It’s been an eventful few weeks in the New Independent Fundamental Baptist movement; God has really been purging the churches, separating the wheat from the chaff. Though I personally believe this is a good thing, it has been quite a distressing and confusing time for many people both in these respective churches, and those watching it unravel via Youtube.
I’d just like to say to those feeling discouraged, that we as a movement, are not being destroyed - we are being made stronger. Of course it’s heartbreaking to see supposed men of God crumble and be corrupted, but that does not discredit the great work that God is doing through the New IFB.
In times like this we need to remember who we serve. We serve God, not man. And whilst we should definitely be supporting the great leaders of the New IFB, and the effort they are making to get souls saved, we need to remember to put our trust in God alone because man is not perfect. Man can fail. Do not let the devil use this turbulent time to distract you from what truly matters - winning souls to Christ. God has not left us and his kingdom is still very much at hand. So go forth, give the gospel and get people saved.

Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

The storm of the previous two weeks is starting to settle and some excellent sermons have been preached from the pulpits across America, this week. Ben Knight of ‘Ben the Baptist’ hosted The Week In Review, featuring Pastor Aaron Thompson from Sure Foundations BC, Pastor Jonathan Shelley, the new Stedfast Baptist pastor, and of course the notorious Pastor Steven L Anderson. The video expands on why all of this needed to happen, in relation to what the Bible says. {Matthew 28:19-20}
It is an excellent video so be sure to give it a watch when you get a chance.
