Leading toy brand, Mattel, is launching a gender-neutral Barbie doll. These dolls are geared towards kids who are “non-binary,” “non-conforming” or “gender fluid.” The toy line, Createable World, lets kids design their doll to be a boy, a girl or “neither.” Including different clothing, skin colors and hairstyles to celebrate “the positivity of inclusivity.” Kim … Read more
A certain clip from Matt Chandler in which he appears to be doing very clear “product placement” is raising eyebrows around the Internet. That same clip is now being used by the company – a phone app – to advertise it. Product Placement, also known as embedded marketing, is a marketing technique in which a … Read more
The Village Church, pastored by Matt Chandler, is well known for being “woke.” But apparently, that wasn’t enough to satisfy the organizers of the Circles Conference, which is billed as “a three-day creative conference for graphic & UX designers, illustrators, and makers.” David Roark, who is the communications and resources director for The Village Church, … Read more
Matt Chandler, the once-sound pastor of the Village Church is partnering with extreme voices of the charismatic movement in September of this year, including Michael Brown and Hillsong impastor, Christine Caine. Chandler is speaking at the Convergence Conference, which has the theme of divine healing. Storms and Deere are two less extreme charismatics, but are … Read more
Matt Chandler is ‘woke.’ The charismatic-pentecostal who masquerades for some reason as a Baptist is a leading figure of the hyper-sensitive, beta male, evangelical snowflake leadership guild. Once considered theologically serious, Chandler is now widely thought of as a grossly compromised spiritual leader whose theology is little better than the average of what you might … Read more
Over two years ago, I wrote a piece here at Pulpit & Pen entitled “Resetting the Evangelical Mindset on Nabeel Qureshi.” Qureshi was, at the time, a darling of the Christian apologetics community and an up-and-coming speaker with Ravi Zacharias International Ministries. I expressed concern that the popular and well-respected apologist was participating in an event, Together 2016, with … Read more
Matt Chandler is fully “woke.” Not only has Chandler turned The Villiage Church into a Social Justice Center and partnered it with radical Islamic extremists, but he has joined the choir of anti-Trump voices who feel the need to apologize to the world for the way evangelicals typically vote. For the record, I did not … Read more
Matt Chandler shares his “prophecy” on James Robison’s TBN show several years ago. Of course, TBN is the central hub of modern day Montanism, so this is actually quite fitting. This is where Chandler first came out of the closet as a Montanist and shared this “prophecy” with the world.
Matt Chandler is now on the same page as Bethel Redding’s Shawn Bolz regarding kooky ways of doing charismatic things. Watch the video comparison below. Bolz and Chandler describe God giving them words to give to people, and describe receiving really bizarre mental impressions from God, apparently. People have been watching Chandler for a while, … Read more
Watch this video from AD Robles. Matt Chandler has walked off the plank into the deep end. If God has (supposedly) given you a nonsense vision that is impossible to interpret or verify and serves no purpose whatsoever, it’s a pretty good indication God’s not given you that vision at all. In reality, God is … Read more
Something eventually happens to everyone who calls themselves a Charismatic Calvinist;” they eventually become all of one thing and none of the other. Like with Mark Driscoll, the charismatic side of the Charismatic Calvinist grows and grows more wildly out of control as claims of dubious supernatural manifestations grow so pervasive that it strangles out … Read more
Now these Jews were more noble than those in Thessalonica; they received the word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so (Acts 17:11) This short passage about Paul’s interactions with the Bereans has been used for thousands of years as emblematic of commendable discernment. Having come from Thessalonica after … Read more
Okay, Christians. We need to have a talk about Matt Chandler. We like Matt. Who couldn’t like Matt? He’s a great preacher. He’s entertaining as can be. He handled a nearly-terminal brain tumor like a God-glorifying champ. He gets the Gospel. So there’s that. We should applaud him for all those things. But that’s not … Read more
Russell Moore and the ERLC have never issued any statement against the racist, Marxist, pro-homosexual group, Black Lives Matter. In fact, as the leftist group torched dumpsters, vandalized property and terrorized cities, Moore and the bleeding-heart left of the evangelical industrial complex oozed sympathy for the group. As the group ramped up its protests, Russell … Read more
Matt Chandler just made an excellent move. As we explained in this post, Matt Chandler announced that Village Church was leaving behind the unbiblical multi-site church model. Of course, he didn’t call the model unbiblical and he explained that making the churches autonomous was a part of a “vision,” but still, it’s an improvement. … Read more
