Dear brethren, I have written a new article about my personal experience in Christian growth. You can read it at: www.tirse.net/disputations.htmI hope it is a blessing and a help to those who are struggling between the convictions that God has given you, and the brethren that would pull you down to the quagmire of destruction.

Brother Tony that was great, Praise God for your convictions, so few have them these days, my husband and I have been talking over the exact things you listed here. The folks have no fruit, God said we would know them by the fruit they bear, and also if they love the brethren, well you know how most of them feel about the brethren, I have never seen so many IFB people losing the testimony of Jesus Christ. If they would quit arguing with each other, and go about the Father's business as Christ, the name Christian means to be Christ like, and so few are. Now don't get me wrong I am just an ole sinner saved by grace, and I sin everyday, but the Holy Spirit convicts my heart when I do and I ask for forgiveness. None of us are perfect and I certainly do not expect perfection in any one, just some love for the brethren and a willingness to be used of our Lord and Saviour, He is so faithful to us, He never lets us down, if we just keep our eyes fixed on Him, we will fight that fight and finish that race that is before us, God bless you dear Brother and I will add you to our prayer list also.

Thank you so much for your encouraging words and for your prayers, they are so needed right now.
I have been officially asked by my church to remove all references to the church from my website. It seems that my testimony and hard work do not amount to much. They were particularly mad at my stance about xmas. So, unfortunately, there are no more refereces to my church anywhere on the site, except for our prayer card. I might have to block that out too.
God bless you all, just keep serving God and live with a good conscience toward Him, sooner or later this will happen to you too.
Br. Tony
