It has been said that all of us are theologians. We all have a picture of God in our heads. But is your picture of God correct? Keep listening to find out. Hi, my name is Terence and I'm your host for Reading and Readers, a podcast where I review Christian books for you. Today I review “Portrait of God: Rediscovering the Attributes of God through the Stories of His People” by Jack Mooring. 224 pages, published by David C. Cook Publishing in August 2024. Available in Amazon Kindle for USD9.99 and in Logos for USD10.79. I received a free review copy but the publisher has no input to my review. ## Systematic Theology Through BiographyToday's book promises to explain the Attributes of God through the lives of Christians. But wait, someone says, “If you really want to know the Attributes of God, you should get a good book on Systematic Theology. The bigger the better.” So grunts the theological egghead. Nope. If the size doesn't scare people off, the title “Systematic Theology” would. Then someone says, “Just get J.I. Packer's ‘Knowing God'.” That's a great book. A classic. But today's book gives us a different way to know God's attributes and that is through stories. Bible stories have helped children know God. Much of the Bible consists of stories of God and His People. So we could say that today's book is not inventing a new approach but rather adapts the biblical way of knowing God: through the stories of him interacting with his people. ## Art Class with a Divine SubjectIn this book, Jack Mooring wants us to paint a portrait of God. If this sounds a bit artsy-fartsy to you, maybe it's because Mooring was an artist. More, accurately, a musician. If his name sounds familiar, it's because he is the former band member with the Grammy Award-nominated group Leeland. Mooring is also the founding pastor of a church, Celebration of Life Church in Nashville. So he is not the typical professional theologian who writes a book on the attributes of God. He is just a passionate Christian who wants everyone to know God. And he takes hold of artistic license to separate himself from the professional theologians. We will do a portrait of God. Using the lives of God's people as the brushstrokes. ## A Brushstroke of JoyConsider this: Whose life do you think best reveals God's joy? Think of all the great men and women who have served God through the ages. Who would best demonstrate the joy of the Lord? Mooring chooses C.S. Lewis. The chapter starts with Lewis as a young man arriving at Oxford University. But then, the Great War happened. I quote:> The war was a brief but horrific interlude in his life. He saw unbearable things. His closest friend in his company was killed. While raised in a Christian home in Ireland, he'd been brought up on the teachings of the church, but early on he had decided God couldn't be real. His mother had died when he was only nine years old. He remembered praying that God would save her life, but his desperate request seemed to have fallen on deaf ears.>> His childhood angst at God had turned into full-blown atheism as a young man. And if his journey away from God needed any more help, his traumatic experiences in the war had seared his mind. Later, Mooring writes:> There were cracks in Lewis's armor. For all his resistance against God, he had a weak spot for joy. Deep joy. The joy that aches in your belly when you see something truly beautiful. You reach for it but can't grasp it. You try to recreate the same feeling the next day, only to find it missing. This haunted Lewis.>> He began to do what he always did to find answers: He read books and talked deeply with his friends. Famously, one of his friends was J.R.R. Tolkien. Tolkien and others encouraged Lewis in his search for answers. I quote:> Lewis raised a challenge to his friends: “What separates Christianity from any other myth? After all, there are other stories about a god ‘saving' his people.”>> His friends responded with an idea that changed his life. “Yes, Christianity is a myth,” they said. “But it is the only true myth.”>> Suddenly, he realized that the Norse mythology he loved was never the real source of the joy he felt. It was God. Every good and beautiful myth was simply pointing to the one true “myth”. The chapter interleaves episodes of Lewis' life with Mooring's own comments and reflections. A YouTube video about a ten-million-dollar mountain chalet sends Mooring through a whirlwind of emotions from curiosity, awe, desire and lust, to disappointment, jealousy, embarrassment and resignation. Everybody who has watched an influencer boasting of cars, food or travel knows what Mooring felt. Mooring shows us YouTube-addicts that our desire is a reminder that God is our true desire. Just like C.S. Lewis, we are searching for the real source of joy: God. And that's how every chapter goes. He shares a story then a reflection to bridge the story to you, the reader today. On top of that, every chapter in the book ends with “Final Brushstrokes”. Let me quote: > C.S. Lewis's life teaches us that the greatest joys in life are simply signposts pointing us to the ultimate joy that is God. And that when we find Him, we find peace even in deep pain and suffering.