The Lord Jesus observes all, and does not need an HDSD or external hard drive to store all the evidence. As God in human form he not only knows everything, but he can store everything, ready for the day of judgment.

Maybe my American brethren can tell me why Texas is so special that it has so many of these so-called "sanctuary cities"? Is it a Bible state or particularly Christian? Whatever it is, it is sure refreshing to read about it.

I realise this kind of house church model is very probably the only viable way in certain countries like China or North Korea, or Islamic countries, where there is persecution. The Bible does however, appoint elders and deacons, (not clergy, we leave that to the Anglicans and Catholics!!), for leadership and accountability.
Yes indeed, Chris. No problem with that. However, we have never been a church, in that sense of the word. We are all trustees of a charitable organisation, and the work of the charity is Mission, and we are working in an Asian country. And so we fellowship together to maintain spiritual life and grow in grace and knowledge of Christ, and also to spend time on the work of the Mission.

One of our group also attends a local church, but that church completely shut down some time ago and will not re-open till the new year at the earliest.

I suppose in evangelical lingo, you could say we are a parachurch organisation, hearkening to the calling of God, and seeing good results abroad, and little churches being formed (with a pastor).

You are welcome Chrisgp. Tomorrow I shall be attending my fellowship as usual, for our four hour meeting together, all as usual, no face masks, no one-way system, no sanitizer. What's all the fuss about? We are focussed on the Lord Jesus Christ and take Psalm 91 for our guide concerning "the pestilence". We meet in a home, and are small in numbers (very small) and I recommend it to anyone who wishes to have an intense time with the Lord, studying the word and getting deep into prayer together. I wish I'd done this years ago.

Of course, if you hold the clergy/laity system, it would be difficult to split up the church into small groups, because there wouldn't be enough clergy to go round.

But if you believe the Lord has gifted every member with spiritual gifts, then it is perfectly feasable.

I ought to add that the format I have adopted is so blessed, that sometimes the four hour meeting extends to six or seven hours, and not one person gets bored, because of the presence of the Lord Jesus and the way he helps us to open up the scriptures.

Philippians 4:6-7 KJV
(6)  Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
(7)  And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Matthew 13:22 KJV
(22)  He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.

1 Peter 5:6-7 KJV
(6)  Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
(7)  Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

Colossians 3:1-3 KJV
(1)  If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
(2)  Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
(3)  For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.

Just a few texts for your encouragement, Chrisgp.

Steven, I refer you to my post of 9/12/2020 5:25AM. If you cannot access it, I will repost it.

Just caught your post before turning in.

BTW Steven, I do not want you to imagine that I classify anyone as 'beyond the pale'. Obviously some are, because God has 'given them over'; they loved not the truth, so God prevented them from ever 'hearing' the truth. Those not elect are not so much 'beyond the pale' as non starters. God chooses not to extend his mercy to them, so they perish in the sins which they love, and deservedly so.

But no-one really knows if a sinner will ever repent. While there is life there is hope.

Luke 13:4-5 KJV
(4)  Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem?
(5)  I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

With regard to Mrs Hatmaker, I would be thrilled if the Spirit of God convicted her of her sins and brought her to repentance through the new birth. So it is mere speculation on my part that she is reprobate. I think it is highly likely, but time always tells. She will either get worse and worse, in which case she will perish; or the Lord God will have mercy upon her and bring her to the cross, and bring her to his word, which so clearly points out her grievous sins.

And if I was in her case, I would hope Christians would point these things out to me.

Staying with the simple loving folks who are filled with the Spirit instead of being missionary to the lands that need the Word? Interesting, bro.
The simple, loving folks I am talking about, Mike, are converts in the 'lands that need the Word'. People who are hungry for the Word, and receive it joyfully.

Mike wrote:
As for me, I've wondered for years why there is such emphasis on foreign missions, when there is so much to do here. But maybe this mission field is just too hard? Or is it the romance and intrigue of other places that attract?
It is not the Christian's choice what he does, where he goes. If God is calling you to minister the gospel locally in New York State, go ahead. God will bless you in the doing of it. Say to him, "I delight to do thy will, O my God."

We must all be involved somehow in world evangelism, Mike. The Lord Jesus commissioned it, and we are to do it. Every person must hear the gospel at least once. Our problem is that we think it is normal to tell the same person the gospel a multitude of times, hoping that one day the message will sink in. This is not biblical. Read the Acts of the Apostles.

John, let’s be honest. we have no evidence that anyone on this forum is saved outside the fact that they can talk the talk.
What an odd life you must live, Steven. Every day you meet people, and you do not know whether or not they are Christians. Man, it must be worse in America than I supposed, when the Christians do not stand out, living righteously, and the sinners stand out, living ungodly lives. It's all become a blur. The tares are in the church and no-one knows who they are. They have learnt a few evangelical phrases, and they are good for baptism and can become Sunday School teachers, deacons, pastors. Yes, the devil sure has won victories, and it is because of backsliding. God's people no longer care what happens. They have become hedonists. They think being religious is all that is necessary for heaven.

But Mrs Hatmaker, now surely the evidence points to her being unregenerate? We know full well she is now supporting the LGBT cause and is filing for divorce. What would you say if the reason for her divorce is so that she can 'marry' another woman? Hmmmm?

