The key person behind this is one of the main, Bethel leadership team, Danny Silk who has written a book by that name. Now, we might have an… Continue reading Bethel, culture of honour and apostles

The word “invasion” seems to be doing a lot of heavy lifting at the moment. It features heavily in the rhetoric about asylum seekers. It also shows up in the titles of a few books connected to Bethel and the New Apostolic Reformation. One book is titled “Invading Babylon” whilst another is called “When Heaven… Continue reading Does heaven invade earth -more reflections on Bethel theology
