Celebrate Recovery, "Girl, Wash Your Face", Jesus Calling, and other popular liberal Christian teachings are really self-worship hidden in a sugar coating of Jesus-isims to fool the church and unbelievers alike. Please be aware. There is a reason the devil is called a snake, and a wolf in sheep's clothing! Read the Word of God and be in your guard against false teachings.

2 Timothy 4:3-4

3 For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine.Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. 4 They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.

Hmmm I don't think I've heard of those specific ones. I agree on the "not enduring sound doctrine" thing though.

That's a bit of a white-wash. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to call out specific ministries with specific accusations, backed up with specific evidence.

I'm not saying your assertion is wrong, but I think that in lacking specificity and evidence, it also lacks integrity. Anyone can throw stones. :)

CRA is for the treatment and recovery of people who's problems most don't understand. I is based upon A.A. Bill W. the founder of A.A. based it upon the Caimbrige group of Christians from the U.K. but Bill watered it down to appeal to athiests & agnostics alike. C. R. A. basicly went back to the bible based roots. It is not Intended for 'normies' but for drunks, junkies, sex fiends and others with serious psycho/social problems and disabilities that are not openly discussed in proper church or bible study meetings. It is not intended to replace sound doctrine but to lead people to it.

I actually really like this....

Nothing gets under my skin more than preachers teaching "we have to learn to love ourselves".... Every human is in love with themselves…. Now it may be perverted love for ones self, like a battered wife thinks if only "I could".... It's about the "I" in a very messed up way....

I was a battered wife so I can say this.... But no self-respect…

We are called to esteem people hire than ourselves and love as we love ourselves...

Good thoughts, bad thoughts.... we think about ourselves, usually... Good or bad... I's being in love with self....

The issue I have with it is that it is promoted as "the true church" and it still tries to separate others from the main flock. Many, if not most, do eventually use it as their primary source of doctrine and the Bible as their secondary (if they use it at all). It is a self-worship doctrine sugar coated in flowery Jesus words, and the shallow rooted believers eat it up and are quickly consumed. If you oppose anything in this doctrine, you are told to ignore it and "trust the process". It is fully promoted for "normies" as well. If you don't have a problem, they have a good list and you can pick one.

Yes. She used "automatic writing" to contact her god. She claims what she writes are the actual words of THE only God! Lots of churches are mislead by her idolatry.

Because they said, " Girl wash your face?".
She might have had some schmutz on it.
