This is so very important. Please read it and pray about it. I'm on my kindle so can't post much now, but didn't want to take a chance on losing it.

Three years ago I published an essay discussing the new female-founded, social justice, discipling organization called "IF:Gathering". Jennie Allen , founder, decided to start a discipling organization which Allen revealed was based on a command from a voice from the sky. Her words.
Allen, along with Lindsey Nobles and several other women, started this 'movement,' as they describe it, to gather women for purposes of discussing their feelings about the Bible. This is accomplished outside of the auspices of the local church. Several participating IF:Leaders admit they actually abandoned their own ongoing church ministries to do form this non-church organization and focus on the global movement they hoped to incite. Their intentions are full of self-stated hubris. They plan to 'disciple a generation'. They intend to 'heal the nations'. They will 'reconcile the world'. They will 'unleash the next generation of women to live out their purpose'. And so on. Notably, in 2012, Pastor Jim Murphy of First Baptist Church of Johnson City, NY found to his dismay how quickly satan's tentacles embedded themselves into his church when he overlooked some areas he knew he should address but simply hadn't. Eventually he preached a powerful message to his congregation that took himself to task, and them too. He asked their forgiveness. Then he said,
Now is the time for clarity. No more messing around. No more experimentation. No more dabbling into these dangerous practices. Now is the time for clarity and that clarity comes through discernment: this ability to think Biblically. The ability to read a book and see what it is saying aside from the warm fuzzy you got from it. Discernment takes time and it takes work and shame on you for not taking the time and effort. Shame on you. ....
... Pastor Murphy said that satan's tentacles had spread so fast and deep, he was saddened and shocked. He took on the guilt himself, saying that he knew the Sunday School and the Church Library held some off-ideas but he didn't address it because he was so busy and wrongly handed off total responsibility to underlings. He was wrong to do that he said, because false doctrine does not come in only at the pulpit. It comes in the small groups, the library, the women's ministry. It takes vigilance to combat it.
