Does EX Ministries go too far?

June 11, 2005
By

Elder Craige Lewis is the founder of ExMinistries and he is going on a nation wide campaign to proclaim the “truth behind hip hop” as he sees it. In his opinion, Hip Hop is a tool of the devil to destroy this generation. On his website, he makes a list of artists who he feels are tools of the enemy to deceive the church and destroy this generation. Visitors won’t be surprised to see artist like 50 cent, Ghostface Killah and others listed, but visitors may be surprised to see artists like Tonex, Kierra Sheard, India Arie, Jill Scott, and Hezekiah Walker on the list too! By the end of his workshops, young (and not so young) people are so convicted by his message that they give him their “worldly” CD’s and he destroys them. As you’ll see on the website the ministry boasts 500,000 CD’s destroyed.

Elder Craige Lewis has certainly taken a hard stand against the artist in the music industry, but what do you think?

    This has been a very long debate and discussion that has seemed to go in circles. First of all Saints of the Most High, you hopefully a worshipper and servant of the one true and Living God. I believe that Rev. Dr. Craig began his ministry with a Godly Zeal. Some of his information seemed to be a little tainted by a personal vendetta. However, his ministry is based on a strong Biblical principle. THOU Shall hane NO Other gods before Me.(Period)
    Are some of his facts off? Yes Like Jay-Z did not personally have anything to do with Dangermouse’s mix of the intro to the Grey album that has “666 murda murda Jesus” played backwards. That was something that was put out independently by Dangermouse and EMI issued a cease and desist order to him because of copyright infringement issues with the Beatles White Album. There are a couple of other minor misrepresentations the Good Rev. stated. However, my main concern is that at some point there must be a shift in focus from what Hip Hop is doing wrong to what can we do as people Of God to uplift the Kingdom. Eld. Craig needs our prayer and support so that as he continues in ministry the will of God will be accomplished in his life and ministry. It is so eassy to point out the flaws but to pull beside a brother in Christ and say “here I am to help” is more beneficial to the kingdom

    God Bless

    btw I’ve worked in the music industry for the last nine years.

      I thought the church should be dealing with the issue of sin after all that is why Jesus hung on the cross.That is what Pastor Craig seems to be dealing with, weather its dealing with sin in music,sin in homosexuality,sin in the church,so many people even so called Christians don’t want to deal with the real issue!!!!

      • lorne

        Amen!! Sin indeed! Watchmen, What of the night??? Ezekiel 3:17-19; Ezekiel 33:6; Ephesians 5:11; Hosea 4:6; John 8:32; 2Corinthians 11:4

        OUR PEOPLE PERISH FOR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE.. ex ministries has informed us of thing we couldn’t no unless we were involved!!! No matter who it is, when u are told some thing you pray on it. And let god expose false profits. But u can’t do that if you dont have relationship with the father. The bible says seek yee first the kingdom of god. If u let god order your steps by asking him, his word will not come back void. and if any thing bout this ministry don’t glorify him he will reviled it. People don’t want to believe because it cause for change and the change that we need we r not prepared to do. I wish there was some way I could join the ministry. I’ve been an inspiring artist for 9 years but god called me to go thru some things inorder to help save his kingdom. Im on the same journey and I support his cause 100%. He ain’t perfect so don’t let his mistake turn u away because he human. God will judge us all!!!! But he was chosen to do what he doing. And right now n Jesus name I pray our people receive it and repent get saved and SEEK THE KINGDOM OF GOD 1ST!!

      I have neither seen a testimony or a mission statement for this mans church. I went to his site and there was no mention of Jesus. Only something about “The Mother of Gods”, and shrieking about the anti-Christ. For the sake of Jesus Christ I will say what he has never said. Because of the sacrifice of Jesus, all that he is saying is null and void. Gods word is true…this is what the scripture says, Keep the faith Lovely Ones!

      John 3:16~ Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except one be born anew, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

      Rom, 10:9~ because if thou shalt confess with thy mouth Jesus [as] Lord, and shalt believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved:

      • http://none catherinemgross

        John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have eternal life.

        (sorry this is what that scripture should read…it is important!)

