A Chosen Remnant

Our generation today has become dependent and convinced by their emotions, so they grab whatever appeals their senses and fulfill their appetites. It has become so widespread today that it has infected even our churches, our beliefs, and the way we view life. We have jettisoned so many vital truths, so precious that in the past centuries blood was spilled in order to protect the purity of its message, and today it was defiled by those who try to redecorate it to make it more appealing without knowing that they have muddied its clarity. The GOSPEL is being ransacked of its power by people who is peeling off its truth layer by layer.

The seriousness of sin is being swept under the rug.

The wrath of God is regarded as blasphemy.

Holiness is no longer an emphasis.

Atonement has lost its meaning.

Hell has disappeared.

What happened? Where did it all go? A Gospel downgrade is on the process, and many are unaware.

Yet despite of all these things, I am rest assured that God is sovereign and all things is for His own glory and purpose. God will be glorified. Yes, He will be magnified and his renown will be all throughout the generations.

"God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew. Do you not know what the Scripture says of Elijah, how he appeals to God against Israel? “Lord, they have killed your prophets, they have demolished your altars, and I alone am left, and they seek my life.” But what is God's reply to him? “I have kept for myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.” So too at the present time there is a remnant, chosen by grace."

Romans 11:2-5
