God has put into my heart about why persecution is on the rise in our country, he further directed that greater attention being given to certain practices within the Ecclesia (the Church) that may not fully reflect the teaching and character of God’s Word. Rather than pointing fingers or judging others, this should encourage all of us to examine our own lives and ministries before the Lord.
The Bible reminds us:
“Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the LORD.”
— Lamentations 3:40
The Lord desires His Church to walk in truth, holiness, love, humility, and integrity. Where correction is needed, may we receive it with a teachable heart and allow the Holy Spirit to bring genuine renewal.
“Judgment must begin at the house of God.”
— 1 Peter 4:1
Let this be not merely a time of criticism, but a season of repentance, restoration, and spiritual renewal. May we seek Christ above personalities, traditions, and human practices, and allow the Word of God to remain our final authority.
“Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.”
— John 17:17
May the Lord purify His Church, strengthen His people, and help us represent Christ faithfully in our country.
