How to Detect False Teachers in Today’s Church
Pastor Rick Renner, in a recent teaching uploaded to YouTube, delves into the book of Jude to address the danger of false teachers infiltrating the church.
Renner, using detailed Greek translations, warns that the epistle is as relevant today as it was in the first century, exposing leaders who “defile the flesh, despise authority, and speak evil of dignitaries.”
In Jude 8, Renner explains, these “filthy dreamers” justify their immoral actions and show utter disregard for spiritual authority. “They derogatorily speak debasing, nasty, shameful, ugly words toward those in authority who are worthy of honor and respect,” he says, highlighting how such teachers belittle and disrespect those in leadership positions, a practice that continues all too frequently today. Especially with the advent of social media.

Confronting Evil: One Man’s Fight Against Demonic Forces
In an interview with Charisma Media, Pastor Chris Garcia of Father’s Glory International shares his powerful testimony of encountering demonic forces and finding freedom through the gospel.
Growing up in a family with roots in Puerto Rico, Garcia explains that both sides of his family practiced spiritualism, witchcraft and voodoo, especially on his father’s side. His great-grandfather, described as a healer, would invoke spirits for curses and false healings. Looking back on his family’s background, Garcia notes, “Satan is a great counterfeit.”
Although his mother shielded him from these practices, Garcia recounts seeing altars dedicated to deities in family members’ homes, particularly tied to Santeria, a blend of African spiritualism and Roman Catholicism.
