An unusual story caught my eye this morning.
The pastor of a church in Kentucky is promoting an event that encourages his flock to come and pray fully armed. I love this!
From the story: New Bethel Church is welcoming "responsible handgun owners" to wear their firearms inside the church June 27, a Saturday. An ad says there will be a handgun raffle, patriotic music and information on gun safety. "We're just going to celebrate the upcoming theme of the birth of our nation," said pastor Ken Pagano. "And we're not ashamed to say that there was a strong belief in God and firearms — without that this country wouldn't be here." The guns must be unloaded and private security will check visitors at the door, Pagano said.
His last statement about guns being unloaded makes this event symbolic. But I like the cut of his jib.

Yeah, the "unloaded" part doesn't really jibe with "welcoming responsible gun owners".
Baby steps...
The New Apostolic Reformation branch of the Assemblies of God has been preaching “another Jesus” for quite some time now — their teachings bear very little resemblance to anything found in the Bible.
There’s a ditch on both sides of the road — these guys are every bit as heretical as churches who encourage gay marriage, and they have the potential to do FAR more harm.
Just google “New Apostolic Reformation”, “transformations”, or “joel’s army” and see for yourself.
Here’s what St. Paul said about people who preach another gospel:
“But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. 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.” Galatians 1:8, 9