> > So our portrait of God gets another color: the vibrant hues of joy! We learn that God is not on a mission to stop people from having fun. Actually, the fun begins with Him. We think that worldly pleasures will fulfill us, but they let us down every time. God Himself is the author of everything good, true, and beautiful! And when we find Him, we can truly enjoy the world He made and find an unfading joy that comes from His nature. I repeat, “the story of C.S. Lewis gives our portrait of God another colour, the vibrant hues of joy.” And so every story in this book gives another brushstroke, giving us a better, more complete look of God each time. Or does it? The thing about brushstrokes is that it can either reveal or distort the subject it portrays. ## God Still Heals TodayChapter 5 is titled, “The Healer” -- God of Power. It is the story of Kathryn Kuhlman. I quote:> I chose the story of Kathryn Kuhlman because her life is an irrefutable example that God heals today. He can even work through people who, like her, were imperfect and in need of God's grace. Because those are, in fact, the only people He can use. And Mooring needs an irrefutable example because some people do refute it. Those pesky cessationist who believe the spiritual gifts have ceased. Mooring writes:> I believe this [cessationism] is one of the most damaging ideas the church has ever adopted. It has caused so many to miss out on one of the things Jesus died to give them.> I don't have the space in this chapter to make a complete argument refuting cessationism. I point to you to Jack Deere's superb book Surprised by the Power of the Spirit. He is right. He doesn't have the space to make that argument but he goes for it anyways. Let me summarise the three problems I see with this chapter. ### Healing and Gift of Healing Are DifferentFirst, Mooring assumes that cessationists do not believe God heals today. In the conclusion to the chapter, he writes:> People like Kathryn Kuhlman showed the world that God is still active in healing the sick. There is a problem here because cessationists also believe God is still active in healing the sick. John MacArthur, the poster child for cessationists, writes in his book Strange Fire:> While the Lord still answers prayer and works in providential ways to heal people according to his will, there is no evidence that miraculous healings are occurring today as they did during the apostolic age. Mooring should have written, “People like Kathryn Kuhlman showed the world that God is still active in *giving individuals healing power today*.” When Mooring conflates “God heals today” with “God gives individuals healing power today”, as if one means the same as the other, it causes misunderstandings. Readers walk away thinking, "Those Reformed fellows don't believe God heals! And they call themselves Bible believing Christians?" Now that I have clarified the cessationist position, does Mooring's point on healing still stand? The purpose of the chapter is to highlight the Power of God. I ask: "Is the Power of God only demonstrated through healing rallies?" No. Would the Power of God also be demonstrated if I prayed for someone, and that someone got healed? Yes. Should the church teach Christians that God heals today? Yes.That is what Mooring is getting at. But he could have made that point more powerfully, getting more agreement if he told the readers about God's power through healing instead of God's power in giving some individuals the power of healing. ### Character of the Healer and the Healed.My second criticism: Mooring makes a big push for healing but over-promises the impact. He writes:> Praying for the sick is an act of divine love, and love never fails! So no matter what happens, the compassionate act of believing for someone's healing is itself a success.> What if we lived this way? Thought this way? A dying world would be shocked back to a God reality that has been gone for decades. We would see millions saved! Millions coming into direct contact with the God who loves them and sent His only Son for them! Would we really see millions saved? Jesus healed ten lepers, only one came back to give thanks to Jesus. In Matthew 11:21, Jesus says, "“Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes." In Matthew 12:39, Jesus answered those seeking a sign from him, “An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah." So if Jesus Christ, the Son of God, had a 'bad' conversion rate from healing, I'm not confident that all those who were healed by Kathryn Kuhlman and her fellow healers came to saving faith. You say, "Even if it's 10%, that's still a good reason to promote healing rallies." But Jesus rejected those who called for signs. Isn't that a clear sign for us on the place of miracles today? Consider this: when Paul wrote his final letter to Timothy, he charged Timothy to do many miracles, teach other faithful men how to receive the gifts and how to promote these gifts so that people will come to Jesus through healing and miracles. No, Paul did not. This is what Paul wrote. 2 Timothy 2:2.> and what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also. Keeping the main thing the main thing is to keep the Gospel central. In the climax of the letter. 2 Timothy 4:1-2.> I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom: Preach the Word... From my criticisms on this chapter, you would think that I am a cessationist. Actually I am not. From my own study, I don't see a biblical reason to conclude that the gifts have ceased. I have no problems with the spiritual gifts being in operation today. So I am sympathetic to his position. I just disagree with how he frames it, which brings me to my last point on this chapter. ### Bill Johnson and Not Sam StormsMy third criticism: Mooring lost me at Bill Johnson. He would have had me if he said Sam Storm. I have read Bill Johnson's “When Heaven Invades Earth” and am familiar with the practices of his church, Bethel Redding. I compared Johnson's own words and his church's practice against Scripture, and I conclude that Bill Johnson distorts Scripture to fit his theology and practice. So when I