Doctrinal Answers Without the Power
Most Christians have attended or do attend some kind of Bible study. That is good. But the only Bible study the world will attend is the ones with arms and legs. Yes, we should be walking and living epistles that manifest in life what is written on pages. But does it ever occur to the orthodox and discernment community about the reason why the visible church is disintegrating into liberalism, occultism, and outright apostasy? Is God’s gospel power not powerful enough to affect the church and stand in the gap? If so, then why are lies and deception the unmistakable wave of the modern church?
It’s because the “orthodox” community has no power, only an orthodox creed to which we point. Until we look into a mirror things will continue as they are, and we will be forced to hold doctrinal water buckets to catch the leaks but not repair them. But then again, we can use the falling away as a shield from admitting our own desperate need of revival.

Yes, it must be extremely confusing to those who are trying to follow the church's example. It's confusing even when you're in the church!
thats how I know there is very little time left, God's word is not at all contradictory or confusing. The modern day church seems as confusing and lost as the world, very far from God's word!
