J. Lee Grady Stepped Down from Charisma
To critics that ragged Grady for continuing his employment years after beginning the exposing and asking the hard questions?
Can you cheer now since in your mindset, Grady has now ‘crossed the (your) line’ from being a ‘hypocrite’ to ’seeing the light’?

Is J. Lee Grady really a Voice of Sanity?
I reckon he is. In all fairness, J. Lee has been coming around to the light for sometime now, especially since the fall of Todd Bentley.

Patricia King: We’ve Got Your Children
No, I reckon I don’t mind children experiencing God, but this takes the cake:

Can Liturgical Worship Parallel Spiritual Worship?
The new NLT Mosaic is centered on the use of the Mosaic material, which is designed to work with the Church’s calender in a liturgical manner. Coming from a Baptist, Fundamentalist, Pentecostal-like background, I was taught of the vileness of the ritualistic Catholics. To have an agenda was paramount to worshiping the Pope. (No, I am not kidding) But, does Liturgy really fall into a ritual category? (Keep in mind, anything can be made a ritual if you work hard enough at it.)

Are Paula White and Creflo Dollar still Pentecostals?
In this chronicle of mutations within the Pentecostal movement, we learn to distinguish among the Prosperity Gospel, Word of Faith, and New Apostolic Movements — and we learn why it matters.
One of the worse ‘mutations’ of Pentecostalism is the Prosperity Gospel -

Getting Back to ‘Classic’ Christianity
J. Lee Grady recently posted something that struck me as odd coming from the man who constantly seeks new things, new movements. Maybe something is going on with him?
When I read their words I feel much the same way I did after hearing my grandparents’ voices on that old tape. I feel as if I am tapping into a realm of spirituality that is on the verge of extinction.

Paula White, the New Old Pastor of WOW (sans Bishop Randy) has a Word for you
eBlast – July 14, 2009 – Pastor Paula White from Without Walls Int’l Church on Vimeo.
Not to pick on the WOW Pastor, but isn’t that video a little, oh, general? What if, say, Bin Laden was watching it? Do you really think God wants to see him increased? Maybe she should be more selective with who she ‘increases.’

The Soon Coming of the Dominionists – Quantum Physics and Militancy
With the seemingly quick fall of the the soon to be former Alaska Governor, I have retaken an interest in Dominionism. It started with exploring the underpinnings of Todd Bentley, his connection with others, and finally, with full blown Dominionism. Domionism is simple – they believe that they must take over seven mountains of culture, all cultures, including government (No, seriously, they are public about this stuff – nothing tinfoil about it), including our government. During the campaign, they were campaigning (prophesying) hard that Sarah Palin would be in the White House come January. Well, they were slightly off.

Two Articles on the Thriving Prosperity Gospel
First, from here:
Given that so many powerful Pentecostals and Charismatics, like Senator John Ensign and Sarah Palin, are embroiled in high profile scandals, one might expect to hear more about the movements that unite them. Anthea Butler, a leading scholar on Pentecostalism and American religious history, traces the various movements and their theologies of wealth, healing and dominion.
And then, from here:
I was reading this piece in Slate asking how the Prosperity Gospel — the idea that God wants you to get rich, if you want to — is faring in hard times, and thinking, “This is really good and well-informed; wonder who wrote it?” Turns out it’s my friend and former Dallas Morning News intern Clint Rainey. Check it out. Excerpt:
The Prosperity Gospel is not my theology, nor will you see me step foot inside the door at a megachurch which teaches such things – but what really bothers me are those people which are taken advantage of. That is why I continue to post of this stuff.
