Why Christians must engage in spiritual warfare against The Crossing!

MY BATTLE AGAINST THE CROSSING JUST GOT PERSONAL!

Friday my wife Valerie told me that my niece's son had been invited to The Crossing by a friend. As soon as I heard that, I contacted him via message on Facebook, told him it was a dangerous cult etc, etc,  gave him a link to my blog, told him about the conference, and begged him not to go to The Crossing anymore. I think I got my point across. His answer was, "ok, I won't". 

This is exactly what will happen if this cult goes unchallenged. It will cause even more pain and division among families and friends, destroy precious relationships, and ultimately, those who put their trust in a false gospel will go to Hell!

TAKING IT TO THE STREET    

Tonight I will visit Elk River or one of the other towns that have Crossing campuses and get the word out about the conference. Hopefully I can get out at least one more time before the conference. I still haven't heard if The Crossing plans on opening up a campus in Anoka/Ramsey, because if that is their plan, then I think that would be a great place to do the Lord's work!  So if anyone knows, please tell me!!!

This will be a great opportunity to do some street evangelism. I printed up a bunch of flyers, http://004f597.netsolhost.com/fftf/doublecrossed2.pdf and stapled them to another flyer I made up. I also have a bunch of Gospel tracts to hand out too. If anyone wants to join me tonight leave a message and we'll meet up. I was planning on six till eight.

Here's the flyer. Feel free to copy, paste, and print. It does all fit on one page.

 IS YOUR CHURCH A SAFE PLACE?

From churchabuse.com

http://www.churchabuse.com/

Here is a questionnaire to determine just how healthy your local church is. To find out how well your church ranks, answer "yes" or "no" to the following 12 questions:

• Does your church tightly control the flow of information within its ranks?
  
• Does your spiritual leader use public shaming as a method to gain the compliance of followers?
  
• Is your spiritual leader intolerant of questions or critical inquiry?
  
• Is your spiritual leader the exclusive means of knowing "truth" or receiving validation?
  
• Does your spiritual leader have unreasonable fears about the outside world such as evil conspiracies or persecutions?
  
• Are you discouraged to associate with former members, being warned that they are "evil" or "defiling"?
  
• Is leaving your group to join another church equal to leaving God?
  
• Does the surrounding community view your church as a cult?
  
• Does your spiritual leader consider it evil persecution when criticized or questioned?
  
• Do the goals of your spiritual leader seem to supersede any personal goals or individual interests?
  
• Do you fear being rebuked, shunned, or ignored for expressing a different opinion?
  
• Do former members often relate the same stories of abuse and reflect a similar pattern of grievances?
  

If you answered "no" to all of the above 12 questions, your church is very healthy. If you answered "yes" to three or more, your church is showing signs of being unhealthy. If you answered "yes" to six or more, your church is very unhealthy. If you answered "yes" to eight or more, your church is more than likely a full-blown authoritarian cult.
