We live in the internet age and subsequently the information age. Blogs inform us 24/7 about anything and everything imaginable. You can become aware of what is happening almost as soon as it has happened.
Information is readily available about so many things that it almost at times brings on an information overload. It has created an almost information entitlement mentality in many people. We feel we have the right to know about things that are not even our business and do not affect us.
While I love the idea that we have the ability through technology to provide truth to people I disagree with what some believe truth is. I recoil at the idea we all need to be in the know about things that have no bearing on our lives.
Why do we have the right to know things that are of no consequence to us? I reject the notion we need Blogs telling us secrets that ought to be confined.
So called Christian forums defend their value because they spread the news about things that otherwise people would not know. We used to call that gossip. Now we applaud it and call it transparency.
Thirty years ago there were very few conservative media outlets. Facts we needed to know were often kept hidden by the mainstream media so we were left without recourse because we were uninformed.
The response was an entire new type media rising up that gave us the information to make the informed decisions we need to make. I applaud these outlets as being necessary in keeping our nation free and true to the tenants of our constitution as intended by our founding fathers.
Enter “Christian” forums and Blogs that attempt to copy the style of expose journalism. They make it their business to expose things that are really none of any ones business. I expect the lost world to gossip and slander, but I expect better of Christians.
Do not misunderstand me. I believe the internet is a wonderful place to fight error and to teach truth. However, when it comes to matters of a local church, many times they become a place to learn the latest “scoop.”
How is it that heathens like Tricia Lacriox or Jeri Massi can be “trusted” vehicles of information that they and their fellow demonettes desire ONLY for the purpose of destruction? Why would we go to them for our information? Worse yet why would we believe their information?
The answer to that question is troubling. I hear people say it is because that is the only place they find out what is going on. WAIT! Why do you need to find out what is going on and why would you trust avowed enemies to the cause of Christ to be your informers? That is nonsense! It is also evil! Let me help you with something. You do not need to know!
Allow me to give you an example. Where do these information streetwalkers receive their information? A church is dealing with a situation that is horrible. Someone on the inside has information and they give it to the proper authorities in their church and for their ears only. These authorities deal with the problem.
However, there are evil individuals with info who are moles and who will be judged of God for their wickedness. They garner information not for the purpose of helping, but for sharing with those in bloggers sphere who disdain soul winning independent Baptist churches.
Do they report the number of souls saved the previous week, the number of converts baptized, the Sunday school attendance, the lives salvaged, or any good being done? NO! They are like vultures who do not see the beauty, but rather only the carcases of the dead.
These are haters of soul winning churches. Their STATED goal is to destroy those soul winning churches. They want these churches to go away so they find the things they can use to condemn and twist in order to accomplish their goal. THEN, WE READ IT!?!?
These forums and blogs create arguments, bickering, slander, strife, and discord among the brethren. These demonettes rejoice because they have accomplished their goal of casting a curse on that which they despise. Anyone who questions them is then attacked for “covering sin” or “enabling sinners.” These demonettes are morons! They have no idea what they are writing about.
I have been in these horrible situations where sin overtook a life and that sin affected many others in terrible ways. I have been forced to call the police and meet with families both to tell them what their loved one has done as well as what someone has done to their loved one.
I have caught the tears of a wife and children whose husband had committed a sin that was also a crime and we all had to allow justice to run its course.
I have also had that horrible task of trying to console parents whose child has been victimized by that one and then to do my best to help that child deal with trauma of the wickedness perpetrated against them.
I did not have the luxury of getting online and spewing out accusations as though I was some kind of pseudo victim’s advocate like Jeri Massi and like critics do. I have had to face the horribleness of sin from every angle and then have the wicked Tricia Lacroixs’ and Jeri Massi’s of this world come behind and slander a local church and attempt to wreak it with their godless havoc.
Jeri Massi loves to point to Russell Hirner, but what she does not tell you is that within two hours of discovering what he had done he was in jail. We called the police immediately and personally took him to the jail house.
Jeri, you never called me to ask because you did not want to know the truth. Truth would hurt your claim to fame. You live off of victims hurts! You are the biggest hypocrite of all of them! How many other lies have you told on good churches and good pastors?
You didn’t spend the night catching tears and listen to the cries of the innocent. You did not spend hours helping the families and victims. You did not have to go to the church and stand up and tell them of this awful sin. You did not spend dozens of hours weeping and searching for help for the people affected by this awful wicked sin.
