I Kid You Not!
![](https://www.recoveringgrace.org/media/1277664_57340379-160x120.jpg)
Shortly after I joined the Institute in Basic Life Principles (IBLP) staff in 1992, I went on a two-week ministry trip to Moscow, Russia, that was preceded by a very long car ride from Oak Brook, Illinois, to JFK airport.

I will admit to being a part of that group. I was a staff member and I did things that were against the rules. All the time. If you happened […]
