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.
My church went through a long series which emphasized that Matthew 18:15-17 was to be used in conflict resolution. This just didn't sit right with me. The more I listened the more I began questioning in my mind. I saw it myself that using these scriptures for everyday conflict just doesn't work. Taking two or three people to witness the second confrontation seemed wrong to me also. What is their purpose? I realized that these were the words of Jesus and Jesus is never wrong but I couldn't put my finger on it. Thanks for posting this site. Now I know the real meaning about Matthew 18:15-17.
