Calvary Chapel Fort Lauderdale — Attraction in Pompano Beach

I love Pastor Billy's Eikon sermons because they are very convicting and edifying (we really need more of this in the sanctuary plus he does not rush but allows the Holy Spirit to lead his services whether we worship together or pray together it's always a blessing). I pray that we all wake up and be educated about the definition of true orphans. The govt. & many churches throughout this world profit from displaying false images of who is an orphan which are the schemes of satan showing babies and teens, but never displaying men and women without parents as though a widow who lost her husband can only be a certain age (true ignorance). This worldwide orphan scam is only to make money off of people and for us the church we bought the lie. Why are we the Church so insensitive to adult orphans just because they are no longer 23 years old and aged out of the governmental system of care? Only God knows if we are turning our church into a market place. If the adult is not a teen we can't profit or get credit from men. Are we pleasing men or God in show casing orphans as babies and under the age of 23? We assume everybody (every adult) has a family and make fun of those who disclose that they lost their family at an early age (remember they were once young too) we verbally attack them with worldly nonsense rather than seeing them through the lense of the Holy Spirit and showing true compassion by our actions. We use Christian lingo of God being Father to the fatherless, but refuse to receive adult orphans as mentors or even into our families because of pride and not getting credit for coming alongside of them the way the govt. does it for veterans. There's a major spiritual battle where we use the age limit to limit ourselves for caring (not money) truly caring for every orphan old and young that experienced burn out and trauma from their lost and ask to be connected to a mentor or family. Prayer is to see the Lord rise up for the orphans worldwide and put to death those wicked spirits who exploit the fatherless whether this orphan is young or old we should treat them the way we would want to be treated. The false advertisements needs to stop with us the Church.

Today May 20th, 2018, the pastor paints a fairy tale story about adoption as though when a child gets taken from their real family due to abuse won't experience and abuse, harm, or pain from the new family. They still paint us as babies and teens and still misrepresent the true meaning of an orphan. The bible never said that there is age limit the fatherless will always be fatherless from age 0-100 years old and what happens when that fatherless child runs away from abusive adoptive family they remain without a family to call their own unless people from the community takes them in and becomes the family they never had after losing their biological family. I know that not all adoptive families are evil, but we really need to learn how to weed out evil people from even considering adopting children with Exodus 22:22-24 which says "You must not exploit a widow or an orphan. If you exploit them in any way & they cry out to me, then I will certainly hear their cry. My anger will blaze against you, and I will kill you with a sword. Then your wives will be widows & your children will be fatherless." We got into what if every orphan could have a home as though every home was the safest place on earth we all heard or experienced abuse in the adoptive home and those evildoers of a substitute parent get away with so much murder. I believe we have fail orphans if we can't convict our congregation that adoption is not for everyone and that being fatherless doesn't end at age 24 just because it's convenient to not invest time and funds to bless the true fatherless person who aged out of this crooked system after knowing that he/she went through abuse & had to run away from it as a child in order to survive. This in turn leaves those with this kind of experience without a family, support of any kind, and this is...

Calvary chapel has been my church for my whole childhood to some of middle school. Being at this church I noticed some things. In the middle school or teen ministry maybe during six grade for me I think is when they stopped allowing the kids to worship at the alter, and looking back on this it's outrageous to me.

There is no freedom in this church, no freedom to truly love and experience God, this church is a world pleaser church that scratches the back of your ear and always preaches baby messages nonstop, giving people no discernment and no wisdom. Just empty baby messages.

I'm not gonna lie my favorite part is the worship but for me it's hard to worship in your seat around people that pretend like they love God, and go back to their Lukewarm selves when the get in the car. It makes me want to throw up because all those times I thought my mother was really saved and following after Jesus, we get in the car it's like nothing ever happened.

I found a new church, it's spirit filled and they allow me to go the alter in the adult sanctuary. They taught me about speaking in tongues, and having events where people get healed of sickness. And looking back I feel like Calvary chapel stole something from my Cristian experience of life.

If you still want to go here pray and God will answer you. This hose who truly love him hear his voice. And I pray to anyone that may read this, is seeking a deep relationship with God because I looked and found nothing at Calvary they only gave me the basic scraps of Christianity. And before finding my new church (Words of Life) I went to two dead churches. That is Calvary, and this other church in New Jersey. And a really funny thing that they had in common is that both churches had a pastor cheat on his wife for a stripper. And if you are in the highest position of a church and you do that. It shows that God really did mean it when he said all corruption will be exposed. And if the pastor was corrupt, what do you think the messages he spoke were. Baby messages that teach you that everything is ok, worldliness is welcome in that church, and those who of the world do not love God. So for sake of all things that are holy do not go to a...
