In 2021, Steven Furtick raised many eyebrows when he said, in a hyper-emotive rant, "I am God Almighty." People excused that as him getting tongue-tied. Fair enough. But then I found a clip from two years earlier in which he said the same thing. In 2024, he may have said the most blatantly heretical statement he has ever uttered. There is no excusing this one. ➡️ Click here to find all of Justin’s essential links.

In September of 2023, Alistair Begg advised a Christian grandmother that she should attend the wedding of her "transexual" homosexual grandson (or granddaughter - this changes with different tellings of the story) and even give a gift in honor of it. This caused an immense controversy in evangelical circles. On January 28, in an evening service sermon (linked below), Alistair addressed the controversy and defended his advice.

Deliverance ministries have made a roaring comeback. Self-described “demon slayers” maintain that born-again Christians need to have demons cast out of them regularly.

The Remnant radio channel recently released a video saying that based on Jeremiah 32:8, Jeremiah was unsure that God had spoken to him until the prophecy came to pass. In so doing, they are trying to make the case that it is perfectly fine for today’s charismatics to be unsure if God spoke to them and unsure about what He said. Is this true, or are they twisting the Bible to make room for their charismatic theology? We will discuss this in today’s podcast. Link to Fighting For The Faith ➡️ Click...
