As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. ~ Gal 1:9 (KJV)
When a church cannot discern the message of Christ from the message of "motivation", it should be concerned.
So it is with the message of alleged pastor and retiree Shane Perry within the Grand Ole church. Dr. Perry, as he is known, took the time to not only announce his retirement, but to say that he hasn't believed in the bible for a number of years and hasn't preached JESUS for over 10 years.
Perry's claim is that the bible is flawed, full of contradictions and Jesus is like any other person of antiquity, and some of the bible is good just like other religious books are good in some places.
Is this the gospel? Then, what's more, how did he infiltrate the church?...I am sure, more than a few pastors are calling him right now, saying, "Man, we praying for you DOC"..."Doc"...what kind of DOCTOR destroys the object of faith and uses the church, because we are so hungry for such attention, to enter in and help influence people one way or another?
Watch the video and hear this backslidden minister for himself:We should deal with our desire to be "entertained" as well. Many folk made Perry their favorite preacher because he is a White man, sounding and delivering a message like he was a Black preacher. A person reported to me that everyone in a certain Jurisdiction would stand around saying, "Preach White Boy!" as if they were enthused by his skin color and ability to act.
Who is PROTECTING THE SHEEP?
The WOLVES are devouring the sheep and the shepherds are asleep...lulled into a stupor by this pied piper. We have allowed a person who doesn't even venerate the object of our faith, according to that persons own words, and welcomed him and his "knock-off" and K-Mart blue light special discount message to infiltrate the church...This man has preached a NON CHRIST centered gospel by his own words and we have eaten it up. Further, we can't wrap our minds around the fact that this man was NEVER saved, but just a pretender getting what he could get while the getting was good...Now we have folk confused. some even defending him and his actions yet calling him, the "anointed" of God that should not be touched...
I am almost willing to guarantee that someone, some pastor or Bishop, even after hearing his complete story and rejection of Christ, will open their pulpit and Jurisdiction to him in the name of "love" and "mercy"...in part, because they are also in the same vein of Perry, unbelievers in the pulpit!
Conclusion

This is my last post on this man unless he repents and finds Jesus, because he is not my idol and just another sinner that needs to be saved, but this is sad for the church, many congregations and believers holding on, and many leaders.
SAD...DECEIVED...OFFENDED...SET ON OUR EAR...
Next, we will also deal with our continued falling away, displayed by our new reception of the Greek system of Sororities, Fraternities and secret societies in our youth meetings and AIM Convention. Once we (COGIC) were a stalwart against such evil and could distinguish a gospel message from a motivational message of this new generation speaker, but we have lost all discernment. Preachers and magicians such as this, are no longer afraid of COGIC pulpits and we have no discernment. LORD HELP US TURN!
1-Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks; 2-I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars: 3-And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted. 4-Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. 5-Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent. 6-But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. 7-He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.

Please allow me to give credit where credit is due...2 things...Shane never asked anyone to venerate him like they do. People have made an idol out of him because he can perform. Well, that is all he knew to do and folk rode that horse until they couldn't ride it no more. 2- When he saw YOU weren't going to not call him and didn't care what he was preaching as long as you "felt good" he sat himself down. That is honorable.
ReplyDeleteThen folk talk about PTSD...he may have an issue and hope he gets help, but the church has certainly helped. If he says he hasn't preached a JESUS message in 10 to 12 years, and folk keep calling him, that would be a source of mental stress. The modern church only cares about "my blessing" and "my breakthrough"....little is said about personal holiness and the one who saves us from our sins...that is sad.
When leaders and listeners can't recognize this, its even more sad. So SHARE the blame for the person you've venerated suffering this implosion. If you had taken him aside and said, "listen, something ain't right" you possibly could have saved his life. But evidently, he didn't hide his beliefs, you just continued to worship him anyway.
This is more of a mess than you think and Shane is only a part of it...the real mess is what the church has become!
