5/25/2013 – Do you truly want revival? Most say “no”. – Pastor Shane Idleman

5/4/2013 – Christian Leaders Continue To Drift From Truth – Pastor Shane Idleman
“For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear” (2 Timothy 4:3).
It’s not my practice to name names, but I was saddened (not surprised) to hear that Rob Bell, founding pastor of Mars Hill Bible Church in Grand Hill, Michigan, has come out in support of same-sex marriage during a forum on March 17, 2013 in San Francisco. Continue reading
