1 | How can God let us go through pain? | 1 Pet 2:24 | Morant61 | 42927 | ||
Greetings Hank and Joe! Pray for pastors, teachers, and other church leaders. The forum is an excellent example of the challenge that faces these godly men and women every day. So many 'believers' ignore what Scripture says completely, or mix it with a variety of others pagan or new age beliefs that sound doctrine has become a thing of the past in many churches. I was just reading in my local newspaper tonight about a protestant pastor in another country who is being brought up on charges of heresy because he has denied both the deity and the saving work of Christ. We need a renewed commitment in the church to teach sound doctrine, not the fluff which is so common today. Thanks for your efforts to promote sound doctrine on this forum! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

2 | How can God let us go through pain? | 1 Pet 2:24 | Hank | 42961 | ||
Tim, what you say is regretfully true. While I personally consider myself singularly blessed to be a member of a sound church body that exalts God's word, teaching and preaching it without fear or favor, I nevertheless see enough on TV religious programs and elsewhere to convince me that Christianity is in deep trouble. It is easy enough to draw an inference that many of these far-out programs being aired daily are but a microcosm of what is happening to sound Christian doctrine round the country and indeed the world over. Churches today who uphold sound doctrine find themselves in the ignominious position of being under attack not only by strong forces from without but also from within, even by groups who profess to be members of the body of Christ. The situation is nothing short of being deplorable, but we need fear no power but the power of God, so long as we maintain an unwavering trust in Him, His word, and in His eternal promises. Tim, I'm thankful for you and your fine contributions to this forum. You and a few others have become a solid core of heralds of biblical truth on this forum, without whose steady hand and guiding light this forum would have long since floundered in a tempestuous sea of rancor, discord, and heresy. --Hank | ||||||
