My concern was with women elders and deacons in the church. To prepare I studied Scripture. I set up a meeting with the pastor and spoke to him about my concerns with having women elders, deacons, and pastors. He agreed to meet. I would also like to add that I Continue Reading

My concern wasn’t specifically anything happening in my church, but mostly that no one seemed to be prepping me or bringing attention to deception in the church and Christianity. I have been in church all my life and was blown away when I stumbled across NAR through my daughter’s commitment Continue Reading
Speaking up for discernment ministries
Is it just me, or are discernment ministries getting raked over the coals? And is it deserved? Early last summer I stepped back from my daily blogging and posting activities. Not by choice, but medical necessity. Eight months and three surgeries later, I’ve been slowly dipping a toe back in, Continue Reading
Fill in the blank; abortion billboards call evil good
In God’s Word, He warns us, “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.” (Isaiah 5:20) Our children are being raised in an era where this evil is blasting them Continue Reading
Leaving the NAR Church: Max’s story
“Just start making sounds and you will begin to speak through the Holy Ghost.” So I did. At first it seemed I was just making nonsense, but I definitely felt something take over and I started loudly speaking with whatever was going through me. Looking back now, I realize that Continue Reading

“When I arrived in October 2008, the Meridian Vineyard was a nice and fun place to be. Very loving, lots of contemporary worship. This was also when I first heard about Bethel Church out of Redding, California. I started getting a gut check in my spirit almost immediately.” – Ben Continue Reading
Leaving the NAR Church: Anthony’s story
I have received several additional “Leaving the NAR” testimonies since I wrapped up the series earlier this summer. 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 movement. In this series, I’ve been Continue Reading
Wm. Paul Young Teaches New Age Lie About Separation on TBN
For those who haven’t yet heard, “The Shack” author, William Paul Young, is from a New Age/New Spirituality persuasion (like Oprah); likewise, Young rejects the Penal Substitutionary Atonement (that Jesus took the penalty for our sins on the cross). So with this in mind, it’s rather odd that he uses the term Continue Reading
Our Top 7 rules for commenting
Hey! Where did those comments go? When it comes to our comments policy, I’ve always believed that Christians should be able to glorify Christ with their words and actions, without me imposing rules. That hasn’t happened, in spite of our updated Comments Rules of Conduct Policy. And so I have Continue Reading
