Many parents, of many beliefs, are homeschooling their children. Better education, No fears of school shooters, teachers who mock your kid's beliefs.Enforced indoctrination into the LGBT agenda. Enforced instruction into Islam, or fear of using a bathroom where.. anyone might be.lack of anything resembling true education. bullying.
I might be a bit on the purple prose side with that statement, but it sums of the fears of parents. With christian institutions being attacked, from a battered women's shelter in Alaska that turned away a transgender person ( or on that day a transgender person hard to tell ) which will probably force them to close ( just watch)...a christian led opposition to Prop 1 in the same place which would allow religious charities to make sensible decisions..yes you read that right.. leaving abused women with no place to go where they can feel safe (many homeless don;t feel safe in any shelter. check it out) to my own community's strong verbal opinion that allowing community based organizations (often christian, often Catholic) to open up a rehab, when Virginia is so desperately short of beds,would be worse for the addicts... if they had to see a cross or say a prayer...than dying...to the push to limit the number of times a deputy could give narcan to a person who has OD'd. that's right the great cry, often from believers is let em die! ..to the open acceptance of gay and transgender pastors and bishops,to the more usual apostasies...emergent church, mystical and magical ways of accessing the Holy Spirit ( He is with you, He is always in you.you don;t need a magical formula to access Him) become prosperous, and mostly paying tithes and doing nothing. for the Church..which suits these churches just fine.,..warming a pew doesn;t save..searching for the newest "thing" ..even evangelicals, always stalwart for the faith, have stumbled..might I add, thinking a politician that says all the right things, is what is going to save us or a more conservative Supreme Court..they vote as they wish once they get on the court. .that thinks abortion and euthanasia are just fine... 2 Timothy 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; You are watching a new priesthood emerge, Forward thinking progressive church leaders, often gay or transgender. about to take the church from within. Sound teaching and doctrine will not be tolerated.And this will lead straight into the Harlot church, in God;s timing not theirs though Satan attempts to push this along as fast as he can.This is why I would not be surprised at the head of this church being a woman (everyone wants to make it the Pope, but once a harlot always a harlot, the false religion seems like a natural for a woman leader to me) They have their eunuchs, for pleasure and for service. They have proven they hate God with every breath, making Gods of their own imagination, they have sacrifices (abortions) tenets ( global warming, we have hurt Mother Earth) and have one other specific hatred. Israel. 1 Timothy 1:…9We realize that law is not enacted for the righteous, but for the lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinful, for the unholy and profane, for killers of father or mother, for murderers, 10for the sexually immoral, for homosexuals, for slave traders and liars and perjurers, and for anyone else who is averse to sound teaching 11that agrees with the glorious gospel of the blessed God, with which I have been entrusted.… We claim that, since we are once saved always saved, we need not hold to the Law in any form, Yet God wrote it into us. Romans 2:13For it is not the hearers of the Law who are righteous before God, but it is the doers of the Law who will be declared righteous. 14Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the Law, do by nature what the Law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the Law,15since they show that the work of the Law is written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts either accusing or defending them.… Stop excusing your sin based on OSAS. Get right with God, repent! Me too, not just you So if the Church, represented in the US by denominations, buildings and worship spaces, having at least some protected status under the 1st amendment, no longer wish to abide by the Law, but do wish to have accord with the world. what are we to call this? Salt that is worthless. Matthew 5:13You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its savor, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men. Perhaps it is time for believers..who still have discernment, who still hold to the Bible as scripture, every word, It means having like minded people get together in someone's home, it means leading in bible teaching, worship...and actually helping each other in bad times and in good. It means.. no mortgage or salaries It means, freedom to teach children the truth. It means every person doing what God has called them to do. There will be push back. attempts to make you organize, get an official status.citations for parking violations you name it the State and the organized churches will come after you. So I suggest taking turns in people's homes, as the Amish do. I am not suggesting withdrawal from the world, as we are needed more than ever. but sound doctrine, worship of the Lord through song, a deep commitment to the Body of Christ, will naturally overflow into the community at large. As you have seen from my examples, attempting to form groups that do specific missions, may get you sued.street missions may get you thrown in jail. the road ahead is murky.I am sure God will show us where we can be useful. Call me an alarmist, , a Jeremiad..a remnant christian. I'm OK with that. the US as an idea and a Christian safe country may be dead, but we are not. |
