The purpose of this blog is to comfort people in Christian Churches today who are hurting because of spiritual abuse. We go to church to worship our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We expect to feel love and friendship. Unfortunately in many churches today because of the evil that is in this world worshipers are being emotionally and psychologically hurt. Please remember you are not alone. Other are hurting. Jesus loves you and if you have placed your trust in Him, He will be beside you and comfort you. Hopefully some of the posts in our blog will help you to deal with the hurt and realize that you may be dealing with a Pastor or Church Board that is manipulative and abusive.

Are you being silenced?
Is the leadership of your church attempting to silence you? Do you have concerns that are not being addresses without you jumping through many hoops if at all? Does your church distort the meaning of Matthew 18:15-17? (See my earlier post on the meaning of Matthew 18:15-17.) Do you hear words such as "good report", "evil report"? Does your leadership add to the scripture to make their own point? If you answered yes to these questions you might be dealing with a church that has been patterned after the teaching and style of Bill Gothard. Recovering Grace has many good reads about Gothard and his teachings. http://www.recoveringgrace.org/2014/03/silencing-the-lambs-twisting-matthew-18/
