But this book by Johnson and Vanvonderen is different. Drawing upon years of ministry experience as pastor and counselor (respectively), they examine the fine line between Biblical leadership and abuse. Without mentioning groups or demonizing those involved, they discuss how well-intentioned leadership can have abusive effects. This "high road" approach is highly helpful in identifying some of the critical factors that have led to harsh and harmful leadership in churches. -- Marks of a Spiritually Unhealthy Environment: For example, the authors identify the marks of a spiritually unhealthy system. I'd like to include these here as a sample of how the authors address these issues. (The following consists of verbatim citations of copyrighted material from Chapter 5,6 of "The Subtle Power of Spiritual Abuse.") -- 1. Power-Posturing: Power-posturing simply means leaders spend a lot of time focused on their own authority and reminding others of it, as well. They spend a lot of energy posturing about how much authority they have and how much everyone else is supposed to submit to it. The fact that they are eager to place people under them-- under their word, under their "authority"-- is one easy-to-spot clue that they are operating in their own authority. -- 2. Performance Preoccupation: In abusive spiritual systems, power is postured and authority is legislated. Therefore, these systems are preoccupied with the performance of their members. Obedience and submission are two important words often used. The way to tell if someone is doing the right thing for the wrong reason is if they are keeping track of it. Let's say that another way. If obedience and service is flowing out of you as a result of your own dependence on God alone, you won't keep track of it with an eye toward reward, you'll just do it. But if you're preoccupied with whether you've done enough to please God, then you're not looking at Him, you're looking at your own works. And you're also concerned about who else might be looking at you, evaluating you. What would anyone keep track of their godly behavior unless they were trying to earn spiritual points because of it? For many reasons, followers sometimes obey or follow orders to avoid being shamed, to gain someone's approval, or to keep their spiritual status or position intact. This is not true obedience or submission, it is compliant self-seeking. When behavior is simply legislated from the outside, instead of coming from a heart that loves God, it cannot be called obedience. It is merely weak compliance to some form of external pressure. -- 3. Unspoken Rules: In abusive spiritual systems, people's lives are controlled from the outside in by rules, spoken and unspoken. Unspoken rules are those that govern unhealthy churches or families but are not said out loud. Because they are not said out loud, you don't find out that they're there until you break them. The most powerful of all unspoken rules in the abusive system is what we have already termed the "can't talk" rule. The "can't talk" [rule] has this thinking behind it: "The real problem cannot be exposed because then it would have to be dealt with and things would have to change; so it must be protected behind walls of silence (neglect) or by assault (legalistic attack). If you speak about the problem, you are the problem. -- 4. Lack of Balance: The fourth characteristic of a spiritual abusive system is an unbalanced approach to living out the truth of the Christian life. This shows itself in two extremes: Extreme Objectivism - The first extreme is an empirical approach to life, which elevates objective truth to the exclusion of valid subjective experience. This approach to spirituality creates a system in which authority is based upon the level of education and intellectual capacity alone, rather than on intimacy with God, obedience and sensitivity to His Spirit. Extreme Subjectivism - The other manifestation of lack of balance is seen in an extremely subjective approach to the Christian life. What is true is decided on the basis of feelings and experiences, giving more weight to them than what the Bible declares. In this system, people can't know or understand truths (even if they really do understand or know them) until the leaders "receive them by spiritual revelation from the Lord" and "impart" them to the people. In such systems, it is more important to act according to the word of a leader who has "a word" for you than to act according to what you know to be true from Scripture, or simply from your spiritual growth-history. As with the extreme objective approach, Christians who are highly subjective also have a view of education-- most often, that education is bad or unnecessary. There is almost a pride in not being educated, and a disdain for those who are. Everything that is needed is taught through the Holy Spirit. ("After all, Peter and Timothy didn't go to college or seminary...") -- 5. Paranoia: In the church that is spiritually abusive, there is a sense, spoken or unspoken, that "others