"Let's Face It WE Lost America"
The only nation that was to be a theocracy was Israel, not America, and they chose a king. Let’s face it. We have been focusing on the wrong thing.
WE DEPENDED ON THE CHURCH and HAVE LOST IT. HAVE WE LOST CHRIST?
The church is inundated with titles: apostles, prophets, prophetesses, ministers, rabbis, miracle workers, evangelists. The results of their words appear powerless and useless as our own families are inundated with sin and the immorality of the world in spite of teachings and warnings and prayers. No victory. We experience: empty worship, empty words, empty prayers, empty fellowship in sanctuaries, in prophets’ sites, TV, etc. from sickly sources. The only living source is Jesus and allegiance to Him and no other.
Toser’s observations try to remove the scales off our eyes. The church has become man-centered. What happened to Christ? His power? His Word? Did He go ahead while we fell behind admiring surroundings and other hirelings?
Our trials are being used to separate us from the useless ministries which are spiritually devoid of help. We are forced to get into the Word, surrender to the Lord so that we may be fit for the Master’s use. So, we cry out to our Source, not the church, not the leaders, but the Lord Jesus Christ, in the wee hours of the night or morning so that our fellowship with Him is unhindered by other voices.
Jesus never called out groups, He called out individuals to follow Him.
