Unmasking the Domestic Abuser in the Church

The Damaging Dissonance of the Abuser

“Their throat is an open grave; they use their tongues to deceive.” “The venom of asps is under their lips.” “Their mouth is full of curses and bitterness.” (Rom 3:13-14) One of the most painful missiles which RASNs (revilers, abusers, sociopaths, narcissists) launch at others derives its evil energy from…

A True Church is a Place Where Christ is Present and Where Christ Speaks to His People

And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near. (Hebrews 10:24-25) Virtually all of you whom I have…

Can You ‘Love’ Your Abuser into Repentance?

If favor is shown to the wicked, he does not learn righteousness; in the land of uprightness he deals corruptly and does not see the majesty of the LORD. (Isaiah 26:10) A normal, non-toxic person responds positively to kindness shown to them. They are thankful. They want to show kindness…

We Must be Humble in Handling God’s Word or we will Cause Great Harm

My Answer to an Excellent Question

I decided to make a stand-alone post out of an answer that I gave to this excellent question one commenter submitted: "Is there a difference between 'submit' and 'obey'? If I must obey my husband at all times, then I make him my God, which he is not." Excellent question.…

Like Their Father, RASNs are Destroyers

The Puppy-eyed Victimhood of the RASN

And this second thing you do. You cover the LORD's altar with tears, with weeping and groaning because he no longer regards the offering or accepts it with favor from your hand.
