Idolatry In Their Hearts Landmark Book! by Sandy Simpson & Mike Oppenheimer Does having eternity in your heart mean that you know God and are His child? Could Gentile cultures understand the Gospel from the stars? Did God create man's cultures?

Is there the worship of YHWH in all cultures and religions through the names of supreme beings? Have all cultures always had a way to make things right between them and God? These questions and many more are answered in this book that addresses the false teachings of The New Apostolic Reformation regarding missiological methods as being carried out by many agencies including the World Christian Gathering on Indigenous People, YWAM, and many Bible societies.Go here for ordering information.

Oprah Winfrey interviewed Shack author William Paul Young on July 9, 2017 on her Super Soul Sunday television program that was broadcast on her OWN network. Young and Oprah appeared to be like two peas in a New Age pod as they talked of child abuse, traded spiritual quips, and seemed to continually marvel at the other's brilliant insights. At one point midway in their conversation, Young answered his own rhetorical question regarding where Jesus dwells-he stated that "Jesus dwells in our hearts." His quick, authoritative response was consistent not only with Oprah's longstanding New Age beliefs but also with The Shack's "Jesus" who presented this same New Age heresy when he stated that God "dwells in, around, and through all things." This false teaching is the foundational teaching of the New Age/New Spirituality/New World Religion. The Bible is very clear that God is not "in" everyone and everything.

| David Jeremiah: "Appreciates Sarah Young and Jesus Calling" | |
by Amy Spreeman, Berean Examiner, 7/16/17
Pastor David Jeremiah recently worked with JesusCalling.com to produce a podcast titled, Keeping Hope In A Darkened World. In addition to promoting his new book, the pastor also promoted Sarah Young, the author of the Jesus Calling books, studies, devotionals, calendars, and coloring book. The transcript of the interview regarding his admiration for the multi-million dollar Jesus Calling empire is as follows: Narrator: "As a pastor and a teacher, Dr. Jeremiah advocates daily prayer and scripture reading. He appreciates how Sarah Young has helped many with their prayer lives through the words of Jesus Calling." Dr. Jeremiah: "When I read Sarah's work, it's pretty obvious to me why it's been so highly regarded and received. She makes prayer very personal. Sometimes prayer isn't personal, sometimes prayer can be very cold and empty. Maybe that's why a lot of people have a hard time sustaining any kind of a prayer ministry. What Sarah has done has made it possible for people to say, "I talked to God today...I communicated with my Father." That's what prayer is supposed to be and she has moved the ball down the field quite aggressively in that direction."

| The New Apostolic Reformation An Examination of the Five-Fold Ministries Part 1 |
by Gary Gilley, 7/17/17 
The New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) is one of the largest, broadest and most powerful movements within Christianity today, yet it flies largely under the radar. Even those involved often do not understand the movement to the extent that they may even deny they are part of it. This confusion is due to the fact that NAR does not have official membership or even leadership. Rather, NAR is a loose coalition of mostly Pentecostal and charismatic Christians, organizations and churches that are united over a particular understanding and interpretation of certain portions of Scripture. The interpretation of these New Testament texts are widely held by those connected with NAR and focus mainly on the miraculous sign gifts. Some have equated NAR with the so-called Third Wave of Pentecostalism (the first wave started with the birth of the Pentecostal movement in 1901, the second wave is identified with the charismatic movement in 1960 and the Third Wave which emphasizes power evangelism, healings and spiritual warfare led by John Wimber and the Vineyard Movement in the 1980s). Yet, while there is certainly overlap between NAR and the Third Wave, they are not identical. The universal mark of NAR is the acceptance of the "Five Fold Ministries." Most Christians believe that Ephesians 4:11 speaks of five essential ministries and offices needed for the church, those of apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor and teacher, but that two of those offices - apostles and prophets, have ceased to function for centuries. According to the NAR the Lord has restored these two ministries in order to begin the process of setting up His kingdom on earth. In conjunction with the return of apostles and prophets all the sign gifts have been reinstated as well, and are expected to be evident in the lives of most if not all Christians. There are a number of commonly held doctrines and practices within NAR, as will be demonstrated below, but the unique feature of NAR is the office of apostleship being reestablished. Pentecostals and many charismatics have long held that prophets live among us, but only recently has anyone of significance claimed the same for apostles. Before we get ahead of ourselves, however, we need to back up and take a look at the origin of NAR as well as its leadership.
