Bob Jones ‘word’ from Florida, and “some” back-peddling by Lee Grady

Getting sick of reading ‘the latest’ on this revival in Lakeland? If you are I understand, for I’m getting tired of posting about it. Nevertheless as the Church of Jesus Christ we need to be aware of what is transpiring within the body, and to be alert to possible infiltrations of satan , deceptions, and [...]

An Open Letter to J. Lee Grady and Charisma Magazine

Thumbs up to Steve Lumbley at Spiritual Pathways: An Open Letter to J. Lee Grady and Charisma Magazine.

Angels, Bentley, The Dudley Outpouring, and ‘Civil War’

This is somewhat lengthy. BUT, rather then break it up into 2-3 posts, I’m going to combine them.

David Wilkerson Gets Few Invitations? - But the Wolves Prosper

What a time we live in brother and sisters. When reading the many stories concerning the condition of the Church, I feel like David who said in Psalm 27:13,
“I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD In the land of the living”
Thank God we do see [...]

Excellent column on Grace. I searched for the article this author references but couldn’t locate it…
From Greenville online: What’s so amazing about ‘Amazing Grace’?
When someone you love is misrepresented and slandered — as Jesus Christ was by James Lawson in Leonard Pitts’ Greenville News column Wednesday — to keep silent is traitorous and cowardly. In [...]

Lakeland Revival: Todd Bentley, Bob Jones, and some things to consider

Let me begin by saying, in the last few days I’ve received some pretty nasty letters from those who were angry with me for posting some of the teachings of Todd Bentley; why? Because they believe this revival and Todd Bentley’s teachings are from God. I’ll respond now to those letter with this: In my [...]

‘Giving an Offering’ or ‘Sowing’ to Receive the Anointing of God

Who said this?
“If an anointed point is made by a minister of the gospel and an associate wants that particular point activated in their life, they will immediately sow into it.
By that I mean, they will run up to the pulpit or the altar—“I want that”—and sow into the anointing in that moment of [...]

Those Who Resist

From the Lighthouse:
These are critical days for the body of Christ. We are in the epoch of church history spoken of by the apostle Paul as “perilous times” (II Timothy 3:1). What makes the danger all the more imminent is that not much of the church believes it. Many of us have owned the glorious [...]

No creeds, no miracles, no Resurrection: Minister preaches faith without the symbolism

You’ve got to read this news story. Is this where the Church in the US is headed?

The Ecumenical National Day of Prayer

Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?  And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?  And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of [...]

Tinker with Theology, Tinker with Man: and Angel’s once again..

Very interesting article up at Herescope this evening; it sort of goes hand and hand with the article below on man’s tinkering with creating a new ‘being’ the ‘humanzee’. Man is always trying to play God, isn’t he….
I’ll only post a portion, you can read it at the link: but take notice that once again [...]

Hagee: Further Denials of the Truth

You know, I fear for this man. At one point during the many letters and phone calls he received from Christian and Messianic leaders, concerning the book, In Defense of Israel, my hope and prayer was that this man would wake up to what he is doing…but it didn’t happen.
