A Short History of Dominionism
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
In order to understand where the modern fusion called "Dominioism" comes from, I want to first give you definitions of Kingdom Now, Dominionism and Reconstructionism.
Dominionism is sparsely defined as follows:
"Dominion Theology (also known as Dominionism) is a group of Christian political ideologies that seek to institute a nation governed by Christians based on their personal understandings of biblical law. Extents of rule and ways of achieving governing authority are varied. For example, Dominion Theology can include theonomy, but does not necessarily involve advocating Mosaic law as the basis of government. The label is applied primarily toward groups of Protestants in the United States." [1]
It is more closely defined this way:
"Dominionism, or Christian Dominionism is a term coined by social scientists and popularized by journalists to refer to a subset of American Christianity that is conservative, politically active, and believes that Christians should, and eventually will, take control of the government. The term is sometimes used as a "catch-all" by bloggers to describe any politically active Christian, but not every conservative, politically minded Christian is a Dominionist. Christian Dominionists believe that God desires Christians to rise to power through civil systems so that His Word might then govern the nation. The belief that "America is a Christian nation" is sometimes called "soft dominionism"; the idea that God wants only Christians to hold government office and run the country according to biblical law is called "hard dominionism." [2]
"Hard Dominioism" as it is called in the above definition, is what C. Peter Wagner (deceased) of the New Apostolic Reformation (a term he coined) have been advocating, following the teachings of the New Order of the Latter Rain and Reformed Theology "Reconstructionism".

| Slain in the Spirit-Is It a Biblical Practice? |
by Kevin Reeves, 4/19/19
But I have yet to know of anyone, myself included, who, because of being slain, experienced a changed life characterized by a love for the truth and a knowledge of God in agreement with the Scriptures. In my experience, the exact opposite has happened. When folks get touched with this kind of power, they routinely become almost unteachable, preferring the experience to the Word of God. I can't relate how many times I've heard, "Well, maybe I can't find it in the Scriptures, but it happened to me, so it's real!" That's a dangerous step to take. In my many years of involvement with the occult prior to salvation, I had numerous real encounters with the supernatural. Certainly they could not have originated with God, but I once believed some of them did, and to me that was all that mattered. My ears were closed to any protest from Christian friends. Such a stubborn mindset is a fertile seedbed for deception. From just such a people will spring up a world ruler who will lead many to everlasting destruction: For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. (2 Thessalonians 2:7-10)

| Subversive Sabbath, the Surprising Power of Rest in a Nonstop World |
by A.J. Swoboda 
Reviewed by Gary Gilley
As can be discerned from this review, despite accolades and awards, Subversive Sabbath has virtually nothing to do with the Sabbath teaching found in Scripture. It rather is a diatribe on the need for rest in a hectic world (not a bad idea). However, the book distorts the teachings of Scripture on the subject, leads the reader in false directions, badly mishandles Scripture, and draws from a wide assortment of unbiblical sources. That there is a Sabbath, or rest principle engrained in God's universe, is a defensible position. That Sabbath is to be practiced as outlined in this volume is not.

| Israel's Election Aftermath |
by Ruben Rothler, 4/15/19
With the results of the Israeli elections confirmed, Netenyahu is on course to be Israel's longest serving Prime Minister. Without doubt, Netenyahu's political acumen and savy borders on that of genius. He has mastered the dark arts of discourse. He was able to successfully project himself as the man who can continue to provide security, identity and prosperity.