read a quote from Bill Johnson, all the alarm bells in my head just rang out. Mooring might protest and say that in the whole book, he just makes one mention of Bill Johnson. It's just a side remark, a throwaway quote, and it shouldn't put the whole chapter into doubt. Well, if he is frustrated so am I. I share many of his positions and outlook on healing and gifts of healing. He could have elevated his argument by quoting Sam Storm. Or Craig Keener. But not Bill Johnson. I don't like it when someone twists Scripture for their own ends. ## Other BrushstrokesLet's step out of this healing chapter and consider the rest of the book. So far, we have a story of C.S. Lewis and Kathryn Kuhlman. Their lives are brushstrokes that describe God's joy and power. There are others: Augustine, William and Catherine Booth, Thomas Chalmers, Fanny Crosby and Athanasius that in their lives describe God's holiness, compassion, good news, faithfulness and truth. The last two chapters of the book bring out the story of you. Who are you? How do you relate to God? In his conclusion, Mooring writes that we are:> to use our gifts to ‘paint God' for a world that is desperate to know what He is really like. ## Overall ThoughtsAnd yes, the world is desperate to know what God is really like. Does this book tell us? The book aims to tell us the attributes of God through the stories of his people. In that sense, it is a success. Mooring has picked, for the most part, individuals that Christians would agree are exemplary. And in whose lives we can see a portrait of God. But after finishing this book, it has also made me realise the big flaw in using other believers' stories to know God. Let's imagine an evil version of Jack Mooring, who also wants to tell the attributes of God through God's people. But instead of choosing a blind hymnwriter, he picks a pastor convicted for sexual assault. He picks murderous crusaders, child molesters, embezzlers, a villains gallery of self-professing Christians. Then this evil version of Jack Mooring concludes the book to say, “These are Christians, and so God.” Christians will rightly argue that those crooks pervert the true portrait of God. As God himself has put it, “My name is blasphemed among the nations because of evil doers.” When we pick individuals that best fits our idea of God, our choice reveals more about what we think God is like and not necessarily how God is really like. We could have a situation where we are supposed to have a painting of the Mona Lisa but instead get a Lisa Simpson. “Does that mean reading biographies of Christian men and women is a useless enterprise?” No! The reading principle behind that is Paul's call, “Follow me as I follow Christ.” We follow Paul knowing that he is the imperfect following the perfect. So we read the biographies to know imperfect creatures. But when it comes to knowing the Perfect Creator, the attributes of God, we risk adopting the principle behind Philip's request, “Jesus, show us the Father,” which Jesus replied, “When you see me, you see the Father.” This is something that only Jesus can say. When you see me, Terence, you don't see the Father. You think that's obvious? It should be. But if it was then why do so many people lose faith in God when the people they admire fall from grace. I don't want you to misunderstand me. I am not knocking on Jack Mooring's book. I just want to point out how reading Mooring's book reminded me again how wonderful is our Bible. We can actually know God because the Perfect has revealed himself to us. To know the attributes of God, to know God, absent the Bible is a speculative and confusing mess. But with the Bible, we can know God and know how well his people reflect who he is. ## Would I recommend it?Would I recommend this book? For Christians who like Bill Johnson and the type of Christianity he represents, they would not give someone like me a chance to question their beliefs. For them I would definitely recommend this book. Mooring's chapter on Kathryn Kuhlman will affirm everything they believe in. They will consider Mooring as "one of us.” Then two chapters later, they will read Fanny Crosby, the blind hymnwriter, and read:> It is far easier to say that God doesn't heal anymore. It is also easy to say the opposite, that God always heals and that something is wrong with you if you are still sick. The truth is that both statements are wrong.>> God does still heal, and we should actively pursue His healing. But God also sits with us in our suffering and promises to be our reward, even when it seems like our prayers are not being answered. If you are a Christian who does not know Bill Johnson and the type of Christianity he represents, I would still be happy to recommend you this book. It is a light and easy way to learn about the attributes of God and introduce you to good books down the road. But I would warn you. I would tell you the three points I have against chapter 5. ## ConclusionSo in conclusion, does the book give us a portrait of God through the stories of his people? Yes. It is a portrait of God from a selected palette of colours that reveals Jack Mooring's concept of God, which would be recognisable as the God Christians worship. I think that when it comes to the details, for certain brushstrokes, some correction is needed. But that's art. And we all have an imperfect portrait of God in our heads. The important thing is as we study the Bible, we trust that God will reveal more of who he is. And just as looking at beautiful portraits inspire artists to paint better, so pondering at the portrait of God Mooring has given us inspires us to know God better and to live better for him.