      • RAQUEL

        Y must people go looking for flaws SMH.. I pray god speak to your heart cause every soul u turn away u will b held accountable for. Jesus died for our sins so we can be forgiven. That didn’t mean keep sinning. That mean when god send u a profit to tell u truth repent and do it no more. BUT IF U FALL SHORT OF HIS GLORY U MAY COME TO HIM AND ASK HIM TO FORGIVE U. JUS NO WE ALL WILL B JUDGED FOR EVERY ACTION!!! PEOPLE SHOULD STOP TRYING TO CONDEMN HIM AND JUST PRAY!!!!!!

    • RAQUEL

      I think people are called to what god intended for your life and exposing truth may jus b his calling. the bottom line is hip hop is not saving souls so if calling them out alert our people so they can wake up and change I’m all for it. these artist that we r referring to r to far gone to say hay brother this is wrong let me help. so that’s a waist of time and the signs r her we don’t have time. I commend him for taking a step out on faith and risking so much to expose truth. nothing about hip hop glorify god and he may b wrong for passing judgment but god will deal with him if he isn’t pleased. bottom line!!!!!

  • <![CDATA[Common Sense Crusader]]>

    I don’t mean any harm but if you can reference that particular song and let myself and others play it back then I’ll be the 1st to say this is satanic to say the least. I must say though, it sounded like that segment was spliced together for horrific effect. If we are going to be real then let’s do it. What is the song that was played, plain and simple. Or is this just another trick of the enemy to get your dollars in the long run? I just want clarity.

  • <![CDATA[Genesis]]>

    I think I understand your question. And I don’t know the song for myself. But with a lil research I am sure you can find it. But don’t forget it does not even have to be the backwards message to make the point. Even the stuff going forward is satanic. There is a lot on you tube. That might be an easy way to find the name of the song you are looking for.

    Craig Lewis is an extremist, and he judges people – which is anti christian. I think as a person who has a relationship with god, we know what is of him and not of him. Also, why is music scrutinized so much??? Why not criticize other industries like how the health care industry is killing people by lack of care, or pharmaceutical companies giving people diseases from long term drug use, I mean its music!!! We already know what is good for us and not, and it is not our job to judge these musicians, its Gods. Craig doesn’t know if Jay Z or Tonex is going to heaven or not, he is unrealistic and I question what his motives are. And I bet hes making a lot of money off of his DVD’s. Get real..

    • blessed7

      Seriously …… seriously…… u r blind .. on a mad level .. Jay says he is god… but he going to heaven because no one knows his heart …. jay says JESUS cant save u… but he is goiong to heaven according to u .. r u even Christian

    • RAQUEL

      BECAREFUL WHAT U SAY ABOUT THE ANOINTED!!!!!! J HOVA NIKKI KRS 1 AND OTHERS OPENLY AKNOWLEDG THEM SELF AS GOD. I DON’T JUDGE THEM CUZ THEY R VICTIMS BUT THEY R OPPOSITE OF WHAT GOD TOLD US WE GOT TO DO TO ENTER IN HIS KINGDOM SO I THINK IT’S SAFE TO ASSUME THESE THINGS R TRUE. BUT AS A CHRISTIAN WE DON’T HAVE TO ASSUME ALL WE GOTTA DO IS PRAY!!!!!! AND GOD WILL GIVE U A TRUE REVELATION!!!!! THANK U FATHER FOR WISDOM AND A SERVANT THAT’S NOT AFRAID TO DO WHAT U CALLED US ALL TO DO. SAVE SOULS THROUGH YOUR WORD AND TRUTH. FORGIVE US ALL FOR KNOW NOT WHAT WE DO.. AND LAST, THANK U FOR YOUR SON JESUS, AND THROUGH HIM WE ALL ARE FORGIVEN AND BORN AGAIN.

      You are blind….sorry.

    As a Christian, you simply need to test Craige against the Word of God. I think he is right on point and his ministry is a blessing. God has given him a tremndous calling and he is fulfilling it by leading the yound and old people to Christ.

    Money has nothing to do with it. In fact, you can find most of his stuff on the internet for free.

    “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6

    Preach on Pastor Craige!

