The Long for Truth Show

John Alexander Dowie was a popular faith healer in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He claimed to have miraculous powers to heal, and yet when his daughter was involved in a tragic accident his powers of healing were nowhere to be found.

The apostle Paul makes it very clear that to add anything to the Gospel of Christ is a damnable offense. Galatians 1:8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed. By making div...

We continue our series on "Tounges Before Parham. This time we take a look at the tongue-speaking Mormons.

Charles Fox Parham was born on June 4, 1873. He is typically referred to as “the father of Pentecostalism,” particularly teaching that the evidence that one received the baptism of the Holy Spirit was speaking in tongues. But if this is the case, it would mean that other groups before Parham who spoke in tongues had also received the baptism of the Spirit, even heretical groups. And yes, there wer...

We are going to be looking at another news article. This one is from "The Nebraska State Journal," October 9, 1887. In it, the reporter covers a Woodworth healing/revival meeting where he makes this not so surprising statement, "the frenzy and excitement were almost indescribable.” Here is the YouTube link! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMU67LigN2g

Maria Woodworth Etter (1844-1924) was a popular evangelist/faith healer in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. She became popular because of the strange occurrences that took place at her evangelistic meetings. People would go into trances and report seeing strange visions, fall on the floor and lay there for hours, shake violently, cry, weep, and do many other similar things you see in modern...

Charles Fox Parham, "the father of Pentecostalism," came to Zion City Illinois in 1906 right after the fall of John Alexander Dowie. He took advantage of the vulnerable followers of Dowie and won them over. Within just 10 days of his arrival, he had over 300 followers. After leaving Zion, some of his followers, named "the Paramites" by the newspapers, were involved in several brutal killings. Here...

Carol Goodenough was the teenage daughter of the Goodenough's who provided a cottage for Lake and his family to live in after they arrived in South Africa as missionaries from 1908- 1913. In 1909 Lake returned to the States in order to raise funds for his mission work there. On the ship was 17 year old Carol Goodenough. She was returning to the States by the direction of her brother to go to schoo...

John Graham Lake is held up by popular Charismatic leaders to be a great man of God, who performed over 100,000 healings in his time. Yet all one has to do is a little digging to find out that this isn’t the case at all. John G. Lake was actually a liar, a con, and a fraud. This is audio from our YouTube video.

This week we spend a few minutes looking at the Lauren Daigle controversy and then dive into false prophet Charlie Shamp's personal prophecy for you and for Boston.

On this episode of L4T we're going to be asking the question, does Beth Moore and Joyce Meyer have gnostic tendencies? Do they teach a form of Gnosticism? I believe the answer to the question is yes. I show the similarities between the Gnostic teaching on prayer, dreams, and visions, and what Moore and Myer have said about prayer, dreams, and visions in the past.

Mike Bickle says that if someone comes to him with a dream or a vision, unless it is in the written Word of God he will not accept it. But is that true? In this episode I talk, once again, with Tony-Allen. Tony and I discuss Mike Bickle's view of Scripture and examine the YouTube video- "Ask Mike Bickle: Are dreams and visitations higher than the Word of God?"

On this episode Steve, Eric Pedersen and I talk with Tony-Allen of the "Design of Providence" podcast about the dangers of Mike Bickle and IHOP KC. Tony has done extensive research on IHOP, has been to the "One Thing" conferences, talked with leaders within the movement, and has visited the 24/7 prayer rooms.

In a video called called "Refuse to Give Up," Joyce Meyer turns the passage in Luke 18 about the persistent widow into a prosperity passage. She also gets the story of Abraham and Sodom all mixed up. Benny Hinn says that if you study a passage of Scripture deep enough, you can experience a bodily disconnect.

On this episode we look at a Facebook Video by Jennifer LeClaire called "Christian Witches? Let Me Tell You What's Next..." Then we listen to a small part of another Facebook video by Georgian Banov about his "evangelistic meeting in Glasgow. Next, we look at a blog post by Doug Addison called "Why You Don't Need to Be Afraid of Angels." After listening to all this wacky heresy, we cleanse our min...

Steve and I talked with the Outback Berean, Erik Pedersen, about his time in the Charismatic movement, how he was led out of it, how he came to embrace the Biblical Gospel, and other important issues concerning the modern Church.

On this episode we start a new series on the dangerous teachings of Mike Bickle. We show that the entire foundation of his IHOP "movement" is based on the false prophesies and lies of Bob Jones.

We do a recap of last week's podcast and show the connection between Bill Johnson & Bethel church in Redding, CA with the "Christian" witch group known as Christ Alignment. We then tackle Psalm 46:10 and put it back in its context.

Psychic readings, tarot cards, and divination are promoted by Bethel Church in Redding California. Listen, as Steve and I rant about this thing called the "encounter gospel."

We are talking about the book "Jesus Calling" again, and showing how this popular book is a Gnostic prayer book.

Today we look at the context of Jeremiah 29:11 and put it back in its God-honoring place. Then we take a brief look at Gnosticism and how it even affected the first century church.

In this episode, Dan and Steve Long share a conversation with Steve Kozar about his article on "The Messed Up Church" blog called "Defusing Demonic Dirty Bombs."

Dan and Steve Long review a sermon from Rick Warren of Saddleback Church called "What to Do When You've Had a Business Setback. Warren uses Luke 5:1-11 as his proof text saying "God will bless your business if you let Jesus in your boat.

On this episode we take a look at "Destiny Image," a publishing company started by Don Nori through the mandate of the Lord Jesus Christ Himself right down to the name.
