I was listening to Tauren Wells latest album, and being fond of R&B style music I’ve always enjoyed his music. Generally, I don’t delve too deep into the artist’s beliefs and evaluate the messages in the music alone as I’ve found what my interpretation is varies from the artist’s intent. And what is in your mind while listening/thinking about and praising God is what really matters. But one particular song made me look into Tauren Wells and what I found was shocking.
Tauren Wells joined the staff of Joel Olsteen’s Lakewood Church in Houston, TX, and has started preaching. Joel Olsteen is a false teacher who really reflects the New World Religion with multiple paths to God instead of the narrow gateway of Jesus Christ. Worth pointing out, I’m not God and can’t look into a man’s heart, but Tauren Wells has certainly been seduced and joined himself with a seriously false teacher who is leading people astray. And as John MacArthur points out below, Tauren has aligned himself with a Satanic system of false religion. Consequently, I watched a portion of Joel Osteen’s service once and I don’t know know if it was a tell for lying or a demonic possession indicator, but while telling this terrible new age style story he did the strangest eye blinking.
Consequently, it’s also possible that Tauren Wells is just an opportunist making money from Christians by parroting Christian messages in music or even a willing Satanic agent. There have been many artists like Lecrae who had good doctrine in their music in the beginning, but then drifted off becoming more worldly (or backing off the facade). Looking at Lecrae’s Wikipedia page today it reads like a spook’s bio with all the connections. And spooks don’t usually write their own books, and I see Lecrae has written two books.
A consistent sign for agents (like Freemasons) trying to corrupt God’s church is a call to unity, and that would be unity with false Christian liberal denominations and the Roman Catholic church which deny our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. And true followers don’t have fellowship with those that deny Jesus and what He did to reconcile us to God which is the foundation of our faith and the meaning of life.
For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh. Such a one is the deceiver and the antichrist.
2 John 1:7
Everyone who goes on ahead and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God. Whoever abides in the teaching has both the Father and the Son. If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house or give him any greeting, for whoever greets him takes part in his wicked works.
2 John 1:9-11
I’m reminded of what our Lord and Savior said:
For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul?
Matthew 16:26
