In today’s episode, Jon and Justin have another conversation related to end-times theology. This time, the guys consider the perspective that the church is to be ushering in a golden age prior to Christ’s return--that through the faithfulness of the church, things will continue to get better and ...

Angelic visitations and visions are routinely claimed by leaders and followers in the hyper charismatic movement. These claims at times are sensational and awe inspiring to a captive audience. Some leaders in the New Apostolic Reformation rely heavily on angelic visions for guidance to the masses...

Word of Faith founder Kenneth Hagin believed he will live up to 120 years of age. His successor Kenneth Copeland believes the same way. This assumption is based on a misunderstanding of Genesis 6:3, where the Lord says, "My Spirit will not remain with man forever, because he is also flesh; nevert...

In today’s episode, Jon and Justin talk about the end times. For many in the church, the conversation about last things--and the return of Christ--has been steeped in fear. The return of the Savior is presented as a frightful thing for the believer, and this is supposed to motivate us to action. ...

Have you ever seen professing Christians lose control of their bodies and then attribute their bizarre behavior to the Holy Spirit? Many leaders in the Charismatic Movement call this the "Baptism of Fire". But when did this practice get introduced into the Church? Daniel Long tells the story of B...

Have you ever been told that questioning an apostle, prophet, or popular leader is unwelcome? Have you ever been told that by questioning a leader, you have a demonic entity in operation? Have you ever heard a false teacher provide teaching on how to discern false teaching or a particular spirit?...

In verses 11–13 of his epistle, Jude used three Old Testament examples and six stark word pictures to warn his readers about those who distort the Gospel through false teaching and ungodly living. These “certain people,” he explained, are untethered and fruitless, and their path is one of destruc...

In the second of two episodes on theonomy, Jon and Justin consider some of the practical fallout of theonomy: the gospel tends to be obscured, the mission of the church is confused, and burdens are placed on the saints that we were never meant to bear. How should we respond pastorally to these co...

What does it mean to take up your cross and follow Christ? Jim Osman and Justin Peters examine the teachings of Bethel leaders Kris Vallotton and Bill Johnson from their book "The Supernatural Ways of Royalty."

What have you been taught about tithing? The area of giving for the Christian is a debated topic for many, and it can be a source of contention and even manipulation, depending upon the teaching. Are we obligated to tithe and to expect financial abundance and protection, or is there a far greater...

If you are familiar with the Word of Faith movement, talk of prosperity and speaking things into existence is not an uncommon practice and belief. However, there are other teachings that are even more problematic, and one of the beliefs is that Jesus Christ had to be born-again in hell in order f...

In the first of two episodes on theonomy, Jon and Justin seek to generally define theonomy and then respond to it theologically. The guys consider a confessional understanding of the threefold division of the law, the distinction between moral and positive law, and 1689 Federalism as safeguards a...

The Bible doesn't just speak about culture, it starts with culture. Genesis 2 gives us the cultural mandate. We cannot separate the culture from the Bible. It is not neutral in God's world. In this episode of Wield The Sword, Voddie Baucham talks about the Biblical foundation and mandate for cult...

Missiology has been given over to sociologists and cultural anthropologists and it's no longer something the average pastor thinks he can understand. It's as if all of our theology falls apart when we go international. We are no longer qualified to go teach the Gospel to the unreached people grou...

Modern Progressive Christianity is a reiteration of early 20th century liberalism. Progressive "Christians" value questions over answers and treat doubt as virtuous. Open mindedness is their chief value and they believe the truth claims of Scripture cannot be taken literally. Daniel and Robin mak...

Another false narrative used by White Nationalists is called “The Curse of Ham”. This false doctrine inserts a racial narrative into the story of Noah that isn’t there in order to justify segregation and slavery of people with dark skin. This twisted thinking has also been used to defend the prac...

There's a man-centered “gospel” that says that Jesus died because you were so valuable. He saw the "gold" underneath your sin and was motivated by your worth or value to save you. Another way that this is said is, "The cross isn't a revelation of your sin, but a revealing of your value." Some eve...

Many contemporary Pentecostal and Charismatic scholars believe that Montanism was the first charismatic revival. But is this really the case? Did the Montanists possess the genuine gift of prophecy? Or were they inspired by ancient near eastern paganism, such as the cult of Cybele? This episode ...
