Thanks. Right on. It’s amazing the abuse of supposed grace that goes on in churches. Romans 6 revisited only they “keep on sinning so grace will increase” and don’t realize they are slaves to unrighteousness and sin. It really grieves me. I was becoming one of them until the Lord snatched me out.

@Michael – It seems like some almost worship John Piper. when I started to read and write his stuff I couldn’t find much to disagree with.

@chet – Praise God.

@SLW – Thanks for stopping by and reading. I pray God blesses your ministry!

@will – I am amazed at how similar the stories are of those who come from whacked out churches. I agree with the theology shifting.

Carl,
You said in one blog what I would take 20 to say! Thanks for allowing the voice of a prophet to flow through you.

Wow! John Piper has a great message and it sure dovetails with what you are concerned about. Thanks Carl.

You seem to be describing some churches I’ve had first hand experience in.

From my meager experience, I’ve found that there’s been compromise in the lead guy’s life in some way, and he developed a theology around it in order to justify himself.

Then, the church collapses, he and his team move on and leave a bunch of spiritually unhealthy people in his wake.

Thank God for liberty. Thank God even more for mature love that refuses to see people hurt from our liberty.
