Remember the old days, where churches had steeples and stained glass windows. Remember when there were pews, and a choir that sang edifying hymns to our Lord? Remember those days when people wore suits and ties, and ladies wore dresses and heels, trying to present their best to our God? Remember those days when children … Read more

Megachurch pastor, Andy Stanley, of North Point Community Church gives his congregation an “improv” of Pope Francis, suggesting that Pope Francis will someday die to be with our Lord, Jesus Christ. “After I go to be with the Lord, when I open my eyes in the presence of Jesus…” he says, improvising a statement from … Read more
This Sunday morning, hundreds, if not thousands, of teenage boys and girls will attend services at a North Point Ministries church. These young people are the next generation of the visible church in America. They are the mothers, fathers, Sunday School teachers, and voters of tomorrow. They are being shaped in their Christian worldviews by … Read more
At this point, let’s not deceive ourselves into thinking that Andy Stanley’s churches are populated by regenerate, bible-beliving Christians. In 2016, after Andy Stanley’s derisive comments about small churches stirred up controversy, I published an open letter at this website urging whatever believers were left at North Point ministries to leave. In 2017, I published … Read more

The criticism mainly stems from a December 7th interview which was broadcast on iHeartRadio. During the course of that interview, Daigle was asked whether or not she thought homosexuality was a sin.

Dear Andy, I have a lost friend who grew up in a Baptist church but later left the faith. He is in the demographic you are trying to reach. I know this because I have read your ridiculous book Deep and Wide. I am all too familiar with your wrong-headed and unbiblical mission to create … Read more
In Ephesians 4:13 we learn that pastors and teachers are to equip the saints “until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God…” Paul admonishes believers to pursue unity in the faith. And we should have one goal — to bring glory to God. Under no circumstances are Christians … Read more
Dear Dr. Craig, Do you remember when Gracie met Truthie? I do…but I’ll come back to that later. On your last Reasonable Faith podcast you defended Andy Stanley’s “the Bible Tells me So” sermon remarks, specifically against the written criticism of Dr. Albert Mohler. Before you defended Stanley and provided your analysis of the difference … Read more
Andy Stanley has taught the idea that the Bible can not be defended as Inerrant, Infallible, Inspired, and Sufficient. He has taken his church and congregation further into heresy and apostasy by claiming that the particulars of the incarnation and deity of Jesus Christ actually are not important. He has said:“If somebody can predict their own … Read more
One of the Monday through Friday daily activities I engage in, during my morning commute to work, is listening to John MacArthur’s daily radio broadcast.
