Haven't read this thread but I can tell you that this man and "ministry" is very dangerous. I know firsthand. He's burned many bridges with entire districts of the UPC and has created a lot of trouble in churches and brought division among families under the guise of hyper-spirituality. Proverbs 6 says that God hates those that sow discord among brethren. Be circumspect, very circumspect.

I've never met the man personally, so I probably shouldn't say anything. However, I have read official letters from our leaders....and I trust them. We need to pray for him...

Leaders? As in who? UPCI leaders? If so, we shouldn't expect you to believe anyone or anything else, especially if you haven't met him personally. But, I never met him personally. I witnessed him personally speak to the congregation. And it was at that time I sensed some discomfort coming from his spirit and what he was saying. As if his chin was touching his chest, staring down the congregation when he was speaking...

Unapologetically, NO ONE should ever tell the congregation "Oh, come on, you can cheer loudly at a football game. Why not cheer as loud or louder for Jesus in church?" as one of his first opening lines!!!
