Chapter 9: Rationalization of Mankind

Page 25

The Apostle Paul told you that a time is coming when people will turn

away from the truth. I tell you that time has arrived. The truth of God’s Word is being ignored by mainstream Christians and Charismatics alike. In virtually every church, mythology is often practiced and various doctrines are rationalized. In order to accept those rationalizations, members of the

congregations have to turn their brains off. Indeed, they worship God in vain like Jesus said. True worship must involve truth, not rationalization.

Jesus said: “God is Spirit, and those who worship Him [God] must worship [God] in spirit and truth.” John 4:24

Note: These are the words of Jesus Christ telling us to worship God and that we are to worship God [not Christ] in both our spirit and truth.

Those who are serious students of the Bible cannot find a place of real comfort in churches filled with apostasy. Therefore, if you stand firm for all of God’s truth, you are most likely in some small fellowship. You are a remnant of God. Are you part of the remnant if you know the truth and yet

elect to remain silent within the apostate church? We know from the book of Revelation that God has remnants within various churches. However, I wonder how silent those remnants can be about God’s truth?

“Even so then, at this present time there is a remnant according to the election of grace.” Romans 11:5

“You have a few names even in [the church of] Sardis who

have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with Me in white, for they are worthy.” Rev. 3:4

I suspect that God has His people in virtually every church on earth. I

cannot say exactly why they are there, why they remain. However, those who belong to God and remain in an apostate church will be witnesses before God Almighty of the apostasy and rationalization of mankind. They also have not “defiled their garments” — which I take to mean that they do

not tolerate sin. Even in a sinful church, they do not partake in the sin and they do not condone it. They are agents of righteousness.
