Grammy-winning vocalist Kevin Max, a member of the popular Christian band DC Talk who has released music in multiple genres, revealed over the weekend that he considers himself to be an ‘exvangelical’ who follows the ‘universal christ’.

I have been a musician since the age of 9 years old, a songwriter and performing artist for many years in addition to working as an actor in Hollywood before getting saved in 1991. You would think that someone with my background in the performing arts would be a natural fit in the Contemporary Christian Music scene, but you would be wrong. From the moment I got saved, the songs that resonated with my born again spirit were the old hymns like ‘Blessed Assurance’, ‘Saved By The Blood’, and countless others that sing of Jesus Christ. Contemporary Christian Music sings not of Jesus Christ, but the ‘universal christ’ of the New Age.

“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.” Colossians 3:16 (KJB)

In 2021, as the spirit of Antichrist continues to rise over a lost and fallen world, the pretend christians of CCM are revealing their true colors. DC Talk is a band I never liked from the moment I saw the Eye of Horus on their album cover for ‘Jesus Freak’. No Jesus there, just freaks. Now DC Talk band member Kevin Max has come out as an ‘exvangelical’, and wants the world to meet the Universal Christ of the New Age. You might know this ‘universal christ’ by another name, Satan.

Now, lest you think I am being overly harsh in my assessment, please review the following:

If you are hooked up with with the Contemporary Christian Music scene, attend a Laodicean megachurch, or listen to anyone who sings about a ‘universal christ’, you need to run from that junk and repent of it immediately. If not, you just may wind up as an ‘exvangelical’ who is ‘deconstructing’ your faith Jesus Christ.

DC Talk’s Kevin Max says he’s an ‘exvangelical’: ‘Deconstructing’ and ‘progressing’

FROM THE CHRISTIAN POST: “Hello, my name is Kevin Max & I’m an #exvangelical,” he tweeted Saturday, sparking a large response from many of his Christian followers. Some praised the musician’s post claiming they were also exvangelicals, a term that has been used commonly in recent years to describe individuals who no longer identify as evangelicals. Others on social media stated they had never heard the term, which has been associated with progressive Christians who have left evangelical Christianity due to theological or political reasons in recent years.

In response to a social media user who said Max no longer believed in Jesus, the “Jesus Freak” singer quipped, “Nope, didn’t say that, read text carefully.” In another post, Max clarified that he still follows “the Universal Christ.”

“I have no idea how many peoples blogs or podcasts are using that announcement for further division, but I’m here for The Grace,” he assured. The musician added further detail on his Twitter thread.

“For all those people using my post as plug & play for your own hot take or personal discourse, I offer the lyrics to an upcoming song off of my new band @AstronautsSad album ‘Adult Fears’ titled: ‘It’s okay’…. I’m sorry for being obtuse or difficult but it’s a process… love.”

The lyrics to the song read:

“It’s ok to be estranged

From everything that you were taught

And it’s ok

To unpack all the hopeless baggage that you bought

I know the sun it never shines

In the same place twice

And I know that life is better

With a trusted vice

But you will change

When you cave

To the universal Christ….

(Whistle)

And it’s ok for you to lose

The shame from all the churches abuse

And it’s ok

For them to see

You don’t believe in man’s inerrancy

I know the sun it never shines

in the place you hide

I know you think its better

Shrouded in secrets and lies

But you’ll change

When you embrace

The glowing universal Christ….”

This year marked the first time since the Gallup organization started tracking data that fewer than 50% of Americans belong to a church or religious organization.

BreakPointreported that some of the people leaving the church are joining a growing demographic known as the “nones.” Religious “nones” consist of people who reject all religious affiliation, and some of these people are also known as exvangelicals. The overall movement is called “deconstruction,” meaning deconstructing one’s faith and leaving the church. Many who are “deconstructing” have spoken out about their experiences getting hurt by people inside the Church. Others have cited their rejection of biblical teaching on sexuality as the reason they are disassociating.

