Todd White is a charlatan of the highest order, masquerading as a preacher and pastor. His supposed “healings” are nothing more than cheap parlor tricks, and his association with known false prophets and heretics should be a red flag to anyone who encounters him. But...
Scripture is unambiguous in its condemnation of false teaching. The Apostle Peter equates it with heresy and apostasy, and warns of its destructive consequences, "But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will...
Jesus warned that following him would not be easy and that because of Him, we would be hated by the world. At the heart of the Christian faith lies a call to commitment and sacrifice, a demand for allegiance that transcends the earthly realm and grounds itself in the...
