The article My church is closing, and I don’t know what comes next — for me, or America is very instructive for the Bible literate believer. Obviously, for example, the author of that article has no clue about many matters concerning the Bible doctrine of the church and the application of that doctrine. However, he does present some detailed facts about the state of “religion” and the church in America.
The Bible doctrine of the church is explained in the resources on the Simply Church website. The Bible explanation of apostasy of the church, in The Doctrine of the Church gives the Bible explanation for the apostasy of the church and applies it to the American landscape.
As is explained in materials on the Simply Church website, it is too late for America; She has passed the point of no return. More importantly, most churches are apostate and dead or dying or nonexistent; the apostasy of the church is the reason for the state of America. But God, as always, has a remnant. Everything is working out just as God says it would. Mankind, in general, is sinking into depravity at accelerating rate. World events are playing out like God said they would.
We can know, from God’s word, that he will take his children to their new home and wedding ceremony, and, after seven years, establish, by force, His millennial kingdom!
The local church sanctified and cleansed by the washing of water by the word——————–A ministry of Charity Baptist Tabernacle of Amarillo, Texas led by Pastor Ben Hickam. "Would to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me. For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ" (2 Corinthians 11:1-3). ————————————Jerald Finney, a Christian Lawyer and member of Charity Baptist Tabernacle, having received this ministry in the Lord, explains how a church in America can remain under the Lord Jesus Christ and Him only. "As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen" (1 Peter 4:10-11; See also, Ephesians 4::1-16 and 1 Corinthians 12:1-25). "Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it" (Colossians 4:17). "And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church" (Ephesians 1.22; See also, e.g. Colossians 1:18).
