Christy contemplates the goal of Bill Gothard's IBLP cult as expressed on Shiny Happy People: world domination. She remembers feeling like that was the goal back in the day--to take over the world one person, church, and city at a time--so that everyone could experience God's blessings and personal success.
Now she is concerned that perhaps they succeeded more than she ever realized. Fundamental ideology seems to be creeping into mainstream church culture everywhere she looks. But it is really Gothard? Or is it just that people are naturally religious and love turning to formulas and steps to give them feelings of control and comfort? Are people naturally fearful and easily manipulated?
On the other side of the coin, Christy is equally saddened by the people who are angrily rejecting anything and anyone that still holds to orthodox theology. How do we walk the narrow middle way of truth and grace?
