The Good:
Ecumenical vs Evangelical. Thought-provoking. Continuing in this vein, read Idolatry, Demons, and Ecumenism.
How do they [blaspheme the Holy Spirit]? By attributing to the Holy Spirit words that He didn’t say, deeds that He didn’t do, and experiences that He didn’t produce, attributing to the Holy Spirit that which is not the work of the Holy Spirit. Endless human experiences, emotional experiences, bizarre experiences, and demonic experiences are said to come from the Holy Spirit. Visions, revelations, voices from heaven, messages from the Spirit through transcendental means, dreams, speaking in tongues, prophecies, out-of-body experiences, trip to heaven, anointings, miracles – all false, all lies, all deceptions – attributed falsely to the Holy Spirit. Read the rest, by John MacArthur.
Why we can’t forgive ourselves. Good response to those who are always saying, “I just can’t forgive myself.”
Another good article on who the real Pharisees are.
How VBS has driven too many from the Church. I remember my pagan mother sending me to VBS, where I learned nothing of eternal consequence.
The Bad:
More about Debi Pearl’s false teaching supporting spousal abuse. Oh, and her husband Michael is right in there with his own dangerous teaching. I love this great response to Michael.
Verse mapping — another false teaching which is new to me. Where do people get such nonsensical ideas?!?!?!
The Osteens never met a Bible verse that they didn’t twist.
Another example as to why Matt Chandler is not qualified to be a pastor: he continually demonstrates his lack of discernment.
The Ugly:
An old “hymn” that really, really, needs to be trashed!
Who or what are they worshiping here?
Bethel Redding teaches “Firestarters,” a course to “activate” your prophetic gift. You too can become a prophet there for only $395. Nothing like cranking out more and more false prophets to blaspheme God.
That THING is considered a hymn?
