Evil winds continue pushing in Church doors!

 

The evil winds of culture are blowing and pushing in the doors of Church congregations everywhere.  It's going to take deep roots to keep believers from being moved from their professions of faith in The Lord Jesus Christ.


From Andy Stanley creating roads to facilitate growing cultural and woke indoctrination of same sex marriage and trans-insanity to church goers abandoning their congregations as the wokeness makes its way into their pews.


The Bible says, in the last days, "Who will stand?"... 


As the deception grows and continues pushing, we have to remember what is the authority by which we call anything TRUTH.  If it's not God and His revelation, it'll be just a matter of time before that twig snaps by those evil winds.


In Oklahoma, The United Methodist Church is still battling to hold together their denomination.  They're needing to continue splintering to run from these evil winds of cultural change.


The article covers the desperation of some who are trying to seek arbitration from the state in order to allow fairness in their ability to divert from these progressive changes against their will.


But unfortunately, in this case, I believe the best thing to do is simply walk away and rebuild "the house of God" somewhere else.


It wouldn't be wise to create a precedent where the state has to come and arbitrate among the saints, and it's completely unbiblical to do so.


As the Word of God states, we came into this world without anything, and we'll leave without anything but ourselves.   And this here isn't our home.... Or at least, in the condition it's in.  :)


It definitely needs a refacing and remodeling if you catch my drift!



"for we brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of the world." --- 1 Timothy 6:7


Also, 



"For many, of whom I have often told you and now tell you even with tears, walk as enemies of the cross of Christ. Their end is destruction, their god is their belly, and they glory in their shame, with minds set on earthly things. But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, " - Phil.3:18-20




"When one of you has a grievance against another, does he dare go to law before the unrighteous instead of the saints? Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are you incompetent to try trivial cases? Do you not know that we are to judge angels? How much more, then, matters pertaining to this life! So if you have such cases, why do you lay them before those who have no standing in the church?" 

--- 1 Corinth.6:1-4

Pray for the Church of Jesus Christ.

Keep the faith and continue standing!

State Religion coming soon!

Chinese Province Forces Believers to Apply Online to Attend Church

 link   https://www.christianheadlines.com/contributors/christopher-eyte/chinese-province-forces-believers-to-apply-online-to-attend-church.html


A crackdown on spiritual activities is forcing Chinese Christians in the Henan province to apply online for permission to attend church.

The ‘Smart Religion’ requirements app created by the Henan provincial religious department does not have a legal basis, China Aid reports. There has been a drop in numbers attending churches because of the introduced measures.

Henan has a large Christian population, and believers must now register and make appointments for any religious activity via the ‘Smart Religion’ application. It was created by the Ethnic and Religious Affairs Commission of Henan Province. Muslims and other religions have also been affected by the same controlling directive.

According to China Aid, those registering first need to choose the intended religious venue and no key search words are allowed, such as ‘Christianity’ or ‘Catholicism.’

Personal information is then inputted to make a reservation: name, date of birth, phone number, ID number, permanent residence, and occupation. Church attendees must also give a reservation code and have their bodily temperature checked. Older people would be guided by officials in using the mobile phone application.

Do we truly think that this can't happen in the USA?

This in fact did already happen here as a trial run... 

Do you remember the approximate 2-year fiasco and shut downs that happen during the Corona Virus plan-demic?   Many believe this was a trial run and many believe this will soon happen again.

And what if it were to happen again?

We saw what happen!

We saw how people reacted.. 

We  saw how neighbor fought against neighbor... 

We experienced the inconsistencies and the bad and dishonest governing bodies literally creating rules and laws out of thin air -  for the sake of the "greater good".  

Church services were relegated to Zoom meetings ... and many were satisfied with that.  Threats and arrests were made.

Singing hymns was discouraged... Gathering and worship congregations discouraged while violent and disruptive leftist protests were encouraged.... 

The next time around will be better?... You think?


Pray so that you'll be able to stand in the evil day.
