Pandemic And Presidential Prophecy - Does God Give Ministry Mulligans When Prophecy Is Wrong?

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Mar 23, 2020

2020 was a year full of Prophecies about the ending of the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as the USA Presidential election, that can be added to the proliferation of so-called prophecies over the last 30+ years that were completely wrong.

HOW DOES GOD PLANT A CHURCH? CHURCH PLANTING is something like what a farmer does, he plants the seed, cultivates the seed, fertilizes the seed and then patiently waits for it to grow.
