1Thessalonians 5:17 Pray without ceasing.
The West seems to have forgotten that Communism continues to be a threat to the freedom of many and especially religious freedom. Viet Nam is a place where many Westerners now visit to enjoy but it is a Communist nation and the freedoms of those from the West is not enjoyed by Viet Nam’s own people. Communism has not changed. As with Islam Communism hates Christians! Matthew 25:36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. We can still pray!!
Matthew 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
John 14:1 ¶ Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. 2 In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. 4 ¶ And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. 5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? 6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
The following tells about those (called nones) who are seeking to get to Heaven their own way! However, unless they repent of their sins and turn by faith to the Lord Jesus none of these “nones” will enter Heaven but will spend eternity in the Lake of Fire. Acts 20:21 ..repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.
Caedmon’s Call was a group I had never heard of before and I do not believe I missed anything. However, after reading the following on X I found out the man with the guitar is a Derek Webb. According to an article on the TGC web site https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/blogs/trevin-wax/return-caedmons-call/ Webb has ‘publicly renounced his Christian convictions. Today, he doesn’t consider himself a believer, although he holds open the possibility that being an atheist in regard to the Christian God doesn’t mean he’ll remain an atheist related to any and every God. He sometimes revisits his old songs, and he’s connected to a church (albeit one that falls outside of historic Christian orthodoxy in both theology and ethics).’ This is not a total surprise as many of these who have been involved in these fleshly music groups and ‘churches’ have renounced that which they never possessed.
Webb may have made a profession at one time in his life but he was never born again by the Spirit of God. What is sad is that so many so-called churches continue to push these groups and this fleshly music that leads to apostasy rather than a deeper faith and walk with the Lord. If, and I stress if, you are saved and for some reason are even considering going down this broad road of compromise please consider Revelation 2:4,5 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. 5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.
