Our Daily Manna 7th August 2020 [Friday] – A Compromising Army Is A Defeated Army
Our Daily Manna (ODM) Topic: A Compromising Army Is A Defeated Army
OUR DAILY MANNA 7TH AUGUST 2020 – A COMPROMISING ARMY IS A DEFEATED ARMY!
The United Methodist Church is reported to be the 3rd largest religious denomination in the United States. Now, the church is ready to split into more than one denomination due to GAY MARRIAGE CONTROVERSY!
The United Methodist Church is the largest mainline Pentecostal denomination and among the only remaining one of such churches that still do not perform gay marriages. The church has fought bitterly about LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender) inclusion for years and leaders often feared that the fight would lead to division! But in early January 2020, some leaders of the church announced that they had agreed to abandon a “traditionalist Methodist” denomination which would continue to oppose gay marriage as well as the ordination of LGBT clergy.
The church will now allow those who would not follow the “traditional Methodist” denomination to go ahead with same sex marriage and LGBT Clergy! Oh, my God! Strange you would say, but never forget that one of the greatest strategies of Satan is for us to have a compromising church. He knows that a compromising church is a defeated church! The Bible gives us an example in Revelation 2 of such a church: it was THE CHURCH AT PERGAMOS! Located in Pergamum, the capital of the former Asia Minor, known for its idol worship, Pergamum housed the ALTAR OF ZEUS and was the center of Caesar worship. Sexual immorality, open wickedness, coldness to God, Idolatry, etc, were commonplace. The sin of Pergamum was in its COMPROMISE AND TOLERANCE of evil.
The great British preacher, Campbell Morgan penned: “It is a remarkable thing that the church of Christ persecuted has been the church of Christ pure. On the other hand, the church of Christ patronized has been the church of Christ impure.” Did you get that? Refuse to PATRONIZE THE WORLD! Refuse to sit ON THE FENCE! I call it, FENCE CHRISTIANITY! It’s also called THE LUKEWARM GENERATION! Most people are like that today: They go to church, they certainly want to go to heaven, but they still want to live in sin. ERROR! See 1 John 2: 6 – “He that saith he abideth in Him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.” That should be your cry – different in conduct from this evil generation! Pray now!
