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.")

No stone is left uncovered. A thorough historical survey of the first 300 years of church history and verse by verse studies of key chapters adds compelling evidence as to why tithing is a false teaching for today.  This book will help loosen the bonds of financial voo-doo that the many churches preach today.  It’s a book that your pastor will hate, but that you will love.

The Christian Church: Distorted and Deformed

Jesus never held regularly 
scheduled meetings.

mean specifically?

"The Primacy of Preaching"  ??

There is absolutely nothing whatsoever revealed in God's Word about the primacy and exaltation of a specialist who issues forth a monologue Sunday after Sunday, notwithstanding the literally myriads of messages to the contrary.

See and learn from the Scriptures the Truth.
The Primacy of Preaching

WORD OF ADMONITION:

In the beginning of a change, the true Biblical Christian is a scarce man, being brave, yet hated and scorned by his associates. 
When his cause succeeds, the timid will then join him, for then it costs nothing 
to be a “true Biblical Christian.”

THIS WEEK’S CHURCH 
CATCHPHRASE

MEMBERSHIP

1) A “churches” way to keep the wheels of their institution greased; 2) A methodically orchestrated fraud practiced by “church leaders” to corral people into their sheep pens.

"One cannot be a faithful Christian without faithful church membership.”
​The “church” sells fear so that THEY can become your all in all. 
Jesus says, “Fear Not” 
because HE is your all in all. 
Choose Christ.
THIS WEEK'S BIBLE VERSE

"The Pastoral Office"
LIE OF THE WEEK
“Scripture teaches mandatory obedience to church leaders!”
Trial By Fire - 

When the Lord God will use someone mightily, He will almost always pull them out of their man-centered “church” and their lukewarm friends. 

He isolates them. He tests them. They go through much suffering, persecution, and trials until they are dead to the opinion of others and dead to themselves. 

It is the baptism of FIRE. 

You must walk it alone to be prepared for the Master’s use. 

Almost all “churches” will not tolerate you; most professing Christians will hate you; and the world we mock you.
