For the Love of the Search
You know, it’s so easy to proclaim your undying allegiance to the King of Kings when there is little, or no cost to pay. It’s so easy to passionately yell out, “Abba! I’ll die for you!” …. when there is no gun to your head. But how strong will your faith be “when the rubber meets the road?” [Read More]
Anytime you want to stir up a heated debate in christian circles, just bring up the latest “revival”. People will become polarized in their opinions very quickly. Some want to toss each and every revival out the window and chalk it up to being “the work of the devil”. Others want to embrace each revival with open arms, regardless of the character of who is “headlining.” [Read More]
The Harlem Shake is the latest craze to capture the youth of our churches. Where did it come from? Does it belong in the church? Should pastors allow this? [Read More]
I was doing some more research on the Lakeland Revival and stumbled upon this message on the Elijah List web site dated April 23, 2008 (at the “peak” of the Lakeland Revival). Apparently nothing could stop that revival either ….
“June 22 to July 22 will be a significant time in the spirit. (Todd didn’t elaborate on this period.) This Revival will NOT be stopped.” [Read More]
Around 2000-01, Steve Shultz was an avid supporter of Todd Bentley, shamelessly promoting Fresh Fire whenever he had the chance. Todd Bentley was removed from the web site(s) soon after the Lakeland fiasco occurred and hasn’t been added back to the site since. My guess is that, due to the sheer embarrassment, Steve doesn’t want to touch Todd Bentley with a 50-foot pole. I could be wrong, but if past behavior is any indicator, Steve will do anything to preserve the reputation of the Elijah List. [Read More]
Paul Cain, in his famous “Stadium” speech/prophecy, spoke of a time when a “nameless-faceless” generation would go about doing the works of the Kingdom – with signs, wonders and miracles in abundance. Repeatedly, young members of the “prophetic movement” are told that they ARE that generation. [Read More]
God moving among His people is a beautiful thing … and I’m all for forgiving ANYbody of ANY sin. But have you asked yourself why, all of a sudden, there’s this HUGE fanfare over a Todd Bentley event? Other ministers have had “revivals” … God.TV never “gate crashed” their schedule for them. What gives? [Read More]
When one works in the area of web design and IT for over a decade, one can develop a bit of “overconfidence” when it comes to your run-of-the-mill internet scams and hoaxes. Well, yesterday’s failure knocked me off my high horse when I sent out an email requesting insight into the latest hoax that stated that Joel Osteen had renounced his christian faith and was walking away from the ministry. [Read More]
Hi All, I came across this post this morning. Is it true? Can anyone verify this? http://joelosteenministries.wordpress.com/2013/04/05/joel-osteen-resigns-cites-lack-of-faith-leaves-christianity Leave your comments below …. let me know!
There are many church leaders, and churches in general, falling into sin and deception. I started really noticing this in the late 1980′s, when I was in my late teens and early 20′s. Deception and foolishness wasn’t as rampant back then … or maybe it was, and had not yet been brought to light. [Read More]
