The New Jezebel – Podcast Discussion

Posted by on Nov 6, 2012 in Podcasts

This week I had another sacred cow barbecue with my friend Stephen Crosby, and former student of mine Steve Bremner This time we covered ‘the new Jezebel‘–which is nothing more than a newly packaged old lie, which basically discourages anybody from asking questions or challenging things that are said or done–specifically in church.  It’s a subtle form of manipulation that some leaders use in order to insulate themselves from being challenged.  It’s a form of manipulation, plain and simple. read more

Revive What?

Posted by on Nov 5, 2012 in Podcasts

This week on the Fire on Your Head podcast I was a guest again along with Dr Stephen R. Crosby, author of Revising Revival.  We ask the question “revive what?”.

What is revival and what is being revived?  We cut through the buzz words and discuss what this is and what it looks like in the Scriptures. We get into asking these questions from the get go and dive into ‘outpouring’ versus discipleship. read more

Accountability and Spiritual Covering–Are They Biblical?

Posted by on Nov 1, 2012 in Podcasts

Have you ever been told you’re in rebellion if you don’t obey your leaders?  Have you ever been taught spiritual authority, that emphasized complicity with leaders for complicity’s sake alone because, “they’re above you?”  Or, have you ever been told you need to be “under a spiritual covering” or curses from God will fall on you? read more

The Spirit of Truth and the Spirit of Falsehood

Posted by on Apr 13, 2010 in Blog

Parts of this article are excerpted from: Healing, Hope or Hype?

A little Bible knowledge is like a little nitroglycerin: dangerous when mishandled.

There’s a subtle deceit and conceit inherent in all fundamental Christianity, Evangelicalism, or whatever one chooses to call it. It’s the belief that mastery of the Scripture is the same as the knowledge of God. The Scriptures may be perfect,[1] but our understanding never will be: not yours and not mine. We can have a biblically accurate understanding of grace, and know nothing of its power in our lives. We can win an argument, splitting hairs over Paul’s doctrine, and know absolutely nothing of Paul’s life. We can know the chronology of Passion Week, and possess nothing of His resurrection life. read more

The Sword and Trowel

Posted by on Mar 17, 2010 in Blog

Realized Christian life expression is often far below its potential. While we’re not saved by our behavior, our behavior has kingdom impact. Few things hinder Christ’s interests in the lives of unbelievers more effectively than the gap between what Christians profess with their words and express with their lives. Our evangelistic efforts can be near impossible because of the flotsam of bad testimony left by the Christian who may have gone before us. This doesn’t excuse the unbeliever, but it sure doesn’t make our task easier! read more

– Have you ever wondered about the apparent contradiction between the “vengeful” God of the Old Testament and the gracious, loving Lord of the New Testament? Have you struggled to reconcile God’s holy anger with His boundless love? read more
