In 2008 I penned the attached article analyzing the Lakeland Revival and its leader evangelist/healer/prophet Todd Bentley. The so-called revival lasted several months and included “supernatural manifestations” and experiences. At that time many of us were hopeful that NAR/Bethel’s goose was cooked when the abusive Bentley was brought down for far worse offenses than the recent wrong doings Shawn Bolz, Todd White and several other charismatic hustlers are accused of committing.
In 2008, when news broke of Todd Bentley’s adultery, Charismatic Church leadership removed him from ministry causing the event to be abruptly shut down. Thereafter, Bentley spent a short time undergoing “restoration and repentance” under NAR leaders Rick Joyner, Bill Johnson and Ché Ahn. Knowing Bentley was convicted of sexual assault at the age of 15, knowing that during the “revival” there were creditable accusations that he was responsible for financial mismanagement, knowing about his excessive drinking…exaggerated healings…unsubstantiated claims that people were raised from the dead…and finally, knowing the adultery with a woman on his staff led to him abandoning his wife and children, the men responsible for his restoration quickly returned him to ministry. In doing so, they showed they were completely bereft of good judgement. Hebrews 5:14 reminds us “…solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil.” Continue reading
9 Wherewith shall a young man redress his way? in taking heed thereto according to thy word.
10 With my whole heart have I sought thee: let me not wander from thy commandments.
11 I have hid thy promise in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
12 Blessed art thou, O Lord: teach me thy statutes.
13 With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth.
14 I have had as great delight in the way of thy testimonies, as in all riches.
15 I will meditate in thy precepts, and consider thy ways.
16 I will delight in thy statutes, and I will not forget thy word. Psalms 119:8-16 (1599 Geneva Bible)
“Think about this… the Joint Chiefs is spying, the FBI is spying, and the CIA is embedded. And all of this is connected to a sitting US president.”
“The IOC just admitted that the women’s category is based on sex, not identity. That’s what we’ve been saying all along, and now the most powerful sports organization in the world just confirmed it.”

This very clear and firm stance against the brutal and barbaric practice of “gender-affirming care” for children won the praise of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. “We commend the American Society of Plastic Surgeons for standing up to the overmedicalization lobby and defending sound science. By taking this stand, they are helping protect future generations of American children from irreversible harm.”
“At its core, fundamentalism asserted something remarkably simple: the fundamentals of the faith matter, and Scripture—not culture—defines them. There was no political platform. No culture‑war strategy. Just the conviction that God has spoken and that His Word is not ours to revise.”

(Nate Jackson – The Patriot Post) Billionaire Jeff Bezos, owner of The Washington Post, trimmed a lot of fat at the paper yesterday, laying off a third of its staff and shuttering several departments entirely. It’s like he put the newspaper on Ozempic. Or is that Bez-Ozempic?
“Cameron’s journey from Revival’s Golden Key to “Hellgate” thus illustrates a larger pattern: seeker-sensitive culture does not stop at responding to worship style preferences — it continues its submission to fleshly preferences until it’s telling lost people the “good news” that hell isn’t as bad as the church has always taught.”
The real earthquake wasn’t just what Bolz allegedly did. It was that leaders at Bethel, including Bill Johnson and Kris Vallotton, acknowledged they knew serious issues existed and failed to communicate clearly, publicly, and promptly. Silence. Internal handling. No broad warning to the thousands who saw this man as a mouthpiece for God. Only after outside pressure and public exposure did the apologies roll out—the corporate version of “we should’ve said something sooner.”
“In my opinion, this kind of book, this approach to the faith, is horrifying, offensive, and inappropriate merchandising. (
“In response to Kirk’s rebuke of “sin sniffers” and “heresy hunters,” looking for people to attack so our “ministries don’t dry up,” it must be said that neither Protestia nor I, as its publisher, earn any profit from this work. I operate without a salary, without ad profit tied to outrage, and without financial incentive to manufacture controversy. We also publish a clear, accessible set of doctrinal and editorial standards that invite accountability. Readers are encouraged to evaluate our reporting against those standards at any time.”
“The government can only do so much to protect the rights of the citizenry. If half the country hates us and applauds these assaults on our liberties, the threat of arrest (and likely dismissal by an activist judiciary) will do little to deter the wackier elements of the fascistic left from carrying out future attacks.”
“This is HUGE. We now have validation the 4Chan post from 8/10/2019 is a legitimate eyewitness account from an MCC prison officer that Epstein may have been switched out before news broke of his alleged suicide.”
“I know a number of charismatic leaders are talking to lawyers right now trying to see if they can sue me. And we’ll see how that works out for them.”
