Remnant Nation,
your desire and zeal for God has
been exploited for too long by your leaders. The Abundant Life of Jesus Christ
has been reduced by Gwen Shamblin into a driven existence of proving one's freedom from
idols. What she claims is God's "grace" is a never ending treadmill of
religious work. And your faith in God has been twisted into the fear of
men. In short, the love
of power has smothered the power of love.
Is this
what "mere Christianity" actually should be? Whose approval are you seeking?
Isn't it
time to cross the
valley of decision many of you are struggling with? Isn't it time to get an
alternative perspective about Remnant itself so you can make a better informed
decision about involvement with it?
You're invited
to come together in dialogue with those who know where you are, what you are facing, and what the cost
would be in squarely considering these questions. We aren't "the
enemy." We aren't the "snakes" we're made out to be just
because we've seen what life is like behind the "Zion Curtain."
We are your mothers and your friends. We are your husbands and your
children.
We love and
care enough about you to risk arousing the anger and rejection Gwen has taught
you to treat us with by calling on you to reconsider where you are now ..
We
understand where you are. We want to help. You are not alone.
Join
us by e-mail or the Tent Of Meeting. The Tent Of Meeting is a bulletin board
where you can share your feelings or seek dialogue with those who care where you
are. In Old Testament times, the Tent Of Meeting was a tent shrine erected
daily by Israel in the wilderness places they had to pass through to the
Promised Land as a place for the presence of God to dwell. Think of the Tent here as a habitation in the very real
desert places you may be facing ahead, a place where the One True God is just as
real.
