George Fox and the early Quakers

Good link.

I have been studying these writings for a few years now.....some of the most profound writings that have moved me personally are the sermons of Stephen Crisp....

He breaks down the mechanics of spiritual warfare and repentance from sin so beautifully. And his Spirit-given words have been a real help to me in times of my own personal warfare.....

William Penn's "No Cross, No Crown" is especially moving and compelling....it is like reading a loving letter of instruction from my grandfather....and his logic and practicality is perfect.

George Fox blows me away. I'm so thankful for Hall and Joan Worthington's work in modernizing these writings so that they are easier for someone like me to understand....


Life-Giving words......Eye-opening revelation......

George Fox wrote that people "stumble around in the drunkenness of ignorance" with regards to spiritual Truth of Christ.....He was a true servant of the Light whose writings were given by the Holy Spirit....and whose doctrines were flawless when measured against scripture.

Thanks be to God for the service of Hall and Joan Worthington who have been entrusted with this profound, life-saving message to christendom.....

An old post. But hardly outdated.

I would like to add that through my journey for Truth, I finally ended up at the doorstep of the Worthington's website. This came after much travel through a large number of pastor driven websites that just made me feel like a pinball. So I prayed that Christ would put me where I needed to be. And lo and behold. It came.

Ever since I was a child, I was very spiritual. Silence was something I liked very much. But we never went to church. My parents weren't really religious. I knew about the Holy Bible and Jesus Christ. But like many kids, that's as far as it went. More than half of my life was lived like that of an atheist.

But I somehow believed in GOD. And that He was spiritual. But churches turned me off. Because they made me feel less spiritual when I attended on and off as an adult. It reminded me so much like cults that I just couldn't bear to take them serious. And I still don't.

I went through many website channels, like Jesus-Is-Savior, John MacArthur, and a long list of others for a couple of years. Each one would grab me with something that sounded believable. But eventually, hypocrisies would be revealed as I became more aware.

Eventually, I began to really understand what "doctrines of men" really meant. It's amazing to me how a pastor can accuse others of things that he himself is guilty of. And he really does believe the words he speaks.

I always came out feeling like someone somewhere was being shunned or condemned for not being the member of an exclusive club.

But the Worthington website was unlike any other to me. I was very surprised at the way they teach scripture. A pastor typically spends an hour trying to define a single point. Analyzing and breaking down many scriptures to draw you into a "truth". As if you are sitting at a seminar with Tony Robbins. But at the Missing Cross to Purity website, it is much much different.

I need not elaborate really. All I can say is that their interpretation of scriptures really reveals what Christ was and is REALLY all about. And it does so in a way that reaches out to all people in a believable way. It affects you in a way that is highly unlike how churches make you feel. I have walked this walk. And I still am. Now I realize why my short readings on the Quakers years ago seemed so appealing to me. Thanks for listening.
