Links of Note on the Lakeland/Bentley Fallout

I mentioned in my last post that Blog-land is lit up with commentary on the Lakeland revival, particularly the recent news of Todd Bentley’s separation from his wife, in the light of his recent “apostolic alignment.”

Now, I’m not especially interested when people just use their blogs for useless venom-spewing, name-calling and mockery–even if I happen to agree with their opinions. To me, that approach damages credibility, and the only people that approach reaches are other people who are already likewise pissed off. But when someone shares an honest opinion in a fair manner and makes you think–even if the opinion is a strong one…that’s the kind of thing I think is healthy to the conversation.

That said…here are some links to blog postings I think contain significant food for thought…

• Barb at A Former Leader’s Journey issues a Call for Honesty, including some video links that call the apostolic movement to account.
• Nate at The Jesus Paradigm calls the thinking behind the revival into question, even above the miracles themselves.
• Grace at kingdom grace–strong opinions given here, but another important call to account.
• And Brother Maynard’s posts here and here.
