Proverbs 14:15 says, 'Only simpletons believe everything they are told!  The prudent carefully consider their steps.'  It is a noble quest to seek answers to questions of orthodoxy (correct Biblical interpretation).  Acts 17:10-12 tells us that the Bereans questioned even the apostles Paul and Silas when they taught in the synagogue.  Verse 11 says, "They (the Bereans) searched the Scriptures day after day to check up on Paul and Silas, to see if  they were really teaching the truth." (NLT)   And the Bereans were considered more noble than those in Thessalonica because of their questioning.  

We at CRJournal.com believe that God has started a revolution!  The basis of this revolution is to counteract the unbiblical stance of some ministers who are using their leadership roles to treat the children of God under their care with force and cruelty (Ezekiel 34:1-10).  The cries of the hurt, abused, abandoned, ripped off, manipulated and oppressed have not fallen on deaf ears.  God is the Great Shepherd, and he will not be mocked by the likes of such men or women who mistreat the sheep in His name to further establish their own power and wealth.

And so, out of a quest for Truth, we pose these thoughts, write these articles and debate these issues to stand humbly ready with a defense for what we believe and to bring reform to the Charismatic Church.

"Error never shows itself in its naked reality, in order not to be discovered.  On the contrary, it dresses elegantly,  so that the unwary may be led to believe that it is more truthful than truth itself."    -Irenaeus of Lyons
