The past few days we have talking about the importance of the church and Satan’s attack on the Lord’s Church. Satan attacks the church’s authority, which is the Bible. He attacks its Gospel, which is the Gospel of grace. But Satan frequently attacks the very nature of the church.
Theology used to be the Queen of all the Sciences.
Pastors and preachers were well respected.
The Church was a major influence in society.
But, no more. No longer.
The Church is frail but in other respects she is very strong.
The Church is buffeted and under attack but she still lives.
The Church is not perfect because it is composed of imperfect people.
The Church has goats as well as sheep on its membership rolls.
The Head of the Church is none other than the Lord Jesus Christ and because of Him --- the Church will stand forever.
I love how the Apostle Peter phrased it in I Peter 2:9:
“But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, and a people for His own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light!”
May we live like it! What about church today?
