Yes, I'm a Lonely Christian... Are You?
If you are also a 'lonely Christian,' then please take heart... We're in good company! Please be blessed and listen to this message preached by Pastor Curtis Knapp at New Hope Baptist Church in Seneca, Kansas:

Scripture Text:
1 Kings 19:10 (AKJV)
10 And he said, I have been very jealous for the Lord God of hosts: for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.
Details:
True Christians will almost always be lonely in this world. If you love God and love His Word, you are in an extreme minority. There are many Christians all over this world who have to travel miles and miles just to get to a true Bible honoring church. They are like Christians of old -- aliens, scattered throughout the world. What is comforting to the Christian, however, is to realize that Christ Himself experienced profound loneliness as a man and knows exactly how to sympathize with His people.

There are many lonely Christians out there sitting in church day after day.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to "meet" each other and take comfort in the fact that even our Lord was lonely. :) May He bless you this day, sister. :)
ReplyDeleteYou too my sister..
ReplyDeleteAmen! Great post. There are many lonely Christians indeed, but we are never truly "alone."
ReplyDeleteThanks! I appreciate your fellowship and look forward to your posts. :)
ReplyDeleteAngela! don't you know that there are more for us than against us! God Bless!
ReplyDeleteThanks Samuel! Yes, I know the good Lord has us surrounded with heavenly beings and this has brought me great comfort when sitting alone in Church or taking an unpopular public stand for truth or even when feeling so alone in my own home; I need your reminder. May the good Lord bless you for sharing your wisdom with me. :)
