Screwtape Legacy by Sandy Simpson
The book by C.S. Lewis called "Screwtape Letters" was a clever idea in exposing a number of tactics of the enemy. Those principles are still at work today in many churches. Following is a list of some of the things the enemy wants to see in churches and Christians in order to bring them down. Go here for ordering information.

Dear Friends,
The legacy of the influence of the enemy in the churches is to stop testing, discerning and judging what is taught and done against the Scriptures.

Major spiritual deception is underway and showing up at churches with: Unbiblical lyrics in worship songs, Strange personal experiences, Controversial prayer techniques, False doctrines influencing elders, Questionable "signs and wonders", Biblical misinterpretations, Rejecting Calvary Chapel Distinctives, and Lack of pastoral leadership. Dr. Newton explains the teachings and practices of the New Apostolic Reformation infiltrating the church, and offers sound Biblical responses to address this deception.

What Your Church Needs to Know Before Doing a Priscilla Shirer Study |
by Lighthouse Trails, 6/3/17
This week, our office received a call from a woman who was concerned that her church is going to be doing a study using material by Priscilla Shirer. Our caller wanted to get some information she can show her pastor as to why her church should not be doing a Priscilla Shirer study. Because Priscilla Shirer is a contemplative proponent, we concur with our caller's concerns. In John Lanagan's booklet, Beth Moore & Priscilla Shirer - Their History of Contemplative Prayer, Lanagan shows how both Moore and Shirer have been advocates of contemplative spirituality for quite some time. In that booklet, and this is what we want to focus on in this article, Lanagan discusses a woman named Jan Johnson. Because Priscilla Shirer embraces and has gleaned spiritually from Johnson, we need to take a closer look at what Johnson believes.

Right Thinking In A Church Gone Astray, Finding Our Way Back To Biblical Truth |
by Nathan Busentiz
Reviewed by Gary Gilley
The common thread running throughout Right Thinking is a call to evaluate every trend, every fad, every movement, every doctrine by the authoritative Word of God. The authors within this volume not only lay down this challenge, they model it in their handling of the various subjects. Highly recommended.

Fighting Fear in a Fearful Day (Booklet)
|
by Maria Kneas, 6/6/17
The Bible tells us to "cast" our cares (fears, anxieties, worries, and concerns) on God because He cares for us (loves us and takes good care of us). That means giving our cares to God, and leaving them with Him-not taking them back again: Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. (1 Peter 5:7) This is easier said than done. We have to learn how to do it. Like many things in life, it takes practice. We can ask God to enable us to do it, to give us the grace for it, and to help us appropriate and work with the grace He gives us.
