Renounce the Spirit of Tame Christianity

The Lord spoke to me in a way that transformed the way I look at evangelism and our day-to-day walk with Jesus. I was at a Leaders Advance conference at Bethel, Redding, and while Bethel Senior Pastor Bill Johnson was speaking on the kingdom, I heard the voice of the Lord in my spirit so strongly that it was almost audible. The Lord said to me, “Sean, you’ve become domesticated.”…

Social Justice ≠ God’s Justice

Social justice is not necessarily the same as biblical justice. Social justice may change as a society moves away from following God’s Word.

Fifty Years of Innovative Church Evangelism

During the 1950s, a negative dread swept over Protestant churches, many mainline denominations reported a decline in attendance, membership, and offerings.
