Once in a while I receive e-mails disagreeing with my website (www.earnestlycontend.com). The website provides discernment information on Stonecroft Ministries. Below is an example of a disagreeing e-mail. Often these e-mails lack proper biblical judgment, assumptions and false accusations. I respond by asking how much time they spent actually reading and studying the information. Most do not respond.
Is the lack of response admitting they have not read the information? Only one readily admitted not reading the information, apologized and promised to read it. This is an honest and humble woman!
If the others did not read the information, they missed the opportunity to judge accurately and clear up any assumptions or accusations they have.
One day, believers will give an account to Almighty God on how they served according to God’s precious word. Do you desire to know God’s word thoroughly and examine teachings in order to know and do His will… and not your own?
In Christ, Christine
p.s. It’s apparent the below writer did not read the information as she opened with “I am not sure what caused your particular problem with Stonecroft”.

Christine,
I am not sure what caused your particular problem with Stonecroft
Ministries, but I am deeply disturbed that you are spreading
seriously erroneous information about them on your website. I have been a
Christian since I was 10 years old and I have been attending Stonecroft
bible studies for the past 2 years. My mother and sister-in-law have also
been involved with them for many years. I have experienced nothing but love
and acceptance and a group of women who’s hearts are truly open to serving
the Lord through outreach and study of His word. I have found them to be
some of the best bible studies I have ever had the pleasure to participate
in due to the fact that they follow the Bible explicitly, without all the
“psychology” or false teachings found in so many others I have seen.
That you have devoted such an extreme amount of time and effort into
focusing directly on Stonecroft leads me to believe that somewhere, someone
did something that left you feeling bitter and vengeful. Be careful not to
allow the Enemy to use you to spread dissention and confusion. I am deeply
saddened and offended by your attack on this organization and me as well,
since I am a part of them, and hope that you will put as much effort into
spreading the message of Christ’s love and forgiveness rather than trying to
create ill-will against a group doing their best to share the love of Christ
with women who do not know him and guide them to further their knowledge of
Him through study of the Bible. I do not begin to say that they are perfect
in every way, but what organization made up of people is? I will be in
prayer for you and hope that you will find the real “truth”, peace and
forgiveness to whomever you are so angry with at Stonecroft.
With Christ’s Love,
