Featured Discernment Ministry Lighthouse Trails Publishing OUR MOTTOS "Bringing light to areas of darkness" and "A light shining in the darkness" WHAT IS OUR MOTIVE? That is really very simple: The Gospel of Jesus Christ. Because we believe that this Gospel - that Jesus died on the Cross to pay the penalty for man's sins and that He arose on the 3rd day and has offered salvation freely to whosoever will come to Him - is the only means of eternal salvation for any person, our motive is to contend for that faith so that others may hear that Gospel and believe on it.

by Kevin Reeves, 3/18/15 Some may think it is extreme to compare the spiritual deception and control tactics within the church today to that of the Nazi regime and the death camps, but we should remember that the church in Germany in the 1930s was very much like the church is today-having a head in the sand mentality about spiritual deception and turning religious leaders into super-human heroes who can do no wrong. Perhaps we are not all that different than Christians in Germany back then. We should not fool ourselves and think we would never be duped like that. Click here to read this article!

The Circle Maker
|
by Mark Batterson Reviewed by Gary Gilley Batterson is clearly misguided in The Circle Maker yet he is endorsed by John Ortberg and Rich Wilkenson (Peacemakers founder) and is friends with Louie Giglio and Andy Stanley (p. 36). The Circle Maker is not a stand-alone book; it has generated an industry including a video series as well as student editions, prayer journals and more. No true Christian wants to minimize the power of prayer, which is perhaps the central theme of this book. But it must be prayer as taught in Scripture not based on myth and/or invented by people.

Beyond Seduction - Does a Positive Self-Image Make You a Better Person?
| by Dave Hunt & T.A. McMahon
Our topic for discussion in this segment of our program is, and has been for the last few weeks, what the Bible has to say about self in contrast to teachings about self promoted in the world, and, to a large degree, in professing Christianity. Self is the solution to all humanity's problems according to the so-called wisdom of psychology. It is the key to fulfilling human potential - that without a good self-image or loving one's self adequately, humans will never improve their status or situation in life. On the other hand, the Bible says that self is mankind's problem, and gives a prophetic warning about it in 2 Timothy:3:1This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.,2: "This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves...." That says it pretty clearly, doesn't it, Dave? I think anybody could look around and see that's where we are today. Dave: On the other hand, Tom, a person could say, "Well, haven't human beings always been narcissistic lovers of self?" So, yes, that is true, but today it's gone beyond that. It's no longer looked upon as wrong, but it's a virtue.

When God gives a vision it is connected to what he is or is going to do among his people, and it is to prophesy. It's not like a psychic vision of disaster or of the future that has nothing to do with Israel, the church. William Branham said he experienced a series of 7 visions in 1933; this was the fourth one in the series. "The Lord Jesus spoke to me and said that the coming of the Lord was drawing nigh, but that before He came, seven major events would transpire. I wrote them all down and that morning I gave forth the revelation of the Lord." One Sunday morning about seven o'clock it happened. And It said, "Then there would come to pass that they'd invent a car that they didn't need a steering wheel in it; it'd be controlled by some kind of a power." They got it now. They got it now, a magnetic power, radar control. They don't even... Just set your radar to where you're going, it takes you yourself; you don't have to steer it. (Ephesian Church age Jefferson Indiana 131 - 183, 60 - 1205) Branham had received a message but from whom is the question? This was not a vision form the Lord because of how vague it is, besides its inaccuracy. Not to mention this was encased with 6 other visions Branham had. Seven Major events were revealed to him in a vision before he was to preach in a Masonic hall. What was he doing in a Masonic Hall is a good question to ask, as Masons hold Christ in disrepute.
