Episode 33: Googling Your Glossolalia?
Posted by Steve Bremner on 18th August 2008
Are tongues always a heavenly language, or are they only known languages–or both? Is it Biblical or even a good idea to Google search the tongues you speak to see if they are actual words in other languages? Join us today as our favorite fiery Russian apologist Dima Kurovsky shares his findings after deciding to give it a shot and see if the tongues he prays are actual words in any other languages. The results will make you laugh sometimes, but mostly encourage and surprise you–in a good way.
Hopefully the next show will be with Dan again, and will cover updates on the time in Holland these past weeks.

This week Dan Slavin and Steve Bremner discuss some questions and concepts many skeptics have a hard time with concerning the existence of God and perceptions of His character if He does exist. How could a perfect judge sentence an imperfect creation to infinite punishment for finite sins? Does an all-knowing God create future suffering? Why do bad things happen to good people? Is God really an advocate of slavery in the Bible?
Also, we give a few updates regarding the Fire For Life Summer School and 08.08.08 in a few weeks.
Join us this week as Dan Slavin and Steve Bremner continue to talk about the controversies surrounding the Florida Healing Outpouring (a.k.a. Lakeland Revival) specifically regarding end time deception. Does the Bible really teach there’ll be a massive end time revival before Christ returns? Or will everything get worse and worse? Is good news bad news for doomers and gloomers? We also carefully go through the parable of the wheat and the tares and discuss what is true and false fruit of revival.
How could we jump on the blogging and podcasting bandwagon and NOT include an episode devoted to the hotly debated and controversial Lakeland Revival aka The Florida Healing Outpouring? Join Dan Slavin & Steve Bremner this week as we share testimonies, discuss some of the concerns and criticisms, and Steve shares first-hand experience from attending for himself. Are Todd Bentley’s tattoos really demon-inspired? Do signs and wonders really happen today? Is it possible or normal for Christians to have angelic encounters? Join us as we begin a discussion on these hot topics of the hour.
This week, the sacred cow killing continues as we tackle some theological questions we’ve been asked about divine healing, including: If God wants to heal, then how come He cursed people with sickness and disease in the Old Testament? Were some of the healing commands God gave the disciples only for them to do in their generation? Does Matthew 7:21-23 teach that healing ministers are apostate? Does healing the sick really interfere with God’s sovereignty? How does sowing and reaping play a part in sovereignty and divine healing?
God is restoring power evangelism to the Body of Christ in this hour, so join us as we provide Scriptures to help anchor you in the subject of divine healing, and leave you no excuse for not stepping out and laying your hands on the sick.
A message Dr. Michael L.Brown, president of FIRE School of Ministry, and director of The 
Don’t let the title fool you–this is not specifically an end-times theology podcast. Has the escapist mentality of the generations of Christians before us “waiting for the Rapture to happen” caused distrust of this current generation towards leadership in the here and now? If we believe things are only going to get worse, do we have any hope to see a move of God take place in our generation if we think we’re going to escape “any minute now”? Join Dan & Steve this week as we discuss how negative expectations of the end-times have really hindered the Church from truly stepping out and believing for God to do big and mighty things–TODAY.
How could we have a sacred cow barbecue and not include one of the most controversial topics of all in The Church–MONEY? This week we tear apart a coupe of typical “offering verses”—passages misquoted and used to manipulate the flock of God into giving. Is tithing biblical? Does entering the ministry mean you’ve taken an oath of poverty? Is poverty a sign of spirituality? Is wealth?
The sacred cow killing continues: Are altar calls biblical? Are head coverings really important? Are Christian women really not allowed to be in ministry or teach men? Join us as we go closer than the proverbial ten foot pole to determine what part of the cow needs to be grilled on the barbecue this week, with Dan Slavin and Steve Bremner.
The sacred cow barbecue continues, as Dan and Steve discuss some more unchallenged doctrines in the Body of Christ at large. This week: has knowledge really passed away, along with all the other gifts of the Spirit (1 Cor 13:8)? Should prophets who are wrong only 1% the time be stoned as ‘false’ prophets? Grab your Bible and a cattle prod and join us as we find out. MOO!
Join Dan and Steve as they begin a series on sacred cow theologies and doctrines in the church. What are they and how do we recognize them? Is “seek the Giver, not the gifts.” really written anywhere in the Bible? Do we really have the freedom to ignore the Old Testament because “we’re not under the law but under grace?” Or is everything written in the Old Testament to be heeded with no ifs ands or buts? Was Paul’s thorn in the flesh really a disease and if so/not, what does it matter? Grab your Bible and a pitchfork and get ready to slaughter a couple of cows with us. MOO.
Join Dan and Steve as they tackle the issue of alcohol in the Christian walk, and Jesus the friend of sinners–including the alcoholics and boozers. Does it matter? If so, then why? Is it cultural? Does the Bible encourage or teach abstaining or moderation? Does the church really “reach the lost” in bar settings and pubs? Are we doing enough to reach out to the marginalized in our society?
Bert Dorenbos, director of Cry For Life in the Netherlands shares at the FIRE for Life Summerschool about his ministry and why the Church cannot afford to turn a blind eye to the consequences of abortion in our land. First few minutes are in Dutch, then the rest is in English.
Does music have any impact on us? Should we avoid listening to secular music at all? Is all Christian music lame? Join Dan the man and Stevie B as they pretend to think they have answers to these and the questions you didn’t know you wanted to ask.
