Church? Hell No

Dennis Hall and his guest Pastor Jay Powell, Church at the Beach, Panama City Beach, Florida begin this podcast by reviewing the lawless immorality that is being reported in the news. From the long-awaited report from the special counsel John Durham to the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team inviting a group of drag queens who dress as nuns and mock Christianity, Catholics, and Jesus in obscene ways to their stadium with the intent of presenting them a pride night award, these pastors are concluding that we are in a time where immorality and lawlessness have spread across American culture. Everything seems upside down. Bitter is sweet. Right is wrong. Evil is good. Evil seems to be growing like a cancerous tumor in the U.S. Not only has there been an uptick in violent crimes, but drug overdoses are now the number one cause of death among adults ages 18 to 45 in the United States. The secular view is that evil is a myth. However, the Scripture suggests a different source of evil. "Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour." (1 Peter 5:8). After discussing the seven deadly sins found in Scripture, these pastors remind the listeners that mankind is the perpetrators of corruption, and that God sent his son Jesus to free us from these earthly chains and offer the gift of eternal life.

The Scripture teaches what is necessary to make prayer effective and also points out what prayer should not be. How prayer is depicted in Scripture is reviewed.

Dr. Dennis Hall and Dr. Michael Milton discuss the labeling that is occurring in our society and how neglecting the Scripture, prayer, and fellowship is impacting the spiritual journey of believers. The signs of spiritual regression are outlined. Spiritual regression has led to the inability to define a woman, sin-sick men dressing as women to compete with biological women in sports, and putting on drag queen reading times in schools and libraries. and surgically and chemically attempting to change the sex of children.We have entered a time of enslavement by category. These theologians discuss the dehumanization that is taking place in America and the five stages of dehumanization that leads to totalitarianism. They note that nonviolent civil disobedience to expose the untruthfulness of totalitarian propaganda and the injustice and immorality of their policies may be necessary since logical debate is not possible because the secular woke are delusional. They conclude by agreeing that the only solution is divine intervention and urging believers to call on God in this time of waywardness. Can also be seen on YouTube at:

Ordained minister Dennis Hall and Pastor George Whirley, New Creation Restoration Church and Prison Ministry, Indianapolis, Indiana tackle the subject of sin. The definition of sin, where it came from, and how we should go about killing sin is explored. God did not create sin and he has never been involved in attempting anyone. They explain how we are caught in a battle between God and evil forces. Our battle tools are the Bible, the Holy Spirit, developing a hatred of sin, suppressing our deceitful desires, developing a radical allegiance to God, not intentionally opening the door for the entry of sin, resisting conforming to secular culture, admitting our failures and confessing our sins, avoid becoming resigned to the sin that surrounds us, and using the church for reinforcements when things seem overwhelming.

Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, highlights survey results that show almost 60% of 18 to 30-year-olds say they don't believe in the biblical accounts of Jesus' bodily resurrection.

Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, uses the school shooting at a private Christian school in Nashville Tennessee that took the lives of six people including three 9-year-old children as a platform to talk about what happened in the garden of Gethsemane. After having the Last Supper with his disciples, Jesus took his three closest disciples, Peter, James, and John to a place called the garden of Gethsemane so he could pray. It is here that Jesus asked the question that many of us are asking today, "Why the suffering! "Everyone suffers because of the sin and transgression that occurred in the garden of Eden when Adam and Eve disobeyed God. It was in the garden of Gethsemane that Jesus taught us how to respond to pain and suffering in the midst of our anguish. When we yield to God's will, knowing that he is using it to achieve something great in our lives, he will give us the grace to endure and grow in Christ-likeness.

Ordained minister Dr. Dennis Hall describes the role of the human eye in our existence. The powerful role that the eye plays in communication is discussed. He sees the human eye as one of God's great miracles. The vivid images that are displayed in our brain are due to the unbelievable way the human eye processes reflected light. As prophesied in the Old Testament Jesus healed large numbers of the blind in his ministry. The miracles of Jesus are still unbelievable today. Jesus is asking that we submit to the possibilities of healing both physically and spiritually. Can also be seen on YouTube at:

Ordained minister Dr. Dennis Hall discusses the public's fascination with the Alex Murdaugh trial which lasted five weeks and was broadcast live inside the courtroom on cable news outlets and spawned several podcasts and at least two documentaries. He highlights the public's hope that the jurors would not be persuaded by the defense's arguments. The rush-to-judgment phenomenon in our society is part of the discussion. "A fool gives full vent to his spirit, but a wise man holds it back. . . Do you see a man who is hasty in his words? There is more hope for a fool than for him."(Proverbs 29:11) The Bible teaches two sides of the subject of judging. John chapter 8 Jesus teaches his followers and medics about judging in the story of the adulterous woman. Whether we judge or not judge is not the question – how we judge is the question!

Ordained minister, Dennis Hall, and his guest Pastor George Whirley, New Creation Restoration Church, Indianapolis, Indiana take a look at the pleasure-seeking society of America where an Insatiable pursuit of drugs, alcohol, sex, possessions, and power exists. Their discussion begins with the  Good News and the gospel of Jesus Christ. They address the question "Is what we say enough for salvation?" Time is spent talking about lukewarm Christians.

Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord' did we not prophesy in your name and then in your name drive out demons and, in your name, perform many miracles? Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me you evil doers!"
