An interesting article has just come out from Lee Grady called "Say Goodbye to the Untouchable Preachers". This article is basically an appeal for "charismatic" Christians, or those believing in the present day operation of the supernatural gifts of the Holy Spirit, to WAKE UP concerning certain high profile ministers who apart from whatever legitimate gifts they have also been doing the wrong thing. read more »

In the last 30 or so years there has been a huge push to change public opinion concerning homosexual behaviour. Thirty years ago homosexual behaviour was something many people were ashamed of. It was regarded as a filthy perversion. But as homosexuals started "coming out of the closet" and gaining progressively more influence in the media, the judiciary, and government, we've seen a huge shift in the thinking of people across western societies.

You know, in my 20's I used to be a preacher of the gospel. Not having the responsibility of family, it was pretty easy to "Go into all the world and preach the gospel". I did that as much as I was able and I believe the results were fruitful.

Now that I am in my mid 40's, blessed as I am with a lovely wife and two gorgeous daughters, the same desire to preach and bring the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ to people still burns within my heart. But I am not going any more in the same way to the lost and dying. Two Scriptures come to mind: read more »

Asked if Obama is the Anti-Christ, Benny Hinn responds:

"… It’s not Obama no.  It’s not Obama. I have been asked that question many times, and the answer is no.  He is not, he is not the anti-Christ.  He’s a good man, a Christian man.  I pray for him.  I pray that God will give him success.  And I pray that he will support his will."  read more »

DISCLAIMER: I've enjoyed some great times in church buildings, and God has been pleased to do many great things in them, so what I'm about to say should not be construed in the wrong way. In only offer it as food for thought:

One question that arises after reading and hearing so many different things on the internet and in various Christian churches is this: what is the repentance that God requires to enter the Kingdom, and what is required in order to stay in God's Kingdom? What will it take to enter God's Kingdom? How holy do you have to be? read more »

Aliens are just a deceptive manifestation of what the Bible refers to as fallen angels and demons. And as they came in bodily form in Genesis 6, so they are beginnning to do again in our time. "As it was in the Days of Noah, so it will be in the Days of the Coming of the Son of Man".

There are humans co-operating with these demons in what they are doing also. Most would not be aware of the true identity of these spirits. They probably consider them to be what they claim to be. read more »
