Start Here

If you’re new to Reformed Journey, welcome—I’m so glad you’re here.

This blog is written for anyone who is:

  • Questioning the Charismatic or Word of Faith movement

  • Trying to reconcile their personal experiences with Scripture

  • Looking for biblical clarity after years of confusion

  • Hoping to reach friends or family still caught in experience-based theology

I’ve been where you are. This blog isn’t about bitterness or criticism for its own sake—it’s about truth, and the peace and freedom that come from submitting to the authority of God’s Word.

Here are a few foundational posts to get you started:

As you explore, I pray you’ll find truth, grace, and hope. And if you’re unsure where to begin, just start with the Bible—and keep going.

God Told Me: A Westminster View

Image
I was just standing up after the last song in the front few rows of the church we had just attended. I stretched as I looked around for people I needed to talk to. Out of the corner of my eye, a lady, whom we knew, who had supported us, approached me with a smile. She was a kind and friendly lady and prayed for us regularly, which, of course, we appreciated greatly. However, we knew her to be a Christian who firmly believed God gave her visions and dreams for other people. She shook my hand and said, “As I was sitting in church, I saw you and God gave me a word for you, God told me……”  In many churches today, across various denominations—not exclusive to the charismatic church—you will hear well-meaning Christians say, “God told me…,” or “God spoke to me about…,” or “God showed me…” While most often associated with Pentecostal and Charismatic churches, this language is also common throughout Evangelicalism, including some Reformed churches.  One of the most influential books p...

The 1.3 billion Catholics in the world have a new Pope. Leo the XIV. In the time of the reformers, he would have been welcomed by the protestants of the day as the Antichrist. As modern-day protestants, we can, and should agree, that at the very least the Pope is the leader of an idolatrous theology, which includes the rejection of justification of faith alone, the claims of papal infallibility and the veneration and/or outright worship of Mary and the saints.  But is Pope Leo XIV the Antichrist?  Because I grew up in a Pentecostal charismatic church, it follows that I had a Dispensational Premillennial understanding of end-time events. This means that the Antichrist was always just over the horizon. He would be a charismatic political leader, possibly from Europe, who would one day sign a peace treaty with Israel, rebuild the temple in Jerusalem, and unleash global deception during a seven-year Tribulation. Scriptures like Daniel 9, 2 Thessalonians 2, and Revelation 13 were i...

God spoke Jesus into existence??

Image
“So when he created the first man, he just spoke him into existence and just like that, it happened. But after sin entered this earth, after we gave that dominion to Satan, God still had to speak the second Adam into existence, but he had to do it through people. And the reason it took 4,000 years after the fall of Adam and Eve for Jesus to show up was because he couldn’t speak directly independent of people, he had to speak through people, and there were just very, very, very few people who were in tune enough with the Lord to be able to hear these things and speak these things forth.”                                                                                                                    ...
