An Open Rebuke of Allen Parr

An Open Rebuke of Allen Parr

A very unfortunate podcast to have to put out, but this has gone too far. We're praying for brother Allen Barr of 'The Beat' to come to truth and truly repent. These matters ARE important- and we're going to talk through some of this today. Praying this serves you all!

It's RECKLESS To Do This By Yourself

It's RECKLESS To Do This By Yourself

These are deceptive times, and we live in a Christian culture that is Biblically illiterate and Spiritually immature. How RECKLESS it is when people are then pushed off to go read and learn on their own, like children without the tools from discipleship to be able to discern the truth. 


This is so very important, and we will not let up speaking of these things, as scripture so strongly urges us to! Visit www.APbiblechurch.com for more!

BETHEL UNMASKED : What's REALLY Going on in Redding, CA?!

BETHEL UNMASKED : What's REALLY Going on in Redding, CA?!

What all of our 'Road to Bethel' podcasts have been leading to, Bethel Unmasked. We're so very thankful to our brother & sister in Christ to share their first-hand knowledge and experiences with the incredibly dangerous and UN-Biblical actions of Bethel Church in their hometown of Redding, CA. 

This is definitely a long one, so pause and come back if you need, but the damage of Bethel church is serious- and it's infecting most every church today. It is important to know this information so you can be discerning of these wolves. 

There will be more podcasts to come as we look through the individual areas and see what's truly going on- from those who are there seeing it first hand. For more- visit www.APbiblechurch.com!

Let's Revisit Romans 13 Now, Shall We?

Let's Revisit Romans 13 Now, Shall We?

It was one of the hottest verses for Christians to throw around over the past few years- Romans 13. The "Biblical proof" that we obey our wonderful government 100% because God says so.  Really? 

We tried talking about this when Trump was ruling and no one wanted to hear it, now with the Biden take over... maybe we're ready to listen.
