You’ve no doubt heard the sayings, “eat the meat and spit out the bones,” and, “don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater.” These are interesting metaphors for how we as Christians should somehow accept truth with just a tiny little lie baked in. As if there is such a thing. There isn’t. Truth with […]
What is the Eastern Orthodox faith all about, and is it biblical? I remember a few years back when Hank Hanegraaf, the nationally syndicated host of the radio talk show program Bible Answer Man, was fired from his radio network after his conversion to Eastern Orthodoxy.

Jesse Westwood is a 3 year alumni of Bethel Church in Redding California, attended Bill Johnson’s mystical Bethel School of Super Natural Ministry, and has since walked away from the Charismatic Church.

Ask any Christian woman if she would enjoy basing her faith on satanic lies, and she’ll look at you like you have two heads. Of course not! No one really wants to be deceived. Yet with so many trends plowing into the modern church, it’s easy to get swept away in the latest, shiniest feel-good […]
A few years ago I became aware of a network of churches called Association of Related Churches, or ARC. This church planting organization runs on the Seeker, Growth-By-Numbers model and started in 2000 with six founders: Greg Surratt, Billy Hornsby, Rick Bezet, Chris Hodges, Dino Rizzo and Scott Hornsby. The ARC website used to list […]
Hillsong founder Brian Houston has announced he will be transitioning away from his current role as global senior pastor.
