I got this from a young visitor to my website last week. Don’t you just love how God draws people to himself and shows them the empty facades of religion?
Thank you for building such an uplifting and helpful website! I’m 21 years old, and have thus far left two religious communities, both of which were steeped in religious tradition and falsehood. I was raised in a movement that taught that this group consisted of the only heaven-bound people on the planet. After the youth group discovered that I had visited places of other denominations at my own leisure, I suffered backbiting from the youth and the leaders. Then, I left there and became a member of a religion program founded by a denomination. Once again, I was the odd one out because I would not accept Hinduism, Islam, Shamanism, Buddhism, etc. as valid ways to God. I left there, and when I tried to contact some people who were still in the program, I received no response. In spite of all I’ve observed and experienced, I’m thrilled to know that there are people who desire authentic Christian fellowship. I’m glad to know that people are willing to look through the facade of religion, do away with the false concept of church, and begin to actually be the family of God! Thanks for acting in godly discernment.
My response: What a joy to hear from you, and please forgive how long it has taken me to get back to you. Sometimes my schedule is not my own. Actually, my schedule is never my own. But I do enjoy hearing from people on the journey especially young ones who refuse to settle for status quo religious life and are willing to move on in the journey seeking for the authentic Christian fellowship God has placed in their heart. Unfortunately, it isn’t easy to find, but Father knows where you are and who he wants to link you to so that you can live more freely in him and share that with others who have a similar hunger.
I’ll pray God make those connections for you, in his time and in his way. But don’t ever lose your hunger for the purity and simplicity of being devoted to Christ.
I love it when we get to see others being set free!
We got the cd’s and are enjoying them now.
Peace
Free at last, Free at last
Thank Jesus Christ, we are free at last!
Please tell this guy we would love to fellowship with him and thanks for sharing this testimony.

am writing from nigeria and am blessed by ur thoughts and simplicity of life which u have embraced, long ago i have decided not to know any man above the status of brotherhood and the only thing that draws me to this website is to read the thoughts of a brother who joiurneys just like i do and i have come to understand that we know God more through experiences, you cant believe this am not interested in your articles though i read them but my desire everyday is to feel the heart of a brother which i have really seen and felt, greet my sister your wife for me. i have left all the religious status quo and i have told myself so many times that you know nothing about God and that has humbled me all through this years to journet to him untill perfection.
i love u brother and all our brothers around.
