God’s Redemption in the Online World

God’s Redemption in the Online World

It was October 25, 2020. I had received an email from an individual concerning an old “prophetic word” that I had written, and though the email was kind and seeming to be encouraging, a pit in my stomach ensued. This one email affirming this alleged prophetic revelation drove me to repentance as a false prophet. It also began the process of wanting these old words removed from a popular Charismatic media site. For several years now, dozens of these words…

Let Love Compel to Warn Those Who Are False

And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome, but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil, correcting his opponents with gentleness.

There is no joy in making such a statement, but there is…

Many of us can recall songs from our childhood, and the words once filed deep within our minds emerge easily from our lips. Many of us have put things to music when studying for exams and trying to memorize various facts because it makes learning easier and retainable. Music is an important part of our praise and worship unto…
