He expected there would be opposition and difficulty and problems, but His Church would prevail . It's a winner. There is never any defeatism to the genuine Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. I believe that the church fails when it attempts to do what other human institutions can do instead of what only the church can do and what God has called it to do. For this midnight hour, approaching the 21st century, men that are burning white hot for God are needed.
Today there are too many dead preachers, preparing dead sermons, preaching to dead congregations.
Consequently, many churches are failing. But the genuine Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is alive and well. I believe that believers with Spirit-generated souls are indispensable to the Church as she enters into the new millennium. Some declare that in America Patrick Henry did more to pave the way for freedom and liberty than any other man in its history. I know not what course others may take.