Stevenr,

You said, "And there you go, yet again making a judgement that essentially says that the Holy Spirit is powerless to convict and reclaim someone.
Do you not believe that God loves His children, and chastens them? Do you not believe that God wants a chastened child to return to Him?
Where is your faith John? Or are you too interesting in celebrating the Devil’s victories?"

And so I asked, "Now then Stevenr, what you need to do, is tell me upon what evidence you are basing your belief that Mrs Hatmaker is one of God's elect?"

And you replied, "..... I believe that is above our paygrade."

So you have no evidence whatever that Mrs Hatmaker is a child of God, yet you imply that God loves her and will chasten her and desires her return to him? This is a poor do, Steven. You can't make judgments like that without evidence.

You say I am wrong to believe she will end up in a lake of fire because of the evidence in front of me, yet you yourself believe she will be in heaven eventually, without any evidence whatever.

Now I must say that I believe this convo will turn out profitable to both of us, and I believe this because the Bible says so. Therefore do not permit the devil another victory, but receive grace upon grace.

Stevenr, if Mrs Hatmaker (soon to lose the Hatmaker part by divorce) is a child of God, then God her Father will reclaim her shortly, or even lengthily, because she is one of God's elect for whom Christ died specifically, and God has promised to keep all of his elect and beloved children. This is what grace is all about, the salvation of God's elect, his sheep, and the justice towards the non elect, the goats. God will be glorified in both the elect and the non elect. It's a fact.

Now then Stevenr, what you need to do, is tell me upon what evidence you are basing your belief that Mrs Hatmaker is one of God's elect?

After all, the only evidence I have seen thus far, would make it clear that she is a rebel against God, unregenerate, a promoter of LGBT vileness. So to my mind she is reprobate.

I can’t imagine anyone “worshipping” the Constitution. A ridiculous notion, and the only reason it was brought up in the first place was to disparage America and Americans—AGAIN!—and to pick a fight. (All the while keeping one’s mind on things above, of course.) As the estimable Nero Wolfe would say, “Pfui.”
Excuse me, it was brought up by an American.

I understand why missionaries who travel, taking the gospel to those who have never heard it, dread taking a furlough back to the decadent, backslidden western nation they started out from. When they win converts, they begin to see what pure, unadulterated Christianity is really like, and they wouldn't trade it for what they started out with.

Imagine coming home and doing a little tour of churches to let the dear, backslidden folks know how they are faring in foreign parts. Perish the thought! I could not do it. I would rather stay abroad with simple, loving folks, who had been filled with the Spirit and were bearing the fruit of it, and who loved and appreciated me.

Just a few facts of life.

Yes brother, there are those that believe American is and always has been a Christian nation. Of course anyone with a little knowledge knows that isn’t true.
And of course it is difficult to explain why such a precious document needed or was amended 27 times. And yes, some of those amendments didn’t add something, but redefined or changed the original.
And you are right; there are so many cultural Christians in this country that do worship the constitution.
You and I worship our triune God.
Amen brother! If anyone wishes to understand fully what I wrote, they will need to watch the Star Trek episode in full, and then maybe they will be as shocked as I was, at the worship and veneration of an ancient book.

Or ask Carl.

That she isn’t right with God and is a candidate for church discipline, however, is beyond question. She should be dealt with scripturally, like any other fallen church member.

Exactly Tim
Not going to happen. She doesn't accept the scriptural position on homosexuality nor divorce, nor adultery, so to imagine she will accept church discipline is a non starter. Besides which, she's a famous author and preacheress, don't you know.

Well said, MS. In other words, the sniffling Brit who swats a Yank with the back of a kid glove had better duck the roundhouse that’s coming his way.
But Tim, I am not a Brit.

John 17:16 KJV

Philippians 3:20 KJV
(20)  For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:

(14)  For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come.

1 John 2:15-17 KJV
(15)  Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
(16)  For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
(17)  And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

Neither England nor Scotland nor Wales nor N. Ireland mean anything to me. I set my thoughts on things above, where Christ is, and also my citizenship.

Star Trek episode The Omega Glory, where the "socialized" Comms are at war with the "barbarous" Yangs. The Yangs win in the in as they literally fight to the death to defend the "E Plem Nesta." Kirk discovers that it is actually the first three words of our constitution "We The People." "Comms" was actually the shortened name for Communists and "Yangs" was the shortened name of Yankees.
Carl, I remember that episode, it was quite bizarre. The Yangs reverenced their constitution as if it was a god. It reminded me of some of my American brethren who similarly reverence their constitution.

Oops.

How true Adam Clarke had it, even 2 centuries ago.
Surely I Corinthians 5 deals with the necessity of church discipline,
"Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:
Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. "
Thank you sister for your comments. Most welcome. It is always good to hear from you, Sister B.

It is true that I do not know for whom Jesus died, but I do know that few there be that find their way to the portal and enter through that door into the kingdom of God.

All I can go on is the evidence placed before me. Is this lady a member of a church? She ought to be shunned, not accepted. Thrown out of membership, not received with open arms. In the OT, purity within the camp was taken seriously. Today, it seems churches are so lax, that they are filling up with tares. Would anyone care to disagree? Some churches are only tares, not one believer. It's a fact.
