“The church has failed to tell me that I am a sinner.
The church has failed to deal with me as a lost individual.
The church has failed to offer me salvation in Jesus Christ alone.
The church has failed to tell me of the horrible consequences of sin, the certainty of hell and the fact that Jesus Christ alone can save.
We need more of the last judgment and less of the golden rule, more of the living God (and the living devil as well), more of heaven to gain and a hell to shun.
The church must bring me not a message of cultivation but of rebirth.
I might fail that kind of church, but that kind of church will not fail me.”
— Stanley High
Sadly, there are many churches within the “Christian” realm that are failing to be the light of Jesus Christ that they are supposed to be.
But, God has a church…made up of people who have separated themselves from the sin, wickedness, evilness, immorality, and carnality of this world…people who have decided and determined to live their lives in a way that pleases God.
Allentown Holiness Church is one of those churches that STILL preaches Biblical truth…instead of giving out good-sounding speeches that accept and accommodate man’s sinful nature.
Allentown Holiness Church is one of those churches that STILL stands for being separated from the sin…instead of compromising and trying to fit in with sinners.
Allentown Holiness Church is one of those churches that STILL tells sinners that sinful living will send them to hell…instead of lying to sinners and telling them that they can live any way they want because God just loves them as they are.
It IS true that God loves all people…but He hates sin in any form..and no sin or sinner will EVER dwell with Him in His Holy presence. (Revelations 21:27)
It IS true that God loves all people…it IS true that God is not willing that any should perish and go to hell…that’s why the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared unto ALL people. (Titus 2:11)
NOBODY will stand before God on Judgment Day and say, “God, you never dealt with me…you never revealed your Spirit to me…you never pricked my conscience when I was sinning.” because EVERYBODY KNOWS that God’s Spirit has “checked” their spirit when they were stepping into wrong-doing.
The fatal mistake that too many people make is that they reject God’s grace that He extends to them…they trade God’s grace for the momentary thrill of sinful living…and they keep trying to outrun the growing consequences of sinful living by reaching for yet another momentary thrill of sinful living…and the next thing they know, they have trampled on God’s grace for the last time…and they are stepping into eternity without God…condemned to hell by their own choices and actions…condemned to hell by their own rejection of God’s grace.
