Brother Michel Lankford Yes, Scripture CLEARLY teaches that human beings are fundamentally wicked and evil at our core. That is WHY we NEED a Savior to transform us from evil to Good. This has been the case ever since humanity chose to obey the devil instead of obeying God in (Genesis chapter 3). You see before then, humanity WAS good, (Genesis 1:31). YHWH Almighty God gave humanity the authority to rule the Earth, to exercise dominion over it. and subdue or control it, (Genesis 1:28). When humanity obeyed the devil instead of obeying God, (Genesis 2:4–17; Genesis 3:1–7), WE humanity Read more…

By Brother Michel Lankford I know that that is a popular idea in the word of faith movement….The word of faith movement teaches that a person should pray only once and be done. From THEIR perspective it is supposedly a lack of faith to continue praying for the same thing. The problem with the word of faith approach is that this is NOT biblical at all. Scripture overtly teaches the OPPOSITE concept.

By Brother Michel Lankford This is a question that comes across my desk A LOT, in one form or another. People seemed quite confused over the idea of what is sin and what is not sin.

They really do assume that if the preacher up front isn’t talking about it, then it Read more…

By Brother Michel Lankford We’re not in fact being punished for Adam and Eve’s sin. The difference is between the concept of active punishment and that of natural consequences. That is in large part a misconception or a misunderstanding. Consider this. there is a HUGE difference between the concept of natural consequences or results, and God actively punishing someone. Try not to mix up those two critical yet distinct concepts. It’s very tempting to blame God when we receive results in our lives that we don’t like. Yet, God has decreed that every plant will bear seed and fruits after Read more…

Brother Michel Lankford Learning that NOT ALL Things are Free One of the biggest LIES of the free Grace/Ultra Grace (FG/AG) Movements is the false concept that absolutely EVERY blessing and EVERY benefit in the Eternal Kingdom is allegedly a FREE gift of Grace. According to FG/AG teachers, the Kingdom of God is a gigantic welfare state where everything is free, and no one pays for anything beyond what Jesus did at the cross. The problem with that theology is that it’s complete hogwash. More importantly, such theology calls Jesus Himself a liar. Think about it. IF EVERYTHING in God’s Read more…
