Pastor Brian,

Your last statement about the document turning ineffectual by splitting into numerous versions, is right on target. This is the main problem with Christianity right now. With all due respect to your beliefs, this is exactly why I had to come home to the one fold and one shepherd that Christ Himself founded. He never meant for us to be separated like this. We are ineffectual as witnesses will we are divided. Does the Church need reform- definitely. But true reform should always come from within, not by starting anew. So many marriages have faced the same treatment as our dear faith- when unhappy, spouses just leave and start over. We know what happens to families with this behavior. What about our Christian family? Doesn't it deserve better? I hope one day soon, we will all be united as Christ prayed for on Holy Thursday- one faith, one hope, one baptism, one shepherd.
God bless you and yours,
Gregory

Dear Mr. Branam,

Thank you for this post. I think you have a balanced view on this matter.

A portion of the R.C. Sproul quote brought to mind a program from John Ankerberg's show quite a while back in which R.C. was a guest. Walter Martin was on the show so it must have been in the late 80's. D.James Kennedy was also on the show if my memory serves me right. Anyway, at one point Mr. Ankerberg asked R.C Sproul a question with regard to whether or not Protestants should unite with R. Catholics in other
matters, such as injustices in our society (soical issues). His reply, which was very emphatic, was in effect, NO, they should do their good works among themselves and we Protestants should do our own, separate from them. Perhaps R.C. has changed his mind.

I think the problem among many Reformed folk is that they would prefer to ignore most any other Christians that do not embrace the Reformed faith, instead rather associating and fellowshipping among themselves alone. There may be exceptions but those are rare exceptions.

Just my two cents, for what it's worth.

Glory be to Jesus Christ!

Good post, pastor Brian.
