Honestly, I think the evidence speaks for itself, so without further discussion...



So, which is it, Chris? Follow? Believe? I'm so confused...

I understand that the posts on this blog may be upsetting for those who are members of Church of the Highlands, please know that it is not my intention to hurt you. Once the Lord opened my eyes to what was happening at COTH I just couldn't remain silent.

As I mention in part one, I was an all-in member of Church of the Highlands for several years, until, through the grace of God, my eyes were opened to the dangers of this "ministry." And it is dangerous. In the previous post I focused on the Scripture Twisting that initially caught my attention. Unfortunately, it wasn't the only passage Pastor Chris mangled in that particular "sermon." This post will address this: Kairos vs. Kairos This clip is taken from the latter half of the Vision Sunday 2015 clip.

Chris begins by, I believe, over emphasizing the importance of the word "opportunity" i...