Max has made a living as a vocalist in bands that promote the Christian message, such as DC Talk alongside bandmates TobyMac and Michael Tait. He also sang for Audio Adrenaline. Max has been speaking out for some time about his resistance to a particular version of Christianity. In an interview in December with Decent Christian Talk podcast, Max explained where he is on his journey in deconstructing.

“I like to call it deconstruction, reconstruction,” he said. “Any person that’s really changing every day, which we do, you’re going to deconstruct or you’re going to reconstruct. So it’s a combination of both of those things,” he said. “I’ve been deconstructing for decades. I’ve always been progressing, as you can say, and then sometimes I regress. But I think where I’m at right now is I’ve really gone on a journey to find out what I truly believe in by reading a lot, thinking a lot, keeping my eyes and ears open.”

The musician has always been vocal about his thoughts online. While his comments online have been met with resistance, Max said he’s always been “a believer.”

“But I’m questioning a lot of things, and I’ve got more questions than answers,” he said. His beliefs are also reflected in his music. READ MORE

Las Vegas Police Capture Live UFO Sighting On Bodycam With Locals Claiming They Saw ‘8ft-High Aliens’ Walking About Freely Through Backyards

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Body-cam footage from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department captured a suspected UFO soaring across the night sky before a nearby resident called in a report of something “100% not human” on their property, local TV channel 8 News Now reported.

Fascinating story coming out of Las Vegas today, police on bodycams recorded UFOs soaring across the skies, and according to the audio they were quite shaken by what they saw. Not only that, local Las Vegas residents said they saw men, a minimum of 8ft high, walking through backyards. Do I believe all that? You bet I do. For over 2 years on our Podcasts, we’ve been warning you will soon see UFOs and aliens on the nightly news, and we are a kitten’s whisker away from that reality.

“Then I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a flying roll. And he said unto me, What seest thou? And I answered, I see a flying roll; the length thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof ten cubits.” Zechariah 5:1,2 (KJB)

As a Bible believer, I know there’s no such thing as space aliens but there absolutely are fallen angels and giants lurking around the deeps. Jesus promises in places like Luke 17:26-37 (KJB) that they’ll be putting in a ‘command performance’ during the time of Jacob’s trouble. Since all dispensations overlap each other, you can well expect a little ‘alien appetizer’ before the Pretribulation Rapture of the Church kicks off. Guaranteed.

Las Vegas police spot suspected UFOs — and residents claim to see aliens

FROM NY POST: A Vegas officer’s camera picked up the object at about 11:50 p.m. on April 30, and, according to the American Meteor Society, its flash was seen as far as Utah and California. Approximately 39 minutes after, another man — who lives about 80 miles from Area 51 — made a chilling call to 911, saying that there were two unknown entities in his backyard after he and his family saw a similar object fall from of the sky.

“There’s like an 8-foot person beside it and another one is inside us and it has big eyes and it’s looking at us — and it’s still there,” the homeowner told police dispatch, according to audio obtained by the TV channel.

“In my backyard. I swear to God this is not a joke, this is actually — we’re terrified,” he added.

“They’re very large. They’re like 8 foot, 9 feet, 10 foot. They look like aliens to us. Big eyes. They have big eyes. Like, I can’t explain it. And big mouth. They’re shiny eyes and they’re not human. They’re 100% not human,” he claimed.

Responding units were terrified of the circumstances, audio from their body cameras revealed.

“I’m so nervous right now,” said one officer. “I have butterflies, bro — saw a shooting star and now these people say there’s aliens in their backyard.”

After police spoke with the man, one officer even corroborated some of the witness’ story.

“I’m not going to BS, you guys. One of my partners said they saw something fall out of the sky, too,” the officer said. READ MORE

New York City Skyline Turned In Apocalyptic End Times Nightmare As Smoke From Wildfires In Canada Render It Nearly Uninhabitable

Smoke from hundreds of wildfires raging across Canada engulfed New York City and the eastern United States on Wednesday, upending the rhythms of daily life for tens of millions of Americans, creating a sea of ‘Code Red’ air quality alerts as far south as the Carolinas and prompting widespread health worries.

