Everyone is welcome to register, login, and reply to the article posts found in this weblog.
If you need some guidance exploring this weblog, here are a few suggestions on where to begin:
- If you are interested primarily in the request and response of the submission I made to church leadership in 2019, then the article post “Neither Safe nor Right” would be the best place to begin.
- If you are interested in why this weblog exists, then the “About” page would be a good place to begin.
- If you are interested in a full chronological context of some of issues I have observed, then a good place to begin would be the oldest article post “Fruits of a Living Faith” and click the “Next” button to work your way forward to newer posts.
Regardless of where you begin a word of caution is in order: The truth can be painful, I know, it was painful for me to learn how the truth has been obscured by misconceptions, deceptions (2 Timothy 4:3-4), and traditions of men (Colossians 2:8). You may want to begin slowly, and proceed only as you are able (1 Corinthians 3:2-3). By the grace of God, I rediscovered the truth in a slow trickle over several years, but here it may hit you like a torrent from a fire-hose! Ultimately, the cost of the pain will be worth it because the truth leads to freedom (John 8:31-32).
“Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple. For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost […] So therefore, any one of you who does not renounce all that he has cannot be my disciple.”
(Luke 14:27…33)
In any case, please do not despair — God desires that no one perish but all come to the knowledge of the truth (1 Timothy 2:3-6). I hope that you will seek the truth, find the content here useful, and join the conversation!
