Extremist Cult
by Terry W. Benton
How will the liberal agenda begin the intimidation process against Bible-based churches? The fires of testing are beginning to stage the attack to silence churches that openly teach what the Bible says about the sexual immorality of homosexual activity. Not that this is the only sin we might preach about, but if you preach about it at all you fit the "hate crime". Already in parts of our present world the media has labeled Christians as “extremist cults”.
How many will go into silent mode? How many will abandon local churches to avoid persecution and intimidation? The brainwashing is actually happening through early public schooling. Those who stand upon the word of God will be hated and branded as "haters" and "extremist cults".
When the fires of testing begin at home, how prepared are you to stand up for Jesus and the inspired word of God? Some will begin “rethinking” whether those parts of the Bible were really inspired and will conveniently dismiss those parts, which means that they will compromise truth for the sake of convenience. Some within local churches will demand that topics not be mentioned or spoken about to avoid public labeling.
What was freedom of speech and freedom of religion in this country and common knowledge may soon be labeled as “extremist cults”. The fires of testing will sort the gold, silver, and precious stone believers from the “believers” who are wood, hay, and stubble (1 Cor.3). It will purify and solidify the true believer and will burn up those who have no depth of love and commitment to the Lord. When the smoke clears, where will you be standing? Where are you standing now?