  • http://www.nuvisionforanuday.blogspot.com Angie B

    I cannot believe that folks are still commenting on this thread after all this time. Heber, do you remember when I was one of the ones that kept this discussion going? Boy, oh how I’ve moved on. **smile** But I guess Craige is still the topic of some folks conversation. And I would suppose that his subject matter will always be a hot button issue for someone. Oh well…

  • Rev. Bon

    I’ve watched some of Lewis’ sermons on the subject and I must admit that he is pretty accurate on some of things he mentions. I agree with him that any time the devil wants to push an agenda or an ideology he usually does so through music. And one the first places in a ministry that the devil attacks is the music department (and I know that’s the truth). That’s because Lucifer’s specialty is music. Even though he was kicked out of Heaven he never forgot his skill, and he deeply understands the power of music. But accuracy does not justify being judgmental. His sermons carry with them a VERY judgmental overtone. Not only is he criticizing every mainstream gospel artist out there, but he is also criticizing every mega-church pastor that exists; T.D. Jakes, Eddie Long, Creflo Dollar, etc. At one point he was actually joking Eddie Long in the middle of his sermon. Lewis was supposed to be enlightening the people of God, and instead he’s joking on how Bishop Long seems to be flexing his muscles every time he gets to the high point of his sermons. And Lewis was actually mocking how Bishop Long preaches. Is that of God? According to Lewis we’re not suppose to be listening to ANYTHING except maybe “The Old-Rugged Cross” all day long. But I’m sure he would find fault somewhere with that song also since the song writer was actually human, and ALL humans fall short of God’s standard at times.

    After watching his tapes it really seemed to me that he had an underlying agenda. Why would you try to defraud and deface EVERY successful leader in the Kingdom of God expect if you were trying to elevate yourself. I understand that there are many so-called leaders out there that have a self-serving, self-elevating agenda, and I believe that God will deal and is dealing with those people that are trying to exploit the people of God. We do not have the authority to judge them, but we do have the CHOICE not to support to them. But is EVERY pastor, preacher, and church leader out of the will of God except for Lewis? At certain points of his sermon he actually sounded like skepitical unbeliever. Yes his facts are right about certain things, but where is the love? Is he teaching that? Where is the compassion? Is he teaching that? Where is the acceptance? Is ALL music of the devil? Well if I were not strong in the faith I would believe so after listening to his message. After listening to his message the only person I would listen to is him, because everyone else is being used by the enemy. And that to me sounds like an underlying agenda.

    • Catherha

      The bible says gain is not godliness. Jus cuz creflo n the rest are sucessful doesnt mean God is in it. The bible says the church is to judge the church & God will judge the world. Paul called peter out in person in front of those others he was changing around.

  • truemember

    Whenever in the history of mankind , someone gets up with a message that does not sound like what everyone else is saying they have to expect this sort of reaction form the so-called “main-streamers” We have been so trained to be politically correct that we have lost our voice . The late and respected Rev.Martin Luther King Jr came with a message of difference at the time when a lot of people had started to believe the messages being perpetrated to them . We had actually began to think of ourselves as second class citizens and yet his messages were both profound and mind – changing . They challenged the things that we held dear to us , and asked us to chose between conformity or change . For the masses who stood up for change I salute you this day . When you stand for change , there is expected criticism coming your way . Minister Lewis you are on the right track . Stay there and don’t be intimidated by the enemies of the truth . When God is for you , who dares to be against you . A thousand shall fall at your side and ten thousand at your right hand and none will be able to come near to you . Anything that is pure is not so easy to be swallowed , the world generally prefers diluted truths , lies and innuendos . I heard the message of Minister Lewis way over on the island of Trinidad and Tobago in the West Indies and I must say that it made me sit up and take notice . Let him that has an ear hear what is being said by the Spirit

    man man man this sho is good lol, hey everyone i love it, i love it the lord that is! first of all i want to start off by saying what part of sin dont people understand? sin is sin! it dont matter if craig lewis is callin folks names out sin is sin! and for those out there thats mad at what this brotha is preaching its because im almost 100% you aint fully surrendered to god you still got some junk and mess in your life cause the bible clearly says come out from among them and be yee seperated…..oh yall must have skipped that verse…but the beauty of all this is that God is so merciful every day he wakes us up that gives us another opporitunity to get it right with him ….and if you are reading this and you still got like the church folks use to say ,you still got the devil in you hey dont be mad at craig lewis just get on your knees and repent thats all you gotta do …..god bless