Stephanie here! I have often found that, when I'm discouraged, or when I struggle to see things from the perspective that God might have on a situation, a relationship, maybe my own heart, I find it so useful to dig into Scripture and look at the stories of people in Scripture who may have experienced something similar. I also find that, beyond Scripture, it is useful to look at the lives of faithful men and women in history, saints who have really clung to God, and who have experienced so much of his goodness, his holiness, his beauty, his faithfulness, his kindness, his generosity. I love to spend time through biographies of these people of faith. I'm looking forward to meeting them in heaven and learning from them even more. Which means, I love when a new book comes out that invites me to do just that. And the book Portrait of God by Jack Mooring does just that. I'm welcoming Jack today. And he experienced the same thing that I'm describing to you. His book is a bit of a guidebook. It uses the stories of influential Christian figures like C.S. Lewis, Saint Augustine, Fanny Crosby, and so many more, to help us, believers, find stability in our faith amidst the chaos of this world. He and I chat about the fact that this world is pretty chaotic right now. This book and this conversation hope to be one of the tools that equips us in this ever-changing turbulent world we live in. Now, to recognize God's goodness in the midst of chaos, well, I know it can be challenging. Our faith can so often seem like a roller coaster as a result of that. Jack says, “I've learned that the Christian life is less about learning and more about remembering. I wrote this book to remind myself and the rest of us, forgetful people, that this is God whom we love and he really is who he says he is.” MORE ABOUT THE BOOK “PORTRAIT OF GOD In an ever-changing, often turbulent world, recognizing God's goodness can be challenging. Many Christians describe their faith as a rollercoaster, with seasons of feeling close to God and having a clear sense of His presence, and others where He seems distant. Author Jack Mooring experienced this personally, and by reflecting on and learning from the lives of the faithful men and women in history, he uncovered powerful reminders of God's unchanging truths. Mooring's new book, Portrait of God: Rediscovering the Attributes of God through the Stories of His People (David C Cook, August 6, 2024) serves as a guidebook, using the stories of influential Christian figures like C.S. Lewis and St. Augustine to help modern-day believers find stability in their faith amidst the chaos of the world. In Portrait of God, Mooring provides thought-provoking questions and a list of further readings about each faith leader, allowing readers to dig even deeper into the truths about the unchanging character of God. “I've learned that the Christian life is less about learning and more about remembering,” writes Mooring. “I grew up in a rich tradition of truth, but life's lies have often buried those true ideas about God. So I wrote this book to remind myself and the rest of us forgetful people that this God we love is really who He says He is. This book is an attempt to rediscover our wonder about who He is. For each attribute of God, I chose a person in church history who actually experienced that part of God's nature. The goal is that, as we hear the stories of these people, we can get a glimpse of God through their eyes.” Each chapter explores an attribute of God through a person in church history who radically experienced His nature, applying it as a brushstroke to our portrait. Readers will uncover: ● Faith: How an all-powerful God worked miracles in the life of Kathryn Kuhlman. ● Holiness: What Augustine of Hippo's life in a secular world teaches us about God. ● Compassion: How William and Catherine Booth's service to others radiated God's love.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Friday morning, the 28th of July, 2023, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in Proverbs 28:14, which says: 'Happy is the man who is always reverent,…" "…always pursue what is good both for yourselves and for all." 1 Thessalonians 5:15Unseen kindness, doing things that you don't necessarily get a reward for - that is what God is looking for. He is looking for servants' hearts. Serving God and our fellowman brings such joy into people's lives and our own lives. I remember hearing about Kathryn Kuhlman, the woman God used with a tremendous healing ministry, saying, "If you feel sick, go and find somebody who is sicker than you, pray for them, and you won't feel so sick after that." Like the good farmer, keep sowing good seed, and eventually, you shall reap a good crop if you keep on persevering. We know that scripture so well that compliments that statement, and that is found in Galatians 6:9: "And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart." Acts of unseen kindness are what God is requiring from you and me today in this sad world which seems to be so self-centred. I heard a beautiful story once about an old gentleman who used to carry an oil can in his pick-up, whenever he came to a farm gate, and it was squeaking when he opened the gate, he would take out his oil can and oil the hinges. Nobody saw him, not even the farmer, but he did it because he felt it was a good thing to do. Do you know what joy it brings into your heart when you do something and know that it will benefit somebody else, especially when nobody knows that you are doing it? Even now, as I am sharing this story with you, it brings back memories of when I was a little boy, maybe 7 or 8 years old. My little brother would have been 6 years old, and we used to walk to school every morning with our satchels on our backs, and it was a fair walk. There was an old man who used to come with his old pick-up, I will never forget it, and he would stop and give us a lift to school. When I got into that pick-up, I could smell the smoke of his pipe. He used to smoke a pipe, and he would greet us. He was a sunburnt man, he worked outdoors, and he would take us all the way to school. I have never forgotten that.Today, be zealous for Jesus and do somebody some good without them even knowing it, and you will see how happy your heart will be. Have a wonderful day,Jesus bless you and goodbye.
The NAR/WOF trace their roots to three particular historical heroes or “generals” of the faith: Kathryn Kuhlman (faith healer), Oral Roberts (prosperity preacher), and Kenneth Hagin (crazy word of faith). This session is an overview of each of these historical figures and their contribution to the prosperity gospel/word of faith movement. ★ Support this podcast ★
In this episode we sink once again into the disgusting cesspool of corruption and abuse that is Prosperity Gospel. Our conduit into the effluent pipe straight to hell this time is the perpetually persistently pernicious perfidious perennial perpetrator and peddler of pestiferous peccadilloes on a path to perdition, Benny Hinn. Unlike all the other pieces of poo, I mean Prosperity Preacher's we've highlighted in the past, Benny is not your typical southern born Baptist raised narcissist with no conscience. He's an Israeli born Eastern Orthodox raised narcissist with no conscience.This episode will also feature guest appearances from faith healer Kathryn Kuhlman, kidnap faking evangelical preacher Aimee Semple McPherson, James Brown, Lady Ga Ga, Donald Trump and Fidel Castro.

As a special bonus, Chris Busch shares some miracle testimonies from the life of Kathryn Kuhlman and insights from the ministry of Oral Roberts.
