But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.  (Galatians 5:18) This is the answer to the question of the Law: walk in the Spirit. Led by God’s Spirit, we can walk in obedience to Read More …

Vision

Posted onJanuary 17, 2010Leave a comment

I have heard about “vision” and family vision and such. There is even an organization called “Vision Forum”. But what is “vision”? One day I read in my Bible: Proverbs 29:18 Where there is no vision, the people perish: but Read More …

The Law

Posted onJanuary 17, 2010Leave a comment

God is Not a Conservative

Posted onJanuary 10, 2010Leave a comment

Disclaimer

This blog is a real-time journal of a journey out of a cult. When I began this blog in 2010, I was in an abusive situation, held captive by years of programming that told me I needed to submit more, obey more, shut up, and be quiet. As a result, the early entries are laced with the toxicity of the cult teachings and legalism that I was under at the time.

Since then, my life has drastically changed. I broke free from the cult teachings and have been slowly learning to follow Jesus instead of legalistic garbage. It's been a long, hard slog.

This means that there are many posts on this blog that I no longer agree with or hold to be true. I could go back through and delete or hide them; however, at this point, I choose to leave them visible. They are the journal entries of a man leaving abuse and legalism and coming into the light of day. They provide a raw, unfiltered look at "where I was". Take them for what they are.

And if you find something you disagree with, there's a good chance that I would now disagree with it as well.
