DON’T TALK ABOUT THE CATHOLICS!

There was a church split in our first genuine gospel church. Two of our pastors left and many ministries emptied. I worked in the church office and I absolutely loved doing that. It was sad beyond words to see so many people disappear so suddenly. After we left I was speaking with one of the pastors who also left and telling him that we were having difficulty finding a new church. I told him that our Catholic testimony wasn’t received. He said “then don’t talk about the Catholics.” What?? That was years ago before we realized the depth of infiltration by Roman Catholicism into the Protestant church.

Then there’s the pastor in our local church who told the congregation that the Bible is very clear that the church is to be unified. He went on to name the denominations that we should embrace, and the Catholics were among them. It’s not the first time I’ve heard leaders say that. In fact it seems quite common. It’s a rarity, for me anyway, to hear the contrary.

My husband wears his evangelistic shirts when we go out to run errands. 99+% of the time we are blessed by the words of encouragement from other believers, and there are many of them for sure. A couple approached us yesterday as we left the supermarket. (They invited us to visit their church, but their church embraces Rodney Howard Brown known as the Holy Ghost bartender. He’s also associated with the so called laughing revival. Nope!) When I began to talk about the ecumenical climate in the church there was zero interest. So this is the way it is. Only the Lord knows the grief in our hearts because of what we see going on in our churches today.

Hebrews 13:13 Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach.
