A Question or Two

 

 

In the ending of the movie, The Bridge Over the River Kwai, Alec Guinness says something like, “What have I done?”

 

Maybe a time will come in America when the professing church says the same thing. When it will see that it has been building bridges on behalf of those who would enslave it and others. Maybe a time will come when pastors and other church leaders repent of leading their people outside a monogamous relationship with Jesus Christ and into promiscuous political, economic, and nationalistic alliances. Maybe we will return to our identity as citizens of heaven (Phil. 3:20). Maybe Jesus will once again be our All in all.

 

There are two women in Revelation. One is the pure and holy Bride of Christ, devoted to her Husband – no matter what, suffering for her faithfulness to Him, refusing to soil herself. The other is the Whore.

 

Now, dear friends…just how are we acting?

 

What are we teaching?

 

Who are we married to?

 

“For I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy; for I betrothed you to one husband, so that to Christ I might present you as a pure virgin. But I am afraid that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds will be led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ” (2 Corinthians 11:2–3).