will not understand what we're all about, so let's not let them know-- that way they won't be able to ridicule or persecute us." There is an assumption that (1) what we say, know, or do is a result of our being more enlightened that others; (2) others will not understand unless they become one of us; and (3) others will respond negatively. In a place where authority is grasped and legislated, not simply demonstrated, persecution sensitivity builds a case for keeping everything within the system. Why? Because of the evil, dangerous, or unspiritual people outside of the system who are trying to weaken or destroy "us." This mentality builds a strong wall or bunker around the abusive system, isolates the abusers from scrutiny and accountability, and makes it more difficult for people to leave-- because they will then be outsiders too. While it is true that there is a world of evil outside of the system, there is also good out there. But people are misled into thinking that the only safety is in the system. Ironically, Jesus and Paul both warned that one of the worst dangers to the flock was from wolves in the house (Matthew 10:16, Acts 20:29-30). -- 6. Misplaced Loyalty: The next characteristic of spiritually abusive systems is that a misplaced sense of loyalty is fostered and even demanded. We're not talking about loyalty to Christ, but about loyalty to a given organization, church, or leader. Once again, because authority is assumed or legislated (and therefore not real), following must be legislated as well. A common way this is accomplished is by setting up a system where disloyalty to or disagreement with the leadership is construed as the same thing as disobeying God. Questioning leaders is equal to questioning God. "We Alone Are Right" There are three factors that come into place here, adding up to a misplaced loyalty. First, leadership projects a "we alone are right" mentality, which permeates the system. Members must remain in the system if they want to be "safe," or to stay "on good terms" with God, or not be viewed as wrong or "backslidden." - Scare Tactics - The second factor that brings about misplaced loyalty is the use of "scare tactics." We're already seen this in some of the paranoia described in the last section. Scare tactics are more serious. This is more than just the risk of being polluted by the world. We have counseled many Christians who, after deciding to leave their church, were told horrifying things. "God is going to withdraw His Spirit from you and your family." "God will destroy your business." "Without our protection, Satan will get your children." "You and your family will come under a curse." This is spiritual blackmail and it's abuse. And it does cause people to stay in abusive places. - Humiliation - The third method of calling forth misplaced loyalty is the threat of humiliation. This is done by publicly shaming, exposing, or threatening to remove people from the group. Unquestionably, there is a place for appropriate church discipline. In the abusive system, it is the fear of being exposed, humiliated or removed that insures your proper allegiance, and insulates those in authority. You can be "exposed" for asking too many questions, for disobeying the unspoken rules, or for disagreeing with authority. People are made public examples in order to send a message to those who remain. Others have phone campaigns launched against them, to warn their friends and others in the group about how "dangerous" they are. -- 7. Secretive: When you see people in a religious system being secretive-- watch out. People don't hide what is appropriate; they hide what is inappropriate. One reason spiritual abusive families and churches are secretive is because they are so image conscious. People in these systems can't even live up to their own performance standards, so they have to hide what is real. Some believe they must do this to protect God's good name. So how things look and what others think becomes more important than what's real. They become God's "public relations agents." The truth is, He's not hiring anyone for this position. Another reason for secrecy in a church is that the leadership has a condescending, negative view of the laity. This results in conspiracies on the leadership level. They tell themselves, "People are not mature enough to handle truth." This is patronizing at best. Conspiracies also develop among the lay people. Since it is not all right [sic] to notice or talk about problems, people form conspiracies behind closed doors and over the telephone as they try to solve things informally. But since they have no authority, they solve, and solve, and solve-- but nothing really gets solved. And all the while, building God's true kingdom is put on hold. -- Conclusion: I hope that what I have cited gets your attention and motivates you to read this book. The subtle patterns of unhealthy characteristics are discussed in a way that actually helps people identify them, resist them, and recover from them. Copyright © 2000 John Engler.

