Many people might think so, because there are many issues
that affect it in the new changes that will take place by the previous administration
which had God’s permission to keep on benefiting themselves while the fortress
Christians built is still up. Some people also think that many churches will
lose because they are giving the wrong message, like the one of “prosperity”,
for instance. God will not tolerate a lie using His name as a bait to get
publicity. Paul said to the Galatians: I am
amazed that you are so quickly deserting Him who called you by the grace of
Christ, for a different gospel . . . But even if we, or an angel from heaven,
should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is
to be accursed. (Galatians. 1: 6, 8). Some “Christian organizations”
even pray for only the ones who send them money or buy their goods. They are
doing the same as the ones who sold the indulgences. Perhaps worse, for the
richness is not for the church in general, but for the ONE in particular,
writer, owner of business, or administrative head of a congregation, which basks
in luxury. Others think that God is punishing the Church by permitting the
nation that always caressed it to be ruined, as every other great power that
ever existed. And whose fault is it? It is ours, for not educating ourselves
enough with God’s Word. Do you think the world’s problems are new? They are as
old as Adam and Eve and we are simply living its consequences now, reason why
we should study the Word because. All
flesh is grass, and all its loveliness is like the flower of the field . . .
the grass withers, the flower fades, But the word of our God stands forever.
(Isaiah 40:6, 8)
The Church of Christ, and I mean the real one that preaches
the gospel as Jesus did, and wants the goodness for everyone, despite their way
of thinking, for it wants to spread the Good News to everyone so they can be
saved eternally; that Church does not need the Power nor does what other
institutions hidden under its name do, that is to be on the side that will give
them the most benefit, like many non Christian people who invested in death.
The Church is vulnerable because it is made of humans, but if they are really imbibed
in the word of God, they are not blind to what will happen in the future,
because it’s all there in the Bible.
The real church is “you and I”. We, the people of God, who
will endure, as always have, the scoff and the mockery of all those who voted
for liberalism despite the warnings of the Lord. We, who preach and model The
Word of God and Trust in Him, know that
“The Lord will execute His Word on the earth, thoroughly and quickly.”
And just as Isaiah foretold: “Unless the Lord of Sabaoth had left to us a
posterity, we would have become like Sodom, and
would have resembled Gomorrah”
(Romans 9:28-29)
No, the Church has not lost. The church Christ established never
loses for it opens the eyes to the blind and receives them with love, if even
when having voted for death, many shall run to it. As it happened in my country
of birth, where the churches are full of many who once persecuted them, and now
they seek refuge in them for they become victims when they realize the dishonesty
they were involved with. That is why I say the Church of Christ
does NOT suffer any loss, on the contrary, it becomes stronger as people
realize they were in the wrong front. Legalizing independence from God is a
method of the Antichrist, which will fail as it always has. Do not worry, for
God will defend the Church with all His might, as it is His bride.
I would like to
finish with the words of the first stanza of a hymn I learned by heart many
years ago. Number 500 in the old Presbyterian hymnal:
God
is working His purpose out as year succeeds to year.
God is working His purpose out as the
time is drawing near
Nearer and nearer draws the time, the
time that shall surely be
When the earth shall be filled with the
Glory of God
Like the waters cover the sea.
And remember, whether you believe on Him or not. All knee
shall bend and proclaim Christ Lord of All.
