Some people are wanting “certainty”.

But I for one, don’t outsource my thinking!

Thank you Breakfree and Faith Hopegood. Yes, the CF teaching is deliberately and unapologetically putting people into a perpetual state of fear. A literalistic reading of the OT’s narrative of “God’s wrath” sets them up for a retributive reading of the gospel. They base the Fear of God on a fear of ...

Oh and also, I recommend “The Chosen” series.
In the context of this thread, I found episode one to be so healing.
To be seen by Jesus…
to be known by Jesus…
to be named by Jesus

…so wonderful

I’m sorry to hear of your experience Stargazer. Shunning is so very wrong. It’s unhealthy. It’s evil. They are taught to feel betrayed by us.

Thank you guest for your thoughtful encouragement to be careful in what we share. Right on! When I originally loo...

Thank you for bringing this movement to the attention of Streetcar, BR. FYI about 10 years ago I looked into Bill Johnson / NAR / Bethel, because of the many young people leaving the CFs for AOG churches under their influence. I told Vic about this and he said he’d never heard of Bill J etc, and tha...

I posted up an excerpt of the sermon ‘Every Generation Needs to Sell All’ yesterday to see what others thought, before posting up what distressed me about it. Thank you to those who responded. You both wonderfully addressed my first issue which is the dragging in of scripture (here, 1Jn 1:3) to shov...

An excerpt from a sermon by Andrew Hay 17July 2022 EVERY GENERATION NEEDS TO SELL ALL “Selling all is the theme of the parable of the treasure in the field. Matt 13:44 Of course we have noted that the thing that he was joyfully selling to buy all, was the field. Let us look at the corresponding pass...
