#68 PUTTING ON THE WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD

Some of us cannot detach ourselves from the love of the world because we need a fresh conversion, Pastor Singh states. "We can attend church in a backslidden state." We substitute the symbols of Christianity for a genuine conversion experience. Israel often found itself laden with iniquity (Isa. 1:4), with religious practices that did not please God. The Body of Christ finds itself in a similar state today.  The Body of Christ has fallen from the vision and standards it maintained when Pastor Singh joined the fellowship. The chastening of the church, by COVID-19, causes Brother Singh to reconsider every aspect of service to God: "What I do in the local church; what I do in the fellowship; where I go and what meetings I attend!"  All aspects of our dedication to God need examination, both at an individual level and Body level.
