List of Archived Articles
This index gives links to the articles formerly on the Birthpangs website, but which have now been moved to the Archive Website of Cross+Word. In most cases they are identical to their counterparts there, although one or two may have been updated.
The topics of the archives relate to my earlier "discernment" work, and cover such areas as the Latter Rain, Restoration or Shepherding, the Toronto Blessing, Cell Churches, the Emerging Church and various false teachings and heresies.
