"The man who never reads will never be read. He who never quotes will never be quoted. He who will not use the thoughts of other men's brains proves that he has no brains of his own ... You need to read" - C H Spurgeon.

C J Mahaney on "Being a Man's Man"
"Like any man's man - I relish being out of style".
If you choose to read the above blogs, do so with extreme caution. This is a group of hurting Christians who have found a "refuge" in sharing their disenchantment with SGM. What they fail to see is that any ex-Baptist, ex-Calvary Chapeler, ex-New Covenanter, ex-Catholic, and on and on, will have a story to tell about how the leadership failed them. I have a personal bagfull in my long walk with the Lord and his still-not-perfected-Church. We are never to put leaders in a category that they fix everyone, everything, or are without sin. This is called idolatry. It is one thing to realize that you may not agree with an organization. It is another to make them the stuff of scandalous talking. Every side has a story. These blogs only tell one side. Please, fellow brothers and sisters in Christ, let us be aware that Jesus weeps and the devil dances over these kinds of quarrels.
