Every so often I receive testimonies from people who have read my “Leaving the NAR Church” series. There are more than 50 of them, and I am adding another. These stories are precious to me, and serve as a painful reminder that there is hope for the dear deceived ones caught up in this insidious […]
Have you ever gotten caught in a drainage ditch? I know that’s a weird question. My husband and I recently went to great lengths – great FENCE links – to keep our dogs out of the muddy ditch that runs along the far side of our farm property. All sorts of interesting farm matter flows […]
If you’re looking for a simple definition of the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR), I’ve come up with this: The NAR is a fast-growing Dominionist movement of new Apostles and Prophets who will lead God’s end-times army in establishing His kingdom on earth, by taking authority over earthly and spiritual realms. Proponents of the NAR believe […]

I noticed a change over the last few years in “seminars” being run on leadership that included no biblical teaching. Worship music started changing, more Bethel songs and songs that seemed to be about how people felt rather than a worship song. They seemed to turn into rock concerts and now offer earplugs on entry […]
My concern was Law over Grace. I was a member of a messianic group. One day the leader said that from now on we had to follow Kashrut (Jewish dietary laws). I asked him why we had to follow Kashrut when believers are under Grace. He said if I didn’t agree then to leave and […]
We were going to an NAR church when the pastor started showing clips from Roma Downey’s movie from The Bible series. He started basing his sermons on them. When he said that Jesus came to change the world I knew that things were not right. So I started researching NAR as I didn’t know at […]
