You Think The Passion Translation Is Bad? This Bible Is WORSE
Where did Kenneth Copeland get the idea that God is 6'2" and weighs a couple hundred pounds? Why did Benny Hinn teach that there are nine persons in the Trinity?

I'm joined by Chuck Lewis from Sheep Among Wolves and Steve Johnson, author of Deconstructing Kenneth Hagin, to look at who thi
"I Did the Funerals:" A Former TBN WOF Pastor Tells All!

Revival vs Revivalism: When Emotion Replaces the Holy Spirit
Does God promise revival in the way it’s being presented today? If the Spirit of God works through His Word, then what are we to make of experiences that seem to bypass the Bible entirely?

The Bible Never Tells Christians to Bind Satan
You’ve probably heard it in sermons, prayer meetings, and deliverance sessions: “We bind you, Satan.” “We bind every principality.” “We bind the devil in Jesus’ name.” But where does the Bible actually teach Christians to do this? In this video, we take a careful, in-context look at the passages most often used to justify the practice of “binding Satan”—including Matthew 16, Matthew 18, Mark 3, an
