Why I left the ICOC and then came back – Pat Hlophe
August 30, 2021
Pat grew up in South Africa and has overcome some intense challenges. She tells her story of joining and leaving the church, and then coming back.
The perfect Father chooses mercy over judgment and connection over correction, and he celebrates repentance, calling us to reflect His love and grace.
Submission begins with surrender to God. Following Jesus' example, we lay down self-will, serve others in love, and trust his direction daily.
Jesus was full of grace and truth. Wisdom knows when to comfort, when to correct, and how to speak with love, discernment, and humility.
