Café Con Abby
by Abby
What if what you have always believed in turned out to have some really twisted roots? Would you be willing to do the hard work of researching and reanalyzing all you held as truth? Could you do the digging up and tearing down of false teaching you had built your faith on without losing hope and trust in the one thing that has held up to scrutiny? I hope that you will listen to what I have to share and begin to see where some misunderstandings have rooted themselves in your heart and mind. Make sure you are reading it right.

Hope in truth
Sometimes we search in vain for information that will help us feel validated, seen and understood. In vanity, we want to hear what will make us feel like we are on the right track, yet there may be a book filled with so much truth that it shows you the track you're on isn't right at all, but…

Where is God in the suffering?

Being Humble, the Forgotten Art

Counterfeit Peace
Can I ask you something? Do you find peace to be something difficult to find? Is it something that you look for inside of yourself or do you find it within your environment? Perhaps you are one that manufactures your peace- you know, like creating an atmosphere with soft music or candles, etc.…

Hope in Troubled Times

Love in Hurt and Healing

Happiness is a serious problem, Dennis Prager (pgs. 78-86) Dennis Prager, Happiness is a Serious Problem, pg. 78There are some clear rules about happiness. One is that you cannot be happy if your primary identity is that of a victim, even if you really are one. In Prager's book he states some...

Mixed Bag of Tricks...Understand the Word and the Warning
Growing up Pentecostal, WOF and then dipping into NAR, let's just say I learned several "tricks" in keeping the enemy at bay.

Saturday resource: Walter Martin and the Kingdom of the Cults
What happens when we exchange truth for a lie? What happens when a mother or father are told they just don't have enough faith to "heal" their sick child, failing marriage, or get out of debt?

Mystic Monday-Getting past the emotional response...

So you wanna fight? Let's take a step back before we get it all jumbled...

Mystic Monday- "God told me" and the role of manipulation
Our first Mystic Monday episode gives a bit of background from Calvary Bible Church and distinguishes how "God told me" is misused and abused in many circles today. Although we hear many use this phrase, we must be cautious in taking the advice or directions given. I was taught we were to be...

Rooty business: It Matters Where It All began

Are you burdened?
When we listen to that "still small voice" or even so called teachers, preachers, etc. we must understand if they are adding to the word of God and what we are called to do as we study. Salvation is encompassed in the work of Jesus on the cross, not what we did or can ever do. Do not allow others...

Extra-biblical experiences
As you begin to study the Word of God, do you struggle with wanting "something more"? When we look to "experience" God we often open the door to self delusion and mysticism. While I practiced many years of "listening to the still small voice" and "being led by God", I mistook those beliefs as…
