Believe Differently

This, as it happens, is my second post related to Todd Bentley’s antics but it is going to be my last (my other post can be found here). If anyone wants to discuss the so called “Florida Revival” we can do so here but I am not planning to post any further blogs on the [...]

When I attempt the ineffable Name, murmuring Thou,
