Somehow, I just can’t seem to let go of the Word-of-Faith church I used to go to. Even though I now go to Lutheran Church of the Redeemer (LCMS) that as I have discerned, rightly divides the word of God, I am compelled to visit Living Water Ministries Inc. of Vero Beach, FL. Today, I [...]

After pastoring for forty years I can state unequivocally that the most common cause of spiritual weakness in a Christian (or a church) is a failure to recognize the flesh in its disguise of religious zeal. Like Peter flashing a sword in Gethsemane the fleshly Christian thinks he is doing God’s will [...]

2 Peter 2:1 1But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will also be false teachers among you, who will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing swift destruction upon themselves.
I went to a good solid, Bible preaching church early this morning, and was fed a good [...]

What happens to the victims – those who lose “Faith in Faith”?

Word of Faith Wrests Scripture!
This scenario is read into the Bible so that it may be extrapolated again in several ways.

Does God guaranteed perfect physical health in the Bible?
While this is a popular notion and is widely taught in the Word-of-Faith movement and popularized by the TBN network, it is a false teaching and it sadly leads many astray from the truth.
One of the best resources for understanding healing and the atonement, is Pastor Bob [...]

When I was going to my old WOF (Word of Faith) church, I was in charge of doing recordings on the computer so I can now go back and study some of the aberrant teachings. Lets take a look at the heresy that Jesus died spiritually in the Garden of Gethsemane.
Matthew 26:37-39 And He took [...]

No, being slain in the Spirit is not biblical. Those who practice “slaying in the Spirit” do use Bible passages that talk about people becoming “as dead” (Revelation 1:17) or of falling upon their face (Ezekiel 1:28; Daniel 8:17-18; Daniel 10:7-9).
