Is New Apostolic Governance a Myth?

Is New Apostolic Governance a Myth?

So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. Ephesians 2:19-21 ESV Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Christ Jesus, who was faithful…

Sober Shepherd, Sober Sheep

Sober Shepherd, Sober Sheep

Therefore, preparing your minds for action, and being sober minded, set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, since it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.” 1 Peter 1:13-16 ESV John 10 has been a…

The Resolution of a Lifetime

The Resolution of a Lifetime

Resolved, to improve every opportunity, when I am in the best and happiest frame of mind, to cast and venture my soul on the Lord Jesus Christ, to trust and confide in him, and consecrate myself wholly to him; that from this I may have assurance of my safety, knowing that I confide in my Redeemer. Jonathan Edwards.  July 8, 1723. Hands down, one of the few resolutions I have completed in the time established happened at the end of…

Confess with Your Mouth Jesus Is Lord

Confess with Your Mouth Jesus Is Lord

“Let all the house of Israel therefore know for certain that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified.” Acts 2:36 ESV “I didn’t make Jesus my Lord. If you make Him your Lord that means you’re Lord because you told your Lord what to do. You acknowledge Lordship. You don’t bequeath Lordship.” Voddie Baucham In a matter of fifty-five seconds, another layer of the proverbial onion was being peeled. I listened to this sermon…

Getting the Gospel Wrong

Getting the Gospel Wrong

“A false prophet is known by two things: the fruit that they bear, and the gospel they preach.” Paul Washer I want to pose a sincere question in hopes you will ask yourself this fundamental question. Actually, it is a two-part question. What is the gospel and could you share the gospel based on Scripture to someone else? You might be thinking this is rather elementary, and you may be contemplating exiting this blog right now. After all, everyone has…

I Hope You See and Hear

I Hope You See and Hear

But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear. For truly, I say to you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it. Matthew 13:16-17 ESV In Matthew 13:10, we read of the disciples coming to Jesus and asking Him a question, “Why do you speak to the people in parables?” His response helps us to…

On the Way Through Vanity Fair

On the Way Through Vanity Fair

But Christian and Faithful behaved even more wisely and bore the humiliation and shame with so much meekness and patience that they won several of the men in the fair to their side (though few in comparison to the rest). This made the others so enraged that they decided the two men should die for what they had done and for deluding the men of the fair. If you have read Pilgrim’s Progress, you are likely familiar with the town…

Two Tickets to Paradise

Two Tickets to Paradise

A man and his wife were seated on a stage before a large gathering of people. Those in attendance had come to glean from this man and his prophetic revelations and insight. He begins to tell them that he wants to prepare them for visitations to the third heaven, or what he calls “raptures”. In preparation for this, he instructs them to take deep breaths while discouraging praying, stating that thinking with your mind and praying is the worst thing…

A Berean Scrolls into Social Media

A Berean Scrolls into Social Media

From time to time, I receive messages from women seeking input surrounding specific teachings in the hyper Charismatic church. It is encouraging to see both brothers and sisters in Christ using Biblical discernment and desiring Biblical truth. There are people coming out of this movement who want clarity and answers after the fog lifts from some areas in life. Recently, I received one of those messages from a sister in Christ. She had come across a social media post from…

Reviewing Bethel Part 1: Prophecy 101

Reviewing Bethel Part 1: Prophecy 101

A few weeks ago, Bethel released a video in their series, Rediscover Bethel, dealing with their teaching on basic prophetic ministry. I took time to listen to this video while keeping my Bible open and taking notes. The more I listened, the more I noticed familiar words and phrases mentioned, which originated from a DVD curriculum Kris Vallotton had released several years ago about prophetic ministry. I had taught from this curriculum provided in the former church I attended, the…
