NEW CHURCH: Afflictions

Brethren,
I've Found Two New Phrases For Us To Chew Over:

Cosmic Child Abuse
And

Progressive Christianity!

I've Got Three Answers For You:

I've Heard About Them! 

I Don't Like, Appreciate Or Own Them! 

Case Closed!

Not So Fast, Banni!

I've Never Heard About Them!

Please Tell Us What's Going On Lillias!

Translated, Cosmic Child Abuse Says That

• The Father Willed, As In Forced The Lord Jesus To Die For Us

And 

Progressive Christianity Has Decided That 

• The Word Of God Is No More Inspired Than A Novel Or A Song
• We Are Not Sinners Because Almighty God Made Us To Be Like Himself And He Called Us "Good!"
• The Inerrant Word Of God Almighty God Is Flawed
• Sin Isn't 
• Social Justice Trumps The Call To Biblical Salvation ...!

... You Can Stop Right There!

Why!?! What For!?!

Sweet Girl, 

Jesus Christ, Himself, Warned Us About This!

The Apostle Paul Warned Us About This!

The Hebrews Fell In The Wilderness Of Sin Because Of This!

The Hebrews Fell At The Border Of The Promised Land

When A Known Prophet Of The Living God

Balaam Son Of Zippor Taught King Balak

How To Inveigle The Hebrews In Unsanctioned
Unholy, Unauthorized

Alternative Worship Stylings Which Led To 24,000 Deaths!

Let Me Tell You People Something:

The Same Way Almighty God Gives Us Will And Choice

Jesus Christ Had Will And Choice
And
He And His Father Are One In Purpose
And
He Was Willingly Onboard With The Decision!
Jesus Christ Was A Willing Sacrifice
For He Said Plainly That
No One Takes My Life: I Lay It Down
And
I Will Take It Up Again!

The Same Way The Lord Laid Out His Word

For The Hebrews Of Old

The King James Bible

The Preserved Word Of The Eternal God

Is
Laid Out A Road Map To Help Us To Safely Arrive In Zion!

This Nonsense Being Sold As The Progressive Christianity

Is
What You GetWhen Everybody And His Brother And His Sister

And His Well-Heeled And Hooked-Up

And Dialled-In Friend

Writes And Copywrites

Their Own Version-Perversion Of 
Almighty God's Immutable Word!

When You Carnally Add To

Or Subtract From The Eternal Word

You Are A Liar And There Is No Light In You!

You Are Cursed!

Newsflash!

They Don't Believe That The Loving God

Will Destroy Good People

So Almighty God's Curses Don't Count!

Wow!

The Prophesied Rot Is Really Setting In

And Digging Down Deep!

I Don't See The Problem!

Whatever You're Drinking, Darcy, Don't Give Me Any!

People, People, We Are Nearing Home!

The Lord Says His Sheep Know Him

They Know His Voice!

The Rewriters, Reinterpreters Of Holy Writ

Are None Of His

And

The Final Battle Lines Are Being Drawn

The Armies Are Being Established 

Minds Are Being Fixed

Satan Is Rubbing His Blood-Drenched Hands

And

The Fools Who Say There Is No God

No Rules

No Justice

Just Love

Are In For The Rudest Awakening That 
Any Human Being Will Ever Endure!

Sometimes I Ask The Lord

Why!?!

Why, What!?!

We Have The Same Makeup

The Same Knowledge Of Good And Evil

And Yet

Some Choose To Believe

While Many, Even Most, Choose Unbelief And Disbelief!

What's The Difference Between Disbelief And Unbelief!

Disbelief ... I Can't Credit The Truth Of 
What I Know To Be Truth:

Lord, I Believe, Help Thou My Unbelief!

Unbelief ... I Don't Care What You Can Do

I Will Not Believe That:

They Love Not The Truth So The Lord Gives Them Over 
To Their Own Devilish Desires!

Lord Jesus, Please Help Us!

It Is Actually Happening!

Yup!

Prophecy Is Unfolding Right Before Our Eyes!

Not Too Long From Now
It Shall Appear On Their Very Skins!

They Are Going To Be Hungry
For A Word Of Truth And There Will Be None

Though They Search The World Over!

I Feel Sad, Even Sorry, For Them!

They Need To Feel Sorry For Themselves

For Heaping Up Highly Educated Charlatans 
To Cater To Their Itching Ears

And

To Blithely Lead Them To Sure Damnation!

What Can We Do!?!

Preach The Truth In Love!

You Might Get Stoned!

Better A Physical Stone Death In Jesus

Than A Stony-Heart Withering Away To Damnation!

I Choose To Live And Die In And For Jesus

Because

He Has Promised To Raise Up The Righteous Dead To Glory!

Some Of Our Not-Yet-Friends Will Call You Gullible!

And!?!

They're Fat And Happy And Fooled!

