The churches failure must be our success.
Where the church has failed, we must succeed. No longer can we swallow and follow the erroneous teachings of pastors, teachers or conference speakers. We must neither grumble nor complain about the churches failures, shaking our heads in sorrow, but through much prayer, petition and supplication enter the throne room of God, crying out for the lost and dying among us.
No longer can we wait for “the church” to do what we “the church” have been called to do. No longer can we glide and glow following every wind of doctrine; drawing prayer circles, seeking extra Biblical revelation or searching for the God within us - “christian” mysticism.
We are a Christian remnant in the midst of Christendom's ruins, true to the Person of Christ, true to His Word, and we must be true to our calling.
“I gave her space to repent . . . and she repented not.” Revelation 2:21
The remnant remained, vs.24, not with the hope of a converted world or a restored church but with the bright and blessed hope of the LORD' coming as the Bright and Morning Star to hear Him say, “Well done good and faithful servant.”
They are not the church - WE are.!!.
Too often Christians forget that, yes, WE are the Church!
