So tired of looking around and seeking all this seeker friendly/spiritual formation stuff. I think it’s much like the cults…mormons/JW’s and others only they have walked right into previously decent churches that once did preach the gospel correctly. However, error was likely there before in small ways. Then there were weaknesses highlighted. People wanted to do better, bought into some lies, and then time passed. Slowly, slowly, these false teachers have taken over. Our desire for good feelings in church has pushed many to just swallow and follow. Ugh. I know I did it. If I had any inkling there was something wrong I just swatted it away. So now, we’ve got real problems all over. The foundations have shifted and we’re not seeing Christ in the church buildings, we’re seeing falsehood. We forgot our first love and now compromised. I say we because, well, I was once in this type of church.
Still, though I know how easy it is to be a party to all of this mess, I am sick and tired of it.
Please be encouraged, surely the Lord is coming for His own soon. Listen to the sermon that I put in the website spot and be encouraged sister.
We know that the apostasy must happen and the rebellion!
Our responsibility is to continue to share the true Gospel.
The death, burial and ressurection of the Lord Jesus Christ according to the Scriptures by which we have access to the Righteousness of Christ by this grace through faith.
We should expose the apostasy, but we cannot stop it. I like to think of it like Judas Iscariot. It is a horrible thing to think that one of the twelve would turn against the true Messiah, but that was God’s plan. God kept this hidden from the other disciples because their flesh would have tried to stop Judas.
It is a horrible thing to think that those who are in the visible Church will turn against the true Bible believing body, but this is God’s plan. We cannot stop the Judas Church, we can only maintain our faithfulness to the Way, the Truth, and the Life. We must trust that His word will not return void and will accomplish His purpose.
Hope this makes sense and is helpful to you as you continue to fight the good fight of faith.