Grace Abounding To the Chief of Sinners is John Bunyan's spiritual autobiography. In it he tells of his conversion and struggle with faith. He wrote it while he was imprisoned for preaching without a license. His main issue was a kind of "spiritual obsessive compulsive disorder" as one reviewer puts it. Bunyan was constantly concerned about the state of his salvation and whether God deemed him worthy enough for eternal life. This story communicates the author's anguish over his sin, his confession, and the life-changing impact of God's saving grace. Bunyan's spiritual struggles will remind readers that even the great minds of faith had issues with belief, and his personal testimony will encourage anyone who is doubting the status of their salvation.

The Council of Jerusalem: We may prove this quite readily by turning to Acts 15:6-31, where we read of the first General Church Council. A serious question of doctrine arose, and "the apostles and the presbyters came together to consider this matter" (Acts 15:6). After hearing the arguments and testimony of Peter, Paul and Barnabas, the leader of the Council, James [half brother of Jesus, writer of the book of James], then passed a decree with the words, "Therefore I judge" (Acts 15:19, 'dio ego krino'). This passage describes no truly democratic process, but rather it describes submission to the judgment of a central ecclesiastical authority [an authority completely submitted to Jesus Christ]. -- After receiving the judgment of James, "it pleased the apostles and presbyters together with the whole Church" (Acts 15:22: 'apostolois kai tois presbyterois syn hole ekklesia') to dispatch delegates with a letter promulgating the decree of the Council. The council then drafted a letter in the name of "the apostles and the brother-presbyters" (Acts 15:23: 'hoi apostoloi kai hoi presbyteroi adelphoi'). This phrasing, and especially the apposition of 'presbyteroi' and 'adelphoi', is quite precise in establishing the authority of the decision of the Council in the office of the ministers who serve and lead the Church, as opposed to a democratic process. -- Does the phrase "whole Church" here refer to the universal Church, or merely to the entirety of the congregation at Jerusalem. Recalling that the leadership of the Council was comprised of the apostles who were planting local churches in the Hellenistic world, delegates of the Hellenistic churches, and the presbyters of the church at Jerusalem, we can only rightly conclude that they spoke in the name of the universal Church. Indeed, the letter explicitly states that the authors speak in the authority of the Holy Spirit (Acts 15:28); since Paul tells us that it is by one Spirit that we were baptized into one body (1 Cor. 12:13) which is Christ (1 Cor. 12:27) and over which Christ is the head (1 Eph. 1:22-23), when Luke writes in Acts 15:22 of the leadership of the whole Church assenting to the decree of James which is binding on all Gentile Christians, he is necessarily speaking of the Church in its universal or catholic sense. -- The Council then sent the letter to the local churches in Antioch, Syria and Cilicia. This letter remarks that the false doctrine which the council repudiated was in fact discernibly false because "we gave no such commandments" (Acts 15:24). Hence, the Bible tells us that right doctrine is subject to the discernment of the leadership of the whole Church. The decree of the Council of Jerusalem went on, then, to establish a binding obligation upon all Christians in the local churches of Antioch, Syria and Cilicia: "that you abstain from things offered to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from sexual immorality" (Acts 15:29). Did the local churches bristle at this imposition of doctrine and practice from the ecclesiastical leadership of the whole Church? Not at all, but rather they "rejoiced over its encouragement" (Acts 15:31). Clearly, the Bible itself sets a precedent for the government of the universal Church by means of General Councils.

On this episode of Remnant X Radio we will be advancing the story with the latest edition of "Thugonomics" entitled, "Birds of a Feather." We will look at the linkage between John Higgins and his friend David Berg, between the recruitment of members for House of Miracles and The Child of God Cult. A lot of folks do not know that John and David worked on a few things together and shared ideas. You will be surprised at how much of the Children of God Cult is in Calvary Chapel. -- Your homework will be to google "Children of God."

This is a study of the Godhead; also called the Trinity, or the Tri-unity of God. The best definition of the Trinity is that there is only one God, but in unity of the divine and infinite Godhead there are three personalities, the Father, the Word (or Son), and Holy Spirit, of one substance, power and eternity, each having the whole divine essence, yet the essence undivided. Again in simpler terms; There is only one God, but in the unity of the Godhead there are three eternal and co-equal Persons; the same in essence but distinct in existence.

