❤️‍🩹 What a wonder of grace it is when fierce persecutors are converted, for then the wolf lives with the lamb, and men of cruel, ungovernable dispositions become gentle and teachable. This is something that I can’t handle yet. Knowing that at some point I’ll have to hang out with former abusers as ...

For those who haven’t been invited, it’s suggested they continue with house to house agape fellowship on their own initiative. On second reading it does seem more likely that this is a Great Weeding Out. Only the most servile will survive. I vaguely recall one of the pre-eminent RFI leaders years a...

Yes there are false teachers and false prophets outside of xCF, but that does not ipso facto make xCF a paragon of truth. I won't pass judgment here (I leave that to Jesus) but I can't help but ...

Why are the current members condoning such abuse? The short answer is that abuse is rebranded as "sufferings of Christ" or "discipline of the Lord". This is obviously bad on two counts: Firstly it normalises abusive behavior, and secondly it makes it hard to discern our actual s...
