We welcome you now to a true church perspective with Pastor G. Craig Lewis.

Through the fire, we're going to be talking about going through the fire.

I know I'm from Texas, so I say fire, but it's fire.

But we're going to go through the fire.

We're going to be talking about going through the fire.

Those of you that have been tested and tried understand something that the earth is being purified all of the believers

that are in christ the true remnant of god is being purified now because of the return of christ

the return of christ is so imminent i'm telling you i know you've heard it for years, I know people have said

it, but according to the word, things have lined up in a way that they never have before,

which tells us that the coming of Christ is very near.

And as we approach the coming of Christ, he said that he was coming back for a bride without,

or a church without spot

or wrinkle or spot or blemish. And so that denotes that we must be purified and cleansed

before he returned. So that means that a lot of the old stuff you used to do, you can't do anymore.

A lot of the ways we used to compromise and just kind of be you know

lackadaisical and just you know not really paying attention now we have to pay attention because he's

coming back and he's going to get his bride ready we know that from all of the stories in the

Bible that tells us that he prepares his bride for us for himself. And so that preparation

requires persecution. It requires fire. It requires cleansing. It requires all of these things so that

the impurities in us can be removed so we can be prepared. Now, I know people, you know, we live

under the dispensation of grace. And I know people, you know, we live under the dispensation of grace,

and I know people want to always say, well, it's not by our works. We can't earn salvation
