In a world of so many religions and so much confusion about key issues in the word of God there is sadly a great need to stand for the truth. Almost everywhere you go around the world you can see people in the streets proclaiming their doctrine. Here in Bolivia only a few blocks from my house there is one of the largest Mormon temples in South America costing over 4 million dollars to build. While these groups are very prevalent there is another more subtle front that is becoming more popular all the time. The other night after church one of the families that had been coming for some time asked to talk to me after the service. They informed me that they had decided to return to their old church where they attended before. They very kindly explained that they realized that they held a different position than we did concerning the gifts of the Holy Spirit. The saddest part was when they told me that it was because of what their former pastor had told them and the “experiences” that they had had the were making this decision. It had nothing to do with what the word of God said but what they had experienced in their lives. They made it clear that it didn’t matter what the Bible said their minds were made up. I very nicely told them that each person has to stand before God and give an account and I prayed that the Lord would give them wisdom to understand what the Word of God says. Many of our forefathers had to pay the price sometimes with their lives standing for the truth. May we stand firm on the Word that sets men free. We praise the Lord that for each one that refuses to accept the truth there are many others whom the truth is setting free.
