When we wonder why Christians are so uneducated about their faith in just about every subject, all we have to do is look at our church libraries. Every church I’ve been to has a huge section of novels (including too many “romance” novels) but relatively few books on theological matters. Those books with meat instead of junk food are also rarely checked out. Perhaps the churches should get rid of the novels and let their members go to the public libraries for those, and use the church library as a repository of knowledge about theological matters — and THEN promote it for learning!
Midwest Christian Outreach has an excellent article exposing the false teachings of Neil Anderson. Anderson has put so many people into the bondage of fear.
An interesting incident with Beth Moore leads to more questions about her qualifications for teaching, let alone the unbiblical nature of her marital relationship when it comes to leadership and spiritual matters. Yet hundreds of churches ardently promote her.
Do Christians have the authority to rebuke the devil? Too many, especially in the charismatic churches, think they can rebuke the devil — and they are in grave error.
10 Questions about Adventism; Good information about the SDA and why they are indeed a cult.
What does the Bible say about false prophets? Notice how much of this applies to Mormons, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Moonies, et al.
Speaking of IHOP, here is a very good video exposing some of their false teachings.
I agree — the “Sinner’s Prayer” is unbiblical nonsense.
Proper understanding and translation of Exodus 21:22-25 refutes pro-abortion advocates’ misuse of the passage to support abortion.
Finally, here is some blasphemy of great proportions. There is no fear of God here.

Hi Glenn,
Nice lineup at the Leadership Conference. Oh, but Driscoll repented, so we have been told!

Since he was such a poor leader, I think there is nothing Driscoll can tell anyone about leadership except how to do it wrongly.
No kidding. Kind of like how useful he was at the "Act LIke Men" conference, after crashing Strange Fire and the ensuing fiasco there. Of course at this conference, he's keeping good company. Cough cough.

Carolyn,
Driscoll never grew up, so he can't act like a man, nor can he be a leader.
And thanks for the head up on the other issue.
Thank-you for pointing your audience to Lighthouse Trails Research for information.
Awana is huge in our area and parent brag and boast of its effectiveness. One of the aspects of Awana that bothers me to no end is their "reward" system for everything. These 'leaders' give rewards/tickets out to their young attendees for attendance, memorizing Scriptures, doing their homework, etc. It is a reward system based on works and the tickets they "earn" are used to go to their "store" to buy things they can take home.
When we have to "reward" our churched children to every little thing they do so they can go "buy" things, exactly what message are we, as supposedly mature adults telling these young people?
Jesus, on the other hand, Scripture tells us "He went humbly to the cross," and for free. And our rewards are in Him also.
As a woman/child of our LORD, I could never sit under Driscoll or men that have his view of theology, as false and abusive as it is. LORD have mercy.
