Healer or Heretic? By Didi Williamson The Good News Editor’s Note: The staff of The Good News Today does not endorse nor condemn Todd Bentley or The Florida Healing Outpouring. This article is merely meant to educate readers so they can make an informed opinion about the events occurring in Lakeland, Fla. People say there’s a modern-day Pool of Bethesda in Lakeland, Fla. ? of all places. Canadian evangelist Todd Bentley of Fresh Fire Ministries came to the small town of 90,000 people on April 2 for a weeklong revival at the charismatic Ignited Church, and reports of miracles like those from Bethesda in Jesus’ day began pouring out of Lakeland. Broken elbows heal. Hepatitis C disappears. Heart murmurs are no longer recognizable. Crippled people walk. And the dead rise.

So, What’s A Christian To Do?By John ArcaroAre you a Christian? Or are you a “Christian” in name only, just warming a pew and taking up space? If you’re not sure, read Matthew 7:20-21, then do some serious, honest soul-searching. If you ARE sure, share this article with someone who’s not sure, but wants to BE sure. Christianity is a relationship. Like all relationships, it begins with a voluntary decision... no arm-twisting, no blackmail, no pretending. A relationship has a life: once it is born, it grows, slows, stagnates, has its ups and downs, and becomes strong... or it is broken and dies. It’s your choice. The natural, normal lifecycle of a relationship is that it gets more intimate with time; the more time you spend with someone, the closer you become. The strength or weakness of a relationship is revealed by the deeds NOT the words ? of the two people in it. It’s your choice.

“Don’t believe the lie, don’t die” By Ralph C. Davis “What is impossible with man is possible with God.” (Luke 18:27) Except for? except for? except for what? It is so easy to claim faith in a living God and then grovel when we experience any type of stress or problems. It is only too common to sing songs of praise of God’s power and faithfulness, yet forget all of this when any problem surfaces. “Boo-hoo,” we cry, when unhappy events, big or small, occur and we remain fixated on our self-reliance to get us through. Even the most stanch Christian, it seems, buckles under pressure. Sadly, most of us have more faith in our own abilities than in God’s.
