Dominionism! 
by Dr. Orrel Steinkamp & Sandy Simpson 
The title and cover art of this work are a play off of the book by C. Peter Wagner entitled ""Dominion! How Kingdom Action Can Change The World".  In contrast to this specious claim we have titled this book "Dominionism! How Unbiblical Action Can Change The Churches".  We think that is far more in keeping with what we will present in this series of articles and essays on the subject of Kingdom Now/Dominionism.
Indeed, many churches have already been changed by accepting the false teachings that constitute Dominionism.  This started decades ago under Reformed Reconstrucionism and Latter Rain theology, but even before that in the Roman Catholic Church (RCC).  The attempt of Constantine to protect Christians from being persecuted, since he claimed he had become one of them, turned out to begin a journey in syncretism and Dominion.  It wasn't long before corrupt church officials began to try to seize power all over Europe and beyond as the "Holy Roman Empire".  The Reformation itself was a reaction to the lengths to which the RCC had gone to take control over the Scriptures, the nations, the kingdoms, and the people for financial gain.  They sold indulgences, promising those who came up with enough money a much shorter time in Purgatory.  Those same ploys are being used today on what has been loosely called "Christian television" by the sale of trinkets and promises of healing, financial gain and even salvation.
These ideas all coalesce in Dominionism.  If it were true that the Church needs to take over the planet, then we would be seeing the unstoppable plans of God's physical Kingdom unfolding.  But we do not.  All we see are failed prophecies, empty edicts and declarations coming from false apostles and false prophets.  They love to fool Christians with talk of the "kingdom" when it is clear they are talking about a different "kingdom"; a Kingdom Now not a Kingdom come.  Jesus taught us to pray: "Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven".  The implication is that we are to be about building His spiritual Kingdom while praying for and expecting His physical Kingdom to come.  The only way we can do that is to continue in the Great Commission till He comes, not attempt to rule where God has not given the Church the authority to rule.  Jesus will do that when He returns.  If we go off on the tangent the Dominionists want us to go, we will not only miss out on the blessings of His Kingdom to come, but may well be deserving of judgment.
This book is online and available as a download at this time for $15.  The printed version will be available in about a month and will be $20. each.

Defining Deception, Freeing the Church from the Mystical-Miracle Movement
by Costi W. Hinn and Anthony G. Wood
Reviewed by Gary Gilley 

Costi Hinn is the executive pastor and Anthony Wood the teaching pastor at Mission Bible Church in Orange County, California.  These men are uniquely equipped through study and experience (Hinn is a nephew of Benny Hinn and formerly deeply involved in Benny's ministry) to expose the false teachings of the radical edge of the charismatic movement.   While the authors give helpful background, historical and doctrinal information about the Pentecostal/Charismatic/Third Wave Movement, they are primarily focused on the so-called Fourth Wave (see pp. vii, 55) of Pentecostalism: the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) and Bethel Church in Redding, California.  Since much less is understood by most about this Fourth Wave, Defining Deception is a welcome and helpful effort.

"Former Saddleback Youth Pastor Sentenced In Child Molestation"
by Lighthouse Trails, 9/6/18

Lighthouse Trails reported on this story in 2017 in an article titled "Saddleback Church Statement Appears to Downplay Role of Alleged Molester Ruben Meulenberg." Our article challenged Saddleback for calling Ruben (aka: Ruven) Meulenberg a "volunteer" at Saddleback, when in fact, Meulenberg had a significant role at Saddleback as both a youth worker and media/communications worker. Meulenberg was arrested for sexual molestation, and this summer was found guilty. In August, he was sentenced to 12 years in prison for his crimes against young boys at Saddleback.

Those Who Are Spiritually Deceived Are No Longer Able to Think for Themselves
by Kevin Reeves, 9/7/18

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. The apostle Paul issued a warning to Christians: Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come. Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. (I Cor. 10:11,12) Despite all of this, there is hope in the Lord; He is "Faithful and True" (Rev. 19:11). And He promised to preserve His church, that true body of believers whom He calls the Bride of Christ. Praise His name-there is hope. When truth is challenged, mocked, and thrown against the wind, we can be sure, it will never be altered. And that Word is a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path. The Lord is calling His people out from the midst of the false, to adhere to His truth, no matter what the cost. Let us respond with joy and thankfulness, knowing His grace is sufficient to strengthen us and give us courage. Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach. For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come. (Hebrews 13:13-14)
