Paul’s Prayer for the Ephesians ... for this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I ask that out of the riches of His glory He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your h...

Someone recently mentioned here that VH is very good at dotting his "i"s and crossing his "t"s, which I think is true. That being the case, I think I see the argument he's trying to make here, and technically it has enough truth to it to get past the sniffer dogs. However, as the...

...when the question of planting came up in my mind, my only thought was, "It can't be here; I'd have to live a lie". To stay would have meant turning a blind eye to things I knew were dishonest. This guy/girl gets it! I'm glad I'm not the only one who felt that dissonance. Pray that more...

Besides the planting theology, another persuasive argument I've heard directed towards an exiting member is, "These are your songs," referring to the literal choruses that they sing at xCF. My answer: "I'm sorry, sir. Since they axed the Wylie and Scripture In Song repertoire of the 7...

I had that line about being planted at BCF used on me too.

Why do the XFs give him so much control and airtime Somebody once told me, “Don’t feel like you have to hold onto a mistake just because you spent a long time making it.” Or something like that. Basically, aside from the manipulation at play, I think many people have invested so much of their lives...

The bigger question of why lies within our legal/political system. There are very weak laws about coercive control in Australia, so it’s quite difficult to prove they have actually committed a crime. As well as the fact that very rich conservative lobby groups such as the Australian Christian Lobby...

This was because teaching at that time was to not engage with anyone on the brink of leaving, or those who’ve left. This is one of the biggest red flags that should trouble any genuine and devout Christian. Have they not read the parable of the lost sheep? ““What man among you, who has 100 sheep an...
