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.

| Pew: 25% of Survey's Christians Don't Buy Biblical God | |
by Diana Chandler, Baptist Press, 6/12/18
A fourth of self-identified Christians don't believe fully in the biblical description of God, Pew Research Center said in its latest study. Rather, 25 percent of American Christians believe in what Pew described as "God or another higher power" who is not necessarily all-loving, omniscient and omnipotent as Scripture reveals. "In total, three-quarters of U.S. Christians believe that God possesses all three of these attributes - that the deity is loving, omniscient and omnipotent," Pew found in the study of about 4,750 Americans released April 25.

| Occult Practices in the Churches - How the occult has been fully integrated into many Christian lives and fellowships |
by Sandy Simpson, 6/7/18 
The Bible is quite clear about occult practices. Neither Israel nor the Church is to have anything to do with the way the world tries to gain secret knowledge. The Gnostics were and are known for promoting new revelation that is either loosely tied to Scripture taken out of context or not at all. The Israelites seeking information from the dead or in omens were judged harshly by the Lord who had warned them numerous times to stay away from that stuff. Yet due to the influences of heretical teachers in the New Apostolic Reformation, Word of Faith, Emergent Church, and the New Age many have been successful in getting lots of churches and denominations into occult practices that have been thinly disguised as "Christian". Many of those who follow these people, I'm sure, have no idea how far they have strayed into the occult. First I want to give the dictionary definitions and then Biblical warnings against these practices. Then I will give examples in the churches taken mainly from the ElijahList e-newsletter.

| Box of Butterflies |
by Roma Downey - Reviewed by Lois Putnam
The fact that Roma Downey's recently released, New Age-promoting book, Box of Butterflies, is being endorsed by numerous evangelical leaders like Rick and Kay Warren, Focus on the Family, Jonathan Falwell, Craig Groeschel, John Hagee, Max Lucado, Erwin McManus, Luis Palau Association, Hillsong, and Ronnie Floyd (the last SBC president) is reason to read this review in its entirety. We find it outrageous that Roma Downey has received a pass into the evangelical church from many of its leading figures, including David Jeremiah and Greg Laurie-and for the most part, no one seems to care. The New Age is not coming into the church-it is in the church already, at least this apostate pseudo church that is fast growing and fulfilling endtime Bible prophecy right under everyone's noses.
