@ChristandGuitar 💯 unfortunately this still happens today within the church . People make idols of men .
An example of this is John MacArthur who many evangelicals follow and defend without discernment!
@farmingandJesus Sadly this is happening in Protestant circles . Conservative reformed circles protect and cultivate perverse individuals in the church .
Mauricio Calderon speaks out regarding the lawsuit against Grace Community Church.
Thank you Mauricio for your integrity.
This one hurts to listen to because JMac’s sermon he mentions is also the one that led my husband to surrender to Christ 😔

Seventeen years ago, a John MacArthur sermon led Mauricio Calderon to Christ. Grace Community Church became his family.
Now he says the church that saved his life also risked it — and he's suing. Hear his story on our latest podcast.

A former employee at @GraceComChurch (GCC) says the church lied to him & his coworkers, exposing them & their families to deadly asbestos.
On this podcast, he tells his harrowing story & talks about the damage GCC did—not just to his body but his soul

@farmingandJesus Conservative churches are contributing much more harm to the church body because they preach and teach but do not live by what they proclaim
@farmingandJesus I hate to see this representation of Christianity and so should you . God’s people are being misled and hurt . The reformer Martin Luther did not love to see people being misled or abused and nailed his 95 theses confronting the leadership
@farmingandJesus sad, people walking away from churches because of false teaching or abuse . Many people get discouraged from leaders ! Steve Lawson was one that had discouraged many Christian’s after his preaching against sin to having a affair with a young lady
@farmingandJesus Being hurt by shepherds can have devastating effects on a Christian’s spiritual life . We must have empathy for our brothers and sisters who have been hurt and hold accountable church leaders who abuse the flock .
@GalenBalinski@reachjulieroys@GraceComChurch Condescending , I encouraged you to look to scripture and read Paul’s epistles to Timothy, and seek the truth and not show favoritism. If this offends you then I would recommend by all means don’t read 1&2 Timothy as it would offend you tremendously.