In a scene straight out of the book of Joel, or even Revelation, the ‘city that never sleeps’ has been engulfed with apocalyptic smoke, infused with an orange-red glow, that has drifted down from wildfires raging out of control in Canada. This is resulting in the worst air quality ever recorded in New York City, and at the moment, just may be the worst anywhere in the world. To you, this may look like an environmental disaster. To me it looks like a harbinger of more to come.

“And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.” Joel 2:30,31 (KJB)

Today is Day 1,179 of 15 Days To Flatten The Curve, and what’s happening in New York City right now is right on track with Phase 2 of the Great Reset. This reminds me of the decree signed by the Mayor of New York City about rolling out that ‘carbon footprint tracker’. Hmm, there’s an amazing ‘coincidence’ with the timing of this plague of smoke and smog. So, you need to ask yourself are these fires accidental, are they coincidental, or are they intentional? (my money’s on the last one). Whatever the actual answer is, one thing’s for sure, things are absolutely not ‘back to normal’ or anything remotely close to that.

Apocalyptic smoke from wildfires in Canada engulfs New York City and East Coast, upending daily life

FROM MSN: Nowhere was the scene more haunting than in New York City, where a thick haze blanketed the Statue of Liberty, shrouded the skyscrapers of Manhattan, delayed a baseball game at Yankee Stadium and forced a temporary halt of flights into LaGuardia Airport due to low visibility. Mayor Eric Adams recommended people wear masks outdoors and canceled outdoor city events.

For the second day in a row, New York City logged some of the worst air quality of any major city on the planet. But that was hardly the only place to experience the eerie, unsettling and throat-burning smoke that scientists say could become a more common occurrence in a warming world.

In Philadelphia, as elsewhere, schools canceled field trips, moved recess indoors and postponed athletic matches. In Washington, where monuments along the National Mall sat shrouded in the afternoon gloom, commuters donned masks that for the first time in years had nothing to do with a pandemic.

“It looks like Mars outside,” said Dennis Scannell, the co-owner of a typically bustling but now silent baseball and softball training facility in Syracuse. The city’s Air Quality Index — a measure of outdoor pollution — registered 402 late Wednesday morning. Healthy is considered below 50.

In Binghamton, N.Y., the National Weather Service office tweeted about the dimming sky just before 10 a.m. “Sun is no longer visible, everything’s orange, the parking lot lights have come on,” it read, alongside a photo of the otherworldly scene. READ MORE

Due to the wildfire smoke from Canada, New York City had the worst air pollution of any major city in the world at one point Tuesday night, before dropping to second-worst behind New Delhi, India, according to air quality tracker IQair.

The Santa Rosa Correctional Main Unit and Annex In Milton Florida Holds 2,500 Inmates And Their Chaplain Just Contacted Us Looking For Bibles

The Santa Rosa Correctional Institution and Annex houses 2,500 inmates and I would love for us to give every single one of them a King James Bible. 

The Santa Rosa Correctional Institution and Annex is located in Milton, Florida, and houses up to 2,500 inmates at any given time. Senior Chaplain Gary Wieborg wrote to us recently wondering if we could give them some Bibles. I would dearly love to give them enough King James Bibles for every inmate they have, wouldn’t you?

“O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the LORD.” Jeremiah 22:29 (KJB)

Sending out that many Bibles would be our largest single effort to date, and would cost around $12,000 to pull it off, but it is consistent with other large orders the Lord has allowed us to fill with our Bibles Behind Bars program. This type of revival we are experiencing is real revival, where born again believers get on fire for the Lord and things get done in spectacular fashion. I love sending in ‘the light’ of the King James Bible to subdue the darkness of the prison cell. Just picture you or a loved one sitting in that place, and what an incredible gift a Bible would be. That’s what we’re doing, giving a lifeline of hope in a hopeless place.

I’d like to ask you to pray for our efforts in getting King James Bibles to the Santa Rosa facilities, the work of the Lord is always bathed in much prayer. And if the Lord has prospered you, I’d like to ask you to consider donating so we can send these 2,500 Bibles. Be as generous as you can, because after we send this order out, there are multiple other requests waiting in the queue. Thank you so very much for your ongoing support, that’s the only way this gets done…TO THE FIGHT!!!
