Lonnie Frisbee’s Deathbed Prophecy Comes to Pass
On his deathbed in 1993, Lonnie Frisbee made a revelation to Pastor Greg Laurie that left Laurie in disbelief. It’s something Laurie says he has never told anyone publicly—until now.
Frisbee, one of the main characters in the smash hit film “Jesus Revolution,” told Laurie that God had shown Frisbee that he was going to once again preach to thousands of people. The first thing that came to Laurie’s mind was “that’s not going to happen.”
Laurie, who serves as the senior pastor of Harvest Christian Fellowship in Riverside, California and the founder of Harvest Crusades, now humbly admits he was sorely mistaken about that.

Methodist Church Abandons Terms ‘Husband’ and ‘Wife’ in Latest Slide
Continuing down the path of apostasy, the Methodist Church in the United Kingdom has made a drastic shift away from the traditional biblical definition of marriage. The denomination has released an “Inclusive Language Guide” that encourages ministers to avoid using terms like “husband” and “wife” and instead opt for gender-neutral terms such as “partner” and “parent.” This move is a clear departure from the biblical definition of marriage as a union between one man and one woman.
The guide, which is updated every six months, suggests that relationships come in many different forms and that using “parent,” “partner” and “child” are good ways to start a conversation. This recommendation is in stark contrast to the biblical teaching of marriage as a lifelong, monogamous relationship between a man and a woman, as laid out in Genesis 2:24: “Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother and be joined to his wife, and they will become one flesh..”
The Methodist Church’s new stance also promotes the use of chosen pronouns to honor a person’s identity, as well as encouraging the use of gender-neutral titles such as “Mx.” These changes are being made in the name of inclusivity and to avoid “demonizing” or “marginalizing” certain groups in society.
