The following post is from September of 2018. I was just sitting there meditating at the time....pondering human relationships....and decided to put a few of those thoughts in a post:
If all that we do is rant about the Progressives....then we are not upsetting the real enemy....they are fine with us ranting on politics. Donald Trump is no real threat to this enemy....nor are the Trumpsters. (nor anything that I might post that does not point directly to Jesus Christ!) The enemy has no love for these Progressives that they merely use....but touch that which is behind the Progressives....and the enemy will come after you. Call out the heretical doctrines of liberal churches....and the sea will remain calm....but if you seek to awaken faithful pulpits....a tempest will arise. If you leave your loved ones alone in the darkness....they will love you....if you shine the light in that darkness....you will be alone. Generic Bible studies are no threat to Satan's kingdom. Teaching on what it means to be 'born again' will bring blowback. You cannot judge the strength of a church by its size....for size is not even in the equation. There will be times when you want to turn around and go back....times when you are afraid....even times when you are convinced that you are a failure. There is a cost to discipleship....but the rewards are far far greater....one of the most wonderful would be looking into the eyes of someone who has just had those eyes opened to the glories of Christ!
Romans 1:16...."For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek."
