Many of us have given up trying to find a church which is grounded in the Word of God, and preaches on Bible prophecy. At least in this part of the country (East Coast) it is extremely hard to find this kind of church.
Many evangelicals are falling for the “Return to Rome” apostasy. Ecumenical Christians (that’s an oxymoron) who are not grounded in the Word of God, will fall for anything! Even Baptist churches are following the bread crumbs back to the Vatican. It’s truly alarming!
My husband and I have found so many wonderful, Bible believing, Israel loving Christians on Facebook. We call them our Facebook church! And when we want sound, Biblical preaching, we go to Pastor JD Farag, and even to old videos of Adrian Rogers, who is so blessed to be in the presence of Jesus.
Satan
Of course, the evil one is always on standby to attempt to corrupt people on Facebook. Have you noticed that you can read the most uplifting teaching from the Word, at the bottom of the page, there invariably are pictures of scantily clad women and I’m sure for our brothers in Christ, this is a strong temptation. My husband is practicing averting his eyes. They say if you do something for a month, it becomes a habit! This is a great habit 🙂
Home groups in these last days
Fellowship in person is very important. I am praying for a group of true believers to gather in our home. There is something very powerful and edifying about being among others who love our Lord Jesus as we do.
I believe that with persecution coming (did you think it will be confined to the Middle East?) that gathering together in one’s home will probably be the only way that we can worship together. And there is always a chance that the internet will be either taken down or controlled. I always encourage Christian Facebook friends to have a list of phone numbers of the people to whom they have grown closest.
If you have a good church – you are so blessed!
Indeed you are blessed! But make sure that your church has home groups too. Brethren, things are coming, just as Jesus said, and we must be prepared. We are hated by the world because they hated Him first.
The world is our mission field
Another wonderful thing about the internet is that we are not constrained in any way (so far) to share the wonderful Gospel of Christ. Scripture, articles and teachings, and other evangelical tools are available to us. We never know how many people we are reaching for Christ!
Mark 16:15:
“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.”
Discipleship
We are able via the internet to help those who have made a decision for Christ. Also, there are untold number of groups – just waiting to help the babe in Christ to grow in Him.
It’s a different world
I do believe that because Jesus is all knowing, He made the internet possible, so that all of creation could hear and read His words of life! What an amazing God we serve!
Unbelievers on our FB lists are watching
We never know how many who do not believe, will read Scripture from our pages and will be drawn by our Lord! It’s truly amazing how many people can be reached!
Luke 19:10
“For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.”

MARANATHA!
“Many of us have given up trying to find a church which is grounded in the Word of God, and preaches on Bible prophecy. At least in this part of the country (East Coast) it is extremely hard to find this kind of church.” Yep, they’re hard to find in the upper Mid West, too.
Tim and I are thinking of visiting a Calvary Chapel church in our area. We love Pastor JD and many other pastors from this denomination.
Amen is a term used all to often as an expression of agreement. When the Holy Spirit quickens our heart to the point that we just want to shout unending praise, we can know God is in it.Then Amen is appropriate. Once in awhile a post comes along that makes me want to shout, that’s right! Wow this is good stuff! The advise quoted falls into this category. I have thought for some time that it may come to the point of time that we may have to return to the house church as it was in the first century. While some may miss the tradition, its the meat of the gospel that, I believe, makes God shout Amen!
AMEN AND AMEN!!!
The Roman roads (Highways) of old was build to link the known world of the day which allowed news, messages and orders to move, in short time, to the furthest outskirts of the then Roman empire. This timing of these roads also laid the foundation to spread the Gospel throughout the Roman empire and further. That is the time G_D send Jesus to Israel (Isa 49:1-7 [:6];Jn 3:16)
My point is, the setting once again is in place for G_D to again to do something amazing, THE ELECTRONIC HIGHWAY that goes wherever it ever goes just like the Spirit of G_D, so that this very GOOD NEWS may be carried to the four corners of the world and even out into space. Do I have to say more!!! The time is now. ARE YOU READY TO WELCOME JESUS!!!! Bless you who are waiting for and on the Yehoshua HaMashiach, our Lord Jesus G_D’s anointed!!! Maranatha!!!
I think we still need fellowship face to face.
Hebrews 10:25 (NASB)
25 not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near.
The Word says it, so it’s truth! That’s why hubby and I are still searching for a church. We are thinking of a Calvary Chapel church in our area.
