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 Devotional Bible |
by Sarah Young
Reviewed by Warren B. Smith, 7/14/18
Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6), and the true Jesus does not contradict Himself regarding His last words before ascending into heaven or any other matter. Nor does He put forth untrue, disparaging remarks about Abraham and Isaac. While it is not the purpose of this article to catalog all the concerns that arise when reading Sarah Young's Jesus Calling Devotional Bible, these two examples alone should be enough to keep any sincere believer far away from the Jesus Calling Devotional Bible.

| Sister Aimee, the Life of Aimee Semple McPherson | |
by Daniel Mark Epstein
Reviewed by Gary Gilley, 7/15/18
Sister Aimee, while largely forgotten today, was not only the most famous woman of her era, she was the most influential Pentecostal of her day, a trend setter for future faith healers, the seeker sensitive movement, church drama and theater, the spread of the second baptism of the Holy Spirit doctrine, and tongues. Her life is a mix of success and tragedy. Few have ever experienced such fame and accomplishment, yet she suffered two or more nervous breakdowns, numerous serious physical problems, widowhood, two failed marriages, permanent separation from all family members but her son, scandals, law suits, and criminal charges. While few know her name today one would have to wonder what church life would be like today had there been no Sister Aimee.

| "GOD'S DREAM"-Satan's Ultimate Scheme (Booklet) |
by Warren B. Smith, 7/17/18
Google the term "God's Dream," and you will immediately find countless references on Christian websites to this popular spiritual term. An ever-increasing number of Christian authors, pastors, youth leaders, evangelists, bloggers, musicians, and everyday believers are using the term "God's Dream" as if it has some sound scriptural basis. It doesn't. Keep looking, and you will find that the concept of "God's Dream" is also presented by a wide variety of New Age leaders, authors, gurus, bloggers, and false Christs. Most Christians using the concept of "God's Dream" are unaware it is an overlapping New Age term that can be traced at least as far back as the early 1900s where it was referenced in two New Age magazines published for those interested in the occult teachings of Theosophy and the coming of a false Christ named Maitreya. "God's Dream" was the title of a poem that prefaced an article about practical theosophy in a 1904 issue of New Century Path magazine."1 "God's Dream" also appeared in an article about reincarnation in a 1916 issue of The Theosophical Path magazine.
