#283- Men's Underwear




We have become a denomination of TMZ nonsense. Our  most famous ministers:
-Lee Stoneking knows how to put makeup on and believes God judges people by how long the strands of their hair are. (yes, I admit the cliche)
-Jeff Arnold here, here, and if you want commentary: here

Our most famous youth pastors will be getting a salary of 30k for the rest of their life at best. And of those hundreds of QVC-like Apostolic salesmen who do what they do because it gives them the rare space to play dress-up, only a dozen or so will preach at some event beyond their local youth rally...

Unfortunately one of those dozen happened recently:





Apparently, there is an epidemic of sorts among the males of the UPC. And this epidemic is as "query as can be." And all I was thinking was, can you imagine a day-care worker or business owner caring as much about his/her's clients underwear as to discuss their underwear out in the open.....

 So in lieu of writing an overly long diatribe and pointing out how far the preacher in question has steered from the Cross (he's obsessing about underwear), I'll instead present a monologue against one Nathaniel Haney....

*Rant can be downloaded. Consider the audio a mini-podcast*

  2. I know Nathaniel Haney and was once very involved with his church (I have since moved to a different city). There is not a preacher I know of that is more focused on the cross. All I see here is he was making somewhat of a joke while commenting on how the lines between male and female in our culture have been becoming more and more blurred. This really should be taken within context of the full sermon.

    1. I'm not sure anything can be said to the writers behind this blog that could possibly convince them that they have could have made an error in a post such as this one and the proceeding one. Regardless of whether you believe this is right or not, from a completely objective perspective, I do not think that creating a satirical or serious critique of any minister is creating disunity amongst the body of Christ. I would love to discuss this more in depth with you, me, and Pastor Nathaniel Haney via telephone conversation if you wouldn't mind. Simply to make sure that a unity amongst the brethren is kept and so you can personally ask him some questions yourself regarding any kind of confusion you might have encountered in the brief (no pun intended) excerpt from one of his sermons.

  3. I once was a member of a church where the preacher preached against women wearing pajamas (they might look at themselves in the mirror and think "I look good in pants!"), and after that I stopped wearing pajamas and started sleeping nude.

  4. I have concluded this website is disgusting because it attacks the Lord’s anointed left and right there are things to die for and I’m done seeing this whole movement of ridiculing the people of God I know no one is perfect but God is and God uses people to be catalysts for His glory and the thing to die for here is the kingdom of God and the people God has chosen

  5. How do you know who GOD has truly chosen? I'm not one to say GOD has chosen you or not chosen you but I will say that for the most part from what I can see is there are men out there that "claim" to be one thing but have different M.O. and use the church to cover up what they are doing personally I have lost all faith in so called "CHRISTIANS" I was born and raised in a upc church all of 40 years of my life and I have personally watched a "upc" pastor cover up a crime

#150-Holy Magic Hair (sort of)

Preface: As with many posts, the claims made in this post are far from being definitive to the whole apostolic movement. In fact I has been very surprised and pleased with the openness of many apostolic officials and higher ups to denounce the doctrine of "magic hair" as a heresy in recent months. It must also be noted that whatever controversy may be derived from this post, the thoughts are not really my own. Many men more articulate and intelligent than I have already tried to openly combat this theory and have done so in a far more effective fashion than I could. For the most comprehensive understanding of Holy magic hair, please visit  http://holymagichair.com/wordpress/ . Also note that this is not a criticism anyway in uncut hair, nor is it advocating hair cutting. I'm critiquing a doctrine that has developed around long hair. Okay, when I originally started SAL, I had a post about HMH (holy magic hair) in mind. However, after a beloved teacher of mine spoke o...

#115-Dressing Up For Church

Editor’s Note: At the Stuff Apostolics Like blogging institute that consists of a simple blanket fort made out of a giant blanket and two kitchen chairs facing back to back some 5 feet apart, we wrestle from time to time on our purpose….. Remembering to take a minute and laugh at ourselves is our number one goal. However, I readily admit that this goal can come across cynical and overly deconstructive in it’s ambitions. So today, in this blog I want to introduce to you a new wing of a blog topic that seeks to build on our understanding and not destroy… It’s the slightly informative/slightly humorous/slightly obnoxious blog entry…And with this blog entry a side purpose is to educate as well as laugh. Of course these blog types will be few and far between, but let this serve as a forewarning as to not confuse when they do arrive….. without further adieu, The age old custom of dressing up for church isn’t so aged and isn’t so old. First, there is no record of average congre...

#280-Jeff Arnold and His "Idiot" Friends.

So basically this happened last week at Because of the Times (no, not the Kings of Leon album, but the preacher's conference that was named after the album): And by "this happened" I really mean a Jeff Arnold sermon-rant to formally announce his senility. Literally, the dude was Khrushchev slamming his shoe on a podium, a rambling Richard Sherman in a postgame interview, a conservative Michael "Shame on you Mr. Bush" Moore at the Oscars. In short, Jeff Arnold pulled a Kanye in front of anyone who matters in the UPC. And it's not like we didn't see it coming . For those who haven't been paying attention to Twitter or simply got wise enough to not really care one iota about the ongoing Reality TV tragicomedy that is the UPC, let me tell ya, you're missing a whole lot of chuckle moments. But to catch you up to speed.. here's the run-down of Mr. Arnold's sermon: -Confesses aspirations to be lauded by God as one of the greatest ...
