A Reflection of the Narrow Path
Posted by appolus on May 8, 2025
Our small house church, though modest in number, stands as a precious testimony to a deeper reality, a reality that transcends the glittering edifices and booming stages of modern Christendom.
Over a decade ago I made the conscious, Spirit-led shift, joining countless others across the globe who have heard the still small voice calling them out of spiritual Babylon. For in every generation, God reserves for Himself a remnant, a people who will not bow the knee to Baal, no matter how cunningly he reinvents himself through culture, compromise, or counterfeit religion.
Before our very eyes unfolds the tragic convergence of the harlot church, a synthesis of worldliness and religion, dressed in finery but inwardly defiled. Its heartbeat is not the cross, but the stage; not the Spirit, but spectacle. As it was in Rome, so it is today. The Coliseum, once the epicenter of Roman life, rose from the gold and silver plundered by Titus during the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem. One temple fell, another was built. Worship of the Holy was replaced by worship of self, veiled in the opiate of entertainment. Bread and circuses—tools of distraction, tools of dominion.
Yet the martyr Stephen, in his final breath, echoed the words of our Lord: “The Most High does not dwell in temples made by human hands.” Jesus, speaking to the Samaritan woman, dismantled the geography of worship and pointed to its essence—Spirit and truth. When asked, “Where should we worship?” Christ responded not with a location, but with a mandate: how we are to worship.
It is vital—indeed, imperative—that the true saints gather not around programs, performances, or personalities, but around the presence of God. In Spirit. In truth. And as the great Day of the Lord draws ever nearer, this calling becomes all the more urgent. For history has shown: men gather to entertain themselves. But few gather to worship God as He has ordained.
Let us, then, be counted among the few—those walking the narrow path that leads to life. Let us not be swept away by the many, whose feet tread the broad road of destruction. Let our assemblies be small, but pure; hidden, but radiant. May our worship rise not from stages, but from sanctified hearts. For the time is short, and the Bride must make herself ready.

Amen brother, so glad the Lord has lead us to a small body of true believers who truly seek the to worship the Lord in Spirit and in Truth. We got to witness a brother and sister who where bound in the bondage of addiction and sins being baptised in the river Shannon in Limerick yesterday which is the most known river for daily suicides. The new birth is real and to see a man/woman become a new creation and the old pass away is miracle to see. How blessed to see the Lord moving in power. His word is more powerful than all those flashing lights and entertainment. His word is alive and living and we are seeing it in real lives who the Lord Jesus has come in and completely changed.

My hearts desire is to draw ever closer to our Christ…reach out to the lost and see the seeds planted being watered and harvested for time is short. You are so right … it is so easy to be lulled to sleep. Satan has many distractions but his purposes have never changed. God’s Holy Spirit said,”this is temporary, prepare to meet the Lord.” Deception is everywhere …praise God for His warnings. We are to stay alert and sober…and we are to look up.
