Letter from Sydney (January 8, 2014)

Dear Jonathan, Sarah, Joshua and Christina,

     I have been putting this off because I have been so angry with all of you. How you can believe such lies told about your mother and others who you know are godly people is unfathomable, but I am going to write what God has laid upon my heart.
     You don't know the true cause of your mother being kicked out of Calvary Temple because you will not hear her side of the story. That is completely unscriptural, Proverbs 18:13 says "If one gives an answer before he hears, it is his folly and shame.” Or maybe you do know that the things you are being told are not true but you are choosing to ignore the convicting of the Holy Spirit in order to please the men you call your pastors.  How can you obey men rather than God?  And they are just men! You must stop treating them like they are gods. Like Paul, they are the chief of sinners because they too have been destroying Christians just like he did by destroying families. And you too have blood on your hands because of your very silence. Repent! It is not too late! Bring these deeds to the light and expose those who have been allowed to get away with murder, so to speak. What does Star Scott have to do in order to get you to see that you must not justify everything he does? Stop turning a blind eye to Scott’s reprehensible deeds. Most of what I have just said is for you Jonathan, but you are all accountable.
     Have you ever wondered why your mother is such a target?  Here is a telling question: is there even one of you who has spent a whole hour crying out in agony because of your sin? Since before you were babies your mother has felt her unworthiness before a great and holy God and has spent entire nights confessing sin and reveling in His love.  He is merciful, not a monster ready to stomp on us. She was put out from the church because she spoke the truth and had a great influence on people because she is a godly woman with great discernment. The only thing she was ever misled in was trusting the men at Calvary Temple. You know how many young people she sent there which is something she will always regret. If you would only listen to the truth! You are raising your children without the godliest influence they could have: your mother. And there will never be another person who loves you more than her.  She will take you back with open arms when you come out. You will never be able to restore all that you have stolen from her, but she has forgiven you.
     Read I Corinthians 13; do you have even a niggling doubt about the hatred you show towards your mother? The self-righteousness? Think on these things! Wake up before it is too late! Remember that God says, "All things are open and laid bare to the eyes of Him with Whom we have to do" (Hebrews 4:13) and that "nothing is hidden, except to be revealed; nor has anything been secret but that it should come to light” (Mark 4:22).  
     What more can I say to admonish you?  I plead with you...turn from deception and walk in The Truth. Remember..."Jesus is the Way the Truth and the Life” (John 14:6). Follow Him. No position in your church is worth the price you are paying or the incredible pain you are bringing to your mother and others. Answer me honestly…if you lost your wealth, good looks and important jobs do you think you would still be in positions of favor in the church?  Turn from your present course and choose to do what is right. There is hope, 1 John 1:9 says, "If we confess our sins He is faithful to forgive us our sin and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." The God who requires righteousness has also provided The Way to attain it; turn to Him now.
           
After all that I can truly write this: I love you all.  We are here for you.

Mrs. Case
