Evil Within The Church Gathering

If your church gathering is encouraging Pokemon by being a place for the monsters to dwell for those who play;

If your church is showing the C.S. Lewis movie, "The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe" as an evangelical outreach;

If your church is defending the use of books like "The Shack";

Then get out of those places, they are not walking in the Holy Spirit, they are promoting evil within their own congregations to bring in the unsaved using the worlds evil to do it, and chances are good they will not listen to correction on these matters.

These things are very big clues that leadership does not understand what it is to seek the Holy Spirit and obey Him.

Deuteronomy 12:3-5
"…3 "You shall tear down their altars and smash their sacred pillars and burn their Asherim with fire, and you shall cut down the engraved images of their gods and obliterate their name from that place. 4 "You shall not act like this toward the LORD your God. 5 "But you shall seek the LORD at the place which the LORD your God will choose from all your tribes, to establish His name there for His dwelling, and there you shall come.…"

It's Not About the Preacher!

Preachers would be more interested in hiding behind Christ than they are in receiving accolades from others, if they walked deeply with Christ. There are far too many preachers looking for popularity and results than there are seeking Christ to glorify Him.

As for the Pokemon Craze!

As for the churches that are using themselves and their buildings to accommodate the "Pokemon" craze, this is what God has to say about it.

Deuteronomy 12:4 "…3 "You shall tear down their altars and smash their sacred pillars and burn their Asherim with fire, and you shall cut down the engraved images of their gods and obliterate their name from that place. 4 "You shall not act like this toward the LORD your God. 5 "But you shall seek the LORD at the place which the LORD your God will choose from all your tribes, to establish His name there for His dwelling, and there you shall come.…"
