Controversial, scandal-ridden “pastor” Ed Young of Fellowship Church releases his first recorded rap video at C3 2010. Putting Baptists to shame isn’t he? Pretty much speaks for itself.

Speechless. My mind is active, but my lips are numb because of what I’ve seen and heard come out of Ed Young’s mouth in the video. Endorsing heretics and telling people its okay to be like them. TD Jakes, Joel Osteen, Rob Bell, etc. I do believe that Paul Washer was right in saying that those men are judgment upon the people who follow them. Ed Young – James 3:1. For those who follow Ed Young – 2 Tim 4:3-4. Sad, sad, sad. How many souls will be claimed by men like Ed Young leading people to the entrance of hell?
Thank the Lord that He is not surprised by this as much as I can’t help but be. Praise Christ for His victory and promise that He will surely fulfill when He returns. Maranatha!
Justin,
When you said, ” I do believe that Paul Washer was right in saying that those men are judgment upon the people who follow them ” , I could not agree more! I heard John MacArthur say the same thing a number of years ago referring to Warren, Hybels, and Schuller.
I believe the narrow vs. broad paths are being played out before our eyes. Even ‘professing Christians’ follow the narrow/broad principle. Some are real and follow the narrow way and most are phony and follow the broad (worldly) road that leads to destruction.
ed b ed on da judgment day
an’ watch the angels carry him away
Great poetry. Chilling reality. I really do hope that he will repent.
I want my 4 minutes back. Junior needs to be slapped, hard. He has NO discernment or wisdom. The list of miscreants that he thanks demonstrates that he is more at home with post-modern emergents than with blood-bought children of the living God. His whole message reminded me of something one his mentors declared a while back: “God is most pleased with you when you do what you’re wired to do.” More here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OvyyEIEDqrQ
Wow, now that I have finished puking my innards out, what a bunch of bovine scatalogical material! Who is Ed’s rap persona, Her-A- Tick??? What a load of crap!
He distanced himself from traditional, Biblical Christianity and sidled up to Hybels, Osteen, Jakes, Warren, Bell, … Wow. This is sad. I always asumed Ed was corrupt by his style over substance ‘ministry’ position but now the rabid cat is out of the bag.
I would rather hear Bev Shea sing “I’d rather Have Jesus” any day!!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHDSInoUP0I
I would not look really deep into it. I think Pastor Ed was poking fun but there are some truths. Churches are now competiting for members. It is all about who has the best entertainment. It is so sad. What happen to preach the gospel of Christ?
Ken,
I’m not sure we can say there’s not much more than poking fun to this stuff. While that may be partially true, I believe it reveals who he is. For instance, if I or Joel T. or someone of the faith were making a spoof video, we would certainly not distance ourselves from scripture and cozy up to semi-pelagians, heretics, and self-love gurus…would we? Nah, we wouldn’t.
I do agree with you though that Ed is like many other pragmatists. They do whatever it takes to keep the moolah rolling in… even selling their souls to the devil.
Yes, it is sad…very sad. You said it right when you said, “What happened to preaching the gospel?”
Ed, UB acting very foolishly…repent!
New here….Love the content and response to these guys
My wife tried to defend Osteen for a bit right up until his denial of Jesus being the only way on Larry King show. (I tried my best not to say “I toldja”
)
We’re going to be in Muscle Shoals AL next month and hope to stop by and say ‘hey’ to Paul Washer and thank him for his boldness
Thanks for the forum!
In the UBU video at the 0:32 mark (hit the pause button when you get there), Ed Young waves his bible in front of a gold plated grill with a big grin on his face. Please take a real good look at that. Similarly at the 1:28 mark he signs for money and then gives a thumbs up sign as he says he wants “book deals like Rob Bell.” “Apostates face an interesting dilemma. They frequently become so lost to honor, so lacking in decency, so indifferent to disgrace that they often don’t care who sees their sin, especially in their own inner circle. They wear it arrogantly like a badge of honor. In Jude’s words, (v.13), they become like “raging waves of the sea, foaming up their own shame” (John MacArthur The Truth War pg. 141-142). “In 1 Timothy 6:5-6 Paul speaks of “people who are depraved in mind and deprived of the truth, imagining that godliness is a means of gain. Now there is great gain in godliness with contentment.”” (John Piper Battling Unbelief pg. 92).
“If you want to know what you ought to be doing with your life, you ought to look at your shape. …If He wired you to be an anthropologist, be an anthropologist; if He wired you to undersea explore be an undersea explorer; if he wired you to make deals, then make deals. Did you know God smiles when YOU BE YOU. Some people have the misguided idea that God only gets excited when you’re doing spiritual things. …The bottom line is God gets pleasure watching YOU BE YOU” (Rick Warren on video speaking to attendees of a Technology, Entertainment, Design conference in 2006 as replayed by alittleleaven.com 02.01.2008 Pastor Rick Warren’s Lie). Nothwithstanding Ed Young’s remarkably similar phraseology to Warren, when Jesus began His Sermon on the Mount, He tells the attendees to be poor in spirit, to mourn over our sinfulness against God, to kneel before Him in submission, and to hunger and thirst for a righteousness not our own (Matt. 5:3-6). He goes on to say, “If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask Him” (Matt. 7:11)! When Jesus tells me I am evil, and to be broken and contrite over my sinfulness against God… and need to beg for His work to be applied to my life and need His Spirit dwelling in me, and others say simply YOU BE YOU, the contrast is stark. God is not pleased with any one who rejects His Son, regardless of what they are doing (see Psalm 7:11). And for those who receive His Son, He says, “Whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God” and “in the name of Jesus Christ” (1 Cor. 101:31 and Col.3:17 respectively). So, everything we do is a spiritual thing: an act of worship, or rebellion, before God.
I was watching a video about EY and infant baptism and one of the clips they showed he (Ed Young) mentioned Louis Vuitton and he opened up his suit jacket and read the label on his designer suit.
It said something like Tony something Made in Italy.
EY seems to me (what I have seen and heard of him) to be VERY flashy with his possessions.
Showing off his old house in a MTV “Cribs” style video, showing off a $15,0000 Espresso Machine ( I don’t know if it’s his or not), talking about his Kenneth Cole boots in a sermon, making dumb videos such as the U.B.U. video. etc.
I’m SO glad the Lord opened up my eyes before I trekked to Grapevine to visit Fellowship Church for a service.
I was a home team leader at Fellowship until I left in 2005. I was told (along with others) in no uncertain terms that I would be required to ask people to LEAVE if they did not join & start giving to the church. It was the last straw of what I finally realized was a greedy, for-profit (Ed’s) entertainment venue rather than a Christian church. I think Ed will eventually face judgement, but I hurt for those poor souls who don’t know any better than to revere him.
Doc,
A friend of mine was also a small group leader in that “church” – several years back. He quit when he could no longer accept the authoritarian rule. Being a former Jesse DuPlantis follower, he was still working out his theology.
EY is a plague on the church, every bit as much as Rick Warren or Joel Osteen.
