Loved ones, in this world of so many differing faiths and practices, all claiming Christ as their Savior, a restoration to God's way must be diligently preached. Were the prophets and apostles of Scripture living, they would be pressing for massive reforms by those who claim Christ as their Lord. They would be interested in no compromise with those doctrines or practices which are untaught in their own Spirit-inspired writings.
We are witnessing in the church today one of the saddest losses of the prophetic, apostolic vision. Rather than helping preachers and others who are astray, some of our preachers are compromising and sacrificing truth to ingratiate themselves with these misled groups. Their proffered fellowship with those in error hinders others of us who are striving to lead souls into the way of truth and righteousness. It can only bring the wrath of God upon all who thus "hinder the truth in unrighteousness" (Romans 1:18).
We wish that those who compromise for worldly advantage could have the attitude of C. H. Spurgeon, the renowned London preacher, who declared in a sermon long ago: "Everywhere, in all sects, I see inventions of men arrogating the place of the commandments of God. Let us sweep our temples, and return unto the Word of the Lord. Say not that ye believe the Book when you act as though it were not true. Will they believe it? Will they practice it? Will they abide by the standard?"
The standard has never changed. It continues to be the Bible, God's inspired word. It must be our guide and our law. God is so good. Love you. Samuel – 10 May 2026
