WE are the biggest exporters of Heretics and Pornography this world has ever seen.
What is borne out in trial and adversity is what we bring forth for there we see the fall and were Adam or the tares are reigning , first in us then we are able to see it clearly its diverse manifestation without. For we must follow HIM in HIS temptations before we Judge the "backslid den children of Israel. After every trial there is Light the reason why we have so much superficial "Gospel " concepts is men refuse to Follow HIM in HIS temptation for if any will do HIS will in any measure will recognize HIS true practical doctrine in that measure. The True light of Christ grows in us as we grow more in HIM seeing what is of self in us and what is not off HIM. It is in that measure HE order us , and give us Light to judge what is not of HIM without. This is contrary to our own will for to stand and do what HE will have us do is to receive endless misunderstanding and rejection. Yes HE is working here and bringing a handful of young saints to more of HIS light. Bless

I would like to add this scripture: Galatians 4: 3-5But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:In whom the God of this world (the Devil) hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; andourselves your servants for Jesus sake.And this one from Psalms:1:1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly,nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.1:2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.1:3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.1:4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.1:5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.1:6 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.=========================================================Psalms 19:7 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.=======================================================Let us do the work which Christ commanded us to do and hold up the mirror of the law to those whom are lost so, they will find time of refreshing.

Barbary may I suggest you look to the persecuted church in Africa for authetic Christianity. Believers are paying a high price for following Jesus in places like Nigeria and Eritrea. You can go to the web sites like Open Doors or Voice of the Martyrs and read their stories. Brother look to those who are spilling their blood for Christ. Have you read Tortured for Christ by Richard Wormbrandt? Tbis is an excellent book about a Rumanian pastor who suffered for Christ. My friend look to the persecuted. Only they are living out the true witness of Jesus.
God bless friend for the good counsel and the website .
