While others are spending October celebrating the Five Solas, I want to celebrate umbrellas. Actually, I want to celebrate getting out from under umbrellas.

And for good measure, so the non-initiate can understand my Umbrella Parable, here’s the expanded version of The Umbrella Diagram, for Reformed churches. That is, this diagram came from some inheritors of the Reformation that we’re celebrating this month.

Hopefully for those who aren’t familiar with The Diagram, the message of The Diagram will be self-explanatory: Don’t get out from under the Umbrella of Protection covering of your Authority, lest you get rained on by Satan, whose raincloud (or maybe it’s another umbrella??) is bigger than Jesus.

And this leads us to . . .

Go here to download your free Guide, How to Enjoy the Bible Again (when you’re ready) After Spiritual Abuse (without feeling guilty or getting triggered out of your mind). You’ll receive access to both print and audio versions of the Guide (audio read by me). I’m praying it will be helpful.
