In reply to Karin.

Thank you for writing this Karin, it is really encouraging for me to, read that someone else is also yearning for a genuine community of disciples. Every day I set my hope towards Jesus that he will guide me and genuine disciples together, who like you have grown to love the Lord with all their heart and would love to do nothing but ministering to Him.

Jesus has introduced me to such a disciple here and there, and so my hope has increased and my faith that it can be possible to have such a community as you described so perfectly well: “…fellowship with one another as it was for the early Christians where everybody knew them by their love for one another and nobody had need of anything because they had all things in common.”. And I hope you start finding some people too wherever you are sister.

The truth is this, though difficult to swallow for those who wants to follow their their egos.
Chip, grace be with you.

In reply to Jade Kennedy.

Well all I can say guys is that it will take more people like Chip to stand against the principalities and the powers within the church system so we need to come out from among them and be seperate
And stop the demonic fear of what man may think within each one of us
We are called soldiers of the Lord it’s high time we acted like one

My husband and I never intended to not go to church regularly. After 35 years of consistance involvement of our entire family, then going through very tough things in our family, and getting zero support from our church of 30 years, we clung to Christ, are walking strong with him, and only one daughter is attending and serving at our former church. The rest of us just do not want to be going where there is not basic love and caring. The Word is being well taught, but the behavior and attitudes there are not in line with anything that we understand our Jesus to be. We are home, loving Jesus, loving our family back to health through Christ, with no interest in whatever the church we went to thinks we ought to be going for. “Are you fellowshipping anywhere?” is all they ever ask us when they see us in public. No depth of caring besides, ‘Are we keeping the rules?’ so to speak. It is sad. It would be nice to gather with loving people who want to be Jesus with each other through thick and thin. We have that to offer. But it was and is not being reciprocated, and I find that very hurtful, unhealthy, and not the best place to be placing so much of our family, and personal treasure.
We are not bitter. There are people we miss. But there is much we don’t miss. I do not want to be anywhere that much with people who are not caring, but are gossiping, judging, and frankly, they do not even seem like we are hearing and walking with the same Jesus. It is odd to me. But we have to live this sweeter walk with Jesus. He was there with and for us. I think those that are His should be too. Or it is best to not invest there.

I just LOVE your articles Chip !! You write meat that is needed for spiritual growth and I am pretty much almost in all your articles in some form or another. I left “Church” end of 2011 and my walk with God has grown by leaps and bounds and has been BRUTAL to say the least but I have grown profusely in Jesus Christ and He has become MORE DEAR to me then anything else in this world. I can honestly say with confidence Galatians 2:20…..It is NO LONGER I who lives but Christ who lives in me. What I have walked through would kill a horse. Brutal is an understatement. I KNOW JESUS’ POWER IN MY VESSEL OF CLAY. I HAVE GONE THROUGH HELL THAT I FEEL IN MANY WAYS THE ENEMY HAS TRIED TO TAKE ME OUT…….IT IS A MIRACLE THAT I AM STILL HERE AFTER THE LAST 7 YEARS.

In reply to Chip Brogden. I totally agree Chip. My church denomination is full of apostasy, religious spirits and heresy and I am evangelical. I am treated like a periah because I have a different spirit ( the real Holy Spiti) not the false. And of course their mantra is "don't judge." I don't have any genuine fellowship, not even my husband or children. I am finding out lately that Christ is my all in all. It has not been easy because I am constantly under attack from the enemy. Finding you Chip and others has been a god send. Thank you Chip for your encouragement and letting me see that I am not alone. Blessings to all of you genuinely in Christ our Savior and Lord.

What an awe inspiring piece this is. My family and I have been lonely now for the past 4ti 5yrs, But never alone. Getting alone with Christ is the same as finding the narrow way or having experienced the Wilderness. All these have one common trait and that is for us to come to the fullness of who Christ is. And when we escape churchianity and becoming a place for The Lord , “”I in Him,and Him in me”” is when we will perfectly emulate and demonstrate who He is, and what His purpetual purpose actually is. Then He will draw people to you knowing you have one thing in mind and that is that He (Christ) might be glorified, and the fellowship that is born out of this, will be for the better. This s authentic fellowship in The Lord .

Chip, Peace be with you, Like you and Karla, I have not been part of the system for many years. But I am part of Him and it is so great to know The Truth and be made free. The Path is narrow but the company is great. Thanks for all the encouragement.
