Go! And Test The Prophets - Deuteronomy 18:22 Series

Contributed by Dean Courtier on Oct 3, 2025

In a world of social media influencers, self-proclaimed prophets, false teachers, and endless noise, we are bombarded with voices that claim to offer truth, hope, and direction. But not every voice is from God. Some may sound spiritual or wise, but they do not carry the authority of the Lord.

Ambassador In Chains

True strength isn’t power or control, but courage — the boldness to speak Christ’s truth even in chains.
