I first heard Pastor Mac in February 1991. My then-girlfriend had started attending his church and…read moreinvited me to go with her one Sunday morning. Mac was in the midst of a teaching series about end-time prophecy in response to the Gulf War that began a month earlier. He also encouraged first-time visitors to come back a couple of more times "to take a more accurate measure of us as a church." The next two times I went to Living Word Christian Center, I still resisted the altar call for salvation. I actually got offended near the end of my third visit when Pastor Mac instructed the congregation to turn to each other and say, "Jesus is my Lord." (I now use a similar technique when witnessing to someone who claims to be a Christian.) As we were leaving the church, I told my girlfriend I did not want to go back there again. Still, I knew in my heart that I needed to get my spiritual life in order. I did so a few days later when my sister and her husband led me to the Lord. Soon I attended membership classes at Living Word and decided to make it my home church. Every weekend I looked forward to hearing Mac Hammond minister. I admired his speaking abilities and knowledge of the Bible. Mac frequently reminded us from the pulpit that we come to church to hear from God and not be entertained by man. Listening to Pastor Mac's sermons helped me overcome a lot of erroneous beliefs I picked up over the years. Although he is often criticized by the media for preaching a so-called "prosperity gospel," Mac often says, "God wants you to be a winner in every area of life." Because Living Word is a large church, Mac Hammond delegates many pastoral duties to staff members. Therefore, I never got to know him on a personal level. Still, the Lord used Pastor Mac to speak into my life many times. One night in February 1992 before dismissing the service, Mac announced he had a word of knowledge saying, "Someone here is involved in a multi-level marketing company...you need to get out of it and find a regular job." This was a confirmation to a dream I had the day before. For the next four years I worked at a variety of places before God called me into the ministry. Eventually, the Lord led me to leave Living Word and travel as a full-time missionary. One Sunday morning in 2002, I was staying with a friend in Lakeland, Florida, and decided to walk over to a nearby church. When I arrived at Family Worship Center, the first service was still in progress. Immediately, I recognized the voice of the minister speaking. Mac Hammond happened to be the guest speaker that day! It was a pleasant surprise to see and hear my former pastor again. When I came back for the evening service, I got to briefly talk with Pastor Mac. Since then, I've made frequent returns to the Twin Cities area and occasionally visit Living Word Christian Center plus evangelize with them. I will always be grateful for Pastor Mac. His obedience to the call of God changed my life as well as many others.

I went to LWCC recently. When Mac Hammond started sprinkling alt-right and tea party dogma into…read morehis sermon, I decided to get some exercise and wait until the end of the service to get communion and prayer. While walking in the hall, I did pray for someone and they were immediately miraculously healed. Later an armed security guard stopped me and asked me what I was doing. I said I was waiting until the end of the service to get prayer. He demanded I empty my pockets. He said he has the right to see everything in my pockets. I refused and he demanded I leave. He said, "You are not going to get prayer here." He followed me into the parking lot. I have also been assaulted by one of the leaders of the men's breakfast because I made the mistake of opening a visitor information packet from the center of our table. I know LWCC believes God has to tell them to heal someone before they will do it, whereas as a street healer, I go ahead and do it unless God tells me not to. To them, I must be guilty of unauthorized miraculous healing. I am a 64-year-old professional. What could they have suspected me of doing? What kind of paranoia would create a policy to stop old men and make them empty their pockets in front of others at church? Is this is what Christianity is about: the alt-right and the Tea Party, armed goons at church to keep the congregation in line, and non-Biblical spiritual traditions? Miracles are commonplace at other churches. So go to another church where God is moving like Redeeming Love Church, Miracles in the Marketplace, Josiah Center, and Way of the Lord. Avoid LWCC and find a church with a mature staff in conduct and spiritually.

My experience at Holy Cross was one of the main reasons I left the Roman religion in favor of…read moreChristianity. When I came here I was going through a terrible time as a single father in poverty. I had gone through the hell of having children aborted against my will, divorce, and watching my precious family crumble. I thought that Catholicism would be a place of boundless love like I read about in the Bible, so I entered RCIA here. I also thought that I would receive the support I needed to care for what was left of my family and hopefully someday rebuild another one so I could have more children and adopt orphans to reflect God's love towards them. I begged the "priests" for help and in return I was told by "priests" I am not worth his time and that I am not welcome here because I was going through a difficult time in my life. I thought it would be like the story of the Prodigal Son returning to the Father. I fully expected to be met with love and peace, but instead I was brutalized and abused mentally, emotionally, and spiritually by "priests" and parishioners. I also thought that it was apostolic where everyone lived like the apostles and worked together for God's glory to bless the poor and save sinners, so I worked for free for parishioners and gave any money I could to benefit my neighbors, the poor, and the church. In return, there was only judgement, hatred, and abuse. There was precious little love here and the only mercy I saw was a picture on the wall. For instance, I was told by one of their parishioners: "do not even look at the urban poor, they are cursed by God. Let them perish." To be fair, a "priest" did return some of my tithe money when I complained about the lack of love and mercy. But I was not searching for money! I was searching for the love of God! Fortunately, there is love, beauty, and mercy in the Protestant, Christian faith and all I can recommend to anyone experiencing the loneliness, isolation, abuse, and Phariseeism of Catholicism is to get out yesterday. You're not alone! There is hope and God's power outside of Catholicism! I think the problem with Holy Cross is that it focuses on propping up historically arbitrary traditions rather than focusing on blessing the repentant sinner by any means necessary. Hopefully they can figure things out and be a beacon of hope to their community. All is forgiven. Many prayers and blessings your way! God has already more than healed me from the damage inflicted upon me and my family by the Pharisees of Catholicism. Christ has freed me from Catholicism! I am a beloved child of God!