      JUS WANNA SAY I LOVE THIS!!!!!! AMEN TO THAT!!!!!!!@

  • ian

    for sure people should stop trying to find excuses and actually put more of their analytic minds into research. have you checked the universal zulu kingdom website and read their ‘prophecies’? the truth is there for those who seek it. let the Holy Spirit guide you in whatever you do and i believe all the answers will be shown to us. matters of the spirit realm are not easily understood by the human mind and so to really know the truth about this whole issue you just need to go down on your knees and pray about it. i personally believe craig lewis and i do not think he is going too far. he needs to bare all for all to see. i am tired of preachers who try to rationalise and watch their words coz they are afraid that some ‘big” people will be affected. the truth shall set you free. GOD BLESS

    Greetings,
    I am a 26 year old female, who has seen the last DVD made in the Series The Truth Behind Hip Hop for the first time on 11-28-10. I didn't have an issue receiving the message, because I believe God will seperate HIS people from the World. I have stopped listening to Rap music a total of 4 years before receiving this message from Mr. Lewis. I didnt really understand the desire I had to let it go, seeing is to how all of my friends were still listening to it. I (personally) want to thank Mr. Lewis for the messages he is sharing with the world. It time that people eyes are opened to what is going on behind the sences.

  • Anna Renee

    Wow!!! I followed this link out with this guy and his hatred of Rap, and ended up on a page talking about Jay Z and his selling of his soul to the devil!!! The whole thing about that illuminati demonic high societies trying to rule the world and all the symbolism behind it.
    One link which led me to a site call The Vigilant Citizen.com explains it all so cogently. One has to ask, Is Jay Z REALLY sold out to satan in exchange for riches? We know this happens to people. Somebody has to be the ones who go over to the dark side. It appears that it's Jay Z, Rihanna, Beyonce and Kanye from what's presented at this website. All for untold worldly riches, the kind that robbers break in and steal, the kind that rot and don't compare to God's heavenly treasures.

  • Nicole Williams

    why would anyone listen to these artists. During award shows, they “acknowledge God”, but turn right around and call women all out their names. First of all, if you disrespect women, you are not a TRUE man. I love to listen to gospel music, but at the same time, I will listen to a nice love ballad. But when it get’s in my spirit to the point of me denying MY FATHER, I turn it off IMMEDIATLEY. My favorite artists are Kirk Franklin, Yolanda Adams, MaryMary, Tye Tribbett, Israel & New Breed, Ricky Dillard, Martha Munizzi & VaShawn Mitchell. Worship music is the best way to go

  • William Okola

    Dear brother Craige it is surprising that you call your ministry “x ministry”. I have not meet the ministry with the same name like this. Please can you allow us to learn more about you and the ministry. My name is William and am the Elder in our church and leading a church in Kenya with a heart of learning more about God. Thank you and am looking forward to hear from you please the soonest possible.
    Love William.

    I went to one of Craige Lewis’s speaking engagement in Arlington, Texas, and being one that really loves God and really does thirst for the very heart of God. I do a lot of studying, and research when it comes to the very Word of God. I found what Mr. Lewis was saying to be very true about demons and devils and some other things, and there were other things he exagerrates, and people that still have not matured from the dramatic stage in their walk with Christ, he will appeal to you, you will seek to follow him. Yes God does tell us about demonic forces, and it is a spiritual battle, a battle that has been won on that hill when Christ died and rose again. So why do we have to worry what a certain rapper is doing, because in the end he has to bowdown. A Christian isn’t over critical of people, and then to profit from your being so critical of people. I do remember Jesus saying love your enemy and d good to those that hate you, in no way am I saying turn away from wrong, but your first thing as a TRUE CHRISTIAN is to pray that Jesus changes that individual, not exploit their wrongdoings for profitable gain. Go to that person and tell them of their wrong, but remember the log in the eye rule, cause last time I heard we all have sinned and fell short. I can go on for days, and days about fault but I just hope and pray that this brother adheres to the whole Bible and not just pick and choose spots because he knows that people gravitate to drama..