Women of Substance with Dr. Scarlett Horton Episode 45 - Dr. Scarlett Horton interviews Walli Daniel __________ Walli met the Lord at the age of 15 and has been in love with Him ever since. Growing up in a musical family, she began singing at an early age using vocal music to serve the Lord. He used her gift to direct Walli's path, creating divine appointments to those who would influence her life, train her for ministry, even direct her to her husband, Bob. Walli's walk of faith has opened many doors, including singing at Kathryn Kuhlman meetings, ministering with Terry Law and The Living Sound, (which ministered the Gospel in otherwised closed doors behind the Iron Curtain, Red China and other Communist countries), as well as ministering as a soloist at Corrie Ten Boom meetings. However, when given the opportunity to launch a secular musical carreer, she chose to walk away from the trappings of fame and instead lay up real treasure in Heaven. Both Walli and Bob are in the medical profession (Walli as an RN, and Bob as an MD), but are committed to world evangelism. Together they opened a private, solo Family Practice as a doctor/nurse team, which allowed them to serve in the medical field, as well as producing finances sufficient to support their family, and build an evangelistic outreach ministry traveling many nations. From small meetings to mass miracle crusades, their ministry led hundreds of thousands to the Lord. They watched Jesus change lives and heal His people of all manner of sickness and disease. They also supported start-up churches from the crusades that remain today. Bob and Walli were called to “dual ministry,” medicine/ministry from the beginning. Always a doctor/nurse, preaching and singing team focused on the end game, eternity, reaching the lost and winning as many souls as possible. In this episode, Scarlett and David talk with Walli about her incredible life experiences, and how God used her gift to create a platform to preach the gospel and impact the nations. Your faith will be emboldened as you watch. __________ https://ScarlettHorton.com __________

Oh, we don't see them because they are in our bank. Or they're parked in our garage. Or we live in them.Don't put your hope into things that change- relationships, money talents, beauty, even health.

If someone's happy, that doesn't necessarily mean everything is going right in their life. It just means they've chosen to shift their attention to their blessings and derive the strength to face and fight their problems."-Gaur Gopal Das"Let your heart constantly beat with the thought, "God, God, God" - God all the twenty-four hours of the day, God as Love, God as Light, God as Omnipotence, God as Omniscience, God as Peace, God as unlimited Happiness, God as infinite Blessedness, God as an all-seeing Presence, God as an all-loving Father, God as an indestructible, Eternal, Absolute Truth, God as Beauty, Protection, Strength.

After it has taken root in good soil, it still must grow. We are not yet in peace, for this peace is a process of becoming, a work that we accomplish—or rather that we allow to be accomplished—within us. Nowhere else will it be found, and no one can sell or rent it to us. There may well appear merchants of happiness with pacifiers that can calm the troubles of our days and nights for a while. But there are no merchants of beatitude. There is only a Presence that is to be discovered, and allowed to grow, in the very core of ourselves."-Leloup, Jean-Yves.

* Trochlea Challenge to Any Evolutionist: (Update: After PZ Myers took a shot at RSR, we renamed the sketch below to the PZ Myers Trochlea Challenge.) Real Science Radio asks any evolutionist to view this anatomical image of the human eye Trochlea and take the KGOV.com challenge. On this radio program, Bob Enyart and RSR co-host Fred Williams discuss the debate over at Theology Online on Entropy and Evolution which led the BEL staff to commission this diagram of the muscles of the eye and the Trochlea sling, to disseminate this challenge. The image shows that the Superior Oblique muscle attached to the top of the eye is threaded through a sling, the Trochlea, for functionality (angle of torque, space requirements, etc.) and the strap-like muscle narrows to a cord to slide through. Darwin's natural selection could not choose this configuration until if functioned minimally. How many generations of offspring with random mutations modifying the design of the various tissue types like bone, nerve, cartilage, and muscle, happening simultaneously do you estimate would have to pass before this most simple of design features of the eye happened upon by chance in order for natural selection to choose it? Now estimate the generations of offspring for a complex feature of the eye... * A Very Encouraging RSR Listener: wrote about our March 28, 2008 program Real Science Radio- Caterpillar Kills Atheism: "I cannot emphasize how much I love this stuff....it is simplicity and truth at its finest -- I thrive on it..I crave it... just two guys talking about the miracle of creation. After listening to this short audio, it should be obvious and self-evident to everyone that God is the Creator of all. Check it out -- it's a great listen. Bob Enyart and Fred Williams tell a great story and put on display the staggering brilliance, genius and beauty of our living God." "Wow, that's humbling. You equally encourage us! Thanks so much! In Christ, -Bob and Fred * The "Bigger Picture" Vision Challenge to Evolutionists: Check out the RSR Vision Challenge to atheists and Darwinists at KGOV.com/atheists#vision! For our Real Science Radio friends, in case you miss other BEL programs, here are some of the: Atheists Bob Enyart has debated... - ABC's Reginald Finley, called The Infidel Guy, from ABC's Wife Swap program; 3-26-07; - Freedom from Religion Foundation's Dan Barker (a founder of the group that put the atheist sign near the Nativity at the capitol in Seattle) who as a teen was involved with the ministry of Kathryn Kuhlman, one of a group of so-called faith healers. (See a BEL listener who initially compared Bob to Benny Hinn until...) The BEL show was on 12-11-08; - TheologyOnline's psychologist Zakath in a 10-round moderated written online debate, also available in soft cover; - TOL's member who calls himself Fool; 3-28-06; - John Henderson who wrote the book God.com 6-15-2006; and, - Michael Shermer, an editor with Scientific American and the Skeptic Society who in in this famous 73-second excerpt on BEL denied that the Bible was correct when it stated that the sun should not be worshipped because it is not a god, but rather, that the sun is a light. Illustrating the difficulty debating atheists when they're hesitant to admit to even the most obvious common ground, Schermer famously replied, "The sun is not a light." 8-28-03 BEL Indiana Seminars: Bob Enyart is coming to Indiana, Goshen in the evening of Jan. 29th and Indianapolis on Saturday January 31st, to present a brand new BEL Seminar titled Hermeneutics: Tools for Studying the Bible.

