==Where are you?== | |||
There are a number of stages that people find themselves in: | |||
===There are problems in the message=== | |||
If you are a true Christian, you will realize that there are huge spiritual problems, in message churches. For example, when people leave, they are shunned and forgotten. But Jesus told us: | |||
:''“Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them—what do you do? You leave the other ninety-nine sheep in the pasture and go looking for the one that got lost until you find it. When you find it, you are so happy that you put it on your shoulders and carry it back home. Then you call your friends and neighbours together and say to them, ‘I am so happy I found my lost sheep. Let us celebrate!’ In the same way, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine respectable people who do not need to repent.<ref>Luke 15:4–7 (GNB)</ref> | |||
===I have so many questions=== | |||
Listen to the [http://offtheshelf.life Off The Shelf] podcast! You will find interviews with people just like you. | |||
Are you simply ‘questioning’ the message based on what you have read or heard about [[Humble Pie#Problems With Prophecies|failed prophecies]] or [[Credibility|problems with William Branham's honesty]]? | |||
You may be afraid to ask anyone about your questions for fear that they will judge you or possibly even turn their backs on you. | |||
===I no longer attend a message church=== | |||
While you may no longer attend a message church, you may still be plagued with doubts. Is the message correct? Am I headed for the tribulation? Is there hope for anyone outside the message? | |||
