I know the proud flesh wants to serve Christ, by striking out new paths. Proud man has a desire to preach new doctrine, to set up a new Church; to be an original thinker, to judge, and consider, and do anything but obey. This is no service to Christ. He that would serve Christ must follow him; he must be content to tread only in the old footsteps, and go only where Christ has led the way. It is not for you and me to be originals; we must be humble copies of Christ. There must be nothing about our religion of our own inventing; it is for us to lay thought, and judgment, and opinion at the feet of Christ, and do what he bids us, simply because he gives the command.

You look at the state of most churches in the West today, and its as though, that church belongs to them. They do most anything to get results. What results are those? Seeing more people in the church, who in turn follow what is going on, being ignorant to what repentance, salvation etc are about.
Sad, but we need to see we don’t fall into the same trap, and to work out our salvation with fear and trembling.
You know, it’s so weird having to log in. But, its needful.
You have to log in now? Yeesh…Wordpress is sure having it’s troubles. I haven’t changed anything except disabled the infinite scrolling. Will look into this.
Yes, I have to log in now. Its bit of a drag, so I guess it might stop people from commenting.
Hope it can be sorted out.
I don’t get that as I looked into the settings and the option for making commentors log in wasn’t checked. Sorry for the inconvenience.
