Subject: Truth lost in the Reformations? |
Bible Note: Emmaus Excellent my friend. It grieves my heart to think how many will not receive the truth of what you said because on closed minds. Christendom is in a mess, we have every wind of doctrine blowing through the church and everyone proclaiming their truth. I see Pentecostal churches that hinder the Holy spirit not alarm visitors, churches removing the cross and any mention of sin as too repugnant to new believers, words meanings changed, passages sniped out, altar calls for those that “want to know Jesus” with no call to repentance, nor mention of sin or the work of the cross. I see baptism with sprinkling, dipping and diving done in the name of the Father, Father and Son and Holy Spirit, or the goddess mother wisdom. Communion with wine and bread, juice and bread, and now honey and milk. Church names being changed to names that one is not sure what it is (community education and enlightenment center). Many structure our prayers to avoid any chance of placing an guilt on anyone. We avoid songs that stir the spirit and focus on those that effect the emotions. ALL because we are entitled to our understanding! How it must grieve the Lord. EdB |
