How Well-Meaning Christians Get Caught Up in Fundamentalist Cults Like the IBLP

[phkrause]

(And our church is not immune to this problem either!!)

It happens regularly. Well-meaning Christians get caught up in fundamentalist cults like the IBLP. If you have never heard of the IBLP, then allow me to briefly introduce this organization to you. The IBLP stands for the Institute in Basic Life Principles. Bill Gothard founded this organization in 1961. He developed it around the idea of helping teens make wise life choices based on scriptural principles. On the surface, this sounds good, and this affected literally thousands, if not millions, of people around our country. However, when you peel back the layers, that is where you see the cracks.
