Today we will look at the gifts of miracles, healings, and helping. MP3 download.

Todd Bentley and Wife have Separated

Friday, August 15th, 2008 : By Dan Miller

Disclaimer: I didn’t realize that Hugh was going to blog regarding Mr. Bentley. Although I thought about not posting, I realize that we took very different angles in our approach to the subject. While Hugh’s post is much prettier than mine (oh’ he is so good!), I stayed in a Holiday Inn Express last night! (just kidding, but it’s all I got!)

If you have been hanging around Grace for the last few months, you have certainly been exposed to the teaching we have been moving through regarding developing discernment when it comes to spiritual gifting. As part of this development, we actually assigned a church-wide project using the actions of Todd Bentley and the “Lakeland …

The Breakfast of Champions - What Michael Phelps Eats!

Wednesday, August 13th, 2008 : By Dan Miller

Phelps lends a new spin to the phrase “Breakfast of Champions” by starting off his day by eating three fried-egg sandwiches loaded with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, fried onions and mayonnaise.

He follows that up with two cups of coffee, a five-egg omelet, a bowl of grits, three slices of French toast topped with powdered sugar and three chocolate-chip pancakes.

At lunch, Phelps gobbles up a pound of enriched pasta and two large ham and cheese sandwiches slathered with mayo on white bread - capping off the meal by chugging about 1,000 calories worth of energy drinks.

For dinner, Phelps really loads up on the carbs - …

Thursday, August 7th, 2008 : By Dan Miller

ABC News interviews the Chapman family regarding the recent death of their daughter, Maria, when she was hit by a car driven by her older brother. I am struck by the focus and balance the entire family has in dealing with this tragedy. May you be encouraged!

Larry King will be interviewing the family tonight on Larry King Live.

There ARE Others Like Me…

Wednesday, August 6th, 2008 : By Dan Miller

I have admitted publicly that I am drawn to watching TBN (Trinity Broadcasting Network) and now I have documentation that there are others just like me!

Check out this very funny blog that chronicles the Sunday AM lineup.

Disclaimer: Not all TBN shows are bad for you… just most of them.

Special thanks to O’Ryan for turning me on to this blog (pun intended).

J.I. Packer on Homosexuality

Sunday, July 20th, 2008 : By Dan Miller

Listen as J.I. Packer draws to a tight focus the central issue in regard to homosexuality, the Gospel itself. Dr. Packer makes a very lucid argument for why it is the very Gospel of Christ that is at stake when it comes to the issue of same-sex relationships.

ChurchWorks: How You Function, Part 6

Sunday, July 20th, 2008 : By Dan Miller

Have you ever wondered why most spiritual people would never refer to themselves as “Apostles?” How about “Prophet?” Well, both terms represent people who followed Christ and yet we don’t often use these terms. Why? Well, in our study today we will see how these terms relate to how a ChurchWorks (pun intended). MP3 download.

ChurchWorks: How You Function, Part 5

Sunday, July 13th, 2008 : By Dan Miller

How do the miracles in the Old Testament relate to the Spirit of God working in the Church today? How can we better discern the true expressions of the Spirit of God from the fake behaviors that some claim to be from the “Spirit.” Today we will continue to answer these types of questions and set the stage for our examination of the specific function of the Apostles as well as the general working of the Holy Spirit.

Did Jesus Really Tell You To Kick Her in the Face?

Saturday, July 12th, 2008 : By Dan Miller

We have been weaving our way through a teaching series called ChurchWorks . In digging through how a church functions we have been taking a look at expressions of the Spirit (a.k.a spiritual gifts). In doing research for this aspect of the teaching, I was turned onto a person claiming to be a powerful conduit of God’s Spirit. So, I thought it would be good to try and apply the teaching points we have unearthed in this study thus far (I Corinthians, Ephesians 4, etc.) directly to a Mr. Todd Bentley.

Here’s a general introduction from an Nightline special focusing on Mr. Bentley. BTW. I understand the people conducting the “investigation” are bent …
