When Pastors Smoke Weed and preach the Word: A Wake-Up Call to the Church


By Dr. Vincent Rhodes | Coffee with Jesus Talk

I never thought I’d see the day. A man—calling himself a pastor—took pages from the Holy Bible, ripped them out, rolled them up, and used them to light a joint.

This isn’t a parody. It’s not satire. It actually happened. And if it doesn’t grieve your spirit or stir your soul, then maybe it’s time to check your spiritual pulse.

This isn't just a moment of madness. It's a sign of the times.

The Desecration of the Sacred

For generations, the Bible has been treated with reverence. It has been the foundation of faith, the anchor of truth, and the living Word of God. But in today’s upside-down world, even the sacred isn’t safe from desecration.

A Bible isn't just a book. It’s not some disposable relic of an ancient religion. It’s the living breath of God—spoken, written, and preserved for generations to know Him.

So when someone—especially a pastor—uses those pages for a high, it’s not just rebellion. It’s blasphemy.

This is what happens when reverence is replaced with entertainment. When ministers become influencers. When churches chase clout instead of truth.

“Woe to Those Who Call Evil Good…”

Isaiah 5:20 couldn’t be more relevant:

“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness…”

We’ve entered a time where rebellion is repackaged as authenticity. Disrespect is marketed as transparency. And sin is sold under the guise of “breaking traditions.”

But beloved, God is not mocked.

Galatians 6:7 warns us:

“Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap.”

This isn’t just about marijuana. This is about a lack of fear of the Lord. A growing disregard for holiness. And a generation being led by those who have lost sight of the cross.

The Church Needs to Wake Up

We are long past the days of playing church. We don’t need more celebrity pastors or stage productions. We need truth tellers, watchmen, and shepherds who will cry out, “Repent, for the kingdom of God is at hand!”

The Church must rise—not with judgmental arrogance, but with holy boldness. We must call sin what it is. Not because we’re perfect, but because we revere the God who is.

We must once again treat the Word as sacred—not as rolling paper, not as a prop, but as the living truth that saves, heals, and sets free.

There’s Still Hope

Here’s the good news. Yes, even for that pastor. Even for those who mock today—grace is still available.

But repentance must come before restoration.

The blood of Jesus still speaks. It still covers. But we must turn back to the God we’ve forgotten.

“If My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray, and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven…” – 2 Chronicles 7:14

Final Thoughts

This isn’t just a scandal. It’s a spiritual warning.

To every believer reading this: Guard your heart. Protect your spirit. Stay grounded in truth. Don’t get swept up in a culture that mocks what is holy. Be bold. Be unashamed. And above all, be faithful.

Because when pastors start smoking the Word, you better believe judgment is near.

Stay awake. Stay in the Word. And stay grounded in Jesus.

Lefties Losing It: Snow White actress Rachel Zegler’s ‘massive backflip’

Once Upon a Woke Time… There was a time when Disney enchanted audiences with stories that transcended time—tales of courage, hope, and yes, true love. But in 2025, Snow White —a reboot of the beloved 1937 classic—hit the box office not with a magical bang, but a dismal thud. Critics panned it, audiences stayed away, and even loyal Disney fans were left scratching their heads. Why did it fail? Was it poor marketing? A saturated market? Or could it be that Disney forgot the golden rule: stay out of politics, and let the story shine ? When the Princess Doesn’t Believe in Princes Much of the backlash can be traced to the film’s star, Rachel Zegler. Long before the movie hit theaters, clips surfaced of Zegler dismissing the original Snow White tale. She stated in interviews that the story was outdated, mocked the idea of being “saved by a prince,” and emphasized that her version of Snow White was “not dreaming about true love.” Now, let’s pause for a second. It’s one thing to adapt a...

Dr. W. B. Clark and the 1909 Cancer-Public Health Debate: Parasites as a Cause?

In the early 20th century, as medical science continued to evolve, a variety of theories emerged about the origins and causes of cancer. One of the more controversial voices in this conversation was Dr. W. B. Clark , a physician who, in 1909 , boldly declared that parasites were the primary cause of cancer . His views sparked both intrigue and skepticism within the scientific community, highlighting the tensions between emerging medical theories and established norms of the time. Who Was Dr. W. B. Clark? Dr. W. B. Clark was a practicing physician in Indiana, active during a period when cancer research was still in its infancy. Although not a household name today, he contributed to the growing body of medical speculation and debate surrounding the nature of cancer. At the time, cancer was poorly understood, and treatments were rudimentary at best. Researchers explored a wide range of causes, from environmental factors to heredity — and in Clark's case, infectious organisms . The Par...
