Wicked Shepherds.com and recommended reading
Here are some of the best books on the market today for anyone who has been, or is presently involved in an abusive church environment.  

For the individual who has broken free; for the person who is still trapped in the "system" and cannot escape; and for the actual abusers themselves who are caught up in their "authority gone wild," these  books will stir your soul.  They are excellent.  

You will not be disappointed.

Check them out at your local Christian book store, or they are available right now on amazon.com.  


(Amazon.com has probably the best price available anyway.  For your convenience, I placed the link for the books to go straight to amazon.  Just highlight your mouse over the book cover and "click.")

THIS WEEK’S CHURCH 
CATCHPHRASE

God’s House

1) Supposedly, a structure where the duly-authorized clergy conduct their religious ceremonies; 2) A “churches” prominent catch-phrase, manipulating people into their man-made structures.

“Let us gather together at God’s House for worship and to sing 
His praises!”
I POST THINGS THAT YOUR “CHURCH” AND “PASTOR” 
DOESN’T WANT YOU TO KNOW. 
AND GUESS WHAT?

"The Pastoral Office"
LIE OF THE WEEK
“The Bible emphasizes the primacy of preaching during Sundays corporate worship services!”
One of the greatest enemies to the Body of Christ is organized religion. 
Jesus clearly foresaw and plainly foretold the great conflict between His people and organized religion: "They shall put you out of the synagogues; yea, the time comes, that whosoever kills you will think that they do God service." John 16:2 

Every great religious awakening since John preached in the wilderness has been led by consecrated and fearless men and women who were ostracized and persecuted by “church people” because the Truth they preached was disintegrating 
to their religious institutions.
“When the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?”
