Today was a historic day in our work in Sierra Leone. We received an invitation to speak in Nigeria, the northern most provinces of Sierra Leone and a black man shared the pulpit with a white man. Not to mention Steve accused a man of being a spiritual prostitute, by name (even wrote it on the board).
Brethren, we have not beat around the bush. Language has been bold, plain and easy to understand. We have been confronting the institutional issues that plague the churches in Sierra Leone. Those issues have been refuted, confronted and exposed. All three of us have worked that into whatever lesson we have taught. Some have attempted to defend those practices, but when challenged to produce a single scripture to defend the institutions, none have been given.
A call has gone out each day for brethren to repent of their unscriptural practices. Some have while others have refused choosing material riches over spiritual correctness. One man said he would change if we would provide him with support to preach the unperverted Gospel. One man said that $100 a month was not enough to get him to leave the World Bible School. This gentleman, sadly, has made himself a spiritual prostitute of himself.
Christian Asgill and Theophilus Kartuche, at Priscilla Street, have renounced all ties to institutions and are being evil spoken of by some of the Sierra Leonean brethren because they have stood for the truth. Brethren, we cannot abandon these good men and must uphold their hands as they suffer evil words at the hands of perverted practioniers and teachers.
Justin, Steve and I are enjoying each others company. We joke with one another and unwind together. I am so blessed by our great God to travel with such talented and capable Gospel teachers. I don't think Justin has always know what to think of Steve and I. If we can just get Justin to put the diverter on the shower down after his shower,we may make it to the end of our journey.
Indeed, God is good ...all the time!
