The Lakeland Rebuttal

Posted by: James Laws In: Church Chat| Odds & Ends

Over the past few months I have been asked about my opinions of Todd Bentley and what has come to be known as the Lakeland Revival by both family and complete strangers. Although I’ve been trepidatious, I’ve remained somewhat silent in my conjecture up to this point. And actually, I am not going to start now.

All I want to do is draw your attention to an article by J. Lee Grady, an editor for Charisma Magazine. He offers some challenging questions from church leaders and Christians in general who long to see the supernatural power of God at work in our nation and around the world. Here is one quote from the article that just about somes up my feelings on all that has transpired.

I blame this lack of discernment, partly, on raw zeal for God. We’re spiritually hungry—which can be a good thing. But sometimes, hungry people will eat anything.

    About

    Something has been happening inside me that I have a very difficult time explaining. It has been happening for several months now and keeps getting more and more dramatic. I am haunted when I sleep. I am haunted while I'm awake. I am haunted when I watch TV and when I drive around town. I am haunted when I talk to friends and I am haunted when I sit in silence.

    I am sad and angry by what I see around me and brought to tears when I see someone do something about it. My heart is broken, my mind is overwhelmed and my body is weak. I must do more. I must help others do more. I must help other become haunted.
