The Phonics Preacher
A Great Sauce for Newts and Inflammation in Calvary Chapel.

My sister’s boyfriend’s neighbor’s uncle gave his nephew the scoop which he leaked to his neighbor who told his girlfriend.. who told her brother (that’s me) what’s really going down.  This “uncle” who live’s by my sis’s boyfriend was hired to drive Skip Heitzig around one Monday.  After being called in at the gate, he picked Skip up at 6:00 am from the luxurious mountain estate.  This “uncle” had never met Skip before this encounter, but recognized him from the many appearances on local tv.  The thing is, Skip did not look like Skip..  

The man who got in the back of the limo seemed elderly and all bent over.   His hair was grey and his voice was strained.   After several hours of driving, they found themselves approaching a fence in the middle of nowhere.  Skip told him to drive up the the fence, and flash the headlings 7 times..  The first three flashes were to be short flashes, and the last four were to be long flashes.   The uncle struggled with this, but eventually got it right after several tries.   Suddenly, the ground below them began to shake, and the car was being lowered down under ground.    Moments later, they were headed down a tunnel that seemed to be decending as they went.   This underground road went on for approximately 20 miles.  Strange: the odometer ceased to work as soon as they were under ground. 

After about 20 minutes of driving, the tunnel oppened up into a large cavern which was lined on both sides by yellow barrels.  There must have been a million of them.  They all said:  “space waste” on them.

Skip told the uncle to pull up to a small RV trailer that was parked on the far side of the cavern.   There were no other humans within sight.

Skip slowly walked to the entrance of the RV.  When he got close, the door opened, and a long slender arm with three very long fingers reached out and helped him climb the steps..  Moments later, the RV began to shake, and a bright light burst forth from the windows.   After the light faded..   the door opened again..  and Skip stepped out, unassisted.  In fact, it was the Skip that “uncle” knew from the tv.  He was tall, blonde, with shiny white teeth and exceptional grammer.  All the way back to ABQ, Skip used words that no common human understands.  He apologized for the lingo, but he said he had to purge his system of the excess of multi-syllable words before he had to speak publically. 

When “uncle” dropped Skip off, a guy in a black suit told “uncle” to look at a small device that flashed a light.   This was s’posed to erase “uncles’s” memory..  but it didn’t work.  You see, “uncle” was in Vietnam and fried his brain on Agent Orange.  Because of this, the memory erase light thing a ma-jobby didn’t work.

Skip stepped out of the limo and waved to “:uncle” and said, “Yo holmes.. smell ya later.”

I s’pose that this all has something to do with the fact that Skip is a chaplain for the FBI.

Ever heard the term, Dark Ops? I tell you, by posting this information, I am practically fearing for my life. Four years ago, out of nowhere, suddenly, Chuck Smith had a brother named Paul. What they failed to tell you, is that Paul is a clone. To make sure that undue attention was not drawn to this situation, the clone of Chuck was genetically designed to look different, yet close enough to be family. As Paul was deveopped in a secret lab 23 stories beneath CCCM, scientists loyal to the CC regine implanted mental and genetic files originating from the following individuals: Winston Churchill, Smith Wigglesworth, Hulk Hogan, Jimmy Carter and Ross Perot.

Paul Smith is indeed a super-human, but who else could manage and operate the broad mission of CCOF unless they were of such a high calibur.

CCOF basically is running the show in every CC out there. The pastors are just puppets. They don’t even know they are being controlled by an evil mastermind with a joy-stick 23 storeis beneath CCCM. Some have magaged to break themselves away from the mind control. Mike Kestler comes to mind. Of course, by breaking himself instantly from dependency, he went berzerk. Some have more wisely broken themselves from the control over time, thus weaning themselves from the addictive control. These folks are forced to continue life in hiding, for every day, their lives continue to be in danger.

Watch your back!

A New England based ministry called “9Mauks Ministries” has put out the “9 Mauks” of a healthy church. I’ve posted some of them here to encourage our confused readers.
1.  Expose-itional Preaching.
This is a preaching that “exposes” sin.  The truly spiritual pastor will be investigating the lives of his parishoners for the sins that remain hidden here.  Then, on Sunday morning, he is to use the Bible to point out, or “expose” the sins of the people.

2.  Biblical Theory
Overlooking the herasy of inductive reasoning which has plagued the church, we focus now on the deductive.  A true church will utilize theory and opinion as a basis to draw meaning from the scriptures.  For instance: in the example of church government structure, many have a theory that such a thing exists in the Bible, and they take this theory, and try real hard to practice the divine art of “isogesis” to support it.  This is INDEED the way we need to be doing things…  and this is why we think the “elder run” church is the right way.

