Contribute Our Part

We sometimes wonder just how long our church can remain a separate church with the forces that are often put to bear and the pressure that is put to bear that we should modify here and there. But the Scripture gives us no right, no leeway. The Scripture, as already mentioned, was yesterday, is the same today and shall remain in all eternity.

And, beloved, in the conclusion of the Revelation, we find very vividly it was made known to John, that he that will take away from the Holy Scripture, he shall lose the reward that was promised there; and he that shall add to the Holy Scripture, until him shall be added the plagues that are described in the Revelation. And it should create a fear in the heart of every one of us and a concern that we preserve our church.

And thus if we individually serve our God, do our part individually, then the church will be preserved. But if we expect others to do it and, possibly, those that assume leadership, this cannot be done. We must every one of us contribute our little part and, beloved, a lot of little lights finally will shine in the darkness of the night. And this is what God expects of us.
