“God has revealed his purposeful sovereignty over good and evil in order to humble human pride, intensify human worship, shatter human hopelessness, and put ballast in the battered boat of human faith, steel in the spine of human courage, gladness in the groans of affliction, and love in the heart that sees no way forward.”
― John Piper, Providence

“The teachings here really blur the lines, you know? I mean, the first thing that they do is tell you that there is no such thing as good and evil. They remove the boundaries between what you think is good and what you think is bad. After a while, everything is relative. From day one, we are taught that pain is the result of desire, and enlightenment is giving yourself over to where boundaries no longer exist. Oh yeah, they love that. That way, when you feel the pain of them raping you, it is your problem—not theirs!”

“We recently walked through essential traits of a church according to the Bible, and they’re fairly simple and straightforward: •Preach his Word. •Share the gospel. •Pray fervently and frequently. •Worship together. •Give together. •Love one another. •Help one another grow in Christ. •Commit our lives together to making disciples and multiplying churches among the nations, no matter what it costs us.*1”