3.  Biblical Understanding of Good Shoes.
Many of you know the old spiritual tune: “I got shoes, you got shoes, all God’s children got shoes.  When we get to heaven gonna put on those shoes.  Gonna walk all over God’s heaven…..   “  To properly symbolize our views on this issue, we should all sing this chorus at the end of the service to signifiy the end of our time together.   Some might sing  “The Lord Bless Thee…  “   or “Praise the Name of Jesus”..  but such choruses reveal a poor Biblical Understanding.

4.  Biblical Underestimation of Coversion.
Everybody knows that the Bible is really calling us to “underestimate”.  Sure, the scriptures might give pretty clear qualifications on the conversion experience..  but we aren’t intended to adhere to these strict standards.   No way.  Even the pope gets this one.  He said that Jesus would be a failure if He only saved those who knowingly received Him.   If we are to be truly compassionate, we will underestimate conversion.

5.  Biblical Understanding of Evangelism
Traditionally, the church has used the word “evangelism” in reference to the “spreading of the gospel”.  Biblical understanding leads us to apply this word to the “spreading” and not so much to the content of what is being spread.  A farmer evangelizes his field with his manure spreader.  See the logic?  There are many things to spread in this life, and if we do it honor biblical principle..  whether it be a virus or chain-letter, we are doing it right.

6.  Biblical Understanding of Membership 
Of course, the concept of membership is intended to be a system of organized role-call and accountability.  Pledges should be made, W2’s submitted, attendence taken and duties distributed.  This is what makes a true church a true church.  The old concept of Christians being born into the church is absurb, because it puts the commitment of membership in the hands of the individual, rather than the overseeing hand of the elders.

7.  Biblical Church Disciplin
Some say that the focus of church discipline should be on compassionate restoration.  Instead of obsessing and focusing solely on the system of Matt 18, these compassionate advocates are out to win the sinner back with love.   This is absurd.  In the O.T. the ground opened up and swallowed those who were in need of discipline.  We should go to people by ourselves, confront them.. then, go with another..  confront them..  and then, drag the sinner before the people and have them banished.  All three of these steps should occur within a 5 minute time period.  If the Lord doesn’t open the ground up under them, then we shall pray for fire from heaven.

8.  Promotion of Christian Discipleship and Growth.
All’s we got to do, is read The Purpose Driven Church and everything will be fine.

9.  Biblical Understanding of Leadership
One of the greatest leaders in the Bible was David.  He killed Goliath with a stone.   Let’s get everyone together in the church, have them all throw rocks, and declare the last man/woman standing as the leader.  I know the process seems harsh, but the fruit is something we all can recognize.  The best stone-thrower.. is the best person for leadership.

The hopes of the world were hinging on an un-substantiated notice that Skip Heitzig would in fact be resigning as the board chair at CCABQ. The 6 horsement of the Albequercolips were ready to ride in victorious as soon as the announcement was made official. Unfortunately, the anticipated events didn’t come to pass. Skip still remains in control of the Calvary Connection empire which includes: CCABQ, the radio station, OHChurch, Jesse James (still chained up in Skip’s garage), The Truffle Pig Breeding Farm and of course, dailyfoot rubs from Chip Lusko, (in exchange for a 6 figure income).

When Skip was questioned on his U-Turn hypocritical decision, he responded by simply asking.. “What exactly does the word “is” mean?” This response dumb-founded his accusers and enabled him to reclaim his kingdom under the diversion of his presidential response.

Inside sources tell me that Chuck Smith HAS NOT been silent on this. There have been secret meeting between: Skip, Chuck, Leaping Lanny, McClure, Kestler, F.Castro and Martha Stewart. A representative of the late great Colonel Sanders was also seen entering the meeting with a folder marked “SPECIAL RECIPE“. Obviously, there is a plot for world domination in the works. From now on, I would encourage everyone to avoid fried foods, purify your own water, and eat lots of SPAM.

Sources close to a guy who served B. Broderson a double bacon cheeseburger at Carl Jr’s just south of Murrieta tell us that things are really heating up. Broderson was overheard saying, (into his cell phone), “Can’t Chuck stir his own tea just this one time?

We’ll have more info available as it comes available. I’m still awaiting revelation. In the words of the great Dr. Edward Daniel Taylor… “every time I have the chili onion supreme from Wally’s Wiener World I am visited in this manner…” – Folks… I’m off to Wally’s Wiener World….