    • m1

      dont worry about pastor lewis being overly critical. and dont worry about what money he makes. if he is speaking THE TRUTH and exposing FAKE PASTORS, (one who just recently put out MILLIONS OF DOLLARS in cash to settle the drama created by his homosexual lust for boys) then there is nothing wrong with that. the prolblem with christians is that even when we speak the truth, somebody always crying that we are being judgemental, becuase they dont like the way we say things. CUT THE CRAP if these jack-legged pastors dont want lewis, and other REAL CHRISTIANS to call them out, then they need to either fly right, or step down from leadership! not saying that pastor lewis is sinless, for NOBODY is. but unlike some of these other clowns, he is not victimizing the young males in his congregation.

      PEOPLE THINK CONDEMNING HIM JUSTIFY THERE ACTIONS BUT IT DON’T. IF THIS IS THE DEVILS SKEEM TO ATTACK THE BODY OF CHRIST THEN GOD WILL PUT PEOPLE IN PLACE TO REVILED IT. HE AND OTHERS HAVE PRAYER EVERY DAY AT 5AM. AND U DON’T NO WHAT ELSE HE DO IN HIS PRIVATE TIME. TRUTH HURTS BUT ETERNAL LIFE IN HELP IS MUCH MORE PAINFUL!!!!!! HE DIDN’T SAY HATE THEM KILL THEM OR STEAL FROM THEM. HE SIMPLY EXPOSED THE SO WE DON’T CONTINUE TO B BRAIN WASHED. HIS APPROACH IS FIRM AND HE GOTTA BE. PEOPLE WILL NOT RECEIVE HIM JUST LIKE JESUS BUT I PRAY HE KEEP DOING WHAT GOD CALLED HIM TO DO. AND IF HIS APPROACH IS WRONG GOD STEP IN. AMEN!!!!

    How Are You All Doing At Ex Ministries? The Lord God Jesus Christ Has Blessed Me With Some Vert Needed Information Pertaining To Eslam. He Let Me Know That The Quran Was Introduced In 644 A.D.,And The One That Is Called The The Prophet Muhammed Was Born Around 570 A.D. And Died In 632 A.D.,So The Question Is How,And Who Gave Him The Quran? It Was Not The Lord Jesus Christ’s Angel Gabriel Or Any Other Angel At All. The Lord Jesus Christ Blessed Me To Find Out That The Quran Was Produced In Greece. If Who Is Called Alexander The Great Did Not Lay The Foundation By Exploring Different Places Involving Different Cultures The Quran Would’nt Even Exist,Also Too Aswell The Dome Of The Rock Happen To Be The Remains Of Solomoms’s Temple. Nero The Roman Emperor Persecuted Christians From 54 A.D. To 58 A.D.. The Construction Of The Building Of What Used To Be Solomon’s Temple Started In 68A.D.,69 A.D.,And Was Completed In 70 A.D. The Quran Is A Book Based On Greek ThoughtBut Was Written In The Arabic Toungue=Language. The Name Esa Is Not Jesus’s Name In The Arabic Language,Because Yassu El Mashik=Masheek=Meaning Jesus The Messiah=Christ!!!

  • hunter

    firstly minister craig if and any shortcomings it will be dealt with by the Father. he is doing a good job bringing souls to the kingdom and before they are quick to ‘JUDGE ‘ him they need to examin themselves and see what they are contributing to the body of christ..and one of the writer mention tonex as been mentioned in minister’s Craig topics we arnt judging the brother and will continue to pray for his soul but aint he a Sodomite and that wasnt made up,, all im saying if you blatantly out there and mixing the sacred with the profain someone needs to be diserning in the spirit. god bless you all and your reply is welcome

    • RAQUEL

      AMEN

  • Janet

    I go to ex ministries quite often. I do not think he goes too far when it comes to exposing artists. I think the truth should be exposed by someone who has discernment. He says he is doing this to expose things in love. I like what he is doing, but sometimes I question is motive. Is he really doing this in love or is he trying to point out people’s faults? There are some people that he talks about that I believe really have the anointing on their lives. I think he should keep doing what he does. I think he should just be careful who he talks about. The Bible says “Touch not my anointed and do my prophet no harm.”

