A family in a home where parents are divided and the children are confused are left to the wiles of the enemy!
When the enemy comes in like a flood, there must be a "standard" raised up
against it! Have conservatives lost their fear of God?No doubt this spirit of division has "tried" to take over every home and every
house of God! Homes make up families and families make up the churches.
Have the people of God lost their fear of GOD! The fear of the LORD is the
beginning of wisdom, knowledge and understanding. The fear of man bringeth
a snare, a trap.
May God help us all, in Jesus Name!

Sis. Falla, Absolutely. I think where we err is when the 'standard' we raise up is about clothing and not about
:
When the enemy comes in like a flood, there must be a "standard" raised up
against it!

That Standard must be the Spirit of the LORD! God will use those

He chooses to move through to raise up that Standard, but it must be the

The Standard talked about in the Bible is about who's banner we fight/go to war under. That "STANDARD" is Jehoveh Nissi...and the train of his victories fills the temple.
I agree that a house divided against itself cannot stand. We are coming to the end of the age, and instead of tearing each other down we must entertwine ourselves together like a three corded rope. Most of the people on this forum, I love and respect no matter what title they use or is used by others to describe them.
There is much diversity in the children of God. We need to embrace the things we agree on. It would appear that I am liberal, but if the truth be known...I am so conservative in doctrine that I would shock some.
Acts 2:38.
Mark 16:16, and
John 3: 3, 5 is what I believe in.