What Do We Know That Can Help Us Understand Our Reality

Verse Told Through The Eyes Of A Man And His Faith

Our new series on 'The Holy Spirit' seeks to reintroduce us to the oft-neglected third Person of the Godhead. Even those who claim to move in the power of the Spirit don't always have a deep relationship with Him as a Person. So, join us as we seek a deeper knowledge and fellowship with 'God on Earth' - the Holy Spirit. In our first study, we ask the question: are you walking in everything of the Holy Spirit that God intended for you as His child? Acts 19 presents us with some 'disciples' who had not entered a full experience of the Holy Spirit. Let's see what we can learn from their interview with Paul, as he asks 'Have You Received?'. This message is available at https://www.preachtheword.com now in MP3 audio format and in HD video on our YouTube Channel (https://youtube.com/PreachTheWord)...

Just like the twelve 'disciples' in Ephesus, the original twelve in Jerusalem also had something missing. They had spent three years with Jesus, but still needed their Pentecost experience. Jesus warned His disciples that they needed more to accomplish His commission. Here in Part 2 of 'The Holy Spirit', we will find out 'What's Missing?', and learn of the utter necessity of living and ministering in the power of the Holy Spirit.

Part 6 of our series on 'The Holy Spirit' begins our look at 'The Work Of The Holy Spirit'. The Holy Spirit is the critical prime mover in the work of redemption. He established salvation for us but now He is also the One who applies salvation to us. In the next two studies, we will see how the Holy Spirit personally works in our lives to conform us to the image of Jesus. This episode will look at the Spirit's work of 'Conviction and Regeneration'.

Part 7 of our series on 'The Holy Spirit' continues our look at 'The Work Of The Holy Spirit'. The Holy Spirit is the critical prime mover in the work of redemption. He established salvation for us but now He is also the One who applies salvation to us. We are learning how the Holy Spirit personally works in our lives to conform us to the image of Jesus. Last time we considered the Spirit's work of 'Conviction and Regeneration', in this episode we will look at the Spirit's work of 'Empowerment and Sanctification'.

In Part 8 of our series on 'The Holy Spirit' we begin looking at the 'Symbols Of The Holy Spirit'. In the Bible, God uses various instructive symbols for the Holy Spirit. What are the lessons we can learn about Him from these? Today we look at the first incredible image which is one of these symbols - 'The Dove'. This message is available at https://www.preachtheword.com now in MP3 audio format and in HD video on our YouTube Channel (https://youtube.com/PreachTheWord)...

We have been looking at some of the several 'Symbols of the Holy Spirit' described for us in Scripture. Last time in our series on 'The Holy Spirit' we looked at 'The Dove', but this time we will focus primarily on the 'Fire' of the Spirit and what we can learn from this image and reality. How might we quench the Spirit's flame and how can the fire be caught? This message is available at https://www.preachtheword.com now in MP3 audio format and in HD video on our YouTube Channel (https://youtube.com/PreachTheWord)...

In this introduction to a sub-series in our wider study on 'The Holy Spirit', we consider: what exactly is the Fruit of the Spirit? Whose life is it anyway? Here in 'The Fruit Of The Spirit - God's Personality' we find the answer to why the Christian life is impossible to live in the flesh. This sermon is available at https://www.preachtheword.com now in MP3 audio format and in HD video on our YouTube Channel (https://youtube.com/PreachTheWord)...

What is the difference between Holy Spirit fruit and merely human-produced work? We will see in this study of 'The Fruit Of The Spirit - Fruit vs Works' that the Fruit of the Spirit is an indication that we are rooted in the life of Christ Himself. As the saying goes, 'A machine can do work, only life can produce fruit'. This sermon is available at https://www.preachtheword.com now in MP3 audio format and in HD video on our YouTube Channel (https://youtube.com/PreachTheWord)...

As we continue our series on 'The Holy Spirit' with a time of focus on the fruit of the Spirit, in Part 12 we discover that 'Love' is the fruit of the Spirit that all the other fruit stem from. In this episode David shows us how Christian love is meant to be the very love of God Himself - and love is how we are to be known as Christians. This message is available at https://www.preachtheword.com now in MP3 audio format and in HD video on our YouTube Channel (https://youtube.com/PreachTheWord)...

