Disclaimer and Hope
Thus far in this forum I have lamented the woe begotten condition of modern
western Christianity. While I continue in my assertion that the "church"
largely has it's back against the wall as a consequence of it's slavery to
money, attendance numbers and secular social standards, I now realize hope
exists after all. While at least some standard must exist for a "church" to
claim any more than status as a country club, churches still exist that
meet that minimum standard. And today, I attended one Church in particular
that exceeded those minimum standards by so many orders of magnitude as to
be beyond proper description.
At Anchor Baptist Church of Lexington 1., I have been delighted by
Christian Education on a level I thought no longer existed. I have
encountered believers who invite blind people to Church rather than forcing
them to beg and then turn right around and feed them a meal fit for a king.
The worship was thoroughly Biblical, traditional without being tradition or
traditionalism.2. And the sermon delivered from the pulpit was among the
most mighty I have heard in my three decades with Christ. Based largely on
the book of Amos and the story of Lazarus and the beggar taught by Christ,
the lesson undoubtedly convinced any unbelieving soul in the building to
follow Christ. At the same time, any Christian with even an ounce of
Biblical aptitude was thoroughly convicted that they should never turn their
back on a fellow human being in need again. Amen and amen. Excelsior;
Ever higher Anchor Baptist.
