MY TAKE: To all readers of this material on www.georgebakalov.com This is significant and it's part of the Reformation! Many leaders, even those who talk about reformation, try to sell the Body of Christ some version of a "nice" reformation coming. However, Reformation HAS NEVER BEEN A PRETTY THING! It comes because of pain, it causes pain (by opening eyes to the true condition of the Church) but it ultimately HEALS the real pain in the Church, which is the sickness of corruption that currently dominates the Church. Prepare to hear more and more people "going on record"! And I am telling you, THIS IS A SIGN that reformation is finally coming. There is no building without tearing down first! There is no planting without rooting out first. And when this happens, when people begin to unload it, the religious response is: "Wow, is he bitter about something? Why the railing?" Friends, when we move beyond this learned response and begin to hear the voice within the voice, only then we qualify to begin to be part of the process. As long as the Church tries to be "positive" and "nice" about everything, we'll get nowhere. Reformation is a time to tell it LIKE IT IS! Go, Donnie!  read more..

Many today are attempting to say that the "temple" is not important. They try to deal with the problem of dead churches and dead Christianity by scrapping the whole idea with the temple. Recently I was sharing with someone how dissatisfied I am with the Sunday morning format of what we call "church" today. Then went on to explain to him how I'm still busy planting churches. He looked at me and said: "So why would you still work to build the temple?". This brother is totally immersed in the "marketplace" revolution and in his mind there couldn't be one good reason for someone to want to work toward planting churches.  read more..

On this date in 1415 Jan Huss was burned to the stake. The council of Constance urged Hus to recant in order to save his life, but to the majority of its members he was a dangerous heretic fit only for death. When he refused to recant, he was solemnly sentenced on July 6, 1415, and burned at the stake.  read more..
