Comment to Jakarta and Nairobi, come in.

  • Thank you, brother, for the exciting update. I know that parts of it were difficult to share.

    I wish there were an army of likeminded ones... Oh my, I am saddened but always hopeful. Saddened on many fronts.

    Africa was the seedbed of the ancient faith, yet the Western church has largely ignored our brothers and sisters there. Ughhh, that is, with exception of the slave traders.

    Here, we spend more on pet food than Christian missions. Pets need to be fed, no doubt. But where are the priorities???

    To quote Jesus, is a person not more valuable than a sheep?

    Furthermore, surveys have shown that atheistic China is now viewed in a more favorable light than so-called Christian America.

    Let me try to draw a parallel: China comes into Africa and says what Christians should have been saying: "Let us truly help you. And let us serve you." However, this usually means: China needs your wealth and a right of way across your land. And, btw, we will supply our own laborers as we exploit your laborers. We don't really care that young children are underground for long shifts, mining lithium without masks or gloves.

    Reader, do you not see a parallel with clergyism? And of outside intervention? Clergyism says: Leave all the ministry to us - pay your tithes and show up - we will take care of the rest.

    Scriptures exhorts insiderS to oversee his church, voluntarily. Thus we read: "The elderS among you..." You did notice the S, didn't you?

    By outside intervention, I am also referring to the clergy producing machine know as the seminary, most of which now hold that all religions are essentially the same. Yes, there are exceptions but... precious few.

    Regarding the seminary itself, this statement is of course not to degrade spiritual training nor any category of knowledge over which Jesus is Lord. Which is every category.

    All learning and true education belong to Him. Christians, male and female, should be the most passionate to pursue it. Many are. Many have been.

      it is very difficult for saints to practice the word, am burdened.

      Luke 10:25-37 New International Version, The Parable of the Good Samaritan

      25 On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?” 26 “What is written in the Law?” he replied. “How do you read it?” 27 He answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.” 28 “You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.” 29 But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” 30 In reply Jesus said: “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. 31 A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. 32 So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33 But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. 34 He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him. 35 The next day he took out two denarii[c] and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Look after him,’ he said, ‘and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.’ 36 “Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers? 37 The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.”

      Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”
