Wisdom is Justified by Her Deeds

 I hope everyone is warm. I hate that we had to cancel the Sunday service, but I went ahead and recorded a short announcement that I want you all to be aware of, and I recorded the sermon that would have otherwise preached. 

I wanted to have something for all of us to watch while we're cooped up at home, and I also wanted to stay on track for my sermon schedule. Usually a sermon schedule is not too important, but I really wanted to share some specific stories THIS week, and I really wanted to speak on a specific topic next week. I didn't think they would work to postpone them a week. 

The sermon is now available to watch on our Youtube Channel (9am, January 25). Click the picture, or the link below to see it.

A Prophecy that made this guy LEAVE Wellspring!

Shawn Lazar's testimony  Last week, I posted A Sad Story with a Surprise Ending  about the topic of fake prophets manufacturing things that look like prophetic words. At Wellspring, we had to make a decision about what to do with the invalid prophetic trickery that's going on out there. We decided it would be an overreaction to stop our own ministry. We decided it would be an under-reaction to just carry on without mentioning anything.  Instead, I made last week's post as a step toward transparency and addressing this issue head-on. On Sunday, when we do our own stage prophetic ministry, we will address the fake stuff going on and invite people into critically testing every word.  Today, I want to do two things. First, I want to give the link to a video and a paper that I put together to explain how to categorize prophetic words and subsequently test them. Click here to watch the video and/or read the paper Types, Tests, and Shelves for Prophetic words . Second, I wa...

This couldn’t wait...

Jerry, serving in the snack room at VBS As of the writing of this post, it’s 3:00 am. I woke up, realizing I hadn’t actually organized strategic prayer for Jerry Slagle yet, and this is no small matter. The original plan was to send out a VBS recap email, but that can wait until next week. Jerry has been fighting cancer for more than two years. Recently, he was given a very sad and scary report from his doctors that he only has limited time left, less than a year. However, two weeks before he got the report, a person on our prayer team had a dream that we believe was from God, telling us that “we need to pray for Jerry.”  Here is the text from that dream: Two weeks ago I had a very intense dream about Jerry Slagle.  In the dream, I knew that he was in a life or death scenario (I assumed the cancer). I was outside somehow gathering people together. We (church members) began urgently alerting each other one by one. Instinctively we began to form a path with people strategically ...

VBS and Plasma Cannons

  Two weeks ago, we had one of the largest VBS weeks in Wellspring history. This year, as in other years, we heard testimonies of kids starting their discipleship journeys with Jesus, encountering God, and hearing his voice. One of the things I love about VBS is that everyone gets really into it. I am usually in the Bible Drama Room, where we put on skits that include a fun science experiment and end with a moment where we minister to the kids.  I never get the idea that the BDR people are "too cool" to get really into it. On the contrary, sometimes I step back and marvel that a bunch of tired, working adults would spend so much time working on a skit for kids. This year the the Main Stage actors worked even harder! They were up at the church rehearsing numerous evenings and afternoons. The fact is, the whole church comes together to pour themselves out for the kingdom, and the love and care shows.  Click here to see Photos from VBS 2025 - Kingdom Climbers Click here to s...
