Bently Out of Shape

Tuesday, July 1st, 2008

There’s an excellent article about the recent goings on in Florida with one Todd Bentley Here.
I remember reading the book they mention, The Beautiful Side of Evil, many years ago, so I can vouch for the quotes although I do not own the book. It’s so sad that no one paid attention, and especially that [...]

A Fly In The Ointment

Wednesday, June 4th, 2008

Many believers are being relentlessly pressured with the notion that the Bible is insufficient or deficient and that the truly spiritual Christian will [...]
