Liberty in Christ

Posted onSeptember 19, 2010Leave a comment

What is liberty? What liberty does Jesus give us? We need to know what He has for us, what the Christian life can offer. Why is it that Jesus would even talk about liberty and yet give commands? Do we Read More …

Posted onApril 22, 2010April 22, 20108 Comments

Last night, I had my last Facebook fling. I was adding a few friends, despite a hesitation in my spirit: “Don’t do that.” As I left my computer to go to bed, I felt that something was not right, as Read More …

You may wonder what the above has to do with each other. Rest assured, there is a connection! We celebrated Jesus’ resurrection yesterday—triumphing over sin, death, the grave, the Pharisees, Satan, and the Law of Moses. Yes, the Law of Read More …

It’s Not an Easy Road

Posted onMarch 28, 2010Leave a comment

Shredded Bibles: NIV and Head Covering

Posted onFebruary 4, 20102 Comments

Last week I wrote about shredded Bibles that are missing vital truths of Scripture. God showed me something about head covering that relates to the “shredded Bibles”. I wrote about long hair not being the covering of 1 Cor. 11 Read More …

Stand Fast in Liberty

Posted onJanuary 25, 2010Leave a comment

I am amazed at the ways some people will seek to put us under the Old Covenant. It is akin to finding reasons for going to jail, or going to a monastery. It is bondage. God says: Stand fast therefore 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

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.
