"How is it then, brethren? when ye come together,
every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine,
hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation.
Let all things be done unto edifying."
(1 Corinthians 14:26)
For this post, I'm going to do something I've never done before in the nigh on 10 years that this blog has been running for. Instead of offering something focused upon my own concerns, I wish to present you with a blank canvas, and invite you to take up a brush and palette so to speak and present here a picture of what it is that might be perturbing YOU... a loudhailer I'm handing over to you, my friends, if that analogy may make more sense, to give expression to what are your own concerns... and please, please don't be shy of doing so! I want to hear YOUR voice, not just my own echoing hollowly back at me!
It would seem likely to me that most people who happen upon this site do so because they've used a search engine, to try and find something that may have been written on a particular topic that they are having some issue with, and perhaps then be able to grapple with it the easier for being hopefully a little better informed, and just maybe having their unease validated.
In this context, through my endeavouring to warn and inform about apostasy, error and deception in the body of Christ (or perhaps more accurately what would claim to be it!), one most humbling aspect of the work has been that the Lord has been pleased to use it to give comfort and encouragement to marginalized, isolated and fellowship-starved believers that they are certainly not alone in what they see and feel... even if everyone around them is fully on board with the things that they themselves cannot bear witness to and in no way make themselves party to.
When such folks as these walk away from "doing church" - not to leave the Faith but in order to keep it! - a very lonely road is almost certain to await. That road is of course the Narrow Way, and it is the uncompromising Remnant who are the ones who travel it, those who refuse to bow the knee to BAAL, by which I mean here the Brazenly Apostate Assembly of Laodicea, which is what today's institutional "Christianity" has on all fronts become, in such stark and dark fulfilment of Scriptural prophecy that a great apostasia, a falling away from Truth, would come in the Last Days... days which have now very much arrived!
THIS SITE IS NOT MEANT TO BE ABOUT ME BUT ABOUT US, AND WHAT TOGETHER WE ARE UP AGAINST IN THIS EXTREMELY LATE HOUR, WHEN ALL AROUND WE ARE SEEING NOT A POSTMODERN 'NEW REFORMATION' DAWNING AS SOME WOULD HAVE IT, BUT A NEW 'DARK AGE' DESCENDING. EVERYONE HAS SOME CONTRIBUTION TO MAKE WHEN WE COME TOGETHER, AS THE SCRIPTURE WHICH HEADS THIS POST MAKES PLAIN, AND IT MATTERS NOT A JOT WHETHER A "MEETING OF THE SAINTS" OCCURS FACE-TO-FACE OR VIA AN INTERNET PLATFORM LIKE THIS ONE. FACT IS, WE ALL HAVE A PART TO PLAY.
ON THIS BASIS, ANYONE WHO IS MOVED TO SHARE A THOUGHT, AN IDEA, A WORRY, A TESTIMONY, AN ENCOURAGEMENT, A QUESTION, AN ANSWER, A TALKING-POINT... OR ANYTHING THAT MIGHT BE ON THEIR MIND, THAT BLANK CANVAS I'VE MENTIONED IS THE COMMENTS SECTION FOUND AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE. RATHER THAN THE NORM OF HAVING A SPECIFIC SUBJECT I'VE WRITTEN ABOUT THAT YOU CAN RESPOND TO, THIS TIME THE SUBJECT MATTER IS FOR YOU TO COME UP WITH! WILL YOU TAKE ME UP ON THIS INVITE OR NOT? IT'S OVER TO YOU GUYS...
