Discovery just did a documentary on the tragic fall of Hillsong Church. They showed just how toxic the culture of this church really is through their depiction of Carl Lentz, Brian Houston, and the commercialization of church culture. Is this toxic culture just a Hillsong problem? What can we learn from Hillsong and the Hillsong documentary?

There's no better work on soteriology than John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress. It also happens to be my favourite book so today we're going to exegete some of the theology on display in this beautiful narrative. I hope you find it helpful.

We have a major problem in the Christian church with celebrity culture. This past week has proven it with all the issues coming out of John MacArthur’s church - Grace Community Church. What’s perhaps even worse is the reaction so many have had in immediately defending their favourite preacher. Why do we do this? Why do we build up leaders into idols only to be devastated when they inevitably fail us. And what is a biblical pastor anyways? All this and more on today’s TheoLIVE.

Bruxy Cavey, John MacArthur, and others have recently had various types and levels of abuse reported on in their churches by Julie Roys. How are we supposed to think about this? Today we will focus on physical abuse and while we are far from experts on this important issue, we have been through several occurrences of abuse within the church. Our goal will be to have a healthy and biblically grounded conversation on how to deal with abusers and comfort victims in the local church.

Who is the next John MacArthur? Who will take his place as pastor at Grace Community Church? Well, the way this conversation is being discussed I think reveals more about how people think in conservative circles. We all know celebrity pastors like Carl Lentz, James McDonald, and Mark Driscoll have all abused the celebrity culture of mainstream evangelicalism. But is celebrity culture JUST for those who are in the middle or even progressive side of evangelicalism? What about conservatives do they have a similar problem? Today we'll be talking about a trend that I think shows that yes conservative Christians also face a danger in raising up men to blindly follow and sometimes even idolize.

There is so much suffering in this world, so how can a good and sovereign God allow this level of suffering? How can evil exist in a world under God's rule? These are some of the hardest questions that we must ask, yes I said must, in our lives. The problem of evil and suffering is a difficult topic, but it is not a topic that the Bible does not speak on. In God's Word we can find a lot of clarity on this topic.
