John Lanagan alerts us to yet another NAR false prophetess, this time Lana Vawser, who has supposedly uttered a prophetic word form God…..that He never spoke. God speaks to us through His Word, not through pretend prophets. The New Apostolic Reformation is not an organization. These are networks of “apostles” and Continue Reading
New Apostolic Reformation (NAR)
Save America – at what cost to the Gospel?
Will Christians replace commitment and loyalty to the Gospel for commitment and loyalty to a dominionist agenda?

What is the “Restoration” Movement?
Will God use our broken stories and the loving influence of the visible church to “restore all things?” Well, not exactly. He is God, and we… well. We are not.

New NAR “Passion Bible” a dangerous heresy
Have you heard about the latest Bible “translation?” This one comes from the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) camp, from the brain of one man, a human-appointed “Apostle.” It’s called “The Passion Translation,” written by Brian Simmons of Stairway Ministries. Simmons has actually released four installments of his new translation: Psalms: Continue Reading