Where were you Jeri? I don’t remember getting a call from you offering your help. You only arrive after the sin and the crime. This is your only claim to fame. You live off of the sorrows of others! How despicable!
I do not read these forums nor do I have a secret code name so that I can anonymously respond to their nonsense. I have no use for them, and I have more pride AND SENSE than to waste my time arguing with fools.
Yes, I hear what they say from those who are confused by their writings and want to know how to deal with it. My answer to them is simple, “Ignore them. Stop reading it.”
However, I am not so foolish as to think most of them will. It is like the Jerry Springer Show. As crazy and stupid as it is, people will watch because they are voyeuristic by nature.
If I have something to say I will say it here on my Blog. Thousands of people read it every week plus I know that these forums will give me all the publicity needed to spread the truth further.

I have pastored, taught, and preached the Bible, won souls, walked with God and helped people for over 40 years. I fear no man or especially a loud mouthed woman.
No forum solicits one ounce of concern to me. God will protect me and He will judge the perverters of truth. I am 100% convinced that the judgment on these gossips and destroyers will come from God with great fury.
They will claim victory in situations like Jack Schaap, but BE ASSURED, THEY HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. God brought him down not them! They can beat their chests for being the first to gossip about it, but they are not God’s deputies for justice. They are Hell’s messengers. They mock me and others who report souls saved while eagerly receiving and spreading gossip of fools.
You know it is interesting that the people who frequent these sites love to cast stones at people who are in the work of God and attempting to serve the LORD albeit imperfectly.
However, these same people put their trust in individuals whose lives are filled with wickedness and show no desire to reach the unsaved with salvation. They do not care about the things of God. They have a destructive agenda.
SIMPLE PRINCIPLES
- Everyone does not need to know everything. Many business people say, “People are on a need to know basis.”
- The personal situations inside a local church or business are not the business of outsiders
- People looking in from the outside can only make judgments based on speculation and/or bias.
- Quit putting yourself in the frustrating position of knowing about problems you have no way of solving and are not supposed to.
- DO NOT listen to or read gossip. Learn the difference between doctrinal rebuke and smutty slander.
- All you need to know about Jack Schaap is that he sinned and fell. Pray for him and others involved.
- Once a gossip site finished with the issue that prompted it they will begin to expand their meddling into other churches and situations. It is an insatiable appetite they have created.
- If they are sowing discord among the brethren they are not of God.
- Condemnation is of Satan and they love to condemn.
- Keep you opinions to yourself and avoid the opinions of evil people with an agenda of destruction.
- Keep the main thing the main thing which is soul winning.
- If you are busy doing the right things you will not have time to listen to the wrong things.
- Idle chatter turns into idle gossip. All gossip is bad even if it is true.
- As my mama used to tell me, “Son, mind your own business.”
- Grow up! Do not let them scare you with their garbage.
- Consider the source. They are losers!
- The second you hear something bad about someone, immediately pray for them.
- Quit partaking even as a spectator in vigilante justice. The forums have become unspiritual mobs who lynch others.
- Do not argue with fools.
- Grow in grace rather than in judgment.
- If you do not know about something assume God does not want you to know.
- If you cannot control yourself on the internet then get off the internet.
- Do not buy into their “righteous” justification for their attacks. They are liars and deceivers. “By their fruit ye shall know them.”
- You have enough to answer for in your own back yard.
People tell me all the time that I am being attacked and of course these gossips love to challenge me on my Blog. Most of the time their comments are not intelligent enough to even deserve an answer, but every so often a sincere challenge comes and it opens a good dialogue.
When a friend tells me what they read about me on a forum or blog I reply with a question, “What are you doing reading the Forum?” Read good material not garbage from these informers. I have written 31 books. Order some of them. Do not associate yourself with those who sit in the seat of the scornful.
A godly country preacher was asked recently if the things being written on the internet were affecting him. He replied by saying, “I am like the old boy that went to the doctor and said, ‘Doc, I broke my arm in three places. What should I do?’ The doctor replied, ‘You probably ought to stay out of those places.”
Oh, I know many will not heed my advice, so don’t be surprised when you become a casualty. IF a few people are helped by this and understand the wickedness of filling their minds with this ungodly stuff, I will be pleased. If this helps no one, I know I did my best to speak the truth.
Philippians 4:8, “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.”
GOTTA LOVE THE OLD TIME RELIGION!
