Bible Note: Dear Colt, You wrote, "I belong to no corporate church." Perhaps that is the issue, son. Outside of a local congregation: you cannot be fully obedient to all of the commands of the Lord; you will be susceptible to error and deception; you will loose the advantage of specific means of grace; you will be much more vulnerable to various kinds of spiritual declension; and you will be outside of the explicit will of God. Note, also, that a man's salvation is always manifest through their love, fellowship, and participation in the lives of the rest of the Lord's flock. I'd be remiss in properly caring for you with Christian charity, if I failed to urge you to be visiting a local church tomorrow morning at the very latest! In Him, Doc |
