Re: Paul N. F.   A Compromise: "The Church Must Change"
 
This article could not be more true.
 
This year has been a year of emotional ups & downs for me.  At the beginning of this year, my husband (who is my heart) was diagnosed with colon cancer.  After surgery, no two doctors could agree on further treatments.  Although it would appear not to be, this was in actuality the LORD.   Yeshua taught us to depend totally on Him.  My husband IS healed.  He had another round of test in November and all is well!!!  Praise Yeshua!!!  I am eternally grateful. HIS praise shall always be on my lips.
 
The church that the Lord led us to prayed faithfully with us and I know their intercession was important.  However, sadly, now they too seemed to have joined the "seeker" movement.  Only church expansion and membership growth is important.  Things have changed, lots of choruses now, ten (possibly 15) min. sermons (nothing offensive such as sin, repentance, etc.)
 
Last week I read the post about the minister on TBN telethon who said the Lord told him to leave his wife and marry another and now the refusal to air Hal Lindsey. I have always regarded Hal as being a true man of God, never changing in his message.  I met him a few years ago and was amazed at how "ordinary" he is.  What you see is what he is.
 
And in our local paper....a man (I hesitate to call him a pastor) is receiving national recognition riding on the coattails of others. This man has hurt and destroyed numerous individuals in our area.  No board in this church, just a one man show.
 
I was talking with my mother this morning.  If I didn't know that GOD was in charge, I would just not bother.  What is happening to the Church, the real Church?  I guess we are seeing the separation of the Laodacian and Philidelphian churches and the time is nearing for our Savior to appear.  That is all I am waiting for.
 
Please don't get the impression that I am discouraged or giving up.  It is just amazing to me that men (those who are in the church and supposed to know better) don't know better and reject the teachings of the Bible so easily.
 
I read the Doves every morning and listen to John MacArthur.  As Psalm 23 says they "restoreth my soul".  Thanks to all of you.
 
Hope to meet all of you in Heaven soon. :)
