February 01, 2018 Psychology and Psychotherapy (part 2)
Professional psychotherapy, with its underlying psychologies, is questionable at best, detrimental at worst, and a spiritual counterfeit at least. On one hand, there’s enough biblical and scientific evidence to shut down the secular psychology industry and with it the “Christian Psychology” industry. On the other hand, we’re not naïve enough to believe that the overwhelming amount of scientific evidence supporting its demise will be heeded by the majority of Christians.

January 26, 2018 Healing the Inner Child
Dave: One of the major vehicles for occultism coming into the church is indeed Christian Psychology because Christian Psychology isn’t something new on its own. You can look it up in the index of any textbook in any university or seminary in the library, and in any psychology textbook, there is no listing for Christian Psychology because there is no Christian who is the founder of a school of Christian Psychology...

January 19, 2018 Can Psychology Be Christian?
But before we go over our concerns about Christian psychology, I think it would be helpful if we went over some of the fundamental problems with psychology. Dave, psychology claims to be a science, which it is not, but even if it were a bedrock science, its chief subject, mankind, is not the stuff of science. In other words, man, whose makeup consists of body, mind, and spirit, is beyond the scope of science. Now that’s a tough one for prideful humanity to admit, but it is no less true, isn’t it?

January 12, 2018 Harvesting Seed-faith Offerings
Dave, we’re going to jump right in with an example of charismatic evangelical occultism which, for some, it may seem like a straightforward con job, but actually it involves the basic elements of occult methodology. The example I’m referring to is found on pages 499-500 of your book, and deals with Oral Roberts and his son Richard and their green and red candles.

January 05, 2018 Looking for that Point of Contact
Charismatic – that’s a recent movement, I guess. The Pentecostal movement they say began about 1906 at Azusa Street in Los Angeles. The charismatic movement is basically sort of a Pentecostal belief in the gifts of the Spirit, but it’s not confined to the Pentecostal churches. It has penetrated the mainline churches out there. So basically, they believe in the gifts of the Spirit, the baptism in the Spirit...

January 01, 2018 Psychology and Psychotherapy (part 1)
According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, psychology is “the science of mind and behavior.” Is psychology a science? Well, yes and no, depending on one’s understanding of the term “science.” If one views the study of psychology as simply the pursuit of the knowledge of human behavior, some are satisfied with its definition as a science.

December 29, 2017 Are Those Apparitions Really the Virgin Mary?
Today we’re continuing our discussion about apparitions, particularly the apparitions of Mary, which have been going on over the centuries and are manifesting themselves around the world at an astounding rate these days. For example, the number of pilgrimages to the alleged visitation sites is staggering: 20-30 million to Medjugorje since 1981. Five million faithful visit Lourdes, France every year. A half million visit the National Shrine Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes here in the US. Five million travel annually to Poland’s shrine of Our Lady of Jasna Gora. Over a million...

December 22, 2017 More on Angels, Demons, and Apparitions
Today we’re going to discuss apparitions, religious or otherwise, which seem to be capturing the hearts and minds of more and more people these days. Apparitions are ghostlike figures which appear briefly and then disappear, which raises some questions, the most basic one being, “What is a ghost?”

December 15, 2017 More on UFOs and Apparitions
Today we’re following up on our discussion of UFOs, and for those who missed last week’s program, here are some of the points we tried to make: we established that all intelligent life forms must be the product of God’s creation, and that conclusion is based upon logic, probability, true science, and the Bible. All physical beings...

December 08, 2017 UFOs and Apparitions
Tom: Dave, if UFOs are in fact physical vehicles of extraterrestrial space travelers, then they really don’t fit into our general definition of occultism. But the evidence is overwhelming that neither UFOs nor their so-called occupants are physical. Isn’t that the case...
