Church On The Frontier
Frank
The moment Christ gives us faith to stop trusting our
"righteousness" and start trusting him to be our Righteous
Substitute so he regards his righteousness and victory ours,
we have eternal life.
(Romans 4, Ephesians 2, Philippians 3, John 6, 1 Peter 1,
Preface to Luther Latin Works)
Where the gospel is visible, there the Church is visible.
Where the gospel is not visible, there the Church is not visible.
Once again as during the dark ages, the Church is in the
wilderness. But unlike during the dark ages, the gospel
is visible on the Frontier, the ultimate Frontier, Christian
newsgroups, that remote but worldwide open forum
beyond the control and suppression by the vast
religious systems that have driven the gospel
onto the Frontier until the Rapture of the Church.
This flight, as was during the dark ages, is the spiritual parallel
of the literal event to yet occur at the end of the Tribulation
generation that comes after the Rapture of the Church when
the elect of Israel in Judea flee into the wilderness of Judea:
And the woman fled into the wilderness,
where she hath a place prepared of God,
that they should feed her there
a thousand two hundred and threescore days.
(Revelation 12:6 KJV)
