I decided to take a break today from discussing Todd Bentley and the “Florida Outpouring” so that I could bring you documented proof of the sort of greed for money that we encountered during our time at Living Word Church (a pseudonym).
I’ve described before, in a post entitled Asking For It, just how Pastor Smith (another pseudonym) [...]

One of our commenters posted this link to a snippet of a Todd Bentley sermon. While this clip has been making the rounds for awhile and has been discussed on other sites, I listened to it again today and had some additional thoughts about what he says.
I was going to just put those thoughts in [...]

Every once in awhile, I’ll stumble across something so good that I’ll find myself wishing I would have written it. I felt that way today, when I found a post entitled, A Challenge to the Sow-a-Seed-For-a-Specific-Need Preachers. I’d actually recommend the entire website, which is called Theology Today.
In case you’re too lazy to click on [...]

Having grown up in a pretty conservative, Bible-teaching Evangelical church, one of the values I absorbed was having respect for God’s name. At the Christian school I attended as a child, it was even frowned upon to use the exclamation of, “Oh my gosh!” So ingrained in me was this viewpoint that, although I realize that this is [...]
Re-thinking “Smoke ‘n’ Mirrors”

Ever since I put up the Smoke ‘n’ Mirrors post, I’ve been feeling bad. Publicly suggesting that Pastor Smith (a pseudonym) engineered a fake miracle so that he could kick off Living Word Church’s (another pseudonym) special week of meetings with a bang and drum up more excitement about the annual “Miracle Handkerchief And Anointing [...]

[Please read my disclaimer for the following post.]
Despite our journey through Charismania, we are not cynics. We have not lost our faith in Christ. We believe in the Bible as the Word of God, and we believe that our only hope in life and death is that Jesus saved us from our sins by dying [...]

It’s been awhile since we’ve added anything to the site. That’s because, in most respects, we feel like we’ve moved on from our experience at Living Word Church (a pseudonym). We’ve now had a year to process what we witnessed and went through, and after awhile, it’s easy to feel like we’ve figured it all out.
But the funny thing [...]
A great observation…

We’re still following the ORU story. The other day, it took an amazing and wonderful turn, when the family who owns Hobby Lobby pledged $60 million to bail out the beleaguered university. The Tulsa World did an interview with Mart Green, the family spokesman, which you can read here.

Pastor Smith and his “anointing”

One of the great mysteries we still wonder about is just how much Pastor Smith realizes and understands about the stuff that goes on at Living Word Church (once again, our usual disclaimer: “Pastor Smith” and “Living Word Church” are both pseudonyms, as are all other names used on this site).
Awhile back, we posted an entry about [...]

Here is Part 2 of our analysis of Pastor Smith’s (“Pastor Smith” is a pseudonym for our former pastor) sermon on “The Anointing.” If you haven’t already done so, please take the time to read either the sermon transcript, or Part 1 of our analysis, or both. We realize that they’re lengthy. The sermon transcript alone [...]
