Comments on: OTC #8: No Fellowship? Here’s 7 Ways to Deal With It https://theschoolofchrist.org/otc-8-no-fellowship-heres-7-ways-deal Preserving a Christ-Centered Faith Wed, 06 Apr 2022 16:40:20 +0000 hourly 1 By: God's Miracle Plan https://theschoolofchrist.org/otc-8-no-fellowship-heres-7-ways-deal#comment-6411 Sun, 30 Apr 2017 04:55:27 +0000 http://www.chipbrogden.com/?p=23324#comment-6411 Great truth. I agree that, among those on the outside, few seem to have left Institutional Christianity because of God’s revelation that it represents the harlot church system. I left because God blew my mind with this powerful truth and not because I didn’t like church, followed someone’s teaching, or was church hurt. So many outside of IC seem so apologetic & friendly to IC and want to live in harmony with it so to speak. Once God shows you that IC is leading people away from Christ, you can’t help but be passionate about speaking the truth.

Also, really connect with the idea that people have got to get over this insane drive to hold meetings. We are like zombies going from one meeting to the next without even any thought. It is as if holding meetings has become God’s greatest commandment and we have committed the worst sin if we did not attend some sort of formal meeting at least once a week. I did not suffer from the meeting withdrawals because God’s revelation immediately cured me of the meeting addiction.

Thanks for being a faithful elder walking outside of IC.

I was so… loving and inflamed for God at the beginning that I made certain prayers to God that shocked Christians… It was like: “I love you so much Heavenly Father I would not be outside Your Will. Act in my life, even if something in me or from me is against this, even if I do not understand what happens to me… but I give you permission to do everything You can as much as possible so that I can be in your will, in what you want for my life… You know me and you know what it would be possible for me to bear or not.”
And guess what? I really did not understand what happened to me in my life… but now I’m beginning to understand some things, through these teachings…
My conclusion is: it is not because we do not understand the circumstances of our lives, that God is not doing something in this life with these strange circumstances in which we feel more alone than ever and totally abandoned.
Thank you Chip

He encourage me just to be myself and go to Him! Guiltless desapear with him, slowly. It is a process! In us name we are safe and save!

God bless you and thanks for the great messages, I have learnt so much
