As regenerate believers, we are to be salt and light, regardless of the blowback. I encourage all sanctified saints to keep at it, we are all Jesus has.

Potent Theological Discipleship Training: according to the Gospel of Ezekiel 36:25-27

Before the creation of time and its physical universe, the omniscient Spirit (i.e. predestined ‘New Wine’) of the Creator-Bridegroom’s agape love ‘foreknew’ (i.e. inseminating intercourse within) the circumcised ‘new wineskin’ heart’s of Yahweh’s Messianic holy seed (i.e. Abel, beloved Jacob, and wise virgins within Christ’s Bride). The Potter’s agape Holy Spirit never knew/foreknew (i.e. fornicating intercourse within) the wicked uncircumcised ‘old wineskin’ hearts of the Devil’s accursed children of perdition (I.e. Cain, Esau, Judas and foolish virgins from Christ’s Bride whom Yahweh hatefully never knew).

Agape is the Holy Spiritual Seed that omnipotently flows exclusively from the heart of Yahweh’s holy-theocratic nature. “We (i.e. the elect wise virgins in Christ’s holy-theocratic Bride) love, because He first loved/foreknew us” (1 John 4:19). It is a faithfully repentant obedient fruit of Christ’s Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:22), meaning it is supernaturally produced within the believer’s regenerated ‘new wineskin’ heart. No “agape” New Wine, no salvation.

The Democratic (501c3) Laodicean Church in Harlot Babylon’s Socialistic UN Security System

Unfortunately, carnal-minded foolish virgins are humanistic and emotional in their lukewarm hypocritical relationships with other ‘old wineskin’ hearted false believers. They meet with those they “like”; they seek deeper relationships with those with whom they have an emotional fleshly connection. They are no different to unbelievers in how they relate within their apostate democratic church settings. They attend Uncle Sam’s lukewarm Laodicean churches of Democracy’s Angel of Light because they “like” the Pastor, or the Worship, or whatever else.

Not unlike what happened in the apostate days of Noah, when deluded digitally-marked [SS#] foolish virgins went to Big Brother’s Masonic (501c3) local church because it was their Socialistically-Secured community? Without oil in the darkened lamps they foolishly carry, have they not strayed from the “agape” of the wise virgins within Christ’s holy-theocratic Bride? Are not we foolish virgins totally reliant on those we “like” for democratic accountability? Isn’t this why Jesus separated us foolish virgins from the wise virgins within His holy-theocratic bride?

If we foolish virgins are ever going to get Harlot Babylon’s democratic Laodicean churches back on the Broadway track to how Jesus wanted them, let’s start with a fresh ecumenical look at ourselves and how we hypocritically behave with other false Xian believers first, before we begin evangelizing the lost!

Thank you John for your insightful comment. Laodicea is indeed where our “churches “ are today. No commendation from the King.

"That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in Love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the Love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God." Ephesians 3:17-19 KJB

"Rooted and grounded in agape"

Dear Geoff, thank you, brother. These words in your letter need to be heard by all. Truly, this is the most important topic, now more than ever. Yes, agreed, "agape is definitely at the top of the list."

Isn't it interesting to note that in this fallen world, nobody wants to say I love you anymore, even the "Humanistic Emotional love" doesn't allow it to be said. Saying "I love you" has become the most dreaded three words on the planet. Unknown to most, these three words are now unconsciously tightly restricted from everyone's vocabulary. People have believed the lie that saying 'I love you' is forbidden, and sadly, that kind of earthly love isn't even the real love.

Yes, brother, it's all about (agape). And most importantly, these simple words must be a part of our humble daily prayers. "LORD, teach us how to Love like You do, more and more with each passing moment, to Love everyone the way we should."

"By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another." John 13:35 KJB "agape one to another"

GOD bless you all!

"And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold." NKJB

That's great, Geoff, because this topic truly needs to be discussed in more detail and at length. As the days of darkness increase, we, as followers of Jesus, must also increase in His Love as witnesses to the world that there is hope beyond the Chaos. Without a doubt, Jesus is coming soon, and just as He said, the love of many will grow cold. And as the people's hearts grow colder, ours at the same time must grow hotter, for our first Love, Jesus, and for everyone, everywhere, believers and unbelievers.

"And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma." Ephesians 5:2 NKJB

GOD bless you!
