Dominionism! 
by Dr. Orrel Steinkamp & Sandy
Simpson
The title and cover art of this work are a play off of the book by C. Peter Wagner entitled ""Dominion! How Kingdom Action Can Change The World".  In contrast to this specious claim we have titled this book "Dominionism! How Unbiblical Action Can Change The Churches".  We think that is far more in keeping with what we will present in this series of articles and essays on the subject of Kingdom Now/Dominionism.
Indeed, many churches have already been changed by accepting the false teachings that constitute Dominionism.  This started decades ago under Reformed Reconstrucionism and Latter Rain theology, but even before that in the Roman Catholic Church (RCC).  The attempt of Constantine to protect Christians from being persecuted, since he claimed he had become one of them, turned out to begin a journey in syncretism and Dominion.  It wasn't long before corrupt church officials began to try to seize power all over Europe and beyond as the "Holy Roman Empire".  The Reformation itself was a reaction to the lengths to which the RCC had gone to take control over the Scriptures, the nations, the kingdoms, and the people for financial gain.  They sold indulgences, promising those who came up with enough money a much shorter time in Purgatory.  Those same ploys are being used today on what has been loosely called "Christian television" by the sale of trinkets and promises of healing, financial gain and even salvation.
These ideas all coalesce in Dominionism.  If it were true that the Church needs to take over the planet, then we would be seeing the unstoppable plans of God's physical Kingdom unfolding.  But we do not.  All we see are failed prophecies, empty edicts and declarations coming from false apostles and false prophets.  They love to fool Christians with talk of the "kingdom" when it is clear they are talking about a different "kingdom"; a Kingdom Now not a Kingdom come.  Jesus taught us to pray: "Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven".  The implication is that we are to be about building His spiritual Kingdom while praying for and expecting His physical Kingdom to come.  The only way we can do that is to continue in the Great Commission till He comes, not attempt to rule where God has not given the Church the authority to rule.  Jesus will do that when He returns.  If we go off on the tangent the Dominionists want us to go, we will not only miss out on the blessings of His Kingdom to come, but may well be deserving of judgment.
This book is online and available as a download at this time for $15.  The printed version will be available in about a month and will be $20. each.

Jesus Calling, Contemplative Prayer, the New Age, and Psalm 46:10
by Warren B. Smith, 5/17/18 LT Publishing

Countless references to meditating, being quiet, being still, relaxing, resting, letting go, and reciting Psalm 46:10 are found throughout God Calling and Jesus Calling. They are all suggested ways of entering into "the silence" to experience God's presence. The New Age/New Spirituality likewise places great emphasis on these same ways of entering the silence in order to experience God's presence. The reason so much emphasis has been put on stillness and invoking Psalm 46:10 in the New Age/New Spirituality is because stillness has provided a "channel" for supernatural communication. What I came to realize years ago was that the silence allowed deceptive spirits to establish contact with those of us who were naïve and undiscerning "listeners." The conditions of stillness, openness, and receptivity were ideal for deceptive spirits to inject ungodly thoughts and understandings into our minds. And now the same thing is going on in the church which sees no need to test the spirits.

One of the main signs of the end of the age
by Mike Oppenheimer, 5/20/18 Let Us Reason  

The sign of the end. "Mark 13:6: "For many will come in My name, saying, 'I am He,' and will deceive many." (I am he, "he" is not in the original.) Luke 21:8-9 adds, 'The time has drawn near.' Therefore do not go after them." Before the real I AM returns, who is Jesus, He warns many will impersonate him. Mt. 24:5: "For many will come in My name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and will deceive many." In these passages we see two forms that are being used today by new agers and even those inside the church, "I am" and Christ.

5 Signs You're Part of an Unhealthy Church
by Marielle Thomas, 5/22/18 

There is no such thing as a "perfect" church. Honestly, there will never be a perfect church because the people who occupy the church are imperfect. The only thing perfect in church is the message and purity of the Gospel. Though there is no perfect church, there are healthy and unhealthy churches. I have been in church literally my entire life, so I have seen the great, the good, the bad, and the downright ugly. After witnessing and having endless discussions about the church culture, I have compiled a list of 5 signs that signal you are a part of an unhealthy church.
