This week, we received a phone call from a Lighthouse Trails reader who told us she was trying to share some of our information with someone she knew. That person asked a leader in ministry about Lighthouse Trails, and the response she got was\u00a0Lighthouse Trails is against everything!<\/em> Our reader was asked this question, What\u00a0IS\u00a0Lighthouse Trails for?<\/em> We told our reader to tell this person the following:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. We are for spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ.<\/li>\n
  2. We are for helping to preserve the Word of God.<\/li>\n
  3. We are for edifying the Body of Christ.<\/li>\n
  4. We are for seeing the salvation of souls.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Next time someone you are trying to share our information with tells you Lighthouse Trails is against everything<\/em>, you can tell them\u00a0Lighthouse Trails is for\u00a0all the\u00a0above as well as many other things that are true, honest,\u00a0 just, pure,\u00a0 lovely, and\u00a0of good report (Philippians 4:8).<\/p>\n

    Here is something else to consider. Let’s say someone tells you one day, “I\u00a0just don’t like Lighthouse Trails, and I don’t like the way they are always talking so negatively about so many things.” This person then says that it doesn’t matter whether what Lighthouse Trails is saying is true or not, they aren’t going to read anything by them. It’s very much like the following scenario:<\/p>\n

    One day, you are in your house when there is a loud and frantic-sounding knock on the front door. You go to the door, open it, and standing there is your clearly upset neighbor shouting, “There’s a fire on the way, heading right for your house.” You push the neighbor aside, go outside, and climb a ladder onto the roof. And sure enough, you see a big fire heading right toward your house. But you think to yourself as you are climbing back down the ladder, “I don’t really like that neighbor, and I definitely don’t like the way he was ranting and raving at me. I just don’t like him at all.” So you go back inside your house, close the door, and continue on with your day.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    This is exactly what is happening with so many Christians today – the authors and editors at Lighthouse Trails and many of our readers are trying to warn of the danger and deception that has come into the church, but we are often brushed off as too negative and being against everything. It doesn’t make any sense to ignore these warnings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