When Dan Barker was a teenager, he was involved with the ministry of Kathryn Kuhlman, one of a group of so-called faith healers. (See a BEL listener, TOL's Crow, who initially compared Bob to Benny Hinn until...) After interviewing atheists including: - ABC's Reginald Finley, called The Infidel Guy, from ABC's Wife Swap program; - TheologyOnline's psychologist Zakath; - TOL's member who calls himself Fool; - John Henderson who wrote the book God.com; and, - Michael Shermer, an editor with Scientific American and the Skeptic Society who in in this famous 73-second excerpt on BEL denied that the sun is a light, illustrating that it's tough debating atheists when they're hesitant to admit to even the most obvious common ground; now comes Dan Barker, a director with the Freedom from Religion Foundation.* Truth, the Senses, the Universe, Sun and Moon: Acknowledging the difficulty in proving a negative, Bob Enyart stipulates at the outset that atheist Dan Barker would not have to worry about whether God was out on a star in a galaxy far, far away, but rather, Bob and Dan could discuss the evidence before us all, right here and right now. Bob then asks Dan Barker whether or not objective Truth exists. The atheists who will acknowledge that objective truth exists often give so many qualifiers that it can be hard to know if they believe in objective reality. Dan stressed, with Bob's concurrence, that "the word truth is not a thing;" that is, truth is not a physical object. After Bob and Dan seemed to agree that Truth and objective reality exists, later in the discussion Dan seemed to backtrack, and suggest that everything could be an illusion including Barker's very own existence. Yikes! With this Bob blew up in frustration. Not really. Actually, Bob simply reminded Dan of Descartes' "I think, therefore I am" and when Dan said that perhaps everything was an illusion, Bob replied, "Dan, you can assert that you think that I am an illusion, perhaps you think I'm in a dream you are having; but no, you cannot assert that you are an illusion; that YOU do not exist." And Bob indicated Dan's toying with the possibility that perhaps he didn't exist was further evidence that he was equivocating earlier regarding the existence of truth. In the end, Bob was thankful that he and Dan could once again agree that Dan existed, so that the show could proceed. Dan then acknowledged that knowledge can come from sources other than one's own five senses. Bob pointed out that some atheists assert that "only your five senses provide real knowledge," about which he typically asks: "says which of the five?" It wasn't until he was off air that Bob noticed that at 13 minutes into the program Dan seemed to backslide by saying that we should "assume" that "there's an objective reality." (Bob also would be thankful if Dan could email a clarification as to whether he agrees that "reason and logic" are a source, quite apart from the five senses, of knowledge.) Bob and Dan also talked about whether the universe had a beginning, and Bob quoted Hawking: "This argument about whether or not the universe had a beginning, persisted into the 19th and 20th centuries. It was conducted mainly on the basis of theology and philosophy... But if your theory disagrees with the Second Law of Thermodynamics, it is in bad trouble. In fact, the theory that the universe has existed forever is in serious difficulty with the Second Law of Thermodynamics. The Second Law states that disorder always increases with time. ...it indicates that there must have been a beginning. Otherwise, the universe would be in a state of complete disorder by now, and everything would be at the same temperature." -Stephen Hawking To which Dan stated that Hawking has had to correct himself in the past, to which Bob Enyart replied, "Yes, but not about this." Dan tried to explain the continued existence of the universe by claiming that there could be many universes. (Please note, as Bob demonstrated in his 10-round moderated debate with TOL's Zakath, atheists often rationalize "complexity by... introducing even more complexity," completely apart from any empirical evidence, wildly increasing complexity in order to explain it; if an atheist has a problem in that he cannot explain by the laws of science the continued existence of the universe, he merely posits infinite parallel or successive universes. The cover of Discover magazine July 2008 states "Parallel Universes, Infinite Yous" and they ask a physicist, "Can you explain parallel universes?" and Max Tegmark replies, "Three [parallel universes] have been proposed by other people, and I've added a fourth... go far enough out and you will find another Earth with another version of yourself." Yes, attempting to get rid of the Creator requires extraordinary creativity.) Bob argued that there is no empirical evidence for parallel universes, and that if a succession of universes gave rise to one another, that entire process would be a perpetual motion machine that would have run out of useable energy long ago. Bob argued that people should not believe that the Big Bang theory can actually explain the existence of the universe because: - since big bangers don't know "which objects came first, stars or galaxies? Theoretical science offers no clear guidance..." according to 23-year Nature magazine editor John Maddox, p. 48, What Remains to be Discovered; - in the universe's supposed 15 billion years there's insufficient time for its temperature to even out to 2.7 K; - the natural formation of a solar system precludes gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn; - 99% of the solar system mass is in the Sun, yet the planets have 99% of the angular momentum (spin); and, - after $20 billion spent on the U.S. Apollo and lunar program