Letters to the charismatic church
A collection of thoughts about healing, prophecy, worship, prosperity, miracles, faith, and more. What the Bible says about these things might not be what you’ve been taught.
The shocking 24 hours when Jesus’ miracles didn’t matter
A single 24-hour period saw two of Jesus’ most spectacular signs: feeding the multitude and walking on water. But it also saw most of His followers abandon Him. The miracles didn’t keep them.
The gospel does not need miracles to be effective
Some professing Christians think evangelism must include signs and wonders to be effective. But the Bible shows and teaches us that God’s power is in the preaching of the gospel.

Have you been praying for a healing only to be told you need more faith? Here’s a comprehensive Biblical case proving that’s not true. Jesus doesn’t need anything to heal us.

‘Gradual’ healing? How we’re not seeing this story clearly
Some Christians have somehow taken the story of the blind man in Mark 8 to mean that healing can take as long as years.
