I remember sending you an email a few months ago where I expressed my sentiments on where most evangelical churches are headed. Many, I believe, will capitulate to the dictates of government to save their “flesh” but lose their soul. Much the same can be seen in other countries of the world today where the Bride of Christ is underground, the apostate is visible.

U.S. churches are walking much the same boulevard as the churches of Europe did and look what situation they find themselves in now. I concur that God will always have and has had, His witnesses. They are most of the time in the minority. Much like the great saints of old, we need to be faithfully strong in our confession of faith and bring in the harvest.

Thank you to you for being that faithful servant and witness, lo many years ago who presented the Gospel to my dead spirit.

Pressing on, contending for the faith,

R.O.V.

As Romans 8:28 encourages us, I believe God is using this “apparent” persecution for (His) good to separate the “wheat from the chaff” in His Church.

Remember the passage:

” . . . ‘Sir, open the door for us.’
But he will answer, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from.’
Then you will say, ‘We ate and drank with you, and you taught us in the streets.’
But he will reply, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from. Away from me, all you evildoers!’
There will be weeping there, and gnashing of teeth . . .” (Luke 13:25-28 NIV)
