What happens when prophets are wrong?
In 2020, many Christians claiming to be prophets said that God told them that Donald Trump would be re-elected as president, which did not happen. What happens when prophets get it wrong? Are there consequences for misleading God's people?
In recent years, gross misjudgments among Charismatic Christians claiming to speak for God and moral failures within Evangelicalism have resulted in a crisis of belief. In Prophetic Integrity, bestselling author and speaker, R.T. Kendall gives a warning to those speaking in God's name and offers a way forward in trusting God despite the failures of the church.
Includes:
- Personal accounts of visions and supernatural experiences
- Good, bad, and ugly examples of modern-day prophecy
- Seven levels of prophetic gifting
- Examples of false teachings within open theism
- Relevant Bible verses and meaningful quotes
- Thought-provoking questions
- A call for honesty, vulnerability, and repentance
Prophetic Integrity is a book for those who believe that God still speaks today but have serious questions about those within the church that identify as prophets.
What if sex, gender, and sexuality were designed to tell a much greater story than we could ever imagine? What if we had a part to play in that story? With gentle compassion and steadfast truth, Ryan Andrew Smith explores what the Bible says about sex, gender, marriage, and sexuality in a way that will appeal to Christians and non-Christians alike. A great resource for individuals, groups, and churches, Trust the Circle also presents ways that Christians can engage our sexually evolving culture with grace, love, and truth. Regardless of your views regarding sex and sexuality, you will find this resource helpful in understanding what the Bible says about these important and timely topics.
As Dr. Wenham states early in his introduction, "The story of
Jesus' resurrection is told by five different writers, whose
accounts differ from each other to an astonishing degree." Wenham
begins by setting the scene of Jerusalem and its environs, going on
to describe the main actors in the events with particular attention
to Mary Magdalene and the five writers themselves, and then
examining in detail all the biblical narratives from Good Friday
through Easter Day to the Ascension. He concludes that the various
accounts as they stand can be satisfactorily reconciled to provide
a trustworthy record for the church. Valuable appendices elucidate
Wenham's response to the technicalities of gospel criticism.
