PRESIDENT TRUMP PREACHES THE GOSPEL
On Good Friday, the Son of God was nailed to the cross, crucified, and he died. For all of us, it was a day of darkness, but it wasn't the end. By any means, it was not the end. On Easter Sunday, the stone was rolled away and the grave was empty. Christians everywhere rejoiced, and we continue to rejoice. Easter is one of the incredible days. It was the miracle in all of history, the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It was one of the great... It was the great miracle, I guess, right? The great miracle. He told his followers, "I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Because of the events of Holy Week twenty centuries ago, people from every nation, language, and background can take on any difficulty, press through any trial, and endure any hardship. With Christ, not one thing can separate humanity from the powers of God's everlasting love.

The more I learn about how Bethel leaders and the overall New Apostolic Reformation movement view sin, the more I find them almost indistinguishable from the Progressive Christian perspective. Here's why:
1. There's a hyper focus on grace. The fancy word for this is called "antinomianism", which is a downplay or dismissal of obedience and repentance and moral accountability is optional. "That's legalism!" they usually say.
2. An overemphasis on human power. God is demoted to a human level, and humans are elevated to God level.
3. There's a hyper focus on empathy that's disconnected from truth. Empathy is a smoke and mirrors way of saying they will restore someone, but really it can eaaaaasily become an excuse of their sin. Empathy becomes the highest virtue, so any call to repentance, correction, or moral clarity is treated as harm. Accountability becomes "judgment."
4. Feelings become the moral authority because that's how you hear from God.
No wonder we're seeing such deflection from so many of the leaders. And no wonder so many people are holding out hope that Kris Valloton and Bill Johnson hold true to their repentance. Because they desperately need a Charismatic reformation.
