Democracy, Gospel and Ministry

I will still fellowship and debate with my Christian brethren even though I may not agree with their beliefs. I just don't worship with them and I won't submit to their teachings. We cannot close our minds to everything that is happening around us because if we do that, others are grieved by burdensome legalism. In our Christian fellowship (not individual), we must recognize that the Holy Spirit desires to take us and lead us, and use us as instruments through which He can express Himself in the Christian community (Christian Forum). Christian Forum is an "Online Ministry" that is different, special and unique.

In this world, I have learned that by doing of the will of God leaves me no time for disputing about His providence plans and why things are happening around us. I also have learned that democracy does not give me any real power at all because in God's providence, He allowed democracy to basically swamps each of us Christians among non-believers. Through Divine Providence, we have democracy in order to share spiritual revival that only the Holy Spirit can provide. Democracy provides possibilities and opportunities without any restrictions to share the Gospel. Andrew Murray said "Faith expects from God what is beyond all expectation."

"The Gospel is open to all; the most respectable sinner has no more claim on it than the worst sinner" D Martyn Lloyd-Jones, Welsh & Reformed preacher and writer.

All beliefs about God are problematic. We are not to believe something that we dare not think over as John Calvin once said, "What we think about (God) of ourselves is but foolishness and all we can say about Him is without savour". We are to expect great things from God while attempting great things (i.e. Gospel) for God.

"You never know how much you really believe anything until truth or falsehood becomes a matter of life and death to you." C.S. Lewis
It is better to be an atheist than being a hypocrite Christian. Faith is the root of works that only the Holy Spirit provides. Without the Holy Spirit, the root is dead, even our own works are dead even as a hypocrite. Andrew Murray have said "Self is the root, the branches, the tree, of all the evil of our fallen state". A humbled Christian is a Christian with flaws which humbles them that is more useful to God than hypocrite action that puffs them up. I am reminded of this quote by D.L Moody, "Character is what you are in the dark". With that thought, a true character is what and who you are in Christ.

"Hypocrites we are: but we are on the way to liberation even from our own hypocrisy" Charles Elliott

"Just because you go to Church it doesn't mean to say that you are a born again Christian." Billy Graham

"Some are dead; you must rouse them. Some are troubled; you must comfort them. Others are burdened; you must point them to the burden-bearer. Still more are puzzled; you must enlighten them. Still others are careless and indifferent; you must warn and woo them" Charles Haddon Spurgeon, Calvinist Preacher

"Happy are they who know that discipleship simply means life which springs from grace, and that grace simply means discipleship". Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Lutheran Theologian

"To put the matter at its simplest, Jesus Christ came to make bad men good." James Denney, Scottish Theologian

"If God sends us on stony paths, He provides strong shoes." Corrie ten Boom
"I want to lobby for God" Billy Graham
