Doctrine of Devils
Sep 09
In chapter one of his first epistle to Timothy, Paul warned about false teachers and heresies in the church of his day, evidently particularly implicating the agnostics and their false skepticism and deviant moral standards. In our text for today and throughout chapter four, he warns of false teachers “in the later times,” i.e., in our day and in our churches.

Lakeland Deception, False Fires and Todd Bentley
Feb 09
After a major scandal and dwindling crowds, the Lakeland Outpouring concluded. The Lakeland Outpouring’s final meeting was held at Ignited Church - six months after Canadian evangelist Todd Bentley launched daily meetings in the small Lakeland, Florida, community and left without warning Aug. 11 in a cloud of scandal. “None of us knew how long this would last,” said Ignited Church senior pastor Stephen Strader, who announced on a blog Oct. 2 that, with the outpouring ending, he intends to set up a global apostolic base in Lakeland. “Ignited Church has had a vision [for] an International Apostolic Center. The Lakeland Outpouring has catapulted our vision forward.” Strader said with the support of “dozens of major leaders” for his apostolic center, he envisions a place for hosting conferences, special events and training workshops. He also announced the creation of Ignited Network of Ministries (INM), an initiative to connect Ignited Church with Lakeland-spawned revivals worldwide.