I'm Lean And Happy And Faithful!

One Of Us Is Ultimately Unhappy

And 
I'm Sure It Is The One Who Doubts, Distrust
And 
Indulges UnbeliefIn The Words And Workings Of 
The Holy God Of Grace And Glory!

Open Our Eyes Lord, And Help To Listen

To The Still, Small, Voice Of Truth

That Will Guide Us To The Land Of Eternal Youth! 

We Are Nearing Home 
So Beware Of Those Who Purvey The New Church!
Trouble Is On The Horizon
And
Afflictions Are Going To Increase!
Keep The Faith
And
Do Not Become Desolate: 
We Will Not Be Deserted By Out Faithful And Just Holy God!

Beloved,

Those Who Are In Desolation 
Are Those Who Have No Hope! 
A Practicing Christian
One Who Believes The Word
Who Accepts The Daily Gift Of Faith
And 
Obediently Walks Through Life 
Using Their Faith That Works 
Because Of 
Their Love For Our Lord Jesus
Will Have 
Hope That Comes Of Faith! 

Faith Gives Hope 
And 
Hope Brings Joy 
And So 
There Is No Need Or Possibility Of Us Christians-Called 
To Be Desolate, Joyless ... Hopeless! 

Afflictions Will Come
And
Faith Will Be Tested And Tried 
But
Jesus Christ 
 Is 
The Joy Of Our Living: Rejoice And Be Glad! 

Our Lord And God Reigns And Rules 
And 
We Are Blessed! 
Trust And Obey
And 
Sing Praises To The Eternal God 
Who Loves You, Personally! 
Practice Peace And Be At Peace 
In Jesus Christ Our Soon-Returning King!

AMEN!!!

B.C.W.: The Packaged Deal

Eat The Bread!
Make The Connection
And
Witness To The World!
This, Brethren
Is 
Your Employment
When You Choose To Walk With The Lord!

The Bread ...

The Bread Is The Word Of God
Pure, Clean And True!
It Satisfies The Hungering Soul
And
Always Blesses You!
That's Bible Truth!

The Connection ...

The Connection Is Your Communication
Your Prayers To The Lord
Honest, Heartfelt, Willing!
They Take You Up To The Lord Of Life
And
Your Urge To Sin They Are Killing!

The Witness ...

The Witness ... Your Witness To The World
Tells The Good News To Friends And Others!
It Tells Of What The Lord Has Done For You!
It Encourages Them To Take That Holy Hand
So That They Will Be Blessed Also
And
It Also Helps You In Your Walk Of Faith To Grow!

When We Eat Bread Of Life
We Taste And Chew And Savor!
What We Savor, We Swallow!
What We Swallow, We Digest!
What We Digest, We Are Nurtured Thereby

And

Because The Word Speaks Of Confession And Repentance
We Must Do Our Due Diligence
And
Dig Up And Cast Out The Dead Works
And
Fill Up On More Of What Gives Real Life
So That We, Fortified, May Win 
Aka Emerge Victorious
In The Mortal Strife!

When We Pray
We Acknowledge Jesus Christ As Lord And King
Creator, Redeemer, Hope, Help
Savior ... Everything
And
Trusting The Love That Will Not Let Us Go
We Bind Ourselves To Him Who Paid Our Price
And
In So Doing
We Give Short Shrift To Him Of The Demonic Device!

When We Witness To The World
We Cement Our Own Faith
And
We Give Strength To The Word That
The Lord Of Life Took Our Disgrace
And
Blessed Us And Cleaned Us
And
Clothed Us Anew
And
Has Taken Us Into His Dwelling
Where All Enduring Residents 
Are Grace-Filled, Heart-Holy 
Loving, Kind And Ever True!

Full Disclosure
Is The Way Of The Lord ...

Real Christians Will Really Suffer: Expect Suffering!
The Light Afflictions That We Suffer Are Appointed By The Lord 

And 

Are For Our Eternal Good 

And 

For His Glory

And 
Should Be Patiently Borne 
Because

The Lord Glorious
Has Promised To Never Leave Us Nor Forsake Us
And

He Has Given Unto Us The Holy Spirit Of Truth 

For Our Personal, Physical, And Spiritual Comfort! 
We Will Grow In Grace
So That We Shall, In Peace, See His Lovely Face!

The Same Cannot Be Said For Those Given Over To Evil 

Who Shall See Themselves In Desolation

Ruined ... Alone

Bereft Of Any Comfort For Their Wayward Souls!
They Shall Never Know 
The Peace That Pervades The Heavenly Home!

Understand And Accept This ...

Afflictions Point Us To The Word 
And 

Keep Us From Straying! 

Trust The Lord ... Wholly!
Take His Holy Hand ... Solely! 
Glory Awaits The Faithful ... Surely! 

In Jesus Christ

Is

Our Perfect Peace!