to determine how the moon got there, the only theories simply can't account for the evidence. Dan countered that science always increases in knowledge. And Bob agreed, and then asked if scientific evidence might preclude certain possibilities (like millions of flies spontaneously generating daily out of carcasses, or the solar system forming from a condensing gas cloud). Bob brought up that the supposed Big Bang would have been an event that does not even comply with the laws of physics and which atheists accept on faith. (One tiny example is the so-called Inflationary Period which supposedly began shortly after the explosion and saw a wild and virtually instantaneous acceleration of the speed of the expansion of the universe with a subsequent virtually instantaneous deceleration, none of this having any correlation to the physical laws and hardly qualifying even as a scientific proposition.) Bob concluded that people should not be tricked into thinking that atheistic cosmology has proven how the universe could exist apart from a Creator, when they can't explain the temperature of the universe, the formation of stars or galaxies, gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn, the spin of the Sun vs. the planets, nor even the moon, our very closest outer-space neighbor! Dan closed by agreeing to Bob's suggestion that they trade materials: - Bob's DVD on the Evidence for the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, and - Dan's book, Godless: How an Evangelical Preacher Became One of America's Leading Atheists, which has a chapter arguing against the resurrection, and that they schedule a debate on Christ's resurrection. A BEL staffer put Dan's DVD in the mail right after today's program. Stay tuned...

Day 163 Today's Reading: Galatians 1 A biography always ends with a person, their story, and what they did. A testimony is different. A testimony ends with what God did. God is the star of a testimony. A person is the star of a biography. The old saints used to say, “No test? Then no testimony.” The test is what gives us the testimony and the story. I grew up always hearing the word testimony. We don't hear that anymore. It's a forgotten form of storytelling that needs to be reintroduced. We used to call it “testimony services” in my church when I was growing up. It was in those services we got to hear people's stories. The basic plot line to a testimony is this: “It's bad, really bad. I was at the end of my rope. Jesus stepped in. And this is what He did. He rescued me.” I grew up in a storytelling family. We would have incredible Christian heroes sit around our table at home and share their stories with us. And if I wasn't there, I would hear the stories from my parents. I heard how Pennsylvania country preacher David Wilkerson started Teen Challenge in New York City. How converted gang member Nicky Cruz went from killing people to preaching to them. How Sonny Arguinzoni, a notorious New York drug addict, got saved and started a movement of churches worldwide called Victory Outreach. How my dad witnessed miracles when he was evangelist Kathryn Kuhlman's bodyguard when she was in town and he was off duty with the NYPD. My parents told me about the healings they saw through the ministry of Smith Wigglesworth when he would come to their church, Glad Tidings, in lower Manhattan. I got to hear stories from Paul Yonggi Cho, pastor of the million-member church in Seoul, South Korea, as he sat at our dinner table. All these stories would inform and inflame. That's what a testimony does. It sets us on fire and helps us realize how amazing God is. We're missing these stories today, especially for our youth. Eugene Peterson calls it “historical amnesia” and has this to say about it: "Another characteristic of the adolescent that has spread into the larger population is the absence of historical sense. The adolescent, of course, has no history. He or she has a childhood, but no accumulation of experience that transcends personal details and produces a sense of history. His world is highly personal and extremely empirical. As a consequence, the teenager is incredibly gullible. . . They may know the facts of history and read historical novels by the dozen, but they don't feel history in their bones. It is not their history. The result is that they begin every problem from scratch. There is no feeling of being part of a living tradition that already has some answers worked out and some procedures worth repeating." I'm so happy my parents connected me to the stories of God's people. It helped me see a much bigger picture than my own small world. In today's chapter, Paul tells his testimony. And he also shares how people realized that what happened to him couldn't have happened unless God stepped in. That this was nothing short of a miracle: The only thing they heard about me was this: “Our former enemy, who once brutally persecuted us, is now preaching the good news of the faith that he was once obsessed with destroying!” Because of the transformation that took place in my life, they praised God even more! (Galatians 1:23-24, TPT) Shannon L. Alder once said, “God can deliver you so well that some people won't believe your testimony.” Someone said it like this: God formed man. Sin deformed him. Education informs him. Religion may reform him. But only Jesus Christ can transform him. Paul made it to the final “only Jesus Christ can transform him” part. Most people

It may sound strange, but there is a practice among some who believe that laying on the grave of a man or woman of perceived great faith, healing, and miracles leads to taking up their mantles and anointing. This is referred to by many as grave soaking. One such grave sought for this practice is the resting place of Kathryn Kuhlman.

