Todd Bentley and the "Florida Outpouring"

For those of you who have followed "Apostle" Todd Bentley and his Florida meetings, you may be aware that things took a sad turn this week when Mr. Bentley and his wife separated.

John Piper has a sobering article about this "movement" and others like it. It's worth the read.

Why is it so easy to get caught up in movements of men? This one, didn't fool me, but I have been tripped up by other movements of men.

I had never heard of Todd Bentley until just now when I looked him up on YouTube and saw some of his disturbing "healings" and a message about how "God told him" to kick an old lady in the face, drop kick a pastor, and a few other acts of assault. Scary stuff. Even more scary was the laughter from the crowd as he told these stories.

Last I checked, gentleness was a fruit of the spirit!
