Probably because he's the flamboyant pastor of a large church in the upstate, so he attracts a lot of attention. Why we need multiple posts about him every day with the same people making the same comments in every thread where he's mentioned, I don't know.

Sep 25, 2013, 1:18 PM

a "blatant con" unless you've just got it out for him from the start, which many of you seem to. Every church has to teach tithing and finances, and every church needs money to survive. It's not like they're different in that way from any other church, with the exception that, as a non- denominational church, they've got to finance everything they do on their own instead of relying on money from a central church body. That, and I suppose, non- denominational churches face bigger financial obstacles because they've usually got a lot more casual attendees who move around than more traditional churches do, where people have grown up going to the same church.

They're far from just surviving off of their tithes, they're thriving...And that's a big part of the criticism...where is the money coming from and where is it going? From what I've read and seen, very little is going to charity and the like.

I went and listened to his sermon on tithing...


Sep 25, 2013, 4:24 PM [ in reply to Oh, they're doing just fine in the financial department ]

just to see what they were actually saying, and according to what he said less than 10% of people are tithing.

He also made a point of saying that if people just thought New Spring was trying to take their money, then they should go and give their tithe to another church. And for the people who think New Spring is a cult trying to separate themselves from the Church, he continually identified New Spring with the Christian Church at large.

Honestly, the only thing I was uncomfortable with was his suggestion that there might be financial blessings when we give our lives (our finances being a part of our lives) to God. However, the first blessings that he mentioned were spiritual blessings, and financial blessings were just one of the types of blessings he mentioned. I suppose you could call that legalistic, but the whole point of the sermon was giving everything to God because God can't be outgiven.


Finally, he specifically preached against the prosperity gospel: "I don't believe in prosperity theology, because here's what prosperity theology teaches: you give to God, in order to make him give back to you... The motivation is wrong. We don't give to God just so he'll start giving to us. We should give to God even if he didn't give back to us."

I don't know about millions, but...


Sep 25, 2013, 4:46 PM

they have like 25,000 members, so it would take many of them tithing or a few people offering larger amounts to have a big budget.

I looked through their annual report, and it looks like a large majority of their income comes from tithes and offerings. Apparently they also spend about 10% less on staffing than the average church with more than 10,000 (but, for those who don't care for large churches, this may not be a big deal).

Sep 25, 2013, 12:03 PM

I've heard the concept used before and in the right context it makes for an interesting conversation that allows for the explanation and discussion of what exactly is a blessing from God and that they are often (primarily) non-financial.

However, put it in black and white in that form and it sounds nothing short of the prosperity-gospel run amok.

Noble: Now, God...I've noticed you've been a little slack on your blessing this month. I'm gonna have to reduce your allowance until it picks up.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Another more charitable interpretation...


Sep 25, 2013, 12:37 PM [ in reply to They are putting themselves on a higher level than God ]

and, I think, the one more consistent with what New Spring seems to be trying to do there, is that they're letting their church members see for themselves how their discipleship is deepened when they tithe, and for those who see no point to it, they're fine with give their money back. Not knowing exactly the context this is in, I can't say for sure, but simply noting that "blessing" will come when we make financial lives doesn't mean they're promising people that they'll get rich and be happy. In fact, in the proper mindset, the sacrifice is itself transformed into a blessing.

However, something like this certainly could encourage the bargaining mindset you mentioned, and that particular page on their website doesn't really discourage it. They are edging a little too close to the "prosperity gospel" heresy of people like Joel Osteen.

For those of you who don't care about this point of theology, though, I would think the fact that they will refund money they're given would convince you that they're not just trying to take people's money.

TV preaching...more specifically name it and claim it, or prosperity gospel.

What do you think is the connotation that most would see in the word "blessing?"

Even beyond monetary..."blessing" is good things happening to you.

when the gospel simply does not bear that out. The blessing IS Christ...and though he slay me, yet I'll serve him. HE is our blessing.

The 100% tithe challenge.
Just have all of your pre-tax income forwarded directly from your employer to Newspring. Because Newspring is a Not For Profit (wink wink), we do not have to pay taxes, and your income will be tax free! I know what you’re thinking: how will I live and eat and support my family? Not to worry! Newspring will provide places for you and your family to live on our compound I MEAN campus. Newspring will provide food as well. Have a car payment to make? Have a mortgage payment? No worries, we will make it for you (just email ownershiptransfers@newspring.biz for details). What better way to give yourself 100% to Christ than to give 100% of your income?

Sep 25, 2013, 12:27 PM

But, I really have no interaction with either so I don't hear what is said from the pulpit (though I did attend a few Lakewood services while down in Houston just to experience the spectacle, they do put on a great show).

It is interesting how similar the doctrinal statements of both churches are though:
http://newspring.cc/newhere/beliefs/
http://www.lakewoodchurch.com/pages/new-here/what-we-believe.aspx

Now the general consensus is that Olsteen is moving farther and farther away from the church doctrine that is father had instilled at Lakewood as pastor.

Sep 25, 2013, 12:44 PM [ in reply to Oh, I agree ]

that it takes a true doctrine of Christianity and twists it towards something other than Gospel. I would guess that most of what Lakewood teaches is going to be pretty consonant with what more orthodox evangelical and reformed churches teach, with the exception of the whole prosperity gospel thing. It's not like everything they're teaching is wrong, or like God can't use a heretical church to bring people to him. So it shouldn't be surprising at all that their doctrinal statements are similar.

Re: respectfully


Sep 25, 2013, 5:11 PM

Ok Cam... Ill chime in. And I usually stay out of the Newspring conversations because I get fairly heated. I went for 2.5 years. Me and my wife. We were highly involved and my wife helped start the special needs program there. We constatnly brought up the concern that we did not feel like we were being descipled. Until at one point, Perry actually criticised people for complaining about not being descipled. I thought it was from the pulpit, but my wife said it was his blog, but he actually used the story of Christ casting Legion out of the man and the man trying to follow him and Jesus wouldnt let him as showing that Christ didnt want everyone to be desciples. Therefor, Newspring will not try to make desciples.

It really has become a huge cult. Everyone follows Perry and loves Perry and loves their 'church.' They do not love the church... the body of Christ, they love their gathering and the show that is put on and the 'craziness' that Perry will do next. Perry can not take any criticism and doesnt know what to do when confronted with the gospel and what Newspring is lacking so he bashes it.

I say this not lightly and as a Christian and one that went there for, like I said, 2.5 years. That gathering is a cult and Perry is going to be held greatly responsible for his flock that he has completely misled. That is if he is even a Christian. I have no way of arguing that and it is not my place to judge ones standing on their relationship with Christ, but he is elevating himself and his church above Christ. I can tell you that for sure.

Re: respectfully


Sep 25, 2013, 6:15 PM

I can accept that much more easily than some others' opinions. However, that's just not something I've seen either from him or from when I went to the church, or from sermons of his I've listened to.

One reason I wouldn't really want to go to a "seeker- friendly" mega- church like New Spring anymore is just the reason you mentioned: they're almost too large to engage in much deep discipleship since they're focused on drawing in people who are less mature believers. I don't think that somehow makes them a cult, though, and I don't see where anything they're teaching would lead anybody to believe that. A lot of this just sounds like personal squabbling.
