Another Gospel

August 6, 2022

0

If you have been a believer any amount of time you are familiar with the verse from Galatians, warning about “Another Gospel.” If you are like me, you may have associated this with Jehovah Witnesses or maybe Mormons. More and more I am beginning to see the zeal for a few passages from the Bible […]

Lessons From the Catholic Church

May 15, 2016

There are so many things about the Catholic Church I disagree with and believe that they do not line up with the Word of God but with the Catholic Church and most other groups that name Jesus as Savour there are things that can be gleaned and learned from them. So often evangelical groups have […]

King Saul Loved Worship Yet Was Unchanged

July 19, 2015

Here in America we have experienced some of the greatest in quality and anointing of worship for several decades yet the church grows more secular almost by the day. People often pick the church they go to with the worship as the primary consideration. As so many of us have felt a flood of His Presence […]

Prophecy Series, Putting Prophecy to Work

June 28, 2015

0

In some churches and individual’s lives prophecy is very common in others prophecy is completely absent so where should it be? One thing is for sure we have a pattern in the Bible of prophecy and prophets as common place.  There prophets mentioned in the Bible that we were never given any of their prophesies […]

Prophecy Series, Encouraging Words Only Fallacy

June 21, 2015

1

A very common doctrine among some of the spirit filled movement is that God gives encouraging words to us exclusively in this, the church age.  This doctrine trains people to give prophetic words that encourage others and that the prophets of the Old Testament and their ways are gone now. This doctrine is based on […]

Prophecy Series, Does Character Increase Gifting?

June 7, 2015

0

One thing I have noticed is when a person moves in the gifts of the spirit people automatically equate that this person moving in the gifts has a life of good character and is most likely very sound on all their doctrinal stands.  This is complete non-sense and a huge trap.  The church in California […]

Prophecy Series, Prophetic or Prophet

May 31, 2015

A common question concerning prophecy and prophets is just because someone prophesies once or twice are they a prophet?  So I hope to distinguish the difference between prophecy and the office of prophet. The Prophet The New Testament clearly distinguishes that there are two primary offices or positions of title amongst believers, the apostle and […]

The Timeline of Revival

May 17, 2015

0

Revival is always about what a mighty and powerful God wants to do, seeing the His big plans and purposes for the individuals and the entire world He created. Too often we think revival is about our best plans placing together a strategy and idea of what we know from what we have learned and […]

Cliché Christianity, Can I Get an Amen?

April 26, 2015

0

Not sure who I will offend so I apologize ahead of time.  If God is returning for a glorious church without spot of wrinkle then one would assume that this church would not be a church filled with habitual language in prayers, teaching, and even prophecies, let alone all the Christian clichés. Matthew 6:7 But […]

Stories From A Pastor, Side Effects of Pride – Subtitled Prideful Free Agents

April 19, 2015

0

Seems like the pulpit messages about pride are few these days compared to what used to be heard years ago. In times past you might get questioned if you used the word “pride or proud” even about one of your children but not today, no risk at all. As the devil is described in Ezekiel […]