How do we understand joy? How do we secure our joy? In Part 13 of our studies in 'The Holy Spirit', we continue with our look at the Fruit of the Spirit as we consider what true 'Joy' is and how God is the source of all joy. We discover how joy is at the heart of the gospel and is an essential ingredient to the Christian life, as well as reaching others for Jesus. You'll also be given some practical steps to release more joy in your life. This episode is available at https://www.preachtheword.com now in MP3 audio format and in HD video on our YouTube Channel (https://youtube.com/PreachTheWord)...

In Part 14 of 'The Holy Spirit' we continue with a study of 'The Fruit Of The Spirit - Peace'. The peace of God is not just something He has and gives, but peace is something He is. Peace is a characteristic of God's nature. We've learned that this fruit of the Spirit is the very personality of God exhibited in us through the Holy Spirit. In this session you will learn how to cultivate a mind, heart and life of peace. How valuable this is in a world so dominated by fear and anxiety! This message is available at https://www.preachtheword.com now in MP3 audio format and in HD video on our YouTube Channel (https://youtube.com/PreachTheWord)...

'Patience' is a virtue we have mixed emotions about. We wish we had it but we don't want to need it. Often we need it when facing a trial of some sort. In Part 15 of our series on 'The Holy Spirit' we learn where we can find such patience, how we grow in it and the amazing advantages patience brings to our lives. This is a much-neglected characteristic the Spirit brings into our lives. Listen and learn more in 'The Fruit Of The Spirit - Patience'. This episode is available at https://www.preachtheword.com now in MP3 audio format and in HD video on our YouTube Channel (https://youtube.com/PreachTheWord)...

In Part 16 of 'The Holy Spirit', we continue to explore the fruit of the Spirit as we discover that 'Kindness' is evidence of love and indeed love in action! Are we known for our kindness? What does that look like in our words and our deeds? Watch and listen as we consider the great kindness of God and how we can share His kindness with our world. This episode is available at https://www.preachtheword.com now in MP3 audio format and in HD video on our YouTube Channel (https://youtube.com/PreachTheWord)...

We continue our look at 'The Fruit Of The Spirit' in Part 17 of our series on 'The Holy Spirit'. God is love, and of course all the fruit of the Spirit flow from His nature of love. Love is 'Goodness' and we have a good God because we have a loving God. In this session we look at what God's goodness means to us and for us as we display the life of Christ to others. Because God is good, we ought to manifest His goodness to the world around us! This sermon is available at https://www.preachtheword.com now in MP3 audio format and in HD video on our YouTube Channel (https://youtube.com/PreachTheWord)...

If we are to produce the fruit of 'Faithfulness' in our lives it can only be experienced out of our cultivated relationship with the Holy Spirit and the life of God Himself, which He brings to us and displays through us. In our consideration of the next gift of the Spirit, for Part 18 of our series on 'The Holy Spirit', we discover that the only way to be faithful to God and other people is to be overwhelmed by the awesome faithfulness of God Himself. This message is available at https://www.preachtheword.com now in MP3 audio format and in HD video on our YouTube Channel (https://youtube.com/PreachTheWord)...

Have you ever prayed for more gentleness? Have you ever heard teaching on 'how to be gentle'? Do you imagine God as gentle? When you think you are hearing God speak to you, is it with a gentle tone? We trust this next video on 'The Fruit of the Spirit - Gentleness', will answer these and other questions for you. 'Gentleness' or 'meekness' is a much neglected and tragically undervalued attribute that we and others would so benefit from if we experienced it through the Holy Spirit's power. Indeed, this is how we would better influence the people around us to be Christians. As Jesus put it in Matthew 5:5 'Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth'.

Is 'Self-control' nothing more than merely exercising will-power? If not, what is it then? How is it different from just 'trying harder'? In this concluding message in our mini-series on 'The Fruit of the Spirit', find out how self-control is a key to effectively accessing the other fruit of the Spirit. Also find out what Paul meant when he said of the fruit of the Spirit, 'against such there is no law'.

