Language shapes our reality. God spoke and it was. He then made Adam and Even to cultivate and keep the world and shape it to reflect God's glory. If we want to fight our current battles successfully then we need to reclaim language. If we have any hope of building for future generations, then we need to reclaim language.

The world needs to be shaped after the pattern and likeness God has shown us in His word.
With all the looming issues of our day, many Christians have sought to bolster the idea that our kids, the next generation, will be able to fight and withstand what is coming their way.

Standing on this foundation is the charismatic mania that defines NAR and its many leaders and followers. From claims of healing, prophecies, to glory clouds and God speaking personally to its leaders and followers, the NAR is an attractive appeal to younger generations who see traditional Christianity as cold and dead. Why should you be aware of the NAR? What is the NAR? What do they believe? What do they teach? Why are they so dangerous?
