AMEN! AMEN! AMEN! AMEN!
Blogger, Am kind of grieving . . . I’m still coming to grips with the fact . . . that have known to some degree all my life . . . and increasingly year by year . . . but thunderously more evident in the last weeks . . .
that many folks I love and care for are sliding toward hell as though they were racing on a greased slide—AND THERE’S NOTHING I CAN DO ABOUT IT FOR FAR TOO MANY—MOST OF THEM.
AND
Some ‘Christians’ seem caught up in similar exercises, futilities, damnable perspectives, attitudes, convictions, . . .
Some probably love The Lord authentically enough and purely enough that somehow The Lord will pull them through in His Grace and Mercy.
Others have made ideas, groups, denominations, doctrines of men etc. such idols . . . they make the RC’s look tame by comparison. One beings to wonder how much hope there is for how many of such “Christians.”
Very saddening.
Nevertheless, all we can do is pray and assert the Biblical truths as we feel led . . . in as much caring and love as we can muster BY HIS GRACE.
Thanks for your contributions.
I believe we are witnessing a clear separation of the wheat from the chaff, and will do so more often as persecution begins to rear its ugly head against the church.
It is easy to sit in one’s living room, all comfortable, and pontificate about doctrine to friend and foe alike. But what about when the state says you aren’t allowed to? What about when there is a real price to pay? Too many will fall away. I pray I have the strength not to embarass my Lord.
Sounds like you need a vacation from FR, my friend. Get a grip. See what's real in life. Put that new degree to good use. Give the replacementarians/RAP-artists a break.
We'll be here when you get back.
