The false teacher, the abusive man, hates the freedom we have in Christ. He introduces his own "gospel," therefore, to shut us out from that freedom so that we can then be made his slaves. He becomes, you might say, our "priest" through whom we must go and whose dictates we must obey if we are to get set right with God.

“ Great Sermon! ” Thank you. I read your book and am on my second time through. Then I started listening to your sermons. I've lay counseled people in domestic abuse situations and know of others. Right now I'm in the middle of something in my church where I believe the sheep are being victimized. I am listening to these sermons to gain understanding and then to use the knowledge to address the issue. In the past I was a church leader. I chose to not submit bc I knew what was going on was wrong-minded and not of the Spirit. I carefully said something to the membership. That did not go down well (for me). So sad. Satan is at work in destroying our churches from the inside out. But we have Christ, the hope and the life. To God be the glory.

“ Great Sermon! ” Because of my husbands' continual abuse, I had to leave my home 3 weeks go. I'm now in a hotel. We've been married for 42 years. I am a Christian women and was so blessed to have found your site yesterday after a search.
Please pray for my safety..I hope to go back home before long, of course, without my husband at the home.
My lawyer has written to his lawyer advising I require a restraining order against him before any further matters can be worked on. He was physically violent many years ago, and i had to stay home for almost 2 weeks, the injures on my face were so severe. After that, it has been continual verbal and emotional abuse. i had to leave.
Thank you Pastor Jeff Crippen for your website...i will read more of your sermons. There are not many pastors who have the wisdom, courage and conviction to speak as eloquently as you about this horrible abuse.
Sincerely,
Carol
P.S. This is the most difficult time of my life, but also the most blessed...i feel God guiding me every step of the way.
