Challies Review of "The Shack"
I am posting this because this book continues to come up in so many conversations I am part of. I keep hearing of those who's lives were changed by "The Shack".
Tim Challies did a in depth, thoughtful, review of this book. If you don't like the book, I hope this review will help you to see some of the good in the book, and help you have a better understanding of the author and the background. If you loved the book I hope you will think about his concerns and the dangers of this fiction.

Matt Chandler - The Village Church
I have really enjoyed the teaching of Pastor Matt Chandler of the Village Church recently. My favorite sermon thus far was the one he preached called "Bigger Barns"on 9/6/08. You can listen to it by Mp3 or Podcast on iTunes by subscribing to the Village Church podcast. I have also posted a link to the PDF text of the sermon here.

The Song of the Prosperity Gospel
I came across this the other day! I think it's funny because this is the kind of garbage prosperity teachers so often try to sell off as the gospel. It is also quite sad because these men and women are so wrong and unbiblical in their teavhing and sell themselves and the people that follow them so short of anything that is truely satisfying!
The end of a "revival"
As Many of have already heard Todd Bentley's Lakeland Revival has ended as Todd Bentley has stepped down from the board of directors of Fresh Fire Ministries and has been asked to refrain from all public ministry in light of his announcement of having an emotional affair with a staff member and the subsequent separation from his wife.
Growing up in circles where anything and everything "spiritual" was accepted without being tested or confirmed it should seem that nothing should come as a surprise to me. Yet this "revival" was so absurd that it amazed me how undiscerning and un-biblical many churches and believers have become. It deeply me because I have many friends who trusted and followed Todd Bentley's ministry.
Lee Grady who is the editor of Charisma magazine has caused much stir and made much news with his condemnation and bluntness about where he feels the charismatic and pentecostal movements are headed in respect to Biblical soundness and discernment today. In his article "Life After Lakeland: Sorting Out the Confusion"
Lee Grady answers these questions...
- Why did so many people flock to Lakeland from around the world to rally behind an evangelist who had serious credibility issues from the beginning?
- Why didn’t anyone in Lakeland denounce the favorable comments Bentley made about William Branham?
- Why did God TV tell people that “any criticism of Todd Bentley is demonic”
- Why did a group of respected ministers lay hands on Bentley on June 23 and publicly ordain him? Did they know of his personal problems?
- Can anything good come out of this?
