LTRP Note:<\/strong> We are reposting the following because this is a situation we run into frequently. It is usually a pastor or other church leader who tells a concerned congregant (who has been reading Lighthouse Trails) that Lighthouse Trails is “against everything.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Is Lighthouse Trails Against Everything?”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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 Lighthouse Trails is against everything!<\/em> Our reader was asked this question, What IS Lighthouse Trails for?<\/em> We told our reader to tell this person the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

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

    \n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    Here is something else to consider. Let\u2019s say someone tells you one day, \u201cI just don\u2019t like Lighthouse Trails, and I don\u2019t like the way they are always talking so negatively about so many things.\u201d This person then says that it doesn\u2019t matter whether what Lighthouse Trails is saying is true or not, they aren\u2019t going to read anything by them. It\u2019s very much like the following scenario:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \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, \u201cThere\u2019s a fire on the way, heading right for your house.\u201d 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, \u201cI don\u2019t really like that neighbor, and I definitely don\u2019t like the way he was ranting and raving at me. And he’s always so negative about everything. I just don\u2019t like him at all.\u201d So you go back inside your house, close the door, and continue on with your day.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

    This is exactly what is happening with so many Christians today \u2013 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\u2019t make any sense to ignore these warnings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
