Dear brother,

Be not dismayed. In the latter times (which I beleive we are living in) Hearts, will grow cold, many will have itching ears, seeking those who will nurture their need for validation, rather than righteousness.

Many churches have either become, tomb stones of a religious rite, where the annoting and presence of the Lord has long since left (usually by request i.e Holy Spirit..don't interfere with "Our agenda..")

Or it has become a prostituted institution, catering to a humanistic, (I'm OK, You're OK) Kumbiyah, with no more biblical conviction that a Christian post card.

There is a spirit of slumber, and lethargy withing much of the church community; quietly acceptabley staying under the radar of the Politically Correct.

I bleieve that much of the church "body" today that we see falling into the mega church feel good group, will be a part of the decieved body by the enemy. * If you put a frog in hot water, he will jump out, but if you put it in cool water, and slowly heat it, the frog will stay in there untill it boils to death. Why? Subtle, increments hardly detectable, untill they are completely decieved.

Take courage though, because more and more of the body of believers who have a passion for the "truth", the Lord is moving their heart, solidifying their convictions, and strengthening their stand.

Jesus is Lord!

God bless you
Pastor Mark