From his grandmother's healing in Kathryn Kuhlman's meetings to his own present day prophetic ministry, Prophet Bill Yount has been led by the Holy Spirit. He wants others to also have healing from Jesus "run in their family." Living supernaturally is vital, now more than ever, in these increasingly difficult times. What does living supernaturally look like? Bill describes it and speaks prophetically over the listeners. As one who frequently blows the shofar in meetings, Bill blows his shofar in this podcast and has words of hope for families with prodigal loved ones. Bill has 5 prophetic books on Amazon, but in this episode he shares prophetic words from his book, Some Hear Thunder, I Hear a Roar. https://www.pammorrisonministries.com
Wake the Faith up Slayer… This is Garth Heckman with the David Alliance and you can reach me at TDAgiantslayer@gmail.com Brought to you by wellbuiltbody.com Gym Apparel for men and women that rocks and shocks and ain't for everybody - but just might be for you. wellbuiltbody.com WE TRANSFORM BY ABIDING To understand these next few days it is so important that you listen to the first one called Jealousy. It sets the stage for the levels of abiding in God. So after yesterday we talked about praise and worship… and next is the Word of God. The word Is a light, is a sword, is life, it is sustenance is wisdom ITS WORK! 2 Tim. 2:15 Study to show thyself approved unto God, WORKMAN that needeth not be ashamed. Levels of reading Gods word - 1 You just read to read, maybe it is discipline, maybe curiosity, maybe guilt, maybe habit… and it is basically head knowledge. We typically start there. Not a lot of work involved really… just reading. - 2 Read and re-read. Looking for other scriptures that highlight and speak to the current scriptures you are reading. You read about sowing and reaping in Galatians, and you go check out Luke 8 on sowing and reaping the word, then you realize the verses on Gods family in 19-21 is about sowing. - 3 Reading and studying with other books, and assistance from DVD's, bible courses etc… Trying to understand the historical setting, the church background, the audience, the author and the greek behind the text. - 4 Reading until you see Christ reveal himself in the word. Lets take our previous example of sowing and reaping… now you realize that Christ had to be a seed, and be planted in the ground, and die and then resurrect int life eternal for those of us to feast off of and have life eternal. All things begin to point to Jesus. READ until God shows you insight, illumination and finally read until you are more hungry to spend time with God. When I read and pray and abide- I know it is working because it makes me want to spend even more time in reading, praying and abiding! The great hero of faith, Smith wiggles worth, John G lake, Oral Roberts, Kathryn Kuhlman, John G Finney and the list could go on and on… they all were hungry for time with God and it became a habit and an addiction to where they would spend hours a day (and never miss day) with God.

Kathryn Kuhlman helped to shape a generation of Pentecostal/Charismatic theology and practice by reintroducing a depth of spirituality that harkened back to the teachings of the mystics. She introduced the concept of spiritual silence to a generation of Sawdust Trail Pentecostals known for their exuberant and lively worship services, and she popularized the experience of being "slain in the Spirit." But her most notable innovation resulted from discarding healing lines and cards together with a healing theology based upon the faith of the adherents. Instead, she invited pilgrims into a transcendent experience of the manifest presence of the Holy Spirit, which rested upon a foundation of love. It is those miracles, and the way those miracles took place, or the 'method' or 'praxis,' that became her greatest contributions. The methodology she used and the theological basis for it are some of the most interesting and poignant aspects of her incredible life and yet what is least understood. Many have attempted to mimic her methods and to adopt her style, but few, if any, have fully understood or appreciated the theological and practical leap she made when she entered into a new realm of spiritual expression. It is this hidden manna that Margaret English de Alminana's book seeks to uncover. Find out more at facebook.com/authordrdealminana.

Allen to Benny Hinn, we look at their lives, their money, their secrets, and especially with Todd Bentley why they are terrible people. We also discuss the tricks of the trades, the laws protecting children from them, and our personal experience with them. As always we are not experts, we just google this stuff.

On October 15, 1974, Johnny Carson welcomed his next guest on The Tonight Show with these words: “I imagine there are very few people who are not aware of Kathryn Kuhlman. She probably, along with Billy Graham, is one of the best-known ministers or preachers in the country.” But while many people today recognize Billy Graham, not many remember Kathryn Kuhlman (1907–1976), who preached faith and miracles to countless people over the fifty-five years of her ministry and became one of the most important figures in the rise of charismatic Christianity. In The Miracle Lady: Kathryn Kuhlman and the Transformation of Charismatic Christianity (Eerdmans, 2019),Amy Collier Artman tells the story of Kuhlman's life and, in the process, relates the larger story of charismatic Christianity, particularly how it moved from the fringes of American society to the mainstream. Tracing her remarkable career as a media-savvy preacher and fleshing out her unconventional character, Artman also shows how Kuhlman skillfully navigated the oppressive structures, rules, and landmines that surrounded female religious leaders in her conservative circles.
