Unity Is The Name of The Game

In most of what I read these days, the word "unity" is paramount.  The Catholic church, which was not ecumenical before, is now becoming so. It has been accepting Anglican Catholics into the church at Rome. And it is now considering accepting the Orthodox Catholics. It also has its eye on the Oriental Catholics.  The theme of all of this is unity. 

When I was a younster, I heard preachers say that the Catholic Church was the "Great Whore" of the book of Revelation.  Well, I won't judge that. But with everyone going to the church at Rome, what is one to surmise?

The Catholic Church is united with the Lutherian congregations in this unification process. Soon, all the mainline churches will be drawn into this unity. This is the establising of the one world religion.  This one world religion does not require that all people worship the same way or hold to the same "god",  it is allowing other peoples, such as other faiths, to join the ranks and keep their own religion.

Well, religion is not what Jesus preached anyway.  I am not a religious person. I am a person of faith.  My faith is in the one true living God of all, in Jesus Christ as His Son and my Savior, and the Holy Spirit who resides in me as my teacher, counselor, friend, and helper.  I don't claim a religion, but I claim salvation in Jesus Christ. 

Those who do not know how to feed on God's Word for themselves in these days will be led into error as more of the clergy turn to the false ways.  Those who are strong in faith will stand, but will be considered harmful people by this false way.

If you don't want to be led astray, begin studying the Word. Spend time with the Father. Listen to and obey the Holy Spirit.  You don't have a lifetime in which to do this. Time is short, and the workers are few. Be about God's business of spreading the truth of the gospel to everyone you can reach.
