    When Doubt Is Called Proof

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 27, 2025
     | 196 views

    True prophets invite testing; a claim that denial proves authenticity is a closed loop and never the biblical measure of God’s voice.

    Opening – The Self-Proving Prophet Let me start with a single, startling sentence: > “One proof I have that I am a prophet of God is if you deny that it is so.” Let it sink in. It sounds clever at first, like a riddle that wins no matter how you answer. If you agree, the claim is ...read more

    A leader is not born, and not made in times of crisis, but are revealed to the world when crisis struck. Today's crisis has revealed a lack of leadership in the church.

    In today's world, knowing what to do in times of crisis can give a nation or a person the needed advantage to overcome adverse situations. But a shortfall of not knowing what to do can spell more trouble, anxiety, and fear in the midst of uncertainty and a wanting leadership. And this true in ...read more
