@docfloweazy @ScottAniol I don’t think anyone reading the Bible would come to that conclusion. You were influenced by outside sources to believe that. Sola Scriptura
I wanted to let you all know that you can financially support Jane Doe and her family's need for counseling here.
Thank you so much to those who put this fund together and all those who are contributing to it!

Parents, one of the surest ways to teach your children the Gospel is to ask them to forgive you when you sin against them.
Let them know that you need God's grace too.
Children don't need perfect parents, they need humble parents who show them the way to God's throne of grace.
A fascinating and very unusual icon of the crucifixion with a vantage point from behind the cross. Christ is facing Jerusalem as well as armies of hostiles pointing their spears at him. One crucified Jewish man, against the whole world.
Today we celebrated Black History Month and Lunar New Year in our worship services.
As one of our Elders said, a healthy multiethnic church can celebrate both on the same day and not lose anything in the process.
There is an active situation involving shots fired at Lakewood. Law enforcement is on the scene.
That is all the information we have at this time. Please pray for Lakewood and our community.
@Joel7Richardson What exactly does it mean at this point to take “allegations very seriously”? Another round of soundly criticising those who bring them and calling for them to be investigated?
📢 "The Lord... will suddenly come to His temple, even the Messenger of the Covenant, “But who can endure the day of His coming? And who can stand when He appears? For He is like a refiner’s fire and like launderers’ soap" - Mal. 3:1-3 (Min. 43 on video)

Dear Church: can we please put a permanent moratorium on calling women “witches” and “Jezebels” from the platform? It is really offensive and dishonoring of women, and quite honestly, it makes many of us feel unsafe and unloved in the church.
So please, sincerely, let’s STOP saying that about any woman, anywhere… *even* if you don’t agree with her politics or life choices.
But let’s especially not accuse a woman of “witchcraft” when she courageously finds her voice, bares her deepest wounds, and says “yeah, so someone raped me too” or “I’ve never shared this before because I was too ashamed and scared, but someone sexually abused me too.” That is just plain cruel, it’s absurd, and it’s about as far from the heart of Jesus as you can possibly get.
I had many bad experiences with @ihopkc leaders, including some who are now in the AG. But in my experience @allenshood’s leadership was a bright light of humility, empathy, and sanity in a culture that incentivized spiritual abuse and dysfunction.
I know my father @allenshood. He is not a perfect man, but he is a good man. I have seen him at his best, and as all children do, I have seen him at his worst. He’s a sinner being saved by grace.
But my father is not a liar. In 28 years of being his son, I have NEVER witnessed him “lie to my face.”
Seeing Kurt Fuller, the Director of IHOPKC, accuse my Dad of being a liar from the same stage @allenshood faithfully ministered from for over 20 years breaks my heart.
It’s clear Kurt Fuller “doesn’t know these men.” He doesn’t know my father.
But the other IHOPKC leaders there that my family walked with for two decades do know Allen. To my knowledge not a single leader at IHOPKC has spoken out and defended my father’s integrity.
That’s something I can’t shake.
As the leader of a praying church and movement of churches that have been greatly impacted by @ihopkc - I join my voice to other national leaders and former IHOPKC leaders calling upon the @ihopkc leadership to immediately bring in a mutually agreed upon, impartial, independent third party investigator. This has gone on long enough.
