What is the difference between uncompromising love and uncompromising faith when sharing the Gospel, fellow shipping, and defending The Faith?
I have no problem walking across the street to ANY fellowship as long as they profess Jesus as God.
I believe FA was tainted with what I call "Cootie Mentality." I mean, please, Jesus didn't get Cooties eating with harlots!
Where is this stand of "remaining true and pure to "The Faith" coming from when Jesus did not act that way?
BTW...I love all of my former FA brethren and I would be the first to hug them and eat with them.
When are we going to share about our broken hearts for the masses? Has anyone put as much energy into grieving for the lost as we have for defending The Faith?
We can't be used for anything, let alone think we are an elite Overcomer, until we have the compassion and genuine love for the deceived, possessed, and lost. This includes "spotted" Christianity. It includes any soul who is in jepardy of hell.
Our faith, however how doctrinely sound it is, is filth without love.
"Faith works by love."
Sorry about the rant and I direct all of this toward myself. As of late, I am tired of doctrine, even though it is so important.
I want tears flowing for the lost. I want compassion that comes from a broken heart when I look upon someone in ANY......ANY kind of trouble. I want revival.
 
The Kingdom of Heaven is already within us. I think we need brokenness for the fire to ignite what we have prepared for all of these years. JMHO
Dry doctrine has no life. Faith, from good doctrine, mixed with love is, I think, unstoppable.
