist.org. Lets fill his inbox with love.
