Honestly, this might just be the dumbest pastor I’ve ever heard in my life. It sounds like he gets his doctrine from 1 Opinions 3:16–or Acts 29.
Pastor of Springs Church Winnipeg, Leon Fontaine, says that because “millions of children are starving to death” and “millions of babies are aborted,” that “God is in control” is the “Dumbest doctrine he’s ever heard in his life.” According to him, it has caused more “heartache” and “more smart people to deny Christ” because of this doctrine.

[smirk] “God is in control…” Shut up! That’s the dumbest doctrine I’ve ever heard in my life… “God is in control.”
Any pastor that teaches this kind of nonsense has exposed himself as unqualified to lead a flock of Christians. You can see the video below:
