Exposing the destructive heresies of the New Apostolic Reformation Movement: Part 1

      It just dawned on me this afternoon that many who might stumble upon my blog haven't the faintest idea who or what the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) is, so I'm going to provide a crash course on this movement. By the way, today it is a universal movement endorsed by hundreds of the most egregious false teachers and false prophets of our time. I will later name names.     The seeds of this movement were sown in 1996 when the late heretic, Dr. C. Peter Wagner, former professor of church growth at Fuller Seminary, Pasadena, Ca., claimed to have heard from God, literally, about restoring the offices of apostle and prophet which had been lost to the church for two millennia. Go figure. How on earth did the church ever survive? Apparently, God had been sitting on His anthropomorphic hands waiting on Dr. Wagner to set things right. Dr. Wagner would later write that this restoration began around 2001. *See his books "Churchquake" and "Apostles Today." Or not

While the Church Slept.

      Jude lays it out simply, "certain people have crept in unnoticed." I call these certain people the "creeps."  3 Beloved, although I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I found it necessary to write appealing to you to contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints.  4 For certain people have crept in unnoticed who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into sensuality and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.  (Jude 1:3-4 ESV) What a better time to creep in, while the church slept (my words, not Jude's).      This brings to mind the Tet Offensive of '68 when communist forces who had stealthily moved into towns and villages in South Vietnam over a period of months, waited patiently for the signal from Hanoi to begin their attack. And around midnight on February 1, 1968, the signal was given. Just after midnight the attacks began, from the DMZ to

My sins I hate; God's grace I love

      Someone said, I believe it was Sproul, that the closer we draw to God, the more sinful we see ourselves. It is true. It makes sense, doesn't it? God is holy and perfect, we are not. We are holy and righteous in that we have the imputed righteousness of Christ, i.e., God has written down on our heavenly account, so to speak, that we are right with Him through faith in His Son. Imputed righteousness is as good as literally being righteous in the eyes of our heavenly Father. I'll take it. His righteousness has become our righteousness.     I sin, you sin, all God's children sin. Proverbs 7:20 says, " There is not a righteous man on earth who does good and never sins." Romans 7:24-8:4 makes it plain that though we continue to sin, the finished work of Christ has made us righteous. We are not under law but under grace. And while in my flesh there dwells nothing good, in my inner man I am alive, born of the Spirit, and that which is born of God cannot sin.   No o
