How long will it take before the Southern Baptist Convention disqualifies and/or disciplines some of its leaders such as Rick Warren, Andy Stanley & Beth Moore who are in blatant unrepentant sin, wonders Bible study author, speaker and blogger Michelle Lesley. “Is there any amount of sin these pastors and teachers, and those like them, […]

Bud Ahlheim reviews celebrity pastor Tony Evans’ book “Prayers for Victory and Spiritual Warfare.” Evans is the father of another celebrity, women’s Bible study teacher, speaker and author Priscilla Shirer. From Ahlheim’s report we learn some troubling things about Pastor Evans’ theology. Ahlheim shows that Evans’ teaching on spiritual warfare is decidedly unbiblical. For example, […]
Bud Ahlheim warns of the abominable teaching that’s coming to a church near you — perhaps even the church you attend! “This is a reminder about the danger of Shirer,” says Ahlheim. “It does not take much discernment to recognize her as a false teacher with toxic teaching. If Christ’s presentation of the antithetical “two […]
I received a question today from a woman taking Priscilla Shirer’s Gideon Bible Study. One thing Gideon did NOT do was pray by drawing a circle around himself and demanding that the Lord do something in the circle. No, that example came from a scenario Shirer shared outside of Scripture (“extra-Biblical”) as an example, which […]
Author Amiee Byrd, who is a contributor on Mortification of Spin, has written a follow-up to her stellar review of Fervent authored by Priscilla Shirer. The book was inspired by the popular movie The War Room in which Shirer had a starring role. In it, she offered advise on how Christians should pray. Byrd brought to light Mrs. Shirer’s […]
In his commentary, Glenn E. Chatfield touches on some of War Room’s theological problems and also discusses what he feels are the movie’s positive aspects. All in all what he has to say is fair and balanced. In my view, the Kendrick brothers certainly have good intentions in making “Christian” films. But what I find […]
Priscilla Shirer is an actor, author, speaker, and Bible teacher. As such she has influenced many professing Christians, mostly women. Following her appearance in the hit film War Room, much has been written about her. Some bloggers expressed their concerns about her teaching, and rightly so as some of what she teaches is unbiblical. John Lanagan […]
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 […]
John Lanagan of My Word Like Fire has written another installment of his War Room series. His concern is that Priscilla Shirer’s movie fans will purchase her pre-War Room products and be exposed to her contemplative leanings. For You have abandoned Your people, the house of Jacob, Because they are filled with influences from the east, And they are soothsayers […]
John Lanagan of My Word Like Fire expresses his concern over the actress the Kendrick brothers cast in their new film: I saw the movie, War Room, and liked it very much. Priscilla Shirer is an incredible actress, and the director made wise use of her facial expressions to tell much of the story. Shirer is far more than […]
