By David Dombrowski If I were to say to you that much of the church today has set aside the power of God, would you be shocked? After all, we live in a time where having the power of God in your life is a major theme preached from pulpits across the country. And book … [Read more…]
By Warren B. Smith The “Jesus” of Jesus Calling completely contradicts the sober warnings of the true Jesus Christ in Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21 when he states: “The future is a phantom, seeking to spook you. Laugh at the future!”1 In the Bible, Jesus Christ makes it clear that the future is … [Read more…]
By Tony Pearce Sadly for millions of Jewish people the idea that Jesus could be the one to bring peace and reconciliation seems ridiculous and offensive. I used to visit a Jewish lady who was born around the beginning of the 20th century and brought up in a small town in Poland. Her first memory … [Read more…]
Today is Holocaust Remembrance Day. Sadly, many people don’t even think about it, and sadder still, many children in public schools are not being taught about it (and in some instances, they are being taught that the Holocaust was exaggerated or didn’t even happen at all!).

By T. A. MacMahonCo-Founder of The Berean Call Let’s say I were to voice the question, “Heard from God lately?” to a very large crowd that had a mix of Christians and non-Christians.

By Warren B. Smith In Jesus Calling, “Jesus” mentions a key New Age term: co-creation. Many people do not realize that co-creation is a New Age evolutionary concept that teaches that man as God co-creates with God because man is God also. But man is not God. Co-creation is a New Age concept that entails … [Read more…]
We had hoped and prayed that the war would end without an invasion of Bautzen, for we continued to be afraid of the Russians, not knowing how they would treat us. Would they pillage, burn, and rape, or would they liberate and restore? We had been fed horrible propaganda about the Reds. According to Hitler, they were as despicable as the Jews.

By Lois Putnam It’s a fact that the sloth is so adored zoos are having a hard time finding enough of them for all of the would-be onlookers. It seems many are all agog over sloths.

By Berit Kjos And he caused his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom: also he observed times, and used enchantments, and used witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar spirit, and with wizards: he wrought much evil in the sight of the Lord. (2 Chronicles 33:6) “Softening Up” … [Read more…]

by Roger Oakland Evolution, according to its biological definition, is a mechanism that changes life through time. Although for years, many have used the idea of evolution to explain away God, there are many today who are saying, because of evolution, everything is God. This trend is obvious in Great Britain, the very country where … [Read more…]
LTRP Note: The Message “Bible” written by the late Eugene Peterson is widely quoted by pastors and other Christian leaders. For many years, Lighthouse Trails has tried to show that this paraphrase of God’s Word should not be used (as it so often is) as God’s Word, and in fact, is a distortion of God’s … [Read more…]

He not only … [Read more…]

By Ray Yungen From a theological viewpoint, there now exist two branches (so to speak) of the Catholic Church—the traditional (as defended by someone like Karl Keating in his book Catholicism and Fundamentalism) and the progressive or contemplative* element (as exemplified by Thomas Merton and Henri Nouwen).1 And while these two branches (or movements) can … [Read more…]
By Lynn Lusby Pratt That title was a crack I made around 2006 when I became aware of the new wave of false teaching entering the church. One aspect of that teaching hinted that our experience with Jesus was (should be?) sexual. (Christians who use a mantra, as in contemplative prayer, and go into … [Read more…]

By Roger Oakland Just as there are good and bad shepherds, there are also good and bad sheep. Sheep that stray away from the flock do so because they make their own choices.
