In my 64 plus years of life, I never would have thought I would see the day where this great country would become vulnerable to its enemies. But over the last 16 years minus four years for a reprieve with the Trump administration, we have seen that vulnerability increase even more. When did I first notice this? I started asking questions in my twenties, working at an electronics firm in…

The New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) is a dominionist movement which asserts that God is restoring the lost offices of church governance, namely the offices of Prophet and Apostle.Leading false teachers in this seemingly loosely organized movement claim that these prophets and apostles alone have the power and authority to execute God’s plans and purposes on earth. They believe they are laying…

First off let me say Happy New Year 2024 to you and yours as we embark on a new year. A lot has been happening in the family and with the job taking a lot of my time, I am hoping to exercise some good time management to get back to writing and posting blogs here.

5 Common New Age Beliefs in the Church & What Christians Should Know About Them Over the past few decades the New Age movements have been popular outside the Christian church.

by Rob LundbergLooking back at my last post, I cannot believe that it was last October since my last one. That was when we did the interview with Midwest Christian Outreach. Since that time, with all that has been going on with work-, and course development wise, I have been doing a lot of thinking on the direction of this website and blog. One thing I am finding out is that many people do not…

Breaking Down the Importance of Apologetics

For many Christians, apologetics is a forgotten art. Though Christian laymen and ministers usually know how to share their faith, very rarely will you find that same person able to defend it.  Due to the rising anti-Christian climate currently prevalent in America today, believers need to be informed about how to defend their faith. Before examining the branch of theology known as apologetics,…

Forbidden Practices of the New Age, Witchcraft, and the Occult

by Rob LundbergThere is a lot of spiritual fervor among the religious skepticism in our culture. People will reject the Bible and the God of the Bible. People will ridicule Christianity as antiquated and passe. But let me tell you that the Christian faith is a supernatural worldview, because we worship a supernatural God. Not only that, but religion by its very nature implies the belief in the…

Should We Pray to Angels?

by Rob Lundberg Why is it that many people believe in angels but do not have a proper understanding of God for it is the one true God that the angels serve.  Folks embracing a new age ideology and liberal Christians will tell you and I that they have no problem praying to angels. This post is going to answer the question from the objective standard of the Bible. What is an angel? Angels are a…

If God Made the Universe then Who Made God?

No Need to Fear in Sharing Your Faith

by Rob LundbergAnd over those years and talking to many fellow believers there is something that has me concerned. Our culture is changing and . . . Sharing your faith is never easy!  In fact, most Christians don’t share their faith.The number one reason – FEAR!I want you to know that I totally understand this!  What kind of fears might we have?  Fear of not having answers or not getting someone…

Did the Gospel Writers Make Up the Gospel Records?

by Rob Lundberg For decades people and even academic (secular) scholars have tried to show that the early church had corrupted the early Christian texts in order to portray Jesus as one of another kind of “messiah” or a phony Messiah at worst.  If we think of this for just a little bit, there are a few problems with this objection attempting to make the gospels a fable.
