We who preach the gospel must not think of ourselves as public relations agents sent to establish good will between Christ and the world. We must not imagine ourselves commissioned to make Christ acceptable to big business, the press, the world of sports or modern education. We are not diplomats but prophets, and our message is not a compromise but an ultimatum. A.W. Tozer
Therefore let God-inspired Scripture decide between us; and on whichever side be found doctrines in harmony with the word of God, in favor of that side will be cast the vote of truth. --Basil of Caesarea
Once you learn to discern, there's no going back. You will begin to spot the lie everywhere it appears.

I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, because He considered me faithful, putting me into service. 1 Timothy 1:12

An Unsafe Gothard Teaching


Anyone who puts himself in the hands of doctors for major medical care before calling for the elders of the church is making an unwise decision.


Bill Gothard, cited in A Matter of Basic Principles: Bill Gothard and His Cultic Teachings, by Don and Joy Veinot and Ron Henzel, pg.295


Where in the world doe Gothard find this in Scripture?!? And what medical experience to the majority of elders have? Why is not contacting elders first an "unwise decision"?


The "unwise decision" here is Bill Gothard's!
