Some things never change

By the way are you still moderating? I noticed it says that you are a senior member is the reason I ask.

Yup...until the Lord leads me elsewhere or brother George, who is also a senior member, tosses me out. We moderators including George have to work our way up through the ranks like everyone else.

Praise the Lord, we need moderators who are led by the Spirit.

I guess waht I was getting at is I thought for some reason that is said moderator under your avitar, dont ask me why But anyway that was the reason I asked hoping that you still were.

Be Blessed brother. Thank you for your encouragement and concern. I don't take either lightly.

Philemon 1:7 Your love has given me great joy and encouragement, because you, brother, have refreshed the hearts of the saints.

Kevin, under the avatar it says Senior Member, but under goups, below that, it says Servant.

Gotcha I did not Know that!

Hi trav how ya be, and Suzanne sorry for hijacking your thread, I'm all better now. Ans I hopre to get the topic back on track, it is a great topic of discussion.

Suzanne,

Thanks for such an insightful post! I also think that at times my own church is worried about what others think and reticent to teach what GOD wants us to know for fear of alienating others. There are some people that are considered the "powers that be" and what they say pretty much goes. Somehow, I don't think that God is happy with this state of affairs. YIKES! :t: :t:

  There is most certainly a very significant thing beginning to take place! I am consistently hearing of those who are "waking up"! There is something that is soon to come, and we must be in prayer, and be prepared for this work. I am afraid it is going to be VERY different, and unless we have the power of Jesus Christ to sustain us, it may prove too hard, lest we continue to ask Him to equip us, and keep us strong and fervent about His Word.

AMEN Suzanne

In CHRIST JESUS :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

Suzanne,

What a truly insightful thread!

I saw it before but was busy, and didn't want to mess things up by skimming and posting.

The sad truth is, many, if not most, churches will fall and not be mindful of the warnings that Jesus gives in Rev chapters 2 and 3.

Just look at all the apostate churches in existence today. Some "preachers" have no more care about their flock than they do for the local weather forecast.

Money seems to be the driving force behind many of them.

Some churches are becoming nothing more than carnivals designed to entice the public in, give them enough "Scripture" to have them join and then proceed to use their numbers to justify their existence.

Jesus has stated clearly in Rev 2 and 3 just what will become of them.

One doesn't even have to look that hard to understand that in the last days, there will be a great falling away from the true church.

II Peter 3:3

II Peter 2:1-3

II Timothy 3:1-8

II Timothy 4:3-4

These are just a small sampling of the warnings we are given.

Ah, but we don't even have to wonder about the result and punishment for these great errors.

II Peter 3:9-10 Shows us not only will God be true to His promises and not be slack concerning His justice, but that He desires that ALL should come to repentance!

What Love He has for all of us!

I know that Jesus tells us not to worry about these false movements, but still I have my moments.

Thanks,

t.

Hi ted,

Well, for some reason I'm not getting notification when someone posts on this, so I just happened to see your name and take a look.

I know what you mean about the worrying........me too, although I think it's just feeling SO sad and disappointed. I understand now what the word "harlot" really means in the Scriptures. The church just keeps turning and looking outward towards mankind and oh how we've become lovers of pleasure(within the church), rather than lovers of God, and we try so hard to be man pleasers now, with ALL our goodies to give away!

I am sad, truly sad.

In His Love,

Suzanne

Stay strong, Suzanne.

God has a place and a time for those that use His Holy Name in vain.

I worry more about the luke-warmness than the outright apostasy.

Sometimes I wonder if I fall into that and it scares me. Not only the things I do, but about the churches too.

I'm thankful He has given us warning in His word!
