Roger Oakland of Understand the Times International begins connecting the dots with the “Jesus Movement” of the ’60s and ’70s. Was this movement really of the Holy Spirit? Was God’s “Presence” in the movement? Or was it another spirit, another gospel and another Jesus? Dot…Calvary Chapel in Southern California, Pastor Chuck Smith, and a so-called move of […]

Will True Christians Please Stand Up?
C.H. Fisher of TruthKeepers has a challenge for professing Christians: Don’t let this be the generation that sits idly by while evil darkens every sacred truth with lies. If anyone believes that it is easy to maintain a stand against the encroaching darkness, let me offer a bit of testimony here. It is not easy at all. […]
Book Review: Priscilla Shirer’s “Fervent”
Priscilla Shirer is an actor, author, speaker, and Bible teacher. As such she has influenced many professing Christians, mostly women.

As is traditionally stated, St. Patrick illustrated the trinity by using a shamrock (i.e., a three-leaf clover): “You tell us that there are three gods and yet one,” the puzzled Irish said […]
Pastors push musical “tones” to reach God and heal our DNA
Forget the Bible and the Holy Spirit – now you can transform your soul, heal the sick and injured, and experience the presence of God – through musical notes played at a specific frequency. Okay, please don’t forget the Bible and the Holy Spirit – I was kidding. But if you are wondering how professing […]
