“The moment you speak something out you give birth to it”
Amiee Byrd, author and contributor on Mortification of Spin, has written a review of Positively Powerless. I’ll get to Aimee’s review in a moment but before I do, a short synopsis on the Power of Positive Thinking is in order. Positive thinking is based in the so-called Law of Attraction which is the principle that like attracts like. […]
Star Wars and the Ancient Religion
Peter Jones of Truthxcange examines the pagan worldview entrenched in Star Wars. George Lucas, the creator of the Star Wars saga, wanted to “produce a children’s fairy tale set in outer space as a ‘teaching tool’ for the re-creation of ‘the classic cosmic mysteries,’” says Jones. Lucas succeeded, big time. There’s no denying that his […]
God’s New Sound
Kudos to Herescope’s researchers for their willingness to tackle topics many discernment ministries won’t touch. After reading “Part 11: The Physics of Heaven* A Serial Book Review & Theological Interaction” penned by Pastor Larry DeBruyn, you’ll understand why some researches shy away from esoteric topics such as the so-called “physics of heaven.” This is no easy […]

Prophecy: “For men (and women) will be lovers of self…”
In this post Elizabeth Prata of The End Times deals with America’s love affair with “self.” We’ve become so enamored with self that our cellphones are used to take “selfies” that we post on Instagram, Facebook, send to friends, family and perfect strangers. Even professing Christians, who should know better, are caught up in […]
Rick Warren’s weight-loss plan named Christian Book of the Year
The prestigious award given to Rick Warren is an indication of how little discernment the Christian community has. To name The Daniel Plan book of the year, when the men who helped Warren write his weight-loss plan are proponents of New Age/New Thought mysticism, to include Oprah’s “favorite doctor,” Mehmet Oz, is a travesty.
