Women in Combat

In this hard-hitting piece Bible study author, speaker and blogger Michelle Lesley urges Christian men to “gird up, gear up, and stand up.”  Why?  “Because some women in combat are wounded, battle fatigued, and in need of some R&R.”  She writes: Over the last few months, there’s been a lot of talk about the possibility […]

Christians Don’t Take Personality Tests

I discovered the following post, written by Jessica Pickowicz, on Michelle Lesley’s blog. I’ve written on this subject myself in Carl Jung: Psychologist or Sorcerer?   In it I examined Carl Jung’s and Isabel Briggs Myers’ typological approach to personality.  The Myers-Briggs test is designed to see what makes people tick.

The Beck Lies: Mormon Leads Prayer to False God at Ted Cruz Campaign Office

Over at Pulpit & Pen, Seth Dunn informs us that Ted Cruz is surrounded by cultists, knows it, and it doesn’t seem to bother him.  To be fair, to get elected, political candidates need financial support and people’s votes.  To that end, Marco Rubio, a Roman Catholic, has stated that he “fully understands Catholic doctrine” yet […]

Dear Liberty U Students and The Gospel Coalition: You Have Bigger Problems Than Trump

Learning the Path blogger, Brandon, reports on past and present speakers at Liberty University, some of whom are outright false teachers, and he tells us why they’re accused of playing fast and loose with the truth. One example he gives is Ann Voskamp who’s scheduled to speak on February 10th.  Brandon points out that this […]

Sozo – a dangerous “inner healing and deliverance ministry”

Before I get to Kim Olsen’s blog post, those who are unfamiliar with Sozo prayer need to know more about it.  First of all, Sozo prayer is the brain child of husband and wife team Bill (self-proclaimed modern-day apostle) and Beni  (New Age guru) Johnson, both of whom are pastors of the infamous Bethel Church in Redding […]
