Another Loss in the Formerly Great Britain

 Fay Voshell at the American Thinker today has an article entitled An Enemy Has Done This that speaks to the downfall of the Anglican Communion in the formerly Great Britain. She is writing about the recent defacement of Canterbury Cathedral by graffiti "artists" at the invitation of the Dean of the Cathedral. Like everything else in the formerly Great Britain, the elites have attempted to smear s**t on everything from literature, to art, to the religion of the people.

So much is true. But Voshell, of all people should understand that a Cathedral is not where the LORD lives, but it is in the hearts and minds of the people themselves. Voshell should go ahead and name the enemy of whom she speaks, for it is none other than the Devil himself. As in Eden, these clerics are in a childish rebellion against our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ.  That these childish, rebellious little people were allowed to put on the robes of pastors and to pollute the gospel message is an utter disgrace.

It is no wonder that the Anglican Communion has been shedding people right and left.  This happens whenever the gospel is watered down to conform to the world and its sinful nature.  In congregations where the pastors preach the true, real gospel they are growing, having children and are attracting escapees from other denominations.

And what is that true gospel?  In the words of Pastor Kevin Martin at Our Savior Lutheran Church in Raleigh, North Carolina:

The good news is not that Jesus loves you just the way you are—so you should feel good about your lousy sinful self. NO! The good news is you can feel good about Jesus, the LORD who took on all your sins, damned and died of them on the cross, so that sharing his dying and rising, by faith alone in his Gospel and sacraments, you have the promise of rising free of your lousy old sinful self, one fine day…

The good news is that just like Jesus beat the crap out of Jacob at the Jabbok last week, so he beats us—up and down—sharing his dying with us daily, so this lousy old sinner we are so sick and tired of will get drowned, engulfed, and die everyday, flooded by Baptism’s cleansing waters, fed with Jesus’ body and blood, torn down and rebuilt daily into Christ’s Image.

So, to Fay Voshell, whom I like as a writer, and if she is reading this, and to others who are thoroughly disgusted by events in the Anglican church, run, don't walk, run from there and join a congregation that preaches the true gospel message.
