So, I get this question a lot. “What do you think about grave sucking?” The issue is worthy of a great deal of ignoring, but the question has grown into a marker now. More recent public defenses of the issue cry out for clarity of the real issues. So, I’m weighing in. 1 First, the […]

Pure Heavenly Revelation Simon Peter receives a revelation from the Father. “Simon, flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in Heaven.” Simon’s revelation arrives pure, authentic, and powerful enough to become a foundation for the most important remarks of Jesus on Ekklesia, kingdom, kingdom authority, and spiritual warfare.

Let’s rehearse Gideon’s storyline, the judge in Israel who confronted and defeated the harvest stealing lawlessness with a radical, representative Remnant. Much of what we have given ourselves […]

Ignore the Dead End Detours Prophetic websites, leading church-growthism syncretism with apostolic restorationists, and general neo-evangelical urban legends combine with early church myths that ignore Scripture and common sense to produce terrible misconceptions and misrepresentations of the kingdom of God and its Ekklesia.
