After almost eight years in UBF, a minister saying that asking questions is from Satan immediately raises red flags. My chapter director always responded to my questions about UBF abuse by saying that if I looked to Jesus, I would go feed sheep by faith without any questions. This minister most likely does not want to be questioned about what he is doing or asks others to do.

One of many things I learned from being in UBF is to ask many questions. There is nothing wrong with having faith based on intelligence. Saying that we should not ask questions means that we are supposed to have ignorant faith. Ignorant faith can more easily be manipulated by corrupt leaders.

In Christ,
