Out of the box and hard to find


Over the centuries the church has gotten pretty good at telling us what the Lord will do.  And they’ve gotten fairly good at telling us what we should do.  In a way they have put the Lord Jesus in a very large box.  And they have said in many ways  “Thus far he shall go and no more.”

By placing the Lord in a box, they have strived to do the same thing with all people.  But I have witnessed a most wonderful thing.  I am finding strong believers in the Lord Jesus outside of the Established Church.

I have no idea what the church is supposed to do about this.  The Lord and His people have escaped their box!   Its not like they can tell everybody they were wrong.  So they keep writing answers to a problem they can’t define.

I do see one beautiful aspect of this that may be missed by many.  When a persecution  breaks out against the Lord’s people,  there will be a whole lot of Christians unaccounted for.  The enemy will go for the Established Church,  only to find it relatively empty.  The enemy may conclude that Christians are few in number.

I am sure the greater Minds then mine are capable of drawing better inferences.  But this satisfies my curiosity as to why the Lord has broken out of the Established Church’s box.
