(I am very curious now who this author was and what doctrine was so unorthodox!) I am wondering, and hoping you will address in another post, the controversy over The American Patriot's Bible. From reading this post, I assume you find the theology represented in that product to be acceptable and not heretical in any way. Do you approve for publication books with which you may not personally agree, so long as they are not overtly counter to traditional church doctrine? Excellent post.

You've shared some pretty powerful stuff before. I can't think of what else you've written that might top this. Now I'm sorry this sat in my inbox for a day. Only because you're asking readers to do so, I'll share that I was also once in a situation to confront bad theology—bad enough to directly affront the blood with which we are saved. I waited for people in more authority than me to confront the speaker and they remained silent. As my zeal for God's holiness grew, the Holy Spirit compelled me to confront the speaker, right there, where the message would be disputed. [I can feel the fear I had then as I write this.] But the Lord provided the words as well as the courage. I expected and immediately received repercussions. Much later, I was fully vindicated by faithful Christians. I learned that day that if God compels us to speak, He'll provide the words, the boldness, and, in time, a worthy reward. Mike!

You had the complete support of the whole team, and we were convinced that God would honor your decision. That's why so many people continue to follow you confidently, knowing that God and His Word trumps everything. Mike, I remember that day well!
