"Once and Future Church"

 Chuck is especially excited about the current move of  God  the Lord is allowing him to participate in. He has been warning us for the 20 years that I've listened to him that someday it won't be "church as usual."  He says eventully the church in America will have to go underground.  We can see persecution all around us: against us Christians who take the Bible seriously.  I recently had to leave my job because I was told to stop talking about God. The persecution has started.  In my personal opinion Jesus has given him a vision and work of Jesus establishing His underground church.  Especially for these times we live in right now, in the States and around the globe.  Koinonia Institute and River Lodge are instrumental in this new direction from our Lord Jesus.  Chuck explains that the bible believing church has always been persecuted by the religious establishment.  J. Verson Mcgee foresaw this coming persecution in America when he was alive.
 
Chuck's current insights on Christ's Church is in the Briefing Pack, "Once and Future Church."   The Holy Spirit tells us to start small home fellowships.  The mission of these home study groups is discipleship.  Chuck explains "you and I are God's sanctuary".  This is our most profound opportunity in America right now because home fellowships are "effective in transforming lives" and persecution proof.  Chuck encourages all of us bible people to work in this direction.  He says America is in difficult times and headed for more.  Our freedom of thought and movement are becoming increasingly restricted.  "We're moving into different times" states Dr. Missler.  "The dark times are the times in which the church flourished. We're moving in a way God that has laid out in advance.  In these small groups the Spirit is free to move. Our only boast is the Lamb Himself."
