Greetings Joel, in Jesus’ Name!

I have been cautiously observing your teachings from afar for months now and God continues to check my spirit regarding your ministry. The last few weeks I have been so grieved by this that I have had to ask the Lord to help me either cast off this weight or identify it. Since then He has placed in my heart a desperate plea to steer fellow believers away from your message. You are unwittingly entertaining the spirit of anti-Christ and your deception is not only leading the ignorant believers away from the true doctrine of faith, but selling the sinner a lifestyle without “Life”; without a knowledge of sin; without the need for repentance; hence no need for a Savior; therefore no Salvation. The message is once again “all about you” and is damning a vast hoard of both willing and innocent participants to a perverted truth of our beloved Gospel through Jesus Christ alone!

I try not to say a lot about things that are just personal differences, but this is poison my brother. Your feel-good doctrine is leading people away from Christ as being the ONLY way to the Father through repentance of our sin and acceptance of His sacrifice. My heart breaks for you and I pray that you will allow the Lord to correct you in this before you are guilty of leading more of the masses away from Jesus! God has used many in the Body of Christ, just like your father, to mightily raise His Word as the standard for everything we do, yet you don’t even seem to be sure what that standard is.

Joel, your message is positive and gives decent life changing lessons, but it’s not directing them to recognize they are a sinner and deserve hell. They will be good people still damned for destruction in eternity. They need to know the Gospel-the “Good News”, and they won’t recognize it until they realize they are facing “Bad-News”. Maybe you are not aware, but it appears that your followers are convinced that they are owed something from God. God owes us nothing! We should bow in awesome fear and reverence to Him, gratefully abandoning our own agendas for the sake of His purposes to be accomplished.

You’re message gives “dead” people “purpose”. Dead people don’t need purpose, they need life! Then when they come to Christ for Life He will give them purpose!

Joel, you are being touted as the next Billy Graham and given the title of “America’s Pastor”. Billy Graham preached of sin and the need for repentance; he preached that Jesus is the ONLY way to the Father. These are not a part of your core teaching. Please Lord open our eyes.

Please consider the dis-continuation of such teaching until you have given the Holy Spirit a chance to bring correction to your doctrinal stance, as I truly believe it will be detrimental to yourself and all who go after your following.

Below are various transcripts from CNN programs which interviewed you. The hyperlinks will take you to the full transcript for your review. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you see through the deception into the error that is so evident, then please take the few minutes necessary to read the below excerpts. I know you were there, but I’ve seen the videos and read the transcripts and they confirm that you’re stand for Christ, Holiness and Righteousness without compromise are shaky to say the least.

I pray God’s wisdom on us all as we continue to pursue only Him and I will continue to pray diligently for you my brother!

God bless,
