I can hear them now: That is not “Only Faith” or “Only Grace” or whichever other Solas they subscribe to. In America they teach an antinomian grace, and they say [in so many words] grace must be antinomian to be grace at all. In Saudi Arabia Muslims know that believing in Jesus is not an easy believism. It is a radical choice, because to receive Jesus is to become His witness, His martyr. There are Muslims who sincerely believe that Jesus is the Son of God, but remain Muslims because it is too much to give up. It is too costly. They love their own lives. Yet in America the call to Christ is not costly at all. These Muslims would “accept Christ” and be counted as one of the faithful where it doesn’t cost them a thing. What happens when persecution comes here? You have written a tremendous article that serves the body of Christ well, but I disagree with you in one area. Very hard to find a church where disciples run it. Extremely hard. There are lay people far more worthy to pastor a church than these usurpers we have now. At least in my town it is like that. Tons of churches, but none serving the Lord. A disciple finds himself walking alone or having to move to a city where a known good church is. But in other cities they tell me the same thing. To find a real church is like hunting for hens’ teeth.