It’s important to hear the stories of those who are sticking it out, in spite of the obvious.  If you are one of the people who are so blind and ignorant, that you continue to walk into the pig-stigh of CC every week, then we want to hear from you.  We can’t believe how or why you would do such a horrible thing, but all the same, we are interested in hearing about your pathetic story so that we can pick you apart with our high-intellect and truthful criticisms.

I’ve created a new category for the ongoing needs of people to tell their stories.  Of course, if you left CC, we already know that it had something to do with: the mafia, bigfoot, Area 51, Fidel Castro or the lack of real wine at communion.  If you want to post about one of these reasons, this is your place.  If you have another reason for leaving Calvary Chapel, (other than those listed above), it’s likely that you are unjust and should probably go back and retro-tithe.

When the chair of a board speculates a partial resignation that causes
everyone to tingle.. I see no other option, but to display myself in
duplicity. Therefore, from this day forward, Phonics Preacher will be
found at both of the following links:
www.phonicspreacher.blogspot.com
www.phonicspreacher.wordpress.com

The stress of all of this is weighing heavily upon me and I see no other option but blog schitzofrenically

There are folks out there trying to convince the folks under the Skip Heitzig regime to place only “a nickle” in the offering boxes. Nickle Sunday? How about NICKLE PAY-DAY! – Yep, you heard me right.. I declare a presidence upon all those who prepare payroll checks for Skip Heitzig. I speak five cent incraments into the next pay-day of those who rule so corruptively over the poor sheep at CC ABQ…

Yes, I believe it’s even going to happen.. Skip’s going to rip open that evelope.. and .. WHAT? 5 cents? This monthly check is about $149,999.95 short!

In the past two weeks, we’ve had at-least 6 unique hits with a total of 18 over-all visits. The church fathers never had hits like this, therefore, I’m concerned that we might be on a bad path. However, I’m going to risk our differences to the church fathers.. by pressing on.Because the traffic here is so massive, we’re re-thinking the design and format of Phonics Preacher. We’re hoping to have files in the left column with names of Pastors who deserve our intensive: rebukes, investigations and speculative accusations. In the future, you might be able to click on your favorite church, or pastor’s name and see all the posts we have in regards to that particular person/ministry.

For instance, if you want to see what we had to write about Skip Heitzig, you’ll just click on “truffle harley”.. if you want to read our reports on Mike Kestler, just click on “again saints.. uhm.. uh.. again.. uh comb-over”..

See how easy it will be. Our large staff of smarty-pants menza types here are burning the midnight oil on this project.. (in fact, they’ve stopped burning the oil because of the fine we received from the EPA.. so, we’re now burning black candles at midnight instead)…

yep.. you heard it right.. CALVARY CHAPELS ARE EMERGING SEEKER FRIENDLY and even.. PURPOSE DRIVEN!I know.. they are the first ones in line to dis anything of a “seeker friendly” nature to it. They denounce the “emerging” church vocally. They prefer to drive rather than be driven.

Can you believe the hypocricy?
Distinctively, CC’s stand out as being unique because they teach through the Bible.. verse by verse.. chapter by chapter.. book by book.. Chuck tape by Chuck tape. But, hidden within this distinctive, is a subtle marketing ploy that most are totally blind to. Some CC’s veer away from the model, but most are applying this subtle marketing plan of purpose driven, seeker friendly methods..

Yes, they’re still teaching.. verse by verse.. chapter by chapter.. But it’s how they teach it that speaks volumes. On Sunday mornings.. most Calvary Chapels will be teaching the New Testament. On Wednesday nights.. they will teach the Old Testament. CAN YOU SEE IT NOW???

What do the people want to hear? Surely it’s not the downer news that we find int he OT.. the law.. the “did evil in sight of the Lord”.. the “fatty lobes”.. the mean prophets and all. No, the masses want to hear the lovey dovey stuff that eminates from the NT writings. The seekers in our society are turned away from Jesus w/talk about fatty lobes. For this reason, most CC pastors are catering to an emerging generation by pushing the issues of grace and mercy, rather than the issues of: Eglons’ blubber, the 200 Philistine foreskins and the killing of women and children.

Everybody knows.. that the milk-toast spiritual types of the emerging generation won’t go to church more than 2 times a month.. and never on Wednesday. For this reason, CC’s can get away with an OT teaching on Wednesday nights to validate their teaching distinctive.

I know it’s not as out-ward in it’s display as the Willow Creek folks are pushing. But, the underlying tones of deception make it more difficult for us discerning folks to swallow.

We are here to call Calvary Chapel to accountability. How long will they go on catering to this milk-toast generation of emerging seekers? How long will they dupe the ignorant masses? How long will they power-shepherd the blind.. squeezing the life-blood out of their brainwashed followers?