  • Peter

    I for one did not know this so ex ministries doing a good thing
    Im shocked people are up in arms overthis. And even the “so called christians” are against it????? wow whats all that about????
    May be you guys are secret demons???? Itsa shame cos i do like a lotta dat muzic

    Peace

  • jennifer

    Personally I am grateful to the brother I believe that if someone or something is trying to destroy ,distort and mislead young people within the body of Christ ,call it out so people can make a conscious choice of what they are exposing themselves and their immortal souls to as Christians sometimes we
    can get so politcally correct in our attempt not to offend anyone we forget that biblically we are suppose to call out unGodly behavior ,in the body of Christ, not to judge them but to ensure that it will not corrupt others.

    • RAQUEL

      AMEN!!!!!

  • Vendella Watkins

    I thing it was an inspiration to expose the truth behind the scenes. Of course if everyone would be serious and do the research they would find his findings are accurate. The sad part of this ordeal is not to many christians will back him. We are running after the world hard and heavy. God is showing us, but we seem to no want to listen.

    And another thing, if I may, Lewis seems to push his DVDs—a lot. I remember Joyce Meyers used to do that alot. She still may, for I have given up on her money hungry

    • RAQUEL

      GOD CALLED HIS PEOPLE TO HAVE THE DISRESPECT OF THERE HEARTS. IF HE BECOMES WEALTHY TEACHING GODS WORD THAT DON’T MEAN HE HAS A MOTIVE. Y HE CAN’T JUST B BLESSED FOR HIS OBEDIENCE. THE BODY OF CHRIST NEED TO STAND UP!!!!!!! NO WE CAN’T DO THAT CAUSE IT CONVICTS US AS LISTENERS!!!!!

  • http://Exministries Teetee

    I know as I know my name that pastor Lewis is on the right way.What I’ve discovered is many Xtians who claim t know God don’t know God and even too sentimental.Pas. Lewis is a prophet and like most prophets in d Bible, he is declaring d mind of God for the Church. All this ‘he’s too judgemental’ is nonsense coz Jesus wasn’t all sentiments in d name of love.When he was supposed to rebuke,he did.And dat’s what this man of God is doing.Continue d good work pastor.

    G Craige is on point and many people need to take notes and notice people I know dont feel we should speak againt homosexuality,we should not judge,the gays have taken over I’m tired of seeing them hugged up kissing in front of my grandchildren,who asking questions,they march by hundreds of thousands for marriage and rights yet christians sit by as nothing is happening,marriage was made for man and woman by God.Man has tendacy to idolize people and are easily influenced,our young people are being decieved and Im glad a preacher like Pastor Craige arent cowarding down to society and speaking from the word of God and doesnt care if he’s popular by saying the truth preach on preacher the truth will set many free in Jesus name.

  • dmarie

    The bible says to study to show yourselves approved unto God and many people dont do that. Take the time to research information to see if its true. G Craig is pretty on point with his research. There is a difference between judging those that are in the world and telling the truth to those that are suppose to be saved. When people have perfected sin, they hate to hear the truth and thats why they are so defensive.Pray and ask God to remove the blinders off your eyes, our children are dying and everything that comes out of our mouth, we have to take an account for.And that includes repeating the demonic words from some artists that was mentioned. Its not edifying our Lord and Savior.

    go a head man, as long as you’re speak only the truth! and we know that the Truth is alive in the Scripture! the thing is that the guys from church that just want to compromise, will keep on saying things like ‘all men have fallen short’ ‘you’re too hard on people’ etc! no, no, no, no, we need you to keep strong sir!! i don’t know how it happened,but your work turns up in some video libraries in my country, Uganda. I happened to buy a DVD! there probably some intellectual property issues involved but my country has almost NO COPYRIGHT LAWS! so we shared your DVD,and many take you seriously! so keep up the good work! as long as we rebuke and encourage to change in TRUTH and in LOVE, we glorify God! we’re not alive in vain! the Truth is we are all coming to the end of this race, and we shall all account to God,for not choosing His Will despite the sacrifice of Jesus!

    Craig says may be too strong for the human kind but the truth is such that it is brutal to the one who does not want to accept it but a humbling experience to the ones who accept it,the truth about hip hop may be brutal but the facts speak out,we should not digress from the issue by claiming that Elder Craig is playing the judge,i think what he points out is pretty obvious in our”popular culture”, was he supposed to pint out this vices without giving examples,and whether or he is being judgemental is all up to him and God.

