At this time, I am a free subscriber, and I appreciate what you've shared here. I tell fellow believers, and they stare at me with blank eyes, that "The Adversary won a huge victory on Easter 2020." And, this truth boils my blood even today. You wrote:
"I wish for a Church which cares for the sick, not which casts them out. I wish for a Church which jeers death, not which renders it burnt offerings. I wish for a Church which is a Family, one in which blood is thicker than hand sanitizer. I wish for a Church which boldly claims its inheritance of undying Love poured out from Christ’s side; for a Church which glories in Christ’s strength being made manifest in her weakness."
I'm with you, Paul, and hope my small efforts henceforth will lead at least one lost soul into the hope and joy of Christ. I've got two precious names on my prayer list... please pray for "B" and for "S" that they'll repent and receive our Savior and our Lord very soon.
My blood has been murmuring along at a boil for several years now. :) I will be taking the briefest of sabbaticals from A Death Observed to write a post adjacent to the phenomenon you just described, coincidentally.
I will gladly pray for them. May you be a blessed Instrument of God in their lives.
