Keep up the faith! I agree with you the time is close. All we can do is plant seeds and God will do the rest. I now know what Paul meant when he said;
 
Romans 1

16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.

I am not ashamed to stand up against the false teachings of the organized church. I am not ashamed to rightly divide the Word. I am not ashamed to "not" be polically correct. What amazes me is that most pastors are very carefull in the pulpit not to endorse any candidate because they are afraid of losing their tax exempt status. If you are scared of that it is no wonder they are afraid to preach the simplicity of the Gospel of Grace. THEY want to convict the people to keep coming back and bringing their money. THEY do not trust the Holy Spirit to do his job.

You are so right, our country and our churches are failing and failing quickly. I know we all work hard to get the message out. Satan has used his tool of gradualism and has decieved the people again by mixing law with grace.It is such a simple message. No-one has to be a bible scholar to tell this simple message. With all the electronic media no one has to be a good speaker. All a person needs to know is that Jesus died for them and that he was buried and rose from the dead. He took your and my place. Believe that and you are saved. I truly believe this country would be a lot different if pastors preach and teach the simple plan God has for us. Anything different does not result in the "sealing" of the Holy Spirit. Maybe this is why so many churches are weak.

 

thanks and God Bless you