    We perish 4 a lack of knowledge. He is giving it. Those that dont want 2 recieve will perish. Jesus said proplehonor him with lipservice but the heart is far from him, he also said many false prophets have gone out n2 the world so when some1 warns us about them in the pulpit we dont wanna hear it, not every1 thst says Lord, Lord will enter-meaning every preacher on tv is not really 4 Christ, some are ravening wolves. I dont want 2 be in darkness myself, i thank God 4 discernment 2 be able to trll who is resl n who isnt. People neef to know not to follow those that honor him only in lipservice, jakes, bynum, dollar, long, hinn, duplantis, white, and so many more. If im about to walk off the cliff please tell me. Everything in the pulpit is not anointed of God 2 preach. The word tells us that people have heaped up teachers for themselves cuz of their itching ears! Also if the are people n the music industry secular or gospel and they are hakf steppin the truth n wirship false gods or another jesus, i want 2 know so that i dont get caught up. God will judge the world and the church can judge the church.

    Gain is not godliness according 2 the bible contentment is godliness. Hard 2 believe when so many tv preachets are only talkin about sowin a seed n dont be broke etc. not saying dont better urself, we should, but a rolls, a lear jet, a 10million mansion, gold toilets etc does not mean these people in the gisoel industry are godly. $money is their god!

    I don’t think they go to far. I just think that whatever Ex Ministries puts out, some people will agree with it all the way (like I do)and then there are some who will take some of what he says with a grain of salt. However, for a person to really appreciate what he says, they would have to do other studying as well (and maybe praying too) People can’t just get mad at the man of God for telling the truth and exposing the demonic agenda in the world and in the church. Yes there are good people out there in the church (and maybe in the world too.) And they need to know what’s behind “the mask” of entertainment and the pulpit.

    I have faith in the Lord Jesus Christ that Craig Lewis is a man of God and all this wonderful work he is doing for the Lord has been approved by Jesus Christ the most high. All his rewards are waiting for him in heaven for all the souls he is reaching for the kingdom of God.
    I don’t think ex ministries is going too far, he is doing the right thing by exposing these rappers and hiphop singers who are destroying our young children’s souls. These young children are being exposed to this kind of things everyday and it’s eating up their minds (every young girls wants to look like Beyonce) I don’t want my daughter to become this way..I learned so much from his DVD’s (the truth behind hiphop)that i even threw away cd’s and all baby phat bags and clothes i used to wear. Now i am very careful on things that i wear and cds that i buy even gospel ones. Now that i am raising a daughter and it is imperative that we teach our children about everything: the circular songs, the clothes that they wear, the cd that they listen to..This is no joke!!!!
    It is time to stand up with the man of God who is teaching us the truth that we can go around the world preach the gospel as Jesus tells us in the book of Matthew. We need to support Ex ministries us christians by telling the unbelievers that there will be one day that the Lord will return and if you don’t accept Him as your personal savior you are going straight to Hell…Believe me HEll is real the book of revelation talks about it..Craig Lewis keep doing the work of God and you will be rewarding in heaven only the Lord will be able to repay you for all this wonderful work that you are doing on this earth…God bless!

    I PRAY FOR THE TRUE REVELATION TO ALL THOSE SEEKING IT. IN JESUS NAME AMEN

    I’ve read some interesting information on his site as well as some confusing information and some inflammatory comments by the people who comment on the site. I think as with anything else we hear or read we should consult the scripture. And we should also continue to pray that our brother does what God has called him to do in the way that God has called him to do it. And I agree with the prayer for revelation to all those seeking it, AMEN.

    I am very thankful for ministers like G Creg Lewis. He is exposing and teaching people to be careful of their involvement with the world. I mean we live in the world but we should not take part in it. Many believers from other countries do not have a problem about listenning secular songs. Ministers do not even bother to teach about it. Becouse first when people come to know Christ as Lord and Savior they are thought from scriptures it is wrong to listen and other songs that does not glorify God. Here in America Christianity many Christians listen secular songs. We have to be careful even those songs we call christian songs. Just becouse they use some biblical words does not mean its fine to listen. We have to be very careful and discern.
    Also, we have to be very very careful ministers. Remember the devil will use anyone to desive us. One time the devil used Apostle Peter to stop Jesus from daying on the cross. Prior to that we see Peter being used by God, to tell Jesus is the Son of God! So, what makes us think our current Mega church leaders will not be used by Satan.