So, are the gifts of the Holy Spirit for use in the Church today and in the lives of Christians in this present age? Can we know this for sure from the Bible? In this introduction to our sub-series on 'The Gifts of the Spirit', David seeks to answer the question: are these gifts for today? Why not share this very important message with others - it's available at https://www.preachtheword.com now in MP3 audio format and in HD video on our YouTube Channel (https://youtube.com/PreachTheWord)...

In this episode of our series on 'The Holy Spirit', looking at 'Grace Gifts', David talks about how all the gifts from God are because of His great grace in Christ; through the cross, resurrection and ascension of Jesus. He distinguishes Christ's gifts from the Holy Spirit's gifts. He also challenges us, that even though there may be misuses and abuses of the 'gifts of the Spirit' in the church, we should be asking the question: Where is the true? This message is available at https://www.preachtheword.com now in MP3 audio format and in HD video on our YouTube Channel (https://youtube.com/PreachTheWord)...

What is the purpose of spiritual gifts and how can we prevent them being used to selfishly promote an individual? Is the fruit of the Spirit not more important than the gifts? In Part 23 of 'The Holy Spirit' study series, we see that love must be the primary motivation for the seeking and operation of these gifts. Their God given purpose is 'To Edify' (build one another up) in the church. As we have explored, there is much division in the church about whether spiritual gifts should be sought at all today, but there is also much division and competition among those who claim to move in these gifts - why? More love and edification are the answers. This message is available at https://www.preachtheword.com now in MP3 audio format and in HD video on our YouTube Channel (https://youtube.com/PreachTheWord)...

In Part 24 of 'The Holy Spirit' study series, we embark upon a study of each individual gift mentioned in 1 Corinthians 12, beginning with the spiritual gift of the 'Word of Knowledge'. What is it? How do we recognise it? How do we receive it? David uses many scriptures to show the biblical foundation of this gift and ways God can reveal knowledge to us today for the building up of faith in others. This message is available at https://www.preachtheword.com now in MP3 audio format and in HD video on our YouTube Channel (https://youtube.com/PreachTheWord)...

Join us for Part 25 of 'The Holy Spirit' study series, as we consider the spiritual gift, the 'Word of Wisdom'. We find out how this relates to the 'Word of Knowledge', which we considered last time. What is it? How should it operate? How do we receive it? How should we be careful in the use of such a gift? David gives various biblical examples of the use of this gift and how we should operate in it with humility and godly wisdom. This message is available at https://www.preachtheword.com now in MP3 audio format and in HD video on our YouTube Channel (https://youtube.com/PreachTheWord)...

In Part 26 of our series on 'The Holy Spirit', we ask: what is the 'Discerning of Spirits'? What is it to discern and what are the different kinds of spirits we are to recognise? David seeks to answer these questions and also lead us in how we can cultivate this discernment in our lives. This, like all the other gifts of the Spirit, is so necessary for the health and growth of the Body of Christ. This message is available at https://www.preachtheword.com now in MP3 audio format and in HD video on our YouTube Channel (https://youtube.com/PreachTheWord)...

What is 'the Gift of Faith'? Is it the faith that saves us from our sins? Is it the faith to trust in what God says in His Word, the Bible? Is it the deep belief that God is there for us to help in difficult situations? Well, though all of these are expressions of faith, we shall see that the Gift of Faith is a supernatural ability, given by God Himself, to see the miraculous and the impossible accomplished for His glory? In Part 27 of our series on 'The Holy Spirit', we learn that it's an amazing gift that actually underpins the other gifts of the Spirit and indeed much of the Christian walk. This message is available at https://www.preachtheword.com now in MP3 audio format and in HD video on our YouTube Channel (https://youtube.com/PreachTheWord)...

In Part 28 of 'The Holy Spirit' series, it's 'The Gifts of Healings' - what are these gifts and how can we expect them to operate today? Is it God's will to heal? Should we pray for healing? Does that prayer always get answered? These are some of the questions we seek to answer from what the Bible has to say about healing. This is the first of two studies on this gift. This study is available at https://www.preachtheword.com now in MP3 audio format and in HD video on our YouTube Channel (https://youtube.com/PreachTheWord)...
